Everyone knows about Paul Revere’s midnight ride, but this patriot did a lot more to help America gain its independence. Here are 11 little-known facts about the Founding Father.
His father was a Huguenot.
Revere’s father, Apollos Rivoire, was a French Huguenot refugee who fled his country as a result of religious persecution. He was born in Riocaud in 1702, but with time he lost most of his connection to France—he could not read or write the language. The Frenchman later changed his name to Paul Revere, “on account that the Bumpkins pronounce it easier.” He married Deborah Hitchbourn, a member of a very old Boston family, and passed the anglicized name, Paul, to his eldest son.
As a teen, Revere worked as a church bell ringer.
When he was around fifteen, Revere would ring the bells at the Eight Bell Church near his home. The young patriot and his friends set up a bell ringers’ association. They drafted a document that detailed the rules and guidelines for membership. Members could only be allowed into the group through a unanimous vote, members could not beg for money, and a moderator was chosen every three months to delegate work and changes within the group. The simple document focused on the fundamentals of public duty, majority vote, and community.
Revere made some interesting items in silver.
Revere’s father came to Boston as an apprentice smith. He worked for a man named John Coney for several years and purchased his freedom for forty pounds. After Revere was born, he apprenticed under his father and learned how to craft things from gold and silver. Some items include a chain for a pet squirrel, an ostrich egg snuffbox, and sword hilts. You can tell an item is made by Revere by his maker’s mark—either his last name in a rectangle, or his initials in cursive.

The silversmith was also a dentist.
When dental surgeon John Baker moved to town, Revere happily studied under him. He learned how to create false teeth out of ivory and insert them using wire. Revere became so confident in his abilities that in 1768, he placed an ad declaring he “can fix [teeth] as well as any surgeon dentist who ever came from London, he fixes them in such a manner that they are not only an ornament but of real use in speaking and eating.”

He made a lot of money. Literally.
During wartime, Revere used his smithing skills to engrave printing plates to print money in Massachusetts. He was also commissioned to design the Continental currency, money used to pay the rebel army. The new bills strangely ranged from one-sixth of a dollar to 80 dollars.
During the war, Revere accidentally engaged in some super early forensics.
After Dr. Joseph Warren was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775, he was buried like others in an unmarked grave. Ten months later, the bodies were exhumed and examined. Revere was Warren’s dentist, and recognized him by his teeth: Revere had given Warren a false tooth fastened with wire. This was the first body identification done by teeth in recorded history.

He had a large family.
Revere had two wives, Sarah Orne and Rachel Walker, and he had eight children with each of them. Revere was a doting father who referred to his kids as his “little lambs.” Ten of Revere’s children perished at a young age, but he still managed to acquire 52 grandchildren.
Revere was unfailingly polite and dapper.
The patriot even dressed well on his famous midnight ride. Impressed by his garb, his captors saluted him as one of equal rank (before threatening to shoot him in the head). Even with a gun in hand, the redcoat politely asked, “May I crave your name, sir?”
He was not drunk on his midnight ride.
This urban legend took hold when the media was eager to discredit the Founding Fathers during the tumultuous era surrounding the Vietnam War. One Boston newspaper ran a story in 1968 claiming that Revere drank some rum early into his midnight ride. Revere’s drunken yelling apparently roused the patriots accidentally. While Captain Hall, a patriot stationed in Medford, did own a distillery, there is no evidence suggesting that Revere’s booze-fueled yelling truly occurred. Regardless, the unfounded accusations caught on and are often still suggested as truth.
He wasn’t the only one to go on a midnight ride.
Paul Revere and William Dawes originally planned to carry news of the invasion to Concord, where military supplies were stored, and then warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams, who had been targeted for capture. On the trip there, the duo would ride through Somerville, Medford, and Arlington, warning patriots as they passed through. They ran into Samuel Prescott (who was just leaving a lady friend’s house at one in the morning) in Lexington, and asked him to come along.
Revere was captured about halfway through the ride, but the others managed to escape and keep going. Revere had his horse confiscated but still managed to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams. The true hero was Prescott, who actually went through with the plan and reached Concord.
So why were the more successful criers left out of the story? One very popular—but incorrect—poem is to blame. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride” starts with this very familiar stanza:
Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year.

This poem is filled with intentional inaccuracies. Longfellow did his research, but took many liberties in order to properly convey his message. The poet wanted to create a folk hero by painting a lone man as the midnight rider. In order to do such, he removed the extra players.
We’ve all been misquoting him.
Paul Revere and his fellow patriots never shouted, “The British are coming!” That wouldn’t have made sense, since most colonists were British. The actual warning was “the Regulars are coming out.” This misconception is another result of Longfellow’s creative license—he found the real sentence to be too wordy for his poem.

