Shaun Peterson is director of Lover Of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln. He and historian Tom Balcerski talk about the evidence indicating that Abraham Lincoln shared more than just a cot with Joshua Speed and few others. We debate the evidence, discuss why it matters, and talk for more than you ever knew you wanted to hear about Presidential thighs. Plus, Newsguard attacked by Trump's FCC appointee. Also, what the difference in civilian death tolls in Israeli's wars in Lebanon and Gaza tells us about Israel's enemies therein.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1=======================================================================DECIDETE HOYDevoción Matutina para Jóvenes 2024Narrado por: Daniel RamosDesde: Connecticut, Estados Unidos===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================03 DE OCTUBRECÓMO ENFRENTAR LA DEPRESIÓN —SEGUNDA PARTE—«[Jesús] les dijo: "Siento en mi alma una tristeza de muerte.  Quédense ustedes aquí, y permanezcan despiertos conmigo"» (Mateo 26: 38). Ayer vimos que la depresión y el suicidio son problemas que afectan a muchas personas en el mundo sin importar su edad, género, cultura o religión. Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud, cada año se suicidan cerca de 700,000 personas. La depresión es un trastorno mental común y se estima que en todo el mundo el 5% de los adultos padecen depresión. Estas cifras son alarmantes y nos muestran que hay una gran necesidad de esperanza, consuelo y ayuda. Abraham Lincoln es conocido por haber sufrido de depresión durante la mayor parte de su vida. Uno de sus mejores amigos era Joshua Speed, quien trabajaba en una tienda de productos secos en Springfield. Durante el tiempo que vivieron juntos, los dos se volvieron inseparables y compartieron historias, sentimientos, miedos, esperanzas y sueños. La amistad entre los dos resultó redentora para Lincoln, ayudándolo a superar dos episodios de depresión graves que amenazaron su relación con su futura esposa y sus ambiciones políticas. La Biblia nos enseña que Dios nos creó para vivir en sociedad y tener amigos fieles que nos apoyen en los momentos difíciles. El libro de Proverbios dice: «El amigo ama en todo momento; en tiempos de angustia es como un hermano» (Proverbios 17: 17, RVC). Los amigos nos ayudan a crecer espiritualmente, a corregir nuestros errores, a animarnos y a consolarnos. El mismo Jesús enfrentó una profunda tristeza en Getsemaní. Buscó el apoyo de sus discípulos y les pidió que oraran y velaran con él, pero ellos se durmieron y lo dejaron solo. Aun así, confió en Dios, diciendo: «Que no se haga mi voluntad, sino la tuya» (Lucas 22: 42). Busca el apoyo de tus amigos de la iglesia. Todos necesitamos alguien que nos escuche, nos comprenda, nos anime y que ore por nosotros. Pablo exhorta: «Ayúdense entre sí a soportar las cargas, y de esa manera cumplirán la ley de Cristo» (Gálatas 6: 2). ¿Cómo puedes expresar tu gratitud a aquellos amigos que te acompañan en momentos de angustia y tristeza? Hoy es un buen día para decir «gracias» por estar ahí. Mañana consideraremos otros consejos bíblicos para superar la depresión. 

The writer Carl Sandburg, in his 1926 biography of Abraham Lincoln, made a provocative claim—that the President's relationship with the Kentucky state representative Joshua Speed held “streaks of lavender.” The insinuation fuelled a debate that has continued ever since: Was Lincoln gay? On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss a new documentary that tries to settle the question. “Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln” is part of a growing body of work that looks at the past through the lens of identity—a process that can reveal hidden truths or involve a deliberate departure from the facts. The hosts consider other distinctly modern takes on U.S. history, including the farcical Broadway sensation “Oh, Mary!,” which depicts Mary Todd Lincoln as a failed cabaret star and her husband as a neurotic closet case, and Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash hit “Hamilton,” which reimagines the Founding Fathers as people of color. In the end, the way we locate ourselves in the past is inextricable from the culture wars of today. “It is a political necessity for every generation to be, like, No, this is what the past was like,” Cunningham says. “It points to a struggle that we're having right now to redefine, What is America?” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln” (2024)“Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years & The War Years,” by Carl SandburgCole Escola's “Oh, Mary!”Lin-Manuel Miranda's “Hamilton”“The Celluloid Closet” (1995)“Hidden Figures” (2016)“I'm Coming Out,” by Diana RossNew episodes drop every Thursday.

