Legacies Season 2 Casting Twist: Meet Matt Donovan's Replacement!

Matt Donovan will not be the sheriff of Mystic Falls when Legacies Season 2 launches later this year.

TV Line is reporting that Bianca Kajlich (Rules of Engagement) will take on the role of Sheriff Mac, the lady in charge of the town we've loved since The Vampire Diaries debuted almost ten years ago.

Sheriff Mac is “the human line of defense in a town regularly besieged by monsters. Despite a troubled past, she’s willing to open herself up to a new romance when the opportunity arises.”

The outlet also reports that Mac is named after Marguerite MacIntyre who played Liz Forbes on The Vampire Diaries.

After leaving The Vampire Diaries during its sixth season, MacIntyre moved to The Originals to work in the storyline department. She then became a writer on Legacies.

As for Matt Donovan, he was played by Zach Roerig on The Vampire Diaries.

He was still the sheriff of Mystic Falls during Legacies Season 1, but there's no telling what becomes of him on Legacies Season 2.

Matt has had several brushes with death but always seems to find a way to live another day. Whether his luck will run out, we don't know.

Leo Howard has also been added to the Legacies Season 2 cast as Mac's son, Ethan.

It was previously reported that Bianca Santos (The Fosters) had joined the cast as Mac's daughter, Maya.

All three join Thomas Doherty and Alexis Denisof as new additions to the Season 2 cast.

It's still unclear whether Karen David will return as Emma Tig, but given that the actress is a series regular on Fear the Walking Dead, there's a good chance she will not be returning.

As always, we'll keep you up to speed on that front.

Legacies Season 2 gets underway Thursday, October 10 at 9/8c.

Here is the official synopsis:

Set in the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted, Legacies tells the story of the next generation of supernatural beings as they learn what it means to be special in a world that may never understand.

It's typically a school for vampires like MG (Quincy Fouse), werewolves like Rafael (Peyton Alex Smith) and witches like twins Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) and Josie Saltzman (Kaylee Bryant).

So the kids and their beloved headmaster Dr. Alaric Saltzman (Matthew Davis) were stunned to come face to face with a series of monsters and creatures they had only ever heard of in myth and lore.

A dragon. A gargoyle. The Headless Horseman.

The evil behind the real-life resurrection of these formerly fictional beings proved to have a horrifying connection to the school’s newest student, Landon Kirby (Aria Shahghasemi.).

This led his first and only love Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell), the school’s shining star, to sacrifice her place at the school — and in the world — to protect Landon from a terrible fate.

The new season will show us a world without Hope Mikaelson and all the chaos that goes along with it.

All the while, Hope will be trying to find her way back to the school she has learned to call home and the friends she has learned to love like family.

It will be filled with new monsters and more romantic and emotional surprises than ever.

The newest series in The Vampire Diaries franchise, Legacies is from My So-Called Company and Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios.

Executive producers include Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals), Brett Matthews (The Vampire Diaries), Leslie Morgenstein (The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, The Originals) and Gina Girolamo (The Originals).

To my American readers,

I know everything feels horrible right now. It has been an immensely triggering few weeks for me watching the Kavanaugh process and the absolutely hideous victim blaming, and I can’t imagine how much worse it is for you (especially survivors -- please take care of yourselves. I know how fucking hard it is, I’m having a hard time myself doing so, but please.)

I can’t do anything that will help in any concrete way, but I feel like today is a day where I give you some happy things, because fuck knows I need them right now too.

Here are a lot of happy thoughts, because I…needed a lot of happy thoughts.

-When Harry sleeps in the middle he complains the giants are crushing him. When Harry isn't in the middle he complains until the giants let him get in the middle. Roman compared him once to a cat that meows to be let outside and then immediately meows to be let inside, and Evan laughed so hard he choked while Harry fumed and then told the giants to let him free, because they both sucked. They did not. Time to be crushed, Harold.

-Vinny and Tony have a secret handshake called holding hands. Anton says that’s not a secret handshake at all, but Thomas disagrees. He thinks it’s even better than the secret handshake him and Fourns had, and his and Fourns’ included finger guns.

-Marc would like it to be known that he loves Dan Riley more every single day, as if we didn’t know that already.

-Bryce would like it to be known he loves Jared Matheson even MORE(r) every single day (Bryce it’s not a contest and morer isn’t a word.)