Thanks for the great post, Miss Pat! Love the stories of our Founding Fathers and their courage and total commitment to liberty.
Revere had many talents and enterprises. I didn’t know he made the plates for America’s first money!
My daughters and I still cook with Revere Ware, named for Paul Revere and have a pewter tea set made in Williamsburg after his simple elegant design.
Patrick Henry was another founding father, I admire. He was an idealist and the first Governor of Virginia – https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/patrick-henry
When our elementary school class was shown a movie about Patrick Henry, I cried when he said, “Give me liberty or give me death.” – “quotation attributed to American politician and orator Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, at St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia.” – Wikipedia
Back then, we were reared to be honest, hard-working and patriotic – in our homes, schools and churches – with weekly school gatherings in the auditorium, we saluted the flag, sang patriotic songs, The National Anthem, My Country Tis of Thee, America the Beautiful, etc. had prayer and preachers gave inspirational speeches or we watched movies like the one about Patrick Henry.

“Democrats have politicized this hearing mentioning Donald Trump 38 times. That number for Republicans is zero,” Stefanik said. “We are focused on victims and making sure we support law and order in this country.”
Instead of speaking about solutions to the city’s soaring crime, Democrats attacked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) for conducting oversight on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s lack of criminal prosecutions.

“Climate Change Scandal in Australia Heating Up”
BY CHRIS MORRISON 17 APRIL 2023 7:00 AM
EXCERPT: “Electronic temperatures devices have been in general use in Australia since 1995. The guidance of the World Meteorological Organisation suggests averaging temperatures over a minute to remove corruptions caused by temporary effects such as a sudden gust of hot air. But the BoM records highs for just a second, something that basic mercury thermometers cannot do. For years, the BoM has refused to release comparative instrument data.
The Australian journalist Jo Nova takes a sceptical view as to why the BoM has been so stubborn. Potentially, the electronic sensors “offer a bonanza of propaganda headlines for the Green Blob to pick from, especially when ‘coldest ever days’ get ignored by the media”. The sensors are offering many more headlines of records for heat, heatwaves, hottest nights, more days over 35°C, she continued, adding, “there are many cherries to be picked here”.
The use of highly sensitive measuring equipment to produce temperature records and hence whip up climate emergency fears is common throughout the world. Last year In the U.K., the Met Office promoted a ‘record’ high of 40.3°C halfway down the runway at RAF Coningsby on the afternoon of July 19th. Admittedly, the record was declared to have stood for longer than a second – 60 seconds to be precise. To this day, the Met Office has refused to answer a number of Daily Sceptic enquiries about possible non-climatic causes of this widely promoted record. In the light of the Australian disclosures, we wonder if the Met Office should re-examine the way it declares heat records and compare the results of its measuring devices with those produced by basic mercury thermometers.”

“Don’t eat anything with the “Apeel” sticker on it. It just appeared in our grocery stores saw it for the first time today. The cucumbers not wraped in plastic but there’s a big sign says coated in Apeel to protect freshness and reduced plastic waste. The cucumbers also have a sticker on them with the word Apeel. I checked the company out its funded by Bill Gates and others and the WEF indorses it. And i checked there website out you can’t find any info about what exactly is apeel. Look at the frequently asked questions. They even tell you there don’t buy it if your worried. In Canada so far it’s just on cucumbers and maybe apples. In the US it’s avocados, apples and I think limes and lemons maybe cucumbers too. The company is very mysterious about what the product actually is. And it can’t be washed off no mater how much scrubbing it even says this on the website in the FAQ. Supposedly it can make produce last up to 3 times longer. Also suddenly the price of cucumbers dropped today to just over $3 for 3 cucumbers in a pack or $1.27 a cucumber they really want people to buy these cucumbers.”
Safety data sheet says :
APEEL Hazard statements H318 Causes serious eye damage. H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction. H412 Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Precautionary statements P280 Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing/ eye protection/ face protection. P302+P352 IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water.

