Podcast appearances and mentions of sally hemmings

Carlos T. Carter with the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh joins Larry and Marty for his weekly segment. Carlos talks about seeing Dr. Mary Lee Brady-Atkins, the oldest living descendant of Sally Hemmings, speak at the August Wilson Center this past weekend. Marty also asks him about the low test scores around the country. 

Jefferson, the man the legend, the founding father, president number 3, immortalised by the Jeffersonian, schools and streets and who knows what all over the USA and of course, who could forget, slave owner!He even leased his slaves out to others so that he could profit from them while he was in France. Jefferson is tainted and we have to look at him through those eyes.He was well educated, he had access to elite education, access to the writings of all the great political thinkers of the time and was inspired by George WytheHis presidency is shaped by three fundamental events: The first Barbary War, The Louisiana Purchase and the Embargo Act of 1807.In addition his intimate relationship with Sally Hemmings and his close friendship with Jupiter Evans give us pause for thought. What was truly important for Jefferson? Why did he not free so many of the people who he was personally entangled with?I welcome opinions of every kind so please come and find me on social media at:Instagram: TwoandaMicTwitter: TwoandaMic1

Tour guides have been trashing Jefferson because he owned slaves. They also talked about Sally Hemmings, the slave he had children with. He also built his home on Native American land.

Sally Hemings is one of the most famous—and least known—African American women in U.S. history. For more than 200 years, her name has been linked to Thomas Jefferson as his “concubine,” obscuring the facts of her life and her identity.The historical question of whether Jefferson was the father of Hemings' children is the subject of the Jefferson–Hemings controversy. Following renewed historical analysis in the late 20th century, and a 1998 DNA study (completed in 1999 and published as a report in 2000) that found a match between the Jefferson male line and a descendant of Hemings' youngest son, Eston Hemings, the Monticello Foundation asserted that Jefferson fathered Eston and likely her other five children as well. However, there are some who disagree. In 2018, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation of Monticello announced its plans to have an exhibit titled Life of Sally Hemings, and affirmed that it was treating as a settled issue that Jefferson was the father of her known children. The exhibit opened in June 2018SALLY HEMINGShttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_HemingsTHE LIFE OF SALLY HEMINGShttps://www.monticello.org/sallyhemings/Thomas Jefferson's Black and white relatives meet each otherhttps://youtu.be/7uCvaTV-L0UNew Monticello Exibit Has picture of whole familyhttps://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/new-monticello-exhibit-takes-closer-look-sally-hemings-slavery-healing-ncna888136DON'T FORGET TO RATE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBEJoin us on social mediaVisit our website www.adaywithcrime.comadaywithcrime@gmail.comCover Art created by Geneva McClamSound Mixing and editing by David McClamIntro and outro jingle by David McClam

