A Bit of Wisdom from the 1733 Poor Richard’s Almanac

Philadelphia, PA…Our Favorite Founding Father is Ben Franklin. He didn’t just help found our country during the 1776 era.   For two generations before he helped sell concepts of Freedom, Self-Determination & Inalienable rights. From 1733 to 1758 Poor Richards Almanac helped create the unique American identity in a homey, common sense, aspirational way. A few Bits of Wisdom from 1733…

1733
Light purse, heavy heart.
He’s a Fool that makes his Doctor his Heir.
Hunger never saw bad bread.
Great Talkers, little Doers.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat ’em.
The poor have little, beggars none, the rich too much, enough not one.
Eat to live, and not live to eat.
The proof of gold is fire, the proof of woman, gold; the proof of man, a woman.
He that lies down with Dogs, shall rise up with fleas.
Distrust & caution are the parents of security.
He is ill cloth’d, who is bare of Virtue.
Nothing more like a Fool, than a drunken Man.
Innocence is its own Defence.

    The women’s USA hockey team declined a McD banquet at the Wh for their Gold medal win, after a men’s winning locker room comment in a call from the narcissistic misogynist ill child disrespected the women’;;s gold win also.

    For this, the ill child denied $22 million of aid to the USA women’s Olympic team. He also warned sponsors, Coca Cola, and others not to sponsor the team.

    This is but another example of the mental illness of this child living in the WH.

      Well of course they did, Biden isn’t the POTUS, thank “God” said all First Responders, our Military personnel, and the Majority of Americans who voted him out and went with the Greatest President since Abraham Lincoln, when he told democrats they could not own another human being as their slaves.

    maga don now threatening the mid term elections.
    So many indications of a coup against a Constitution based justice for all election.

    This how dictators take over countries.

    Only the SCOTUS , Republicans can stop this, but they are bribed slaves of the billionaires.

    Watch America go down the drain in real time, we’re living it.

    By ROSS IBBETSON, ASSOCIATE EDITOR and PHILLIP NIETO, US POLITICAL REPORTER and VICTORIA CHURCHILL, US POLITICAL REPORTER

    Bill Clinton has allegedly defended Donald Trump during his deposition over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

    Republican Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, claimed during a break in Clinton’s testimony Friday that the former president had absolved Trump.

    ‘Trump has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved,’ Clinton told lawmakers, according to Comer.
    And get this “Trump rebuked his Republican allies for dragging Clinton to testify, telling reporters outside the White House: ‘I like him.’

    ‘I don’t like seeing him deposed, but they certainly went after me,’ Trump added as Clinton became the first former president ever compelled to testify before Congress against his will.”
