Penn State preparing for hard-charging Jeanty and Boise State in CFP quarterfinals
Jimmy Carter once held the highest office in the land — but was just as content in his family home in small town Georgia. At the age of 56, having lost the 1980 election to Ronald Reagan , Jimmy Carter returned to Plains, Georgia , the small town where both he and his wife Rosalynn were born in the 1920s. From the White House , they moved back into the ranch house they built in the city in 1961. That modest home is where Carter peacefully died on Sunday at the age of 100. At the 2020 census, Plains, which to many is only known for being the birthplace of the Carters, had a population of 573. In 2022, the median household income was $36,138. The man Carter snatched the presidency from, Gerald Ford , was the first former president to take advantage of the plentiful opportunities to make money that now come easily to former occupants of the Oval Office. That wasn’t the way of the most humble president. “Carter did the opposite,” presidential historian Michael Beschloss told The Washington Post in 2018. The couple spoke to the paper from the home of their friend Jill Stucky, and the former first couple ate salmon and broccoli casserole on paper plates. The then-94 year-old former president drank ice water from a plastic solo cup and a glass of a “bargain-brand chardonnay,” the paper noted. When Rosalynn Carter died in November 2023, grandson Jason Carter told The New York Times that she once brought Tupperware on a commercial plane and began making sandwiches for her family as well as other passengers. “People were sitting there like, ‘Rosalynn Carter just made me this sandwich!’” he told the paper. “They couldn’t believe it. But she loved people. And she was a cool grandma. She was cool, like, she did tai chi with this sword.” While former presidents often fly on private jets, the Carters flew commercial — more evidence they prefered the humble life, not one of post-presidency fame. On a flight from Washington, D.C., to Atlanta in the summer of 2017, Carter walked the aisle, greeting passengers. Unlike other former presidents such as Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, Carter didn’t make tens of millions of dollars from the private sector. He’s the only president in recent times, apart from former president Donald Trump, who returned to his before-presidency residence. While Trump returned to the glitzy Mar-a-Lago and, at times, Trump Tower, Carter went back to his two-bedroom ranch house assessed at $167,000. Carter told The Post in 2018 that he didn’t want to “capitalize financially on being in the White House.” “I don’t see anything wrong with it, I don’t blame other people for doing it,” he said at the time. “It just never had been my ambition to be rich.” Carter’s White House communications director, Gerald Rafshoon, told The Post that “he doesn’t like big shots, and he doesn’t think he’s a big shot.” Carter was the longest-living president and had the longest post-presidency clocking in at more than four decades. But he also cost less for the U.S. taxpayers than any other ex-president. According to the General Services Administration, the 2023 budget for Carter came in at $496,000, including his pension and miscellaneous expenses. The budgeted numbers for Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump were all over $1 million. Similarly, Carter’s office cost less than any other ex-president’s. For instance, in 2018, at $115,000, his office — the Carter Center in Atlanta — cost less than half of his fellow ex-presidents’, with Obama’s costing $536,000, Clinton’s $518,000, George W Bush’s $497,000, and George HW Bush’s costing $286,000, the agency stated. Carter could have built an office with living quarters in Atlanta, but he and Rosalynn stayed on a pullout couch for years before installing a Murphy bed. Having only worked for the federal government for four years — his single White House term — and not the required five, he didn’t receive federal retirement health benefits. He said that he received health benefits via Emory University, where he taught for decades. Carter returned to Plains after losing the 1980 election. His peanut business, held in a blind trust while he was in the White House, had a debt of $1 million, and he had to sell it. “We thought we were going to lose everything,” Rosalynn told The Post. Carter wrote 34 books, published between 1975 and 2018. They traced everything from his life and career to his faith, aging, fishing, woodworking and peace in the Middle East. They never fetched as much money as books written by other presidents, but with a pension for former presidents at $230,000 last year, according to the federal government , the Carters lived without having to worry about their finances. In 2018, Trump, a man who rarely misses an opportunity to brag about his wealth, was in the White House. At the time, Carter was asked if he thought a former president would ever live the humble way he did. “I hope so,” the man from Georgia told The Post . “But I don’t know.”Bryce Thompson scored 17 points and achieved a milestone as Oklahoma State defeated Miami 80-74 on Friday afternoon in a Charleston Classic consolation game in Charleston, S.C. Thompson made 6-of-14 shots from the floor, surpassing 1,000 points for his career at Oklahoma State (4-1), which also got 15 points from Marchelus Avery. The Cowboys won in large part thanks to their impressive 3-point shooting (10-for-22, 45.5 percent). Oklahoma State backup guard Arturo Dean, a Miami native, posted eight points and one steal. He led the nation in steals last season while playing for Florida International. Miami (3-2) has lost two straight games in Charleston, failing to take a lead at any point. They will play on Sunday against either Nevada or VCU. The Hurricanes on Friday were led by Nijel Pack, who had a game-high 20 points. Brandon Johnson had a double-double for Miami with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Matthew Cleveland scored 11 points and Lynn Kidd and Paul Djobet added 10 points apiece for Miami. Miami, which fell behind 7-0 in Thursday's loss to Drake, got behind 9-0 on Friday as Abou Ousmane scored six of his eight points. Oklahoma State stretched its lead to 18 before settling for a 43-27 advantage at the break. Pack led all first-half scorers with 10 points, but Miami shot just 29.6 percent from the floor, including 3-of-13 on 3-pointers (23.1). Oklahoma State shot 48.4 percent, including 8-for-15 on 3-pointers (53.3 percent) before intermission. The Cowboys also had a 14-8 edge in paint points. In the second half, Miami closed its 20-point deficit to 55-42 with 12:12 left. Miami got a bit closer as two straight short jumpers by Kidd, trimming the deficit to 73-62 with 3:25 to play. The Hurricanes cut it to 77-70 on Pack's 3-pointer with 34 seconds remaining, but the Cowboys hit their free throws to close out the win. --Field Level MediaWorld News | Officer Fatally Shot in North Carolina Supermarket, Suspect in Custody, Police Say