https://linktr.ee/highfieldboxing https://linktr.ee/highfieldboxing The battle for the worst weekend in boxing intensifies. Lat weekend's action is right up there in the trash stakes. The Newcastle show was interesting as it was a reminder that the talent pool in British boxing is poor and has been for a while.

In 1855, Abraham Lincoln wrote a letter to his best friend, Joshua Speed. Speed was from a wealthy, slave-owning Kentucky family; Lincoln believed slavery was wrong. You are mistaken about this, Lincoln wrote to Speed. But, differ we must." One way for Lincoln to have dealt with his best friend, I suppose, would be to say you're a horrible person, you're morally wrong, and I shun you," says NPR's Steve Inskeep. "Lincoln did not take that approach, which I think might be a little controversial today."You might know Steve primarily for hosting NPR's Morning Edition. He also writes histories, and his newest book, "Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America," takes a long hard look at Lincoln the politician: the man who went out of his way to build political consensus, even with people whose views he considered noxious. It's a case for why we should collaborate, and yes, compromise with people across the aisle – not because it's nice or the right thing to do, but because it makes our government work. Today on Throughline, a conversation with Steve Inskeep about the contradictions of Abraham Lincoln.

For this episode, we're answering a question we've gotten from young people curious about Lincoln's relationships. Along the way we talk about gossipy Springfield, Illinois in the 1840s, Lincoln's close friend Joshua Speed, the invention of the term "straight," and how museums can tell queer stories.

What is it with our Presidents?  They all play golf. I think it has something to do with power. And friendship, too. Gary Ginsberg wrote a book called “First Friends.” It's about nine U.S. Presidents and the people closest to them like Abe Lincoln and Joshua Speed. They slept in the same bed for four years. Vernon Jordan stayed loyal to Bill Clinton even as impeachment loomed. And then there's Donald Trump the loner. He didn't have a best friend. We talk about the long arm of history and friends in high places. “Now What?” is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Fei Lu and Alex Wolfe. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

Louis Bayard's new novel, “Courting Mr. Lincoln,” is an intimately drawn evocation of the love between the brilliant, melancholic future president and the two people who knew him best: his charming confidante Joshua Speed and his spirited future wife, Mary Todd.

As Abraham Lincoln recovered from his nervous breakdown, he further focused on ways to allow his head to control his heart. Yet as 1842 unfolded, he found himself in a potentially deadly fight with a political rival, and growing closer to Mary Todd.

His personal and professional bonds all snapped at once at the end of 1840. It proved a prelude to the worst emotional crisis of Lincoln's life, one that he would need a full year to pull himself out of.

With the Whig Party appearing poised for a major breakthrough in 1840, Abraham Lincoln campaigned hard, showing a desperation that led him to attack individuals and fall back on the shameful race-baiting that defined his youth. Toward the end of the year, he became involved with a young woman in Springfield, named Mary Todd.

Abraham Lincoln arrived in Springfield a deeply insecure and troubled man. He would quickly make a lifelong friend, and just as quickly lose a potential bride.

