A Bit of Wisdom from the 1741 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 1740...


1741
Learn of the skilful: He that teaches himself, hath a fool for his master.
Best is the Tongue that feels the rein:– He that talks much, must talk in vain;
We from the wordy torrent fly: Who listens to the chattering Pye?
Anger and Folly walk cheek by jole; Repentance treads on both their Heels.
Be always asham'd to catch thy self idle.
Lying rides upon Debt’s back.
They who have nothing to be troubled at, will be troubled at nothing.
If evils come not, then our fears are vain: And if they do, Fear but augments the pain.
If you would keep your Secret from an enemy, tell it not to a friend.
Up, Sluggard, and waste not life; in the grave will be sleeping enough.
There are no fools so troublesome as those that have wit.
Quarrels never could last long, If on one side only lay the wrong.
Let no Pleasure tempt thee, no Profit allure thee, no Ambition corrupt thee, no Example sway thee, no Persuasion move thee, to do any thing which thou knowest to be Evil; So shalt thou always jollily: for a good Conscience is a continual Christmas. Adieu.

The biggest take away from todays news: The Ho loves to use the “F” word when in staff meetings, or off the “Mike”, seems reasonable I guess, but it leaves a bit of a stench in my mouth, thinking the libtard canidate can’t or won’t use other words when addressing her staff! Sounds like a Lo life to me!

    I guess you really haven't followed your demigod much.
    Trump has been known to use the F word continuously during his daily staff meetings.
    Don't tell me cursing is only acceptable for old white men?
    Cussing? That's the standard you're going to hold Kamala to?
    Lying. Cheating on spouses. Hiring prostitutes. Not paying his bills, and taxes. Grabbing em by the pussy.
    And you hold up using the F word. Hahahaha....

      Yeah, sure.
      It's ok to rape women if you're a married white male with children.
      Just don't use the F word.

    Trump today, again, was an unmitigated disaster. Watch him speak to the NABJ Conference. Oh my god, his sexism, racism, obvious disdain for strong women was there for all to see.
    Just roll the tape, don't doctor anything.
    Anyone that votes for, endorses him is a complete racist, sexist idiot.

      But he showed up didn't he? He made his case for an obviously hostile audience. He actually believes in market economies and you have to sell your ideas and yourself.

      Did Kamala show up? Has she ever made a sale in a market economy? No and she is incapable of doing so.

      A resume of Govt jobs gives you Zero experience in running the largest economy in the world.

      She has never created a job or had a job that wasn't basically theft of taxpayer funds.

        The president doesn’t run the economy.

        She will run the executive branch, which she is incredibly qualified for due to her many years of public service.

So what is she? Asian/American, Jamaican/American, 1/10 Sioux, 3/4 crack pot, whatever, this woman should be held accountable for supporting Joies fantasy land, his obvious mental decline and so on, who is running this country, everything the libtards have touched has turned to a disaster, Joie hasn’t claimed he’s a minority, but what does it matter, we need a competent person leading our nation, we have gone from bad to worse in just a few yrs!
