Do you have any idea why LBJ was the only president who Queen Elizabeth never met during her reign?
We just don't know! Even the @lbjlibrary has previously stated that they simply don't know why LBJ and the Queen never met.
It seems to be a quirk of bad timing -- or, really, several instances of bad timing. They almost certainly would have met if there happened to be any major state funerals in the United States or UK during when they were both serving as head of state. And two of the biggest state funerals of the 20th Century actually happened during that time -- President John F. Kennedy's in November 1963 and former Prime Minister Winston Churchill's in January 1965. But Queen Elizabeth II was pregnant with Prince Edward at the time of JFK's funeral and unable to attend. At the time of Churchill's funeral, LBJ was suffering from a really bad respiratory infection that had required him to be hospitalized the day before Churchill died. According to LBJ, White House doctors strongly advised that he not fly anywhere while recovering from his illness, so he did not attend Churchill's funeral -- and was heavily criticized for not doing so by the British and American press.
The Queen did not visit the United States while LBJ was President, and President Johnson didn't visit the United Kingdom during his term, so they just kind of missed each other. They corresponded and there was no known personal or political reason that they never met. LBJ and Lady Bird actually hosted a fancy dinner at the White House in 1965 for the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret, and Margaret's husband, the Earl of Snowdon.
LBJ also didn't meet the Queen during his time as Vice President. Elizabeth II did not visit the United States at all during the Kennedy Administration, and President Kennedy's meeting with the Queen took place during a formal state dinner at Buckingham Palace in 1961, which the Vice President wouldn't have traveled to attend.
Interestingly, there is one possible time where LBJ and Queen Elizabeth II actually might have crossed paths, but there's no solid answer about it either way. In October 1957, the Queen visited the United States for several days and a state dinner was held in her honor at the White House by President Eisenhower. At the time, LBJ was the Senate Majority Leader -- arguably the second most powerful person in the United States. The LBJ Library has said that then-Senator Johnson was invited to the state dinner, accepted the invitation, and that the state dinner is on the schedule in his datebook from the time. However, unusually, there is no evidence that LBJ actually attended the state dinner. The LBJ Library says that it seems likely that he would have attended the dinner, but they've never been able to confirm it and, if he did attend, whether or not he met the Queen. But it seems likely that he would have at least been introduced to her if he attended the dinner considering his prominent position in Congress during the Eisenhower Administration. Again, we just don't know for sure.
Eventually, Lady Bird Johnson finally did meet the Queen, but it was 18 years after LBJ's death. In May 1991, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip visited the United States and, while they were in Austin, Texas, they took a trip to the @lbjlibrary where they met Lady Bird and the Johnson daughters.

On the passing of Queen Elizabeth II
"Lillibet" a familiar voice
Whispers in my ear
Philip holds out his hand
"it's time to go my dear"
"Already Philip?" but he just smiles,
"I knew you would protest,
But you've served your country well my love, now it's time to rest".
My family are gathered around,
I know their tears are for me,
But my body has grown tired,
And now I'm finally free.
"I broke the record, 70 years,
I suppose you are quite right"
I took his hand, and walked towards the tunnel of white light.
Then I stopped for a second,
And looked upon my son,
I knew I had four more words before my time was done.
I walked up behind him, as the bells began to ring,
I gave his shoulder a squeeze,
and whispered, "God save the King".
RIP Lillibet…
Elizabeth II was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime and remained the monarch of 15 realms by the time of her death.
Born: April 21, 1926, Bruton Street, London, United Kingdom

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them
People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human
“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”
“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”
“Yeah!!”
“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”
“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“
“How illogical”
“That’s what I’m saying!!!”
#star trek#Vulcans#Humans#not based on a specific thing#but I used to know this annoying couple that were ‘family friends’#who would show up to potluck dinners and the like and would either bring nothing or bring something really just. out of left field?#like a bag of frozen chicken to a bbq#and then proceed to make sure they are first even if it was stated to let kids go first#would take HUGE amounts before anyone else got a chance to get a plate#and then make off with the leftovers again even if they were already claimed for#and it wasn’t a food insecurity thing trust me I would never speak bad about a person getting food if that was even a remote chance#the adults who raised us knew them really well and we’d been to their house a ton of times#they were just dicks#and yeah. they’d occasionally insult the food. while eating the MAJORITY of it.#it was so weird at their home they would go out of their way to get the healthiest options possible#you know the really bland tasteless expensive stuff that apparently was healthier#but then if they were visiting our house they would. eat all our unhealthy snacks.#that always pissed me off so much as a kid because we actually had a food insecurity thing going on#and also a variety of other reasons that are a bit too depressing to bring up on this post#but anyways we’d hardly ever get to have nice snacks#and this couple would just take them all??? even after we’d tell them repeatedly that it was ours and those snacks weren’t gonna be#replaced#hated that couple#if you’re wondering why they were ‘family friends’ it’s because the couple who raised us#(it feels weird to type it out like that but apparently legal guardians doesn’t fit since they never finished petitioning 💀)#liked having them around because it made them look like ‘such great Christian’s’ being nice to the people#that no one else wanted to be friends with#I always thought that was a really weird and fucked up reason to be friends with someone#this got long sorry 😭

Biden, Macron ready to talk Ukraine, trade in state visit
Biden, Macron ready to talk Ukraine, trade in state visit
WASHINGTON (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Washington on Tuesday for the first state visit of Joe Biden’s presidency — a revival of diplomatic pageantry that had been put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Biden-Macron relationship had a choppy start. Macron briefly recalled France’s ambassador to the United States last year after the White House announced a deal to…

Dr. Steve Feldman, a dermatologist from North Carolina, gave a lecture to medical students at the University of Arkansas on improving physician-patient relationships. Then when he tried to register under the Arkansas vendor system to receive his $500 payment, he was rejected.
The reason? Because he refused to check the box promising not to boycott the state of Israel, reported the Arkansas Times.
"Arkansas lawmakers passed a law in 2017 requiring individuals or companies to pledge not to boycott Israel or its settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories if they want to do business with the state," reported Austin Bailey. "These pro-Israel laws served as the model for a recent spate of legislation passed in multiple states to penalize woke investors in service of protecting the fossil fuel and firearms industries. Arkansas passed two laws in 2023 that prioritize the economic well-being of these deadly but lucrative industries over the economic well-being of pretty much everyone else. One prohibits all state entities from working with financial firms that discriminate 'without a reasonable business purpose' against energy, fossil fuel, firearms or ammunition businesses or make investments based on E.S.G. factors. The other, even more extreme one, forces state contractors to pledge not to boycott energy, fossil fuel, firearms or ammunition businesses."
"Suddenly, this devout Jewish man with multiple trips to Israel under his belt found himself in a strange spot," said the report. "Feldman said that during his multiple trips to Israel, he’s seen Palestinians suffer at Israeli hands. Arkansas’s law requiring anyone who does business with the state to sign a pledge not to boycott Israel clashes with his religious and moral views, he said. 'What’s nuts is they’re asking a newspaper to say they won’t boycott Israel, they’re asking Americans who have a conscience, who know Israel is keeping Palestinians from their homes,' he said."
#man isn't trying to dismantle the colonial state#he visits repeatedly#he just seems to think maybe don't beat people and take their homes#and even this little is too much