Somewhere in Washington, in a parked car. Ike: It's a dumpster fire.Mike: They'll bound back.Ike: Didn't Elon Musk invent some kind of brain enhancement thing? Is it too soon to get that for Biden? Is it only chimps?Mike: What?Ike: Nutrisystem … Nutra grain … Mike: Nuralink! Ike: Is it too late to join human clinical trials?Mike: Don't be an ass. Everybody gets old. Ike: Most people don't get that old. Mike: The boomers. They built it all. Now, they're destroying it all. Everything is coming apart. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer - how did it all go so wrong?Ike: Seriously, calm down. It's not that bad. He can bounce back. If he passes those bills the press will be giving him slobbery blow—you know. Mike: Please don't say it. Ike: He's putting on the heat with Manchin, the press keeps bullying Sinema - how long can she possibly hold out? Although her fashion sense tells me she doesn't exactly want to blend in. Got Obama out in Virginia to drag MacAuliffe over the finish line. They have Americans whipped up into unmanageable panic and fear with January 6th. They'll do as they're told. Polls will rise because that is the story we're going to tell. Reality is less of an issue than what we say the reality is. Reality isn't what you think it is. Reality is just a matter of opinion. If we say everything is going fine, then everything is going fine.Mike: What?Ike: They'll bounce back. He's too big to fail. They are too big to fail. The press, the blue checks - they will not let him fail. They put him in power and they don't want to look like fools. We got this.Mike: It's more than the polls. There is a disconnect between reality and fantasy. The people who are dictating what the Democrats do are themselves completely out of touch with at least half of the American people. What the Right thinks about the Left is closer to reality than what the Left has decided the Right is. The Democrats only have one option to win elections: To scare voters. Rolling Stone comes out with a January 6 piece just before a big election. But what no one ever says is that there were two separate events that day. One was legal and one wasn't. They're treating the whole thing, all of the people who were there to protest lawfully and rightfully into insurrectionists. They weren't. And yet. If they can keep the people scared they can maintain some power. Once that fear goes away, though, they are sunk. But they need fear and fear is destroying the country. Democrats really think that this is the way forward. It is a way forward. To war. Ike: You're overthinking it. I'm telling you, the kind of power backing the Democrats right now is insurmountable. We just need to spitball a few ideas to throw out into the public to let them know the Biden administration is on their side. Maybe stop testing baby puppy beagles. Just a thought.Mike: Oh you mean like removing Thomas Jefferson from City Hall? Pronouns Day by the State Department? This was not supposed to be America's second revolution. You start taking down the statues of confederates, that's one thing. Teddy Roosevelt - now it's getting weird. You take down Jefferson, that's the end of the American experiment. Ike: Okay, so those didn't work as well. We have to think outside the box here. Ice cream, bike rides, that disastrous Town Hall with Anderson Cooper…not working. So what about, you know, maybe a kind of casual fun thing. Slow jam the news?Mike: BIDEN IS NOT OBAMA! He doesn't have that kind of charisma. No one wants to see him on TV. The country is falling apart. Ike: Do you want me to give you a “yeah but” or are you past the point of no return.Mike: We just dig around in our pockets and find that one shiny penny that gets us off the hook. Yes it was a global pandemic, yes we were so freaked out we were wearing face shields and lining up outside of Costco but when hundreds of thousands hit the streets it was yeah but they're wearing masks. Yeah but they're outside. In May. Of 2020. I know what your “yeah but” is going to be. You'll say yeah but Thomas Jefferson isn't being taken down, he's just being moved. But yes moved after being called an offensive racist! THOMAS JEFFERSON!Ike: Yeah … but …what do you me to say? Mike: I want you to say Biden will start facing reality. He'll start being the guy who would never go for removing Thomas Jefferson from City Hall. It's not that hard. It's the least you'd expect from a president. The very least. Ike: Those who voted on it don't represent the Democratic Party or Biden. Mike: Yeah but. Yeah but. Yeah BUT!Ike: Why are you generalizing? Okay, so we all know what Thomas Jefferson did with Sally Hemmings and all that, what this whole country did building itself up to be the greatest country in the world, wasn't exactly pretty. Do you think the elite class who own million-dollar homes are really going to give them back to the indigenous people they claim to care about? Like Gwyneth Paltrow and Laura Dern? No. Are they going to give away all their money to families living in poverty? Not a chance. Taking away the Jefferson statue allows them to feel as though the right people, long since dead, aren't around to defend themselves or make excuses or virtue signals on Instagram, are the ones paying the price for progress. That is enough. Take down the statue and they can keep their stuff. Mike: What we need is someone with courage. Wisdom. Someone to stand up to Twitter. Teddy Roosevelt took a bullet to the chest and still went on to give a speech. He could handle Twitter.Ike: Biden is just trying to get through the day. And I don't know if TR could handle Twitter. Public humiliation is a crippling fear.Mike: They voted for the guy in the middle. The moderate. If you could sum up what they voted for it would be: Not Bernie Sanders. Not Elizabeth Warren. Ike: They didn't vote FOR anything. They voted against something. Or someone. The American people don't know what they want. We tell them what they want. Mike: What if America is being sabotaged. What if there is an entire army of spies infiltrating all of our institutions and slowly weakening them. Ike: I think those are just Berkeley graduates. Mike: It's all starting to make sense now. What if you were smart enough to destroy a country not with bombs but with ideas. Idea pathogens. What if you could weaken their education system, weaken their military, weaken their scientific research by figuring out how to knock out those who are genuinely the best at what they do but because they might not meet the DEI requirements they have to go work at Costco just to find employment.Ike: I'm sorry, you lost me, man. Get a grip. It's not that big of a deal.Mike: Not that big of a deal? The whole plane has crashed into the whole mountain.Mike: Think about it: you have no choice but to hop aboard the Woke Express, destination: Utopia. And if you have no choice that means your military has no choice, your teachers have no choice, your media has no choice, your entertainment has no choice. How can a country function when it is at war with its own foundational principles? Think of how easy it would be to get on Twitter and call everything racist. The Chinese totally have our number on that. They laugh at us because of it. They know they just have to press that button and our entire system goes into DEFCON 1. Think of how easy it is to throw us off our game, to scare us into distraction and panic.Ike: You've been watching too much Tucker Carlson. Mike: Me and everyone else in America. It used to be easier to pivot when no one did. Ike: But now they do.Mike: Now they do.Ike: Even Jake Tapper. Mike: Even Jake Tapper.Ike: Even Rachel Maddow. Especially Rachel Maddow. Mike: I think people are watching because they're angry. Ike: Trump is gone. They have nothing to be angry about.Mike: Except Trump isn't gone, is he. They booted him off social media just to prove the half the country that votes for him that they are elites who are above even the President. Now he's got some social media thing that is worth twice what the New York Times is worth. He is headed towards running a business worth 20 billion. Ike: He'll screw it up. Mike: Doesn't matter. This is only moving in one direction. It means the left is collapsing. You get that, right? Once they start firing editors at the New York Times for words they said on a field trip, it's over, man. Thomas Jefferson - it's over. Ike: Come on, we have a whole army on Twitter. The blue checks! Mike: What, that's like 3,000 people max. Ike: We have Zuckabucks. Mike: America is an idea. An idea that is crumbling and being replaced by ideas that have already proven themselves failures. Even Vladimir Putin knows this. Even Xi Jinping knows this. They see what America is becoming. They also seem almost sad to watch its decline. I always used to go to sleep at night thinking I lived in the best country in the world and that every other country envied our scrappy tale. But look at us now. Ike: Look, man, it's really not that bad. Mike: It is that bad. Ike: White men have ruled this country since its founding. So they're taking a well-deserved hit. Let's recenter the narrative for a change. Mike: Oh, yeah, no big deal, like every person who built this country, drove scientific achievements, made the best movies, wrote the best books. We're just gonna pretend they're expendable?Ike: By stomping on and exploiting marginalized people. Mike: Oh b******t. Right, like Einstein? Ike: Pretending is not so bad. This whole country was founded on pretending. Jack Dorsey and Jeff Bezos and Joe Biden are the perfect patriarchs America wants. What you can see is fully compliant, what you can't see still holds all of the power. Take away a Jefferson statue here, implement DEI mandates there, vote for Kamala Harris. We are all playing a game that all of a sudden we've solved the problem of inequity. But it's all a game, man. It always has been. So let's just pretend a little longer. That is what we're paid to do so shut up and dance. Mike: So what's next?Ike: We're primates. We probably need an alpha male to take us out of chaos in the final analysis. Round and round and round in the circle game. No one on the left has that kind of courage right now so you do the math. Mike: So after that all that, we're primates, that's it? Ike: Well if I had to guess, yes. Of course if I said that out loud I'd be fired. Mike: So in other words, Trump 2024. Ike: Your words, not mine. Mike: We are seriously going to run a candidate who couldn't even beat competitors on her own side against Trump? Ike: Do we have a choice? Mike: Why don't we have a choice? Ike: Because if you critcize her or seek a replacement you will be called a racist, just as you would have in 2020 if you suggested she wasn't the best choice for Veep. How else are we going to get an overeducated group of social justice Zoomers to turn out? Mike: Let's go, Brandon.Ike: Yeah but. Mike: Yeah.

