@zbear1437 @CalebGAndrew Don’t get me started on the War of 1812, it’s great Naval history, & the strategic necessity of securing the ORV. Or how Madison is the best example of a Constitutionally sound wartime president. 🤩

@lizbit030 @CalebGAndrew You’re definitely correct. Adams had a strict belief system and a good one. Just left him very unwilling to work with others and compromise.. Also everyone, but James Madison who got us into the war of 1812. :p but he is okay I guess.

President tier list

@zbear1437 @CalebGAndrew I love that some APUSH kid put out a presidential ranking and it’s generating so much chatter on history 🤩 It’s hard without defined criteria and established terms. I’d also judge & rank War Time presidents with different consideration, and 1945-1991 presidents differently.

@zbear1437 @CalebGAndrew If I’m just judging John Adams from this pres term, he’s low. BUT he is an important, bold & great man. I don’t see how we get to independence without him. + his legacy is JQA. Revolutionary era presidents from GW to sweet, baby James Monroe deserve special recognition.

@zbear1437 @CalebGAndrew Jackson is also politically brilliant and he will successfully form a response. Interesting thing is they are both Unionists. It’s a fascinating period to study and proof, there is “nothing new under the sun.”

@zbear1437 @CalebGAndrew I’d put the son over the father, in presidential & statesman criteria.

@CalebGAndrew @zbear1437 Why do people not have JQA higher? He is the mind behind the Monroe presidency & he expands US economic systems during his own presidency. I’m not anti-Jackson, but if this is the reason for the JQA’s consistent demotion on these lists, it’s not a great criteria.

@zbear1437 Because he’s one of the most important Presidents and founding fathers.

@JosephRardin It is hard to see past his fatal flaw - The Bull Moose Party.

@lizbit030 I like his persona and what he believed in, but he gave rise to the Woodrow Wilson's and FDR's.

I'd only replace Roosevelt with Coolidge.

@JeanIsWitherin @sot1977 Turn off the comments if it gets too much. It’s not worth 1 second of your peace of mind. I think it’s great you put a list together. It doesn’t matter who agrees or not. Me included. 😊

@sot1977 It’s not fun tho

I just took APUSH and genuinely forgot what a few of these guys even did

@divinetapestry @JeanIsWitherin If she had the prompts that were released, she’ll be fine. But on this Memorial Day, I would encourage her to know Presidents William Harrison and James Garfield for serving with the distinction in U.S. Army during the War of 1812 and Civil War respectively.

@JeanIsWitherin Nice we would be tied then

You’re going to get a 2 on the exam

USS Tennessee (ACR-10): Cruiser renamed Memphis to cede the name to a Battleship (BB-43) We should remember their crews today. Memphis = 43 crew lost due a hurricane and BB-43 = 5 at Pearl + 24 at Okinawa.

Shining Red, White, and Blue tonight through Memorial Day weekend.

@JWantnon @MickmickNYC Excelsior!!

@MickmickNYC This is specifically the Art Department, a team that compromises a Production Designer, an Art Director, a Set Decorator, a Prop Master and many, MANY support crew members under these leads within the Art Department. Thank you for showing appreciation for the extremely hard work that we do! 🫶 Many people only see the Director, the Camera crew and Talent (actors), with zero understanding of how many extremely talented and skilled Designers and Artists go into making their favorite movies and tv shows, live events, I just wanted to call attention to make sure that people know that the work you’re highlighting (transforming the city and taking it back to times past) is the work of the art department, because the art department is ALWAYS present (on screen) but never spoken of. I’m a film and tv production designer in the Art Directors Guild, this is what I do (design film and tv sets). We build the worlds of your favorite characters. Think Batman’s Lair, the Star Trek Bridge, even digital worlds and environments like the artwork you experience at the Las Vegas Sphere, or things like the Super Bowl, or large scale live events and concerts. Production Designers literally design those worlds/spaces/environments, EVERY SINGLE DETAIL with an amazing team of creatives and artists helping them bring those worlds to life. If everyone knew how much work goes into a single 30 second clip of footage your minds would be blown. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. I get to live my passion (design and the creative process) every day (period pieces - which is what this movie is - are my favorite to design). I wish everyone could experience doing what they love for a living for at least one day. There’s no other feeling like it!

Stepping directly onto the set of HBO's The Gilded Age in Manhattan today, and the production scale is absolutely mind-blowing. To completely transform modern New York City back to the 1880s, the crew laid down massive textured carpets over the asphalt to perfectly mimic historic stone streets. There are over 350 background actors fully dressed in period-accurate costumes, alongside dozens of real horse-drawn carriages filling the block. It is incredible to see how much physical craftsmanship goes into creating just a few moments of television magic.

The last sunrise during USS Gerald R. Ford’s historic eleven-month deployment to U.S. 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th Fleets. The Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group deployed as an integrated naval force in support of economic prosperity, national security and national defense.

🇺🇸HOME! ⚓️The guided-missile destroyer USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG 81) returned to Naval Station Mayport, May 16, 2026, following an 11-month deployment to the CENTCOM, EUCOM, and SOUTHCOM areas of operation as the Air and Missile Defense Commander for the Gerald R. Ford CSG.

@AirAssets She looks great! Beautiful sea & anchor. Those Sailors worked so hard!

The USS Mahan DDG-72 an Arleigh Burke Class Guided Missile Destroyer part of the Ford CSG returns from her extended deployment. Thanks for your service folks and job well done.