As Abraham Lincoln rose in the ranks of the Illinois Whig Party, he displayed strong political skills that played a key role in getting the capital of Illinois moved to Springfield. He also showed political opportunism, and frequently, appalling racism in trying to bring voters to his party's column

  Jonathan Putnam's Lincoln and Speed series brings to life the young Abe Lincoln, as a freshly minted lawyer in Springfield, Illinois, solving murder and mayhem with the help of his own Dr Watson in the form of his true life best friend Joshua Speed. Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and today Jonathan talks about re-creating the coming of age years of one of America's most revered presidents and why he gave up partnership in a prestigious New York law firm to pursue his writing. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: How he heard about Lincoln's real life best friend, Joshua Speed Why many readers like Joshua's sister Martha best Where to go to imagine Lincoln's world What's next for Jonathan the writer The writers he likes to read What he'd do differently second time around Where to find Jonathan Putnam:  Website:  http://www.jonathanfputnam.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonathan.putnam.338  Twitter: https://twitter.com/Speed_Lincoln Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathanfputnam/ What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions.  Jenny: But now here's Jonathan. Hello there Jonathan and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us… Jonathan: Well thank you, I'm thrilled to be part of the show. Jonathan Putnam - author Jenny: Now beginning at the beginning, I always like to ask this first up: was there a "Once Upon A Time moment when you decided that you wanted to write fiction and, if there was a catalyst for it, what was it? Jonathan: When I was in college I spent all my time, virtually all my time, writing for the student newspaper and virtually none of my time going to class and I thought at the time I was going to become a writer of some sort.  I ended up in Law School, I ended up as a lawyer and 20 years passed and I had a very good career as a lawyer but writing was always the path not taken for me. And so a number of years ago, I had just turned 40, I had been a lawyer for almost two decades and I asked myself if I was sure I wanted to be lawyer for the next two decades and the answer was I wasn't sure and there was always this path that I had not taken and that was to become a writer and so I decided that I wanted to give that a try. Jenny: That's fantastic.  Now how did you move from that general desire to the very specific choice that you've taken to write a mystery series based around the young Abe Lincoln?  That's a big jump for anyone to take. Jonathan: It is.  There was definitely an ‘aha' moment about that.  I always loved history and I loved reading historical fiction and they say write what you know and I knew about being a lawyer and being a trial lawyer because that's what I had done professionally for twenty years.  So all the way back in 2006 I was brainstorming with my sister about potential famous lawyers in history that I could base a historical mystery book on and my sister was a very good person to be brainstorming about this with because she is an actual historian. Her name is Lara Putnam and she is a well-known historian and the Chair of the History Department of University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.  Lara and I were brainstorming about possible famous lawyers in history, either American history or world history, and we had gone through a number of them and Abe Lincoln was one obvious possibility.  I think most students of history certainly or lawyers would know that he was himself a very prolific lawyer before becoming a politician. The young Abe Lincoln And my sister said “Oh, you should make the books told by his best friend” and I had never heard of Joshua Speed who in real life was this well-born son of a wealthy Kentucky plantation owner who had left his family, moved to the frontier and met the young Lincoln in Springfield,

This week we talk about Lincoln's best friend, Joshua Speed.  We have listener supplied content from Railsplitter Andrea from her visit to the Speed Home in Farmington, KY.  Check it out!

When Abraham Lincoln wrote that the better part of one's life consists of his friendships, it is likely that he had in mind his friendship with Joshua Speed. Starting as roommates in Springfield, the two formed an extraordinarily close attachment, one that provided both men with considerable support at an important point in their respective lives. In his book Your Friend Forever, A. Lincoln: The Enduring Friendship of Abraham Lincoln and Joshua Speed (Columbia University Press, 2016), historian and psychoanalyst Charles Strozier applies the tools of both of his disciplines to exploring the bond between the two of them. In many ways the two were a study in contrasts, with Speed the more outgoing and polished of the two. Yet the younger Speed idolized the gangling lawyer and politician, and his friendship provided Lincoln with succor through depression and emotional turmoil. It was a favor Lincoln returned as well, and though the two became less close with Speed's return to Kentucky in 1842, their enduring friendship led Speed to play a key role in Lincoln's effort to preserve the union during the Civil War.
