Posted by: thepinetree on 04/19/2024 01:07 PM
New York NY...A man named Max Azzarello set himself on fire outside the New York City courthouse where former President Donald Trump's trial is taking place, distributing pamphlets titled 'The True History of the World' and leaving behind a manifesto warning of an 'apocalyptic fascist world coup'. The incident, which occurred during the ongoing trial, has sparked widespread shock and concern on social media, with many users expressing disbelief and concern over Azzarello's condition. The motive behind the self-immolation remains unclear, and the event has ignited discussions about mental health awareness and the need for better support systems in society.

Mornings with the One Percent™ Our Weekend Preview Show is Below!

Posted by: thepinetree on 04/19/2024 09:39 AM
Arnold, CA…Mornings with the One Percent™ is live weekday mornings. The premise for the show is that the USDA ranked all 3,142 counties or county equivalents in the USA on a livability or desirability scale based on factors such as climate, scenic beauty, bodies of water for recreation, humidity and much more. All of our area ranked not only in the top one percent but in the top one half of one percent. So in the ups and downs of daily life remember you don’t have to be a Gates, Buffett or Bezos to live like the one percent. Just live here!

A Bit of Wisdom from the 1737 Poor Richard's Almanac

Posted by: thepinetree on 04/18/2024 09:05 AM
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 1737...



At the working man's house hunger looks in but dares not enter.
A Penny sav'd is Twopence clear, A pin a day is a Groat a Year. Save & have. Every little makes a mickle.
The greatest monarch on the proudest throne, is oblig'd to sit upon his own arse.
The Master piece of Man, is to live to the purpose.
He that steals the old man's supper, do's him no wrong.
A countryman between 2 Lawyers, is like a fish between two cats.
He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.
The miser's cheese is the wholesomest.
Love & lordship hate companions.
The nearest way to come at glory, is to do that for conscience which we do for glory.
He that can compose himself, is wiser than he that composes books.
Poor Dick, eats like a well man, and drinks like a sick.
After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser.
Love, Cough, & a Smoke, can't be well hid.
Well done is better than well said.
No better relation than a prudent & faithful Friend.
The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise.
