The new leader of the Democrat party slams President Trump as the “worst president ever.” I suppose he lived through all of them.
The fake news continues to stream as if it is real. Emotions seem to have taken over from real reporting. This isn’t news at all. George Washington seems to be the only President that didn’t get hit too much by the press, although even he had some tough reports. Here’s a report that might interest you:
Headline “Bogus President.” Story: “After the hotly contested 1876 election, the Washington Post insisted that the Democratic nominee, Samuel J. Tilden, was the winner. A congressional committee determined that the new president was Republican Rutherford B. Hayes, but the Post refused to accept the verdict. For the next four years the newspaper churlishly referred to President Hayes as “the Bogus President,” “the acting President,” and “his fraudulency.”
When someone says that America isn’t a Christian nation, I understand. It’s just that I believe they don’t know history. American principles are based on the Christian religion and on the Bible. No, that’s just history.
Benjamin Franklin was greeted with a hero’s welcome when he arrived back in America in 1785. He had been in Paris, France, under the direction of Congress to finally achieve a Treaty, The Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. In that achievement he was assisted by Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and John Jay. They were successful, and the Treaty was heavily in favor of the United States.
But this much I can tell you, it’s clear to me who the favorite Founding Father is in the hearts of my listeners. It’s obviously Benjamin Franklin. My lectures about Ben are the most popular, bring the highest attendance, and produce the most questions and comments. And I do love Benjamin Franklin.
At the same time, George was introduced forcefully into the world of decent behavior when he was in company with other children and adults. He learned manners, customs, and behaviors that would be acceptable when in company. He learned to behave and converse with ease. It affected his character.
Happy Birthday Abraham Lincoln
