John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 -- November 22, 1963), also referred to as John F. Kennedy, Jack Kennedy or JFK, was the thirty-fifth President of the United States. In 1960 he became the youngest person ever to be elected as President of the United States, and the second youngest, after Theodore Roosevelt, to serve. Kennedy served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. The Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the American Civil Rights Movement and early events of the Vietnam War took place during his presidency.
Kennedy's leadership as commander of USS PT-109 during Second World War in the South Pacific, in which he swam with an injured shipmate to a nearby island after his ship had been split in two by a Japanese gunboat attack, turned his sights toward public service. Kennedy represented the state of Massachusetts as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 and in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until his inauguration in 1961. Kennedy, 43, the Democratic candidate in the 1960 presidential election, defeated Republican candidate Richard Nixon, 47, in one of the closest presidential elections in American history. Though the youngest person ever elected U.S. president, he was not the youngest ever to hold the office. In 1901, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt, age 42, was elevated to the post following the assassination of President William McKinley. Kennedy is the most recent of elected U.S. presidents from outside the Sun Belt, and also the most recent to be elected while serving in the Senate. He is, to date, the only practicing Roman Catholic to be elected U.S president. He was also the first 20th century-born president.
President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, United States. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime, but was himself murdered two days later by Jack Ruby before Oswald could be put on trial. The Warren Commission concluded that Oswald had acted alone in killing the president. However, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded in 1979 that there may have been a conspiracy. The entire subject remains controversial, with multiple theories about the assassination still being debated. The assassination itself proved to be a defining moment in U.S. history due to its traumatic impact on the psyche of the nation and the ensuing political fallout, which continues to influence the temperament of American society. Many regarded President Kennedy as an icon of American hopes and aspirations; he continues to rate highly in public opinion rankings of former US presidents. |

President Roosevelt speaks about a very sensitive topic in America Today...Immigration. President Roosevelt sums up what every American today should feel. If you are an Immigrant, we have laws in the nation about becoming a citizen. Many people follow these rules and become citizens every day. Other immigrants break the laws and then march on our nation to change those laws. As Americans, these laws are in place to protect our nation. Please do not come to this country illegally and then try and change our laws. I know so many people who have followed the law and our citzens today...including my parents. Sometimes we have to look at the Past to Understand our Future. President Roosevelt sums it up about what it means to be an American in this speech presented over 100 years ago. |

Doug Mishler portrays Theodore Roosevelt during Chautauqua 2004 on the Germantown campus of Montgomery College.
During his remarkable career as President from 1901 to 1909, Roosevelt's environmental legacy became significant. Even while taking on corporate greed by demanding a "Square Deal" for society, he reserved huge tracts of public land for preservation. In the face of a hostile busi¬ness controlled Congress, Roosevelt utilized his "Bully Pulpit" to deftly create a stronger social conscience in America towards both its people and its wild places.
Roosevelt's passionate first annual message set his conservationist objectives — to utilize nature, but not eradicate it. "Forest reserves should afford perpetual protection for the native fauna and flora, safe havens to our rapidly diminishing large wild animals, and free campgrounds for the men and women who find rest, health, and recreation there. The forests must be set apart forever, for the use and benefit of our people as a whole, and not sacrificed to the shortsighted greed of a few." He established wildlife preserves, national parks, reclamation projects, wetlands, and natural monuments at a rate no political leader in our history has equaled. "We are not building this country of ours for today. It has to last through the ages...I recognize the right and duty of this generation to use the natural resources, but I do not recognize the right to waste them. Conservation of our resources is the fundamental question before this nation and our first and greatest task."
By the time he left office, Roosevelt had set aside 230 million acres for 51 bird sanctuaries, 150 national forests, 18 national monuments, and 5 national parks. He also created 16 major reclamation projects irrigating the west. Roosevelt's "wise use" actions were quite practical, but clear in them were the curiosity and romantic soul of a little boy. He called Yosemite's Sequoias "a temple built by no hand of man... grander than any human architect could possibly build." Later when he dedicated the Grand Canyon as a National Monu-ment he ordered: "I want you to...keep this great wonder as it is. Do not build anything here that would mar its grandeur, sublimity, and beauty; man cannot improve it he can only mar it. To lose these places is like losing the masterpieces of art."
Roosevelt retired from office in 1909, but he continued to live a strenuous life trying to understand and protect the natural world. He went off to Africa for a year to revel in the hunt, but also to renew his study of nature. There, he collected 4,500 birds and 5,000 mammals for the Smithsonian. His penchant for strenuous natural science later drove him to almost kill himself in his "last chance to be a boy," exploring 1,000 miles of uncharted South America and returning with 3,000 new specimens for the Smithsonian. He even began to espouse a somewhat novel idea, that scientists study animal behavior by observation rather than hunting and dissection.
In his amazing 60 years Roosevelt enjoyed life "more than any ten men I know." He also accomplished more than any ten men. John Muir declared that camping with Roosevelt in Yosemite was "a remarkable experience. I never had a more interesting, hearty, or manly companion. I fairly fell in love with him." Henry Adams once described Theodore "as a force of nature." He was also a force for nature.
In 1919, the great naturalist, explorer, and environmental statesman died shortly after finishing a letter. Fittingly the last letter he wrote was about birds, just as his first letter was to his father 55 years before. Roosevelt's passing crushed naturalists: John Burroughs said "I can hardly think of him without crying...the world seems bleak and cold since he is no longer in it." The aged naturalist went on to summarize his friend's place in history, "his legacy is at the heart of America. Every lover of the outdoor life must feel a sense of obligation to him.... It is a good thing for our people that he should have lived, and surely no man can wish to have more said of him."