-Grace is absolutely beloved by the Caps because every time she’s around she kicks Robbie’s ass at video games and it’s good to see the sorest winner in the world lose. Quincy has offered to adopt her.

-David Chapman is very, very loved, and the people who love him make sure he knows it.

-Jake’s one of the first people in the room after Allie has her first son, and he cries like a fucking baby when he gets to hold his nephew. Allie’s too tired to mock him at the time, but she mocks the hell out of him for it later.

-Nobody’s making fun of Georgie for bursting into tears when he holds his daughter for the first time. Or his son.

-Jules never goes back to Gaspe, but he does help fund an indoor rink there, and one day, he’ll watch a kid who grew up playing in it get drafted, and it’ll hurt, but in a good way.

-Liam and Mike’s mom get along so well it fills Mike with despair. They use it for evil and teaming up on him whenever they’re together. Once literally, when he was subjected to the most unfair game of Risk in the history of the world.

-Adam will fall in love one day, and it’ll be mutual, and one day, not that day, but not that long after, he’ll stop feeling like he doesn’t deserve it.

-Derek finds flowers Andy isn’t allergic to and has them delivered to their house every two weeks. They sit in the kitchen. They’re very pretty.

-Speaking of flowers, Sven and Gerard face some tough competition in their love life when one of Yvette’s tiny students falls madly in crush with her. He gave her a flower. Do they give her flowers? (Gerard immediately buys so many flowers.)

-One day Luke is going to dance with Ben’s daughter at her wedding and he steps on her toes twice but she just laughs, and he adores her. 

-Stephen promised Gabe he could put a ring on it if he won another Cup. The Canucks win another Cup before Gabe retires. Gabe asked Stephen’s parents before he asked Stephen and Anouk threatened to kill him if he was fucking with her, and then kill him if he didn’t ask. They just did a small civil ceremony and it didn’t change much of anything (they’d been common-law partners for…ever by then), but their parents are off their backs now!

Masterpost of historical Hamilton facts

oops my hand slipped so now i have a masterpost of little facts for almost every hamilton character. I tried to source most of it (or the ones not found in the biography), but take all of them with a grain of salt.

Alexander Hamilton:

He tried to steal British cannons sick

He tricked New York into thinking he could speak to ghosts

He was thought to have drowned at the Schuylkill River and was announced dead to Washington by Henry Lee (not Charles Lee!)

He misspelled “Pennsylvania” on the Constitution

He supported the Alien Act, which was basically anti-immigration (which was kind of ironic)

He chided both Eliza and Laurens for not writing to him often enough (x, x)

He also invited Laurens to a threesome on his wedding night (x)

He loved to garden and planted dogwood trees, strawberries, cabbages, roses, asparagus, etc

He was actually very family oriented and tried to make time for his children

He hid behind Henry Knox when a British shell headed their way

Once he was so delirious with yellow fever that he agreed with Jefferson on something

I feel like the last bullet should be something really cool but i think you all should know that he carved a unicorn into his powder horn (just search an image. he was not exactly an artist)

John Laurens:

We all know he was super gay so I’m just going to list some quotes Hamilton and Laurens wrote to each other (x)

“Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships, I wish, my Dear Laurens, it might be in my power, by action rather than words, to convince you that I love you.”

“You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.”

“Ternant will relate to you how many violent struggles I have had between duty and inclination—how much my heart was with you, while I appeared to be most actively employed here…”

“I entreat you not to withdraw the consolation of your letters. You know the unalterable sentiments of your affectionate Laurens.”  

He was possibly suicidal, as Hamilton wrote in a letter to him “…and have recourse, neither to the dagger, nor to the poisoned bowl, nor to the rope” (x)

He was sent to France to get loans and directly asked the king for money at a reception (where you were supposed to pay your respects to the king). He did get a ten million dollar loan though (x)

He was older than Burr. Think about that.

He spoke English, French, Latin, Spanish, and Greek

He kept on fighting even when shot in his right arm

Lee called for another round after neither of them was killed in the duel. Laurens agreed to it, but their seconds (Hamilton and Edwards) talked them out of it

When he got out of bed in Valley Forge, he would hit his head on the ceiling

Washington wrote this of Laurens after his death:

“In a word, he had not a fault that I ever could discover, unless intrepidity bordering upon rashness could come under that denomination; and to this he was excited by the purest motives.” 

