Paul Revere dies
On this day in history, May 10, 1818, Paul Revere dies. Renowned for his famous midnight ride, Paul Revere’s life was much more than a single patriotic event. Revere was the son of a French immigrant father and native Boston mother. Revere’s father, Apollos, was a silversmith and goldsmith, an occupation in which Paul followed his father’s footsteps. Paul would also work in dentistry, engraving and the manufacture of iron, brass and copper items.
School children are taught the story of Paul Revere’s ride to warn the patriots at Lexington and Concord that the British were coming, but Revere was also in the center of nearly everything that happened in Massachusetts during the American Revolution. Of the seven leading groups of patriots in Boston who were leaders and organizers of the rebellion against England, Revere was a member of 5. No one was a member of all 7, or even of 6 of these groups. Only Paul Revere and Dr. Joseph Warren were members of 5.
Revere was the creator of the “Sons of Liberty Bowl,” a silver bowl created to honor the refusal of the 92 members of the Massachusetts House of Representatives who refused to rescind a letter denouncing the Townshend Acts. This item has been called one of the three greatest American treasures, along with the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Revere also made the famous Boston Massacre engraving that was reproduced across the colonies. The engraving is inaccurate in many respects, showing the propagandized version of the event which the patriots wished to disseminate.
Revere was called on numerous times to deliver messages, not just on the night of April 18, 1775. In fact, there are 18 such documented rides to places such as Philadelphia and New York. Revere organized a group of spies in Boston called the Mechanics that observed and reported on British activities in the city. He built a gunpowder plant to help the Revolution and was employed by the Continental Congress and the State of Massachusetts to engrave and print millions in currency.
Revere was a Major in the Massachusetts militia and served as lieutenant colonel of artillery at Fort Independence in Boston Harbor for a time. Later he became the commander of the fort. He participated in the attempt to recapture Newport, Rhode Island from the British and was part of the disastrous Penobscot Expedition, which was the largest American naval defeat until Pearl Harbor.
After the war, Revere became a major industrialist and manufacturer. He created the first copper foundry in the United States, which still exists today. He also became America’s chief manufacturer of brass church bells, some of which also exist today. Revere created iron bolts, cannons and fittings for American naval ships, such as the USS Constitution. He also provided the copper sheeting for the original dome on the Massachusetts State House and for the boilers in Robert Fulton’s first steamboat.
Paul Revere died on May 10, 1818 and was buried in Boston’s Old Granary Burial Ground, along with the victims of the Boston Massacre, James Otis and 3 signers of the Declaration of Independence, Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Robert Treat Paine. Many notable landmarks related to Paul Revere still stand today, most notably the home he lived in at the time of the Revolution. It is the oldest structure standing in downtown Boston.

When Eric Holder defies Congress: no problem.
When Peter Navarro defies Congress: jail.
When Hunter Biden defies Congress: no problem.
When Steve Bannon defies Congress: jail.
See how this works?

Racism in America was almost dead. Then Barack Hussein Obama showed up and set it back 100 years.
when Biden said cutting off military aid to Israel “is absolutely preposterous and beyond his comprehension that anyone would do that”

I am taking post 666.
Bible in a Year :
All you need to say is simply “Yes” or “No”; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
King Saul also had trouble staying the course. In one account, he rightly “expelled the mediums and spiritists from [Israel]” (1 Samuel 28:3). Good move, for God had declared that dabbling in the occult was “detestable” (Deuteronomy 18:9-12). But when God didn’t answer the king’s plea—due to his prior failures—for how to deal with a massive Philistine army, Saul caved: “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her” (1 Samuel 28:7). Talk about a complete reversal! Saul failed once more as he went against his own decree—what he knew was right.
A millennium later, Jesus said to His disciples, “All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one” (Matthew 5:37). In other words, if we’ve committed ourselves to obeying Christ, it’s vital that we keep our oaths and be truthful. Let’s stay the course in doing those things as God helps us.
Reflect & Pray
What helps you keep your oaths? Why is it vital that you stay the course in being truthful?
Dear Jesus, please help me stay the course in following Your ways.
Does that mean you ran off with the bail money, you little devil exit?
good job, otherwise it would be on the daily bread!
I do not know if this has ever been posted.
A good second listen then.

These are great, Norsky!
Thanks so much!
Wouldn't that cause some sort of metaphysical short circuit?
I wonder how many of those kits did not get built. Not a simple thing building a house, DYI to the max!
Lordy...
Nearly 50 years ago, I had a part-time job at sears.
As a new hire I had to sit and watch/listen to a
film from an 8mm movie projector about the history
of the company...so as the legend and my memory goes:
Mr. Sears was a conductor on the railroad from Chicago
to points out west.
People along the way admired his pocket watch and they
inquired how they can get one like that. Mr. sears offered
to bring one out from Chicago on his next trip, and he
eventually sold many watches along the way.
When one of the watches failed, he offered his apologies,
and offered to take it back to Chicago for repair.
(this is where the satisfaction or your money back
guarantee originated)
The watch repairman was named Mr. Roebuck,
and he became a partner.
Then people began to ask what other marvelous things
they might could get in Chicago.
Mr. Sears created a list of items people might like to buy,
and that is what started the Sears Catalog.