Chautauqua (shuh-taw-kwa) takes its name from a lake in upstate New York, beginning in 1874 as a training course for Sunday School teachers. In 1878 the Chautauqua movement expanded its philosophy of adult education to include an appreciation for the arts and humanities. By 1904, Chautauqua took to the road as part of the Lyceum movement, bringing lectures and entertainers to towns across America. By 1930, radio, movies, and automobiles had made Chautau¬qua largely a thing of the past.
Reborn as a public humanities program in 1976, today's Chautauquas feature scholars who take on the persona of celebrated historical figures, educating and entertaining audiences as they bring the past to life again. Families gather for our Chautauqua under starry skies in a big open tent. |

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States. He used the Presidency as a "bully pulpit" from which he preached to the American people, publicized corporate misdeeds, and insisted that the interests of the entire nation be served. He broke up big business monopolies and was a strong advocate for conversation. Upon leaving office in 1909, he had expanded the powers of the Presidency and advanced the prestige of the United States as a world power. |

According to The Dallas Morning News, Andrew Young who is seventy-five years old stated that Barack Obama was not old enough to be President of the United States. However the Constitution would disagree with Mr. Young. The minimum age to be president, per the Constitution is 35 years of age. Mr. Young as of date does not usurp the Constitution. There were four other presidents who were Mr. Obama's age at the time they took their oath of office. So is Mr. Young saying those four presidents also were not old enough? |

Inaugural historian Jim Bendat (author, Democracy's Big Day: The Inauguration of our President 1789-2009) discusses inauguration history (and provides a number of amusing vignettes) during a Fox News Channel interview, January 18, 2001.
Bendat subsequently learned that the historical claim that George Washington said the words "so help me God" is really a legend, and that Theodore Roosevelt isn't the only president to not use those words. These issues, as well as many new inaugural vignettes, are noted in the new edition of his book that was published in early 2008. |

For Felix "Teddy" Crooke.
This song began life in 1907 as an instrumental orchestral piece by John Walter Bratton. It was recorded by the Edison Symphony Orchestra in March 1908, on cylinder and promoted by "Edison Phonograph Monthly" as follows: "A characteristic novelty by a favorite composer of instrumental numbers. The music is at times 'spooky' in character and suggests a gathering or march of 'Teddy Bears.' The various instruments are used to advantage in suggesting large bears, small bears, and bears of all kinds. The bassoon is heard prominently at intervals in the rendition. "
The words were added in 1913 by songwriter Jimmy Kennedy. Since then it has become a classic children's song, though it was probably not originally intended for children. Indeed the words (and music) could give a sensitive child nightmares!
The story of how teddy bears became such a popular toy is interesting. Stuffed toys were becoming popular by the end of the nineteenth century, but the stuffed bear designed by a German company did not capture the general imagination until an American buyer put in an order for 3000 of the items. A year earlier, in 1902, the American President, Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt had made national news when he refused to shoot a bear cub while hunting in Mississippi. A famous cartoon of the incident was published in the Washington Post (November 16, 1902). Roosevelt agreed to his name being given to the new toy and thus the "teddy bear" was born. In no time at all every toy company was making them.
The best known early recording of the song was an EMI 78 by Henry Hall and His Orchestra in 1932, with Valarian Rosing (later known as Gilbert Russell) on vocals.
Among the many who have recorded it are Frank DeVol (1949), Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Dave Van Ronk and Gerry Garcia.
In Australia, a Teddy Bears Picnic is held each year as a charity event, to raise money for the Westmead Childrens Hospital in Sydney, which is where my grandson was sent (by helicopter) to recover after a life-saving operation at Canberra Hospital. So, this song is especially for little Felix, who already has enough teddy bears to organise a picnic. |

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
- Theodore Roosevelt
-
"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
- Hermann Goering