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we travel back in time and talk about one of the most famous of the Founding Fathers: Thomas Jefferson. To some historians, Jefferson was the most important member of the revolution. He drafted the constitution on his own, and his writings inspired troops and helped forge a government. He rose in rank from a lawyer to Secretary of State and then from Vice President to the 3rd President of the United States. But, he was a man of his times. He owned over 600 slaves, and most historians say he raped his 14 year old slave Sally Hemmings and forced her to father 6 slave children with him. Jefferson was born to wealth on his father’s plantation. He had an amazing education and was truly a renaissance man, dabbling in everything from music to architecture and even paleontology and of course politics. He became a lawyer and politician just as the Revolutionary war broke out, and he became the writer and mouthpiece for the Congressional Congress. He fought for religious freedoms, built the University of Virginia, and did many amazing things. He also almost made the newly formed America go nearly bankrupt, said the worst things about blacks you can imagine, and let’s not forget the raping the slaves thing. He’s an interesting man from an interesting time, so if you’re into history (and bad jokes) give this one a listen.     Visit Our Sources https://www.biography.com/us-president/thomas-jefferson https://www.monticello.org/thomas-jefferson/brief-biography-of-jefferson/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-dark-side-of-thomas-jefferson-35976004/ https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/10-facts-about-thomas-jefferson-for-his-birthday#:~:text=He%20was%20born%20on%20April,face%20on%20the%20modern%20nickel. https://www.phillymag.com/news/2014/04/11/10-facts-thomas-jefferson-slavery-at-jeffersons-monticello-national-constitution-center/ https://allthatsinteresting.com/thomas-jefferson-dark-side