Marquis de Lafayette:

He became an officer at age 13 and joined the army at 19

He didn’t want to be paid for his service in the army

He bought an entire ship to go to America

He was brought back to France, but then boarded a cargo ship disguised as a pregnant lady to try and go to America again. Not wanting the ship to stop, he bought all the cargo on it so it wouldn’t stop on the way to America

Once he, Hamilton, and Washington picnicked together beside a waterfall

He fell asleep with George Washington under a tree, using Washington’s coat as a blanket

He and Adrienne bought a plantation just to free the slaves

He was imprisoned during the French Revolution and Adrienne and his children joined him there

Adrienne died of lead poisoning, her last words to Lafayette being “I am all yours” (x)

Lafayette was offered dictatorship of France but turned it down

He gave John Quincy Adams an alligator because he didn’t know what to do with it

Hercules Mulligan:

Mulligan was the one to turn Hamilton from loyalist to patriot

He saved Washington’s life twice

One time a British soldier told him he was planning to capture Washington at his store so he warned Washington and he evaded capture (x)

There is a 17 year age gap between him and the youngest member of the revolutionary set, Lafayette 

Actually there’s not much about Mulligan

He was a pretty chill guy I guess

George Washington:

He started the French and Indian War by firing at a French force. It turned out that the French force was on a diplomatic mission, not a mission to attack him (x)

He then signed a document that said he took responsibility for the assassination of Jumonville (the leader of the French mission) because it was in French and he didn’t want people to know that he couldn’t read French. 

He died December 14, 1799, just before 1800 and missed the election of 1800. Whether that’s a blessing or a curse, I don’t know

He took Jefferson and Hamilton on a fishing trip once

There was a rumor that Hamilton was his illegitimate son

He had to borrow money to attend his own inauguration

The worst day of Martha Washington’s life was when Thomas Jefferson visited her (x)

Once, a dog was found on the battlefield which turned out to be General Howe’s. Washington returned the dog with a letter that was probably written by Hamilton

He also refused Howe’s letter when he didn’t address him properly (x)

Eliza Schuyler:

Literally everyone loved Eliza. She was known for her kindness

She and Martha Washington had a mother-daughter relationship

She was called “Betsey” by Hamilton

She was actually friends with Dolley Madison, even though their husbands were rivals

She had to deal with the loss of her son, Peggy, her mother, her father, her husband, and the mental breakdown of her daughter 

She thought that the government owed money to Hamilton so she waited for Madison to be president (who was more forgiving than Jefferson) and managed to get about ten thousand dollars

She helped Hamilton in his writing (including the Federalist Papers)

She wore a package around her neck that held pieces from a sonnet. When they started to crumble, she sewed the pieces back together

“I am so tired, it is long, I want to see Hamilton.” 

Angelica Schuyler:

Instead of growing jealous, she and Eliza actually grew closer over their love for Hamilton

She was married to John Church before meeting Hamilton

She eloped John Church because she was afraid her family wouldn’t approve of them

All of the letters between her and Hamilton speak very fondly of Eliza

She was also very close to Thomas Jefferson and she sent him…an urn??? (x)

Angelica was also friends with Lafayette, and helped him escape when he was imprisoned in France (needless to say, Lafayette got lost after he escaped and was recaptured)

Maria Cosway might have been gay for her?? You decide

“Now this will Come accompanied by One from the Most charming of woman, My Angelica, I love her so much that I think and am persuaded she must be beloved by every One who know her, therefore give value to every thing which Comes from her Or she Notices with her regard. I will think she has Some attachment for me and I value it much. My great fear is that soon I shall loos her” (x)

“You will soon have the pleasure of seeing the Charming Anjelica. I loose her with Much regret she is the woman I love Most, and feel Most happy with in this Country.” (x)

She and Hamilton actually did comma sext (x)

Peggy Schuyler:

Her real name was Margarita

She was very vain and sarcastic

Hamilton rambled about Eliza to her in letters (and the size of this one is way too long)

James McHenry commented that she needed to “please the men less and the ladies more” (x)

There’s one story where Native Americans and Tories broke into Philip Schuyler’s house and everyone ran upstairs but they forgot a baby, Catherine, downstairs. Peggy went to get her and was confronted by a Native American, who asked where Philip Schuyler was. Peggy said he went to warn the town, so the men fled, but one threw a tomahawk at her, which missed and hit a banister. The mark’s still there today.

