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 Richard’s Almanac helped create the unique American identity in a homey, common sense, aspirational way. A few Bits of Wisdom from 1745…
1745
Beware of little Expenses, a small Leak will sink a great Ship.
A light purse is a heavy Curse.
Help, Hands; for I have no Lands.
It’s common for Men to give pretended Reasons instead of one real one.
Vanity backbites more than Malice.
He’s a Fool that cannot conceals Wisdom.
Great spenders are bad lenders.
You may talk too much on the best of subjects.
No gains without pains.
There are no fools so troublesome as those that have wit.
Many complain of their Memory, few of their Judgment.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
Light heel’d mothers make leaden-heel’d daughters.
‘Tis easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.
Every Man has Assurance enough to boast of his honesty, few of their Understanding.
An ounce of wit that is bought, Is worth a pound that is taught.
He that resolves to mend hereafter, resolves not to mend now.

All US diesel fuel is refined in the US. Mainly in Texas, Ok.
The US still is exporting crude, and diesel fuel, gasoline, kerosene.
With the US with so much crude oil, why should the US pay world prices for fuel?
Con don took so much $ from the oil cos, that’s why.
Diesel fuel now is being rationed, because of a contrived shortage.
Don’t think this will be seriously investigated.
This contrived shortage is affecting farmers as diesel fuel drops on farms are now rationed during the grain harvest.
All this is another indication of the corruption between maga Republicans and big oil.
Californians pay roughly $200 more per gallon than the rest of the US by choice of the government. A bit of Groking the Californians on average purchase 300 gallons per capita for the entire state. Rural Californians average 750 gallons per year because they are rural. So the average rural Californian pays roughly $1,000 more every year than other Californians by choice from Sacramento. Even more striking is that they have to pay $1,500 more every year than those in other states. This is purely because Sacramento is punishing rural Californians partly because they tend to be conservative. Face it, Sacramento hates us!!
Sure, hunter biden is corrupted, but did you see this?