Es probable que la esclava favorita de Jefferson, Sally Hemmings, fuera hermanstra de su mujer, es decir, hija de su suegro. Por su sangre mestiza, justamente, la muchacha era muy blanca de piel, de rasgos sumamente caucásicos y los testimonios de la época la describen innegablemente hermosa.

Hal Shurtleff, host of Camp Constitution Radio, interviews Steve Byas on the subject of his book, "History's Greatest Libels." Steve refutes the lie that George Washington was a Diest, that Thomas Jefferson father a child with his slave Sally Hemmings, and many others. This show originates on WBCQ The Planet George Orwell said, "The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history." Liberals understand that they win victories today by distorting the record of our past. For all their devotion to the merits of tradition, conservatives think a great victory, such as the confirmation of Clarence Thomas, is the end of the battle. Liberals never concede the historical record, and neither should those who believe in limited government, free enterprise, and individual liberty. In History's Greatest Libels, Steve Byas takes the battle to the Left, challenging head-on their politicized distortions of the past. Steve Byas is a professor of history at Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College in Moore, Oklahoma, editor of the Oklahoma Constitution newspaper, and a regular contributor to New American magazine. He has written a high school government textbook, two mystery novels (Digging Up Bones and Sooner Dead), and his work has also appeared in the Tennessee Historical Quarterly. He lives in Norman, Oklahoma, with his wife, Donna

While Jefferson was in Paris he started having sex with Sally Hemmings, commented on the Constitution, and saw the spread of revolution in Paris. We look at one of the most critical periods of Jefferson's life through his letters.

Some of us were having an existential crisis about the fourth of july, which is totally normal. Since the last thing the women at Such Nasty Women want to do is celebrate white guys, they take a look back at how America has been treating black women poorly since the literal conception of the nation. Enjoy this bonus episode about Sally Hemmings to remember that not only is America bad now, it pretty much always has been unless you're a white dude. Maybe we shouldn't let Savannah write these descriptions after she's been sleep deprived for nights due to incessant fireworks. Yay America.

Clotel; or, The President's Daughter is a novel by William Wells Brown (1815 – 1884), a fugitive from slavery and abolitionist and was published in London, England in December 1853. It gained notoriety amid the unconfirmed rumors regarding Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings. Brown was still considered someone else's legal property within the borders of the United States at the time of its publication. It is considered to be the first novel written by an African American. The book follows the experiences of three generations of women during slavery. Brown used the injustices of slavery to demonstrate the destructive effects it had on the African American family, most significantly the so–called tragic mulatto. Brown had escaped from slavery in Kentucky while still in his youth, and became active on the anti–slavery circuit.
