President Thomas Jefferson’s letter to President James Monroe (Excerpt)
Official Portrait(s) The White House
Farmers and politicians in Colonial America (e.g. Jefferson/Monroe) were slave owners, but some of them gradually attempted to advocate abolitionist measures.

OCTOBER 26, 1823
“America, North and South, has a set of interests distinct from those of Europe, and peculiarly her own. She should therefore have a system of her own, separate and apart from Europe. Its object is to introduce and to establish the American System, of keeping out of our land all foreign powers, of never permitting those of Europe to intermeddle with the affairs of our Nations. It is to maintain our own principle, not to depart from it. I could honestly therefore join in declaration proposed that we aim not the acquisition of any of those possessions, that we will not stand in the way of any amicable arrangement between them and the mother country, but that we will oppose with all our means, the forcible interposition of any other power, as auxiliary, stipendiary, or under any other form or pretext and most essentially their transfer to any power by conquest, cession, or acquisition in any other way. I add the assurance of my constant and affectionate friendship and respect.”
President Thomas Jefferson’s letter to President James Monroe
PRESIDENT JEFFERSON: THE FATHER OF AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY: Thomas Jefferson is widely considered the first North American archaeologist, as he conducted one of the first documented scientific excavations of a Native American burial mound in Virginia, which set a precedent for systematic archaeological practices in the United States; this is why he is often called the “Father of American Archaeology.”.

Donald Trump: The Last Movie Star of “The Golden Era”
I consider Donald Trump to be one of the best actors ever. After watching his latest movie, “From Here To Eternity 2.0”, I have mixed feelings about unwarranted criticisms and the unfair judgment of his performance. Okay. Trump lacks discipline and formal training–‘Achieved stardom without attending acting school. But, in “From Here To Eternity 2.0”, he’s charming, energetic, inspiring, unconventional, and can dance and sing. And the ‘cameras’ love him– ‘impeccable from any angle. Tougher than John Wayne. And more charismatic than Marlon Brandon. Trump just proved he’s truly great at doing “stuff” on camera.
Although Trump’s critics (art critics) aren’t inherently farsighted or lack ‘total’ discernment, they appear to have a common eye condition that may cause blurry close-up vision. To be fair, it is my understanding that they’re just grading movies on a different scale than the average filmgoer. And let’s be clear, my job is to combat undeserved syllogism with skill and art eristic. And yet, I realize that a hypothetical syllogism is (in principle) a valid argument, not a fallacy.
Opening scene:
“From Here To Eternity 2.0” — A recap. In this movie, Trump plays a mad, bipolar-afflicted President. Indeed, he should win an Oscar for this incredibly difficult role. Opening scene: President Trump catapults us into the Ukraine-Russia War (latest) scene effortlessly, perfectly setting up the allure and excitement our President-Hero will try to escape from.

“SOUTHERN BORDER: DONALD TRUMP MAY IMPOSE MARTIAL LAW-TYPE ORDER ON APRIL 20”
Next Scene:
The glimpse into the Harvard University Campus is the perfect tone-setter for the mundane Higher Education resistance movement. Sometimes simple resistance is best. For a movie about anti-democratic sentiments, it makes sense to spend some time on the resistance before that.

DONALD J. TRUMP – THE SLASH-AND-BURN POLICY (2025)
What is slash-and-burn farming? A comparison: “Slash-and-burn agriculture can be considered “good” for the soil in the short term because the burning process releases nutrients from the vegetation, creating a layer of ash that acts as a temporary fertilizer, making the soil fertile for a short period; however, this practice is not sustainable in the long run as it depletes soil nutrients over time and can cause significant environmental damage.“
