lol. Love the label.

I might have to read the book.

The reporting is so bad that it makes me think the underlying facts aren’t nearly as nice and neat as presented.

And there it is, when you lose the argument attack the sender.

Ask yourself Bass, of all the people you could have chosen to take your 8 or 9 year old child to Paris in the 1700s.....you chose a 14 year old slave girl who has never been off the plantation to travel 1000s of miles throughout countries where slavery exists.

And when you are looking at a task that requires someone of Daniel Boone's stature.....you chose a dainty. The thing I will give Merriweather credit for is knowing his weakness and choosing Clark to accompany him.

He was a great president, I just dont like the fact that we treat him so differently from a historical perspective than others. If held to the same standard his statues should be torn down.

You implied Thomas Jefferson and Merriwether Louis were gay lovers.

I don’t need to treat that as a serious hypothesis.

You either happened to see my post or you are related to Jefferson and have a starship?

I am just wondering if the Jefferson family can deduct the cost of that trip from the reparations they are going to be forced to pay. Every little bit helps.

Wrong again. First, Jefferson didn't "choose" her. He chose another women but she was not innoculated against small pox and Sally Hemmings was the only one available who was innoculated.

Also,where exactly did you get your 1000 to 1 odds that
he didn't Father her children? Not in the article and can't find it any place else.

JFK was such a great President

He was? Bay of Pigs. Kruchev knew he was weak and put up the Berlin Wall...



What people like you don't understand is that what made JFK great was that he wasn't part of the corrupt Political Establishment. He did things like trying to reign in the out-of-control intelligence agencies. He fired long-time CIA Director Allan Dulles, the same man that the crook LBJ placed on the Warren Commission to cover-up and "guide" the investigation into JFK's murder. JFK also resisted the intense pressure to ramp up a war in Southeast Asia.

We get these non-Establishment Presidents so seldom. It's a shame how many people can't figure it out.

Wasn’t the thought that his brother was the father of those kids?

Yes, and that's who it was. The family even spoke about it in letters. This 'new evidence' is bullshite.

It's the same thing they did when they claimed that Carolyn Bryant Donham recanted her story about Emmett Till. She didn't. Some author just one day claimed she did and people ran with it.

Why is anyone supposed to care about this? Is the endgame for this "well, it's nice to know" or is it "muh reprashunz-n-shite"?

How good is the DNA?

Martha Jefferson and Sally Hemmings were half sisters. So the children. Thomas and Martha had were Sally's niece and newphews.

It is very likely Jefferson's brother fathered one child with Sally Hemings.