Thomas Jefferson:

He told everyone how Hamilton manipulated Washington into siding with him when, in reality, Washington just liked Hamilton more

He and James Madion were very interested in biology and once they met up together at Monticello to watch an eclipse (x)

Jefferson also loved architecture (x)

He was very socially awkward 

He delivered his inauguration speech so quietly only a few could even hear it 

He had a headache after behaving awkwardly in front of a girl

There was a twelve year age difference between him and Hamilton

He broke his wrist jumping over a fence to impress a girl (probably Maria Cosway). He wrote a long love letter to her using just his left hand (x) 

He loved macaroni and cheese and helped popularize it in the us. He had a diagram for a macaroni machine

HE ORDERED 70 POUNDS OF MACARONI IN TWO MONTHS (x) 

Not many people shared his love for it though…”Dined at the President’s – … Dinner not as elegant as when we dined before. [Among other dishes] a pie called macaroni, which appeared to be a rich crust filled with the strillions of onions, or shallots, which I took it to be, tasted very strong, and not agreeable” (x)

He called Hamilton a “hypochondriac” when he had yellow fever 

He told Lewis and Clark to look out for giant sloths

James Madison:

Madison was 5′4 and Jefferson was 6′2

He was the first president to ask Congress to declare war

There was a “Madison Room” at Monticello because he visited there so often

During the war of 1812, when the British were going to burn down the White House, they stopped and ate his dinner beforehand (x)

Dolley Madison’s favorite ice cream flavor was oyster. I don’t know why that’s important, but it is.

Madison and Dolley were actually introduced to each other by Burr

There was an 8 year age gap between him and Jefferson (and a twelve year age gap between Jefferson and Hamilton)

Philip Hamilton:

He was the pride of the Hamilton family, with both good looks and intelligence. Hamilton had a daily schedule for him that included reading, writing, church attendance, and recreation

The duel was called when he and Richard Price taunted Eacker about a speech offending Hamilton in a theater. Eacker called them rascals, which was, at that time, was such an insult that it almost always came before a duel (I still dont understand that)

Hamilton first fainted when he learned his son was shot

Their eighth child was named Philip in memory of him

That sounds sweet, but Philip Schuyler wrote, “May the loss of one be compensated by another Philip”. Just…huh

Angelica Hamilton suffered a mental breakdown and would talk about Philip as though he were alive. Hamilton would do everything to help her and would send her parakeets because she liked birds

Philip is buried in Trinity Church along with his parents, but no one knows exactly where

Maria Reynolds:

She had a pamphlet written telling her side of the story, but it was never published

Her divorce lawyer was Aaron Burr

Maria was literate though mostly uneducated 

She apparently wrote a pamphlet telling her side of the story, but it was never published (x)

Aaron Burr: (or, more accurately, National Disaster Aaron Burr. Just read his journal.)

He tried to conquer Mexico and was arrested for treason (x)

He almost set himself on fire lighting a candle

“My umbrella hung heavy at my heart”

He had a knife hidden in his umbrella

“Have spent 14 shillings and 6 pence magnificently, i.e., like an ass”

He kept rolling off a bench on a ship trying to sleep

Referred to Hamilton as “My friend, Hamilton, whom I shot” 

His wife (not Theodosia) sued for a divorce which was granted when he died (x)

“Had I read Sterne more and Voltaire less, I should have known the world was wide enough for Hamilton and me" is an actual quote from him but it’s less sweet when you realize he’s alluding Hamilton to a fly

well that came out a lot longer than expect. I just want to note that I didn’t address a lot of issues on slavery since it’s kind of hard to find clear information on that and I don’t want to get any of that wrong (but i think it’s safe to say most of the characters did own slaves). Again, please be aware that I might have made mistakes!

Brady surprised fans when he arrived at Granite Telecommunications’s offices in Quincy for a buzz cut benefiting the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Ahead of the annual event, organizers of the Dana-Farber fundraiser teased that a “mystery guest” who’s a “famous sports figure” would be joining Gov.

Granite had pledged $5 million to Dana-Farber if 1,000 others agreed to shave their heads or beards. Brady, who only lets his stylist Pini Swissa usually touch his beloved hair, was more than willing to cut it all off! The 5-time Super Bowl Champion went live on Instagram, where he documented his buzz cut from start to finish, as excited supporters cheered in the background.

