thomas is job has also become harder. i try to meet refugees any chance i get in the places where they hang out. as one of the effects of the fresh incident was that yes the town might seem safer now to some but it's also way harder for me to find people. so why are so many refugees staying home now. they were constantly asked for their papers because the best skin color this was true for africans who got checked all the time and arabs who are always being stopped over petty stuff humans are affected by such discriminatory treatment when they realize they are being treated differently and i definitely believe that the situation has gotten worse in frankfurt the brush nightclub has clung on but the spirit has changed the course of look. in the end for us as a company people stayed away for months after that incident for the sake of. why should we ordinary people have to deal with such problems. how can people who we welcomed with open arms turn around and her to so badly. that's why i totally understand and support rene vi

everyone understood james madison would be the successor to thomas jefferson. problem was now you had james monroe, who had been governor in virginia. he had been secretary of state under james madison. he again becomes president. a lot of other people are starting to say, wait a minute. how come the virginians are consistently getting nominated for this office and winning? by the time monroe's presidency is winding down, it is 1824 and competition has been brewing for years. people cannot wait to jump in. they have a lot of candidates and one of those was actually william crawford, who had been secretary of the treasury, if i recall, and crawford gets what's called the king caucus endorsement. the king caucus was essentially a meeting of each party's congressional delegation to determine who should be the party nominee. it is kind of derogatorily referred to as king caucus because people from outside washington were saying, wait a minute, you mean these congressional members get to elect the king? how is that? we are in a democratic country. you have this sens

thomas jefferson as you can see is probably the third most decayed president here. you see he's starting to fall apart pretty bad. he died, so i've heard, on the same day as john adams four hours apart, albeit on july the 4th which i thought was an interesting piece of history. on dry days in the summer often we allow our quests to walk through here. you can see this area is pretty wet. we've had significant weather here lately. we've never seen snakes back here, but it looks like it's an area that is completely conducive to snakes. i always make sure my guests are mindful of that as they're walking through here. there's all kinds of different weather where we'll conduct these tours. the neatest thing i've seen is a bald eagle circling george's head. we've been out here in electrical thunderstorms at night where it looks like crawler lightning strikes are coming out of fdr's mouth. i've not been back here in the winter, but i know there's a lot of people that would absolutely die to photograph or see these in the snow. so that will be very exciting. and then fog, fo