The film shows members of "New York's Finest" parading at a crowded Union Square. There are members of the Bicycle Squad, mounted horses, and two regimental marching bands. At the time of filming, the New York City Police Department was still recovering from the corruption scandals of the early 1890's that had severely tarnished the reputation of the department. A State Senate appointed group known as the Lexow Committee investigated the department and issued a scathing report that detailed serious criminal activity within the department. In 1895, public opinion was so low that the annual parade wasn't held. That same year, Theodore Roosevelt was appointed president of the Police Board, and he is credited with initiating strict and effective reform measures that helped restore the public's confidence in the police.
From the Edison Company catalog: NEW YORK POLICE PARADE. Unbuilding [code for telegraphic orders]. An excellent view of "The Finest," on their annual parade and inspection, June 1, 1899. The head of the column is just turning into 14th Street from Broadway, the Morton House forming part of the background. Crowds line both sides of the cable car tracks, falling back as the band heading the first division swings around Dead Man's Curve and passes the camera. Chief Devery makes a fine showing, as also do his men, with their white gloves and helmets, shining buttons and spick and span appearance in general. |

The Republican Party formed by abolitionists in 1854 take bold steps in securing freedoms for former slaves until the Democrats regain control of Congress. Once in control of Congress and many of the southern state governments the Democrats once again stripped away the rights African Americans wouldn't again fully achieve until the civil rights movement of the 1960's.
- In 1865, Congressional Republicans unanimously backed the 13th Amendment, which made slavery unconstitutional. Among Democrats, 63 percent of senators and 78 percent of House members voted: "No."
- In 1866, 94 percent of GOP senators and 96 percent of GOP House members approved the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing all Americans equal protection of the law. Every congressional Democrat voted: "No."
- February 28, 1871: The GOP Congress passed the Enforcement Act, giving black voters federal protection.
- February 8, 1894: Democratic President Grover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress repealed the GOP's Enforcement Act, denying black voters federal protection.
- October 16, 1901: GOP President Theodore Roosevelt invited to the White House as its first black dinner guest Republican educator Booker T. Washington.
- January 26, 1922: The U.S. House adopted Rep. Leonidas Dyer's (R., Mo.) bill making lynching a federal crime. Filibustering Senate Democrats killed the measure.
- Until 1935, every black federal legislator was Republican. America's first black U.S. Representative, South Carolina's Joseph Rainey, and our first black senator, Mississippi's Hiram Revels, both reached Capitol Hill in 1870. On December 9, 1872, Louisiana Republican Pinckney Benton Stewart "P.B.S." Pinchback became America's first black governor.
- August 17, 1937: Republicans opposed Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Supreme Court nominee, U.S. Senator Hugo Black (D., Al.), a former Klansman who defended Klansmen against race-murder charges.
- September 24, 1957: Eisenhower deployed the 82nd Airborne Division to desegregate Little Rock's government schools over the strenuous resistance of Governor Orval Faubus (D., Ark.).
- May 6, 1960: Eisenhower signs the GOP's 1960 Civil Rights Act after it survived a five-day, five-hour filibuster by 18 Senate Democrats.
- November 2, 1983: President Reagan established Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a national holiday, the first such honor for a black American.
- President Reagan named Colin Powell America's first black national-security adviser while GOP President George W. Bush appointed him our first black secretary of state.

Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Ann 'The Man' Coulter, Michael 'Savage' Weiner, Amy Goodman, Al Franken, Mara Liason, Republicans, Democrats, Neil Cavuto, Fox News, NPR, All Things (Irrelevant) Considered, Juan Williams, Don Young, Bill Kristol, James Boner Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers & John Kerry are a few names that come to mind... Is that why Britney is going crazy and trying to commit suicide. She wants to kill herself because she finally realized that Nazi evil has infiltrated our government- all her favorite tv commentators are really propaganda mouthpieces for the Military Industrial Complex- ie the New Nazis.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Tom Bopp, the resident pianist in Wawona Hotel inside Yosemite National Park, gave an impromptu lecture on silent movie accompaniment of yesteryears.
He played samples of :
"HURRY" music,
"BURGLAR" music,
"INDIAN" music,
"SALOON" music.
He also played a composition of 1925 music, for a scene in a Charlie Chaplin silent film titled, "GOLD RUSH".
The music was for the scene where Charlie Chaplin falls in love with the girl in the saloon.
Pictures I filmed while this music was going on were that of
President Theodore Roosevelt with John Muir in Mariposa Grove in Yosemite Park
a picture of the Wawona Tunnel Tree
a picture of Henry Washburn, one of the Washburn brothers who owned Wawona Hotel.

The Gold Rush - Charlie Chaplin (1925/1942)

Source: www.arhive.org The movie was originally released before the invention of sound film. For the 1942 re-release Chaplin composed and recorded a musical score, added a narration (his own voice) and tightened the editing. Since the film was originally shot at 18 frames per second, the sound version, shown at 24 frames per second, is both shorter and faster than the original silent screenings. This has the side effect of making Chaplin's slapstick routines appear more frantic than before, a fact that had probably influenced Chaplin's decision to shoot Modern Times at silent speed.

My Father talks about his Grandmother Mary Agnes Jones Holsing. This video is part of my genealogy website.
Mary Agnes was the daughter of James Jones, one of the largest coal mining operators in Western Pennsylvania. The Agnes Mine at Marianna was named after her. This was the largest producing coal mine in the world in 1908. President Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft toured the Marianna mines.