Remarks by the President on 250th Anniversary of the Birth of President Andrew Jackson

The Hermitage Nashville, Tennessee

4:44 P.M. CDT

THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you very much.  (Applause.)  Wow, what a nice visit this was.  Inspirational visit, I have to tell you. I’m a fan.  I’m a big fan.

I want to thank Howard Kettell, Francis Spradley of the Andrew Jackson Foundation, and all of the foundation’s incredible employees and supporters for preserving this great landmark, which is what it is -- it’s a landmark of our national heritage. 

And a special thank you to Governor Bill Haslam and his incredible wife, who -- we just rode over together -- and Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, two great friends of mine, been a big, big help.  Both incredible guys. 

In my address to Congress, I looked forward nine years, to the 250th anniversary of American Independence.  Today, I call attention to another anniversary: the 250th birthday of the very great Andrew Jackson.  (Applause.)  And he loved Tennessee, and so do I -- to tell you that.  (Applause.) 

On this day in 1767, Andrew Jackson was born on the backwoods soil of the Carolinas.  From poverty and obscurity, Jackson rose to glory and greatness -- first as a military leader, and then as the seventh President of the United States.  He did it with courage, with grit, and with patriotic heart.  And by the way, he was one of our great Presidents.  (Applause.) 

Jackson was the son of the frontier.  His father died before he was born.  His brother died fighting the British in the American Revolution.  And his mother caught a fatal illness while tending to the wounded troops.  At the age of 14, Andrew Jackson was an orphan, and look what he was able to do.  Look what he was able to build.

It was during the Revolution that Jackson first confronted and defied an arrogant elite.  Does that sound familiar to you?  (Laughter.)  I wonder why they keep talking about Trump and Jackson, Jackson and Trump.  Oh, I know the feeling, Andrew.  (Laughter.)

Captured by the Redcoats and ordered to shine the boots of a British officer, Jackson simply refused.  The officer took his saber and slashed at Jackson, leaving gashes in his head and hand that remained permanent scars for the rest of his life.  These were the first and far from the last blows that Andrew Jackson took for his country that he loved so much.

From that day on, Andrew Jackson rejected authority that looked down on the common people.  First as a boy, when he bravely served the Revolutionary cause.  Next, as the heroic victor at New Orleans where his ragtag -- and it was ragtag -- militia, but they were tough.  And they drove the British imperial forces from America in a triumphant end to the War of 1812.  He was a real general, that one.

And, finally, as President -- when he reclaimed the people’s government from an emerging aristocracy.  Jackson’s victory shook the establishment like an earthquake.  Henry Clay, Secretary of State for the defeated President John Quincy Adams, called Jackson’s victory “mortifying and sickening”.  Oh, boy, does this sound familiar.  (Laughter.)  Have we heard this?  (Laughter.)  This is terrible.  He said there had been “no greater calamity” in the nation’s history. 

The political class in Washington had good reason to fear Jackson’s great triumph.  “The rich and powerful,” Jackson said, “too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes.”  Jackson warned they had turned government into an “engine for the support of the few at the expense of the many.”

Andrew Jackson was the People’s President, and his election came at a time when the vote was finally being extended to those who did not own property.  To clean out the bureaucracy, Jackson removed 10 percent of the federal workforce.  He launched a campaign to sweep out government corruption.  Totally.  He didn't want government corruption.  He expanded benefits for veterans.  He battled the centralized financial power that brought influence at our citizens’ expense.  He imposed tariffs on foreign countries to protect American workers.  That sounds very familiar.  Wait till you see what’s going to be happening pretty soon, folks.  (Laughter.)  It’s time.  It’s time.  

Andrew Jackson was called many names, accused of many things, and by fighting for change, earned many, many enemies.  Today the portrait of this orphan son who rose to the presidency hangs proudly in the Oval Office, opposite the portrait of another great American, Thomas Jefferson.  I brought the Andrew Jackson portrait there.  (Applause.)  Right behind me, right -- boom, over my left shoulder.  

Now I’m honored to sit between those two portraits and to use this high office to serve, defend, and protect the citizens of the United States.  It is my great honor.  I will tell you that.

