July, 1970:

That Sunday evening, and for a few hours the following Monday, the Royal Family rode horses around the property, talked farming, sat back in the aluminum chairs and chatted like they were neighbours, Bailey said.

Well, except that they weren't.

Let them be happy with their monarchy of choice, one in the model rest of the nations, but here in America...

The Founders transmuted lead into gold by making the common man a king, one more valuable and productive than one lone figurehead at the top.

We the People -- the miracle strong Constitution -- is the magnum opus of creating a king on every corner -- turning the rules of market forces valuation (based on rarity) completely on its head. It all started brewing in the public house, the pub named the Green Dragon Tavern. The Green Dragon aka the Green Lion [swallowing the sun] is a key symbol in alchemy, representing gold being dissolved by the Aqua Regia.

A king... who is a regular guy, say with his Gilbert Home Chemistry Lab, in the mold of cherub-cheeked farmer George Washington who returned to his sheep. He loved his sheep.


Portrait based on the unfinished Athenaeum Portrait
by Gilbert Stuart, 1796:

The 70th Jubilee is a good time to mention that "Father of the Nation" [אבי האומה] = 70.

A key point for bring up the Hebrew phrase is that on the English Wikipedia page, the lone representative image is of

"Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation of India"

but on the Hebrew page, George Washington gets top honors.

Just thought I'd point it out, as long as the subject is the monarchy and 70.

***

In America on that particular royal visitation in 1970,

WASHINGTON, July 16 — Prince Charles and Princess Anne began an informal but strenuous two‐day visit here this afternoon with a red‐car pet reception at the White House, a steak and beans supper at Camp David and a quick tour of Washington's lighted monuments this evening.

President Nixon told the 21‐ year‐old Prince of Wales and his 19‐year‐old sister that “I want you to feel very much at home,” and said he would do his part by trying to stay out of sight.

The royal visitors' real hosts are the President's daughters, Tricia and Julie, and Julie's husband, David Eisenhower, who together have planned a round of games, sightseeing and parties at which people over 30 will be seen rarely, if at all.

Arrived by Helicopter...

Charles and Anne Begin Informal Visit to Capital

God Bless America

It's all in there, the lead and the gold, right from the beginning with A Republic, if you can keep it [a secret]:

A rePublic

noun

relic

an object surviving from an earlier time, especially one of historical or sentimental interest.

a part of a deceased holy person's body or belongings kept as an object of reverence.

an object, custom, or belief that has survived from an earlier time but is now outmoded.

King David [דוד]: a regular dude [דוד], the man after God's own heart who would fulfill all of His will.

Can-DO!

Today (Shavuot, the day of the giving of the Law) is the traditional date for the birth and death of King David. On that Hebrew date in 1844, the word was given, at the speed of light. Famous:

What Hath God Wrought.

Will be checking the nest later today. Four baby Phoebes ("bright, radiant") are due to hatch right at the front door. I'll just keep things simple and name them all "David". 😎

Today's adventures in science will create tomorrow's America!

The Spirit of the Nation has been telegraphing for 150 years, "Get a rope."

I’m not quite getting it, but I really like the painting “American Progress”.

The Royal Family is a turd in the punch-bowl of Western civilization.

They have been part of the problem instead of part of the solution for decades.

I have great neighbors—don’t push “climate change”, don’t consort with Jeffrey Epstein, didn’t buddy up to Adolph during WWII, don’t engage in sexual perversion.

I don’t ask much.

:-)

Collect 'em all!

Speaking of which,

Today, two baby Davids have arrived so far! I'm so proud of Mrs. Phoebe.