From that desk I can see out the wonderful, beautiful, large great window to an even greater magnolia tree, standing strong and tall across the White House lawn.  That tree was planted there many years ago, when it was just a sprout carried from these very grounds.  Came right from here.  (Applause.)  Beautiful tree.

That spout was nourished, it took root, and on this, his 250th birthday, Andrew Jackson’s magnolia is a sight to behold.  I looked at it actually this morning.  Really beautiful.  (Applause.)  

But the growth of that beautiful tree is nothing compared to growth of our beautiful nation.  That growth has been made possible because more and more of our people have been given their dignity as equals under law and equals in the eyes of God. 

Andrew Jackson as a military hero and genius and a beloved President.  But he was also a flawed and imperfect man, a product of his time.  It is the duty of each generation to carry on the fight for justice.  My administration will work night and day to ensure that the sacred rights which God has bestowed on His children are protected for each and every one of you, for each and every American.  (Applause.) 

We must all remember Jackson’s words:  that in “the planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer,” we will find muscle and bone of our country.  So true.  So true.  

Now, we must work in our time to expand -- and we have to do that because we have no choice.  We're going to make America great again, folks.  We're going to make America great again -- (applause) -- to expand the blessings of America to every citizen in our land.  And when we do, watch us grow.  Watch what’s happening.  You see it happening already.  You see it with our great military.  You see it with our great markets.  You see it with our incredible business people.  You see it with the level of enthusiasm that they haven’t seen in many years.  People are proud again of our country.  And you're going to get prouder and prouder and prouder, I can promise you that.  (Applause.) 

And watch us grow.  We will truly be one nation, with deep roots, a strong core, and a very new springtime of American greatness yet to come.

Andrew Jackson, we thank you for your service.  We honor you for your memory.  We build on your legacy.  And we thank God for the United States of America. 

Thank you very much, everybody.  (Applause.)

Remarks by the President on 250th Anniversary of the Birth of President Andrew Jackson

The Hermitage Nashville, Tennessee

4:44 P.M. CDT

THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you very much.  (Applause.)  Wow, what a nice visit this was.  Inspirational visit, I have to tell you. I’m a fan.  I’m a big fan.

I want to thank Howard Kettell, Francis Spradley of the Andrew Jackson Foundation, and all of the foundation’s incredible employees and supporters for preserving this great landmark, which is what it is -- it’s a landmark of our national heritage. 

And a special thank you to Governor Bill Haslam and his incredible wife, who -- we just rode over together -- and Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, two great friends of mine, been a big, big help.  Both incredible guys. 

In my address to Congress, I looked forward nine years, to the 250th anniversary of American Independence.  Today, I call attention to another anniversary: the 250th birthday of the very great Andrew Jackson.  (Applause.)  And he loved Tennessee, and so do I -- to tell you that.  (Applause.) 

On this day in 1767, Andrew Jackson was born on the backwoods soil of the Carolinas.  From poverty and obscurity, Jackson rose to glory and greatness -- first as a military leader, and then as the seventh President of the United States.  He did it with courage, with grit, and with patriotic heart.  And by the way, he was one of our great Presidents.  (Applause.) 

Jackson was the son of the frontier.  His father died before he was born.  His brother died fighting the British in the American Revolution.  And his mother caught a fatal illness while tending to the wounded troops.  At the age of 14, Andrew Jackson was an orphan, and look what he was able to do.  Look what he was able to build.

It was during the Revolution that Jackson first confronted and defied an arrogant elite.  Does that sound familiar to you?  (Laughter.)  I wonder why they keep talking about Trump and Jackson, Jackson and Trump.  Oh, I know the feeling, Andrew.  (Laughter.)

Captured by the Redcoats and ordered to shine the boots of a British officer, Jackson simply refused.  The officer took his saber and slashed at Jackson, leaving gashes in his head and hand that remained permanent scars for the rest of his life.  These were the first and far from the last blows that Andrew Jackson took for his country that he loved so much.

From that day on, Andrew Jackson rejected authority that looked down on the common people.  First as a boy, when he bravely served the Revolutionary cause.  Next, as the heroic victor at New Orleans where his ragtag -- and it was ragtag -- militia, but they were tough.  And they drove the British imperial forces from America in a triumphant end to the War of 1812.  He was a real general, that one.

And, finally, as President -- when he reclaimed the people’s government from an emerging aristocracy.  Jackson’s victory shook the establishment like an earthquake.  Henry Clay, Secretary of State for the defeated President John Quincy Adams, called Jackson’s victory “mortifying and sickening”.  Oh, boy, does this sound familiar.  (Laughter.)  Have we heard this?  (Laughter.)  This is terrible.  He said there had been “no greater calamity” in the nation’s history. 

The political class in Washington had good reason to fear Jackson’s great triumph.  “The rich and powerful,” Jackson said, “too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes.”  Jackson warned they had turned government into an “engine for the support of the few at the expense of the many.”

Andrew Jackson was the People’s President, and his election came at a time when the vote was finally being extended to those who did not own property.  To clean out the bureaucracy, Jackson removed 10 percent of the federal workforce.  He launched a campaign to sweep out government corruption.  Totally.  He didn't want government corruption.  He expanded benefits for veterans.  He battled the centralized financial power that brought influence at our citizens’ expense.  He imposed tariffs on foreign countries to protect American workers.  That sounds very familiar.  Wait till you see what’s going to be happening pretty soon, folks.  (Laughter.)  It’s time.  It’s time.  

Andrew Jackson was called many names, accused of many things, and by fighting for change, earned many, many enemies.  Today the portrait of this orphan son who rose to the presidency hangs proudly in the Oval Office, opposite the portrait of another great American, Thomas Jefferson.  I brought the Andrew Jackson portrait there.  (Applause.)  Right behind me, right -- boom, over my left shoulder.  

Now I’m honored to sit between those two portraits and to use this high office to serve, defend, and protect the citizens of the United States.  It is my great honor.  I will tell you that.

From that desk I can see out the wonderful, beautiful, large great window to an even greater magnolia tree, standing strong and tall across the White House lawn.  That tree was planted there many years ago, when it was just a sprout carried from these very grounds.  Came right from here.  (Applause.)  Beautiful tree.

That spout was nourished, it took root, and on this, his 250th birthday, Andrew Jackson’s magnolia is a sight to behold.  I looked at it actually this morning.  Really beautiful.  (Applause.)  

But the growth of that beautiful tree is nothing compared to growth of our beautiful nation.  That growth has been made possible because more and more of our people have been given their dignity as equals under law and equals in the eyes of God. 

Andrew Jackson as a military hero and genius and a beloved President.  But he was also a flawed and imperfect man, a product of his time.  It is the duty of each generation to carry on the fight for justice.  My administration will work night and day to ensure that the sacred rights which God has bestowed on His children are protected for each and every one of you, for each and every American.  (Applause.)

Watch the legendary QB get a buzz cut to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute! You may not recognize Tom Brady, 40, these days because the Patriots QB buzzed his long hair on March 8 — All for a great cause! Brady surprised fans when he arrived at Granite Telecommunications’s offices in Quincy for a buzz cut benefiting the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Ahead of the annual event, organizers of the Dana-Farber fundraiser teased that a “mystery guest” who’s a “famous sports figure” would be joining Gov. Charlie Baker and others in the barber’s chair, as reported by The Boston Globe. However, no one knew who would walk through the door, that is, until Tom Brady walked in! Granite had pledged $5 million to Dana-Farber if 1,000 others agreed to shave their heads or beards. Brady, who only lets his stylist Pini Swissa usually touch his beloved hair, was more than willing to cut it all off! The 5-time Super Bowl Champion went live on Instagram, where he documented his buzz cut from start to finish, as excited supporters cheered in the background. Others who took the barber’s chair for a buzz included: Quincy mayor Thomas Koch, secretary Matthew Beaton, administrator Brian Shortsleeve, Red Sox president Sam Kennedy, WAAF’s Greg Hill, WGBH’s Jim Braude, Granite CEO Rob Hale, and state representatives Tim Whelan (Barnstable), Paul Tucker (Essex), Michael Day (Middlesex), Joe McGonagle (Middlesex) and David Muradian (Worcester), and more. Granite revealed it has raised $14.7 million since 2014 for Dana-Farber through the annual Saving by Shaving event. Brady’s new haircut came after he posted a photo of all the women in his life for International Women’s Day [March 8]. “I am so lucky and blessed to have the love and support of these incredible women! Happy International Women’s Day!” he wrote next to a group photo of his family and friends — including wife Gisele Bundchen, his mother Galynn, and daughter Vivian — on Super Bowl 52 day, February 4, 2018.