I DON’T KNOW HOW I’LL EVER BELIEVE IN VOTING AGAIN AFTER ALL THAT’S HAPPENED.
First, we “elected” a dementia patient who’s done nothing but uncontested harm since day one.
Then here in LA, we failed to remove a liberal Soros DA EVEN THOUGH WE HAD THE NECESSARY SIGNATURES.
Then Kari Lake lost the Arizona governor’s seat to a democrat in an all-red state.
And now Chicago has voted out the worst mayor they ever had, but replaced her with the male version of her.
HOW CAN I EVER BELIEVE THAT THESE THINGS ARE BEING VOTED FOR when they defy all logic?
Folks, I’m a patriot through and through but I can no longer just sit back and act like everything is fine here.
I BELIEVE THE DEMOCRATS CHEATED IN 2020, AND NOTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEN HAS CHANGED MY MIND!
And if we don’t fix what Democrats broke in 2020, how can next year’s presidential election ever be anything but 2020 part 2?
IF WE DONT REPAIR OUR SYSTEM OF VOTING, TRUMP 2016 MAY BE THE VERY LAST REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT AMERICA WILL EVER HAVE!
Because face it, Democrats aren’t giving anything up. Since Biden took office the Democrats have implemented a very specific agenda – an agenda they could only accomplish with a senile lunatic out in front to push everything through.
Because none of it makes any sense:
Sex changes for children as young as 5 years old.
Men competing against women in sports.
Sexualized Drag shows for young children.
Supporting crime if the criminals are black.
Continuing to give money to Zelensky for a war we get nothing out of.
NO WAY WOULD ANY OF THIS BE HAPPENING UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP OR ANY LEGITIMATE PRESIDENT!!!
So for this and many other reasons I will never believe that Joe Biden is the legitimate president, BECAUSE HE DOESN’T ACT LIKE ONE.
Democrats HAD TO CHEAT to make their radical left agenda a reality.
THEY HAD TO CHEAT to keep Gascon, a soft-on-crime Soros DA who everyone wanted out, on the job.
THEY HAD TO CHEAT to put Katie Hobbs into the Arizona governor’s seat, when all the voting says she lost.
And THEY HAD TO CHEAT to make sure Chicago keeps the same lax-on-crime representation it had BEFORE the election.
NOTHING ELSE MAKES ANY SENSE.
And no, I’m not an insurrectionist. I’m a patriot.
A patriot who knows that his country is being demolished by the party in charge, and who wants to see the opposition party FIGHT BACK and end this charade.
God Bless America 🇺🇸

“Leaked Document Shows American Smart Bombs Are Failing In Ukraine”
BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, APR 18, 2023 – 04:44 AM
EXCERPT: “American-made smart bombs are failing in Ukraine, based on successful Russian electronic jamming measures, according to a Pentagon document connected to alleged leaker Jack Teixeira. The highly-classified document not only reviews use of effective Russian countermeasures to make the smart bombs ineffective, but also says that in some cases technical problems are resulting in failure to detonate.

A Biden administration defense aid program has involved sending the Joint Direct Attack Munition-Extended Range (JDAM-ER) to Ukraine in order to turn unguided bombs into GPS guided “smart bombs” capable of hitting targets over 50 miles away.
According to Politico: “A larger problem is that Russia is using GPS jamming to interfere with the weapons’ targeting process, according to the slide and a separate person familiar with the issue who’s not in the U.S. government. American officials believe Russian jamming is causing the JDAMs, and at times other American weapons such as guided rockets, to miss their mark.
“I do think there may be concern that the Russians may be jamming the signal used to direct the JDAMs, which would answer why these munitions are not performing in the manner expected and how they perform in other war zones,” said Mick Mulroy, a former Pentagon official and retired CIA officer.”
The document mentions that “1,000 arming lanyards” were approved for Ukrainian forces, suggesting that over 1,000 of the smart bomb kits will be sent.”

“A drunk man broke into a police station in Florida and helped himself to the facility’s amenities. He took a shower, pooped on a bathroom floor, and walked out with a uniform and bulletproof vest without anyone noticing.
Joseph Moulton, 36, jumped a parking lot fence at the Naples Police Department. He found an unlocked police car and sat in it for a few minutes until he noticed people walking out of the building.
Moulton then hid in the bushes waiting for his moment to head inside. Before going inside, he shoved a water hose under one of the doors and turned on the water. This caused at least an inch of flood damage. That was just the beginning of his evening of fun. Fun that he doesn’t remember.
After flooding the lobby, he made his way into the men’s locker room where he took a shower. He then put on a uniform shirt, pants, cap and a bulletproof vest. The police report then claims Moulton went into the women’s bathroom. Once inside, he threw a $1,000 police radio into a toilet and pooped on the bathroom floor.
His evening of destruction inside of the police department lasted around 40 minutes and went unnoticed until after he left the building.
An employee at a nearby 7-Eleven called the police around 1 a.m. when Moulton showed up, intoxicated, in an official police jacket. When officers arrived, he was already gone. They didn’t catch him until hours later after finding his wallet, with his ID, inside the police car. He had apparently dropped it during his night of fun.

so what can we DO about it. Why would Trump believe he has any hope of winning in 2024 with a nationwide election system that enables, easily and in multiple ways, massive election fraud.
Over 50% of Americans do not believe our elections are authentic, honest. That is a serious crisis.
1. WHERE and how are 10s of millions of ballots STORED for weeks on end b4 being counted?
. WHO receives these mail-in ballots and then records their arrival and then SEPARATES the ballot from its identifying outer envelope? What is stored are unidentifiable ballots.
It’s SO EASY for political operatives to enter these storage rooms and replace all those actual ballots with fraud ballots. Just need one corrupt, nicely paid election staff worker to get the key or code to the storage room.

“PERCHED DANGEROUSLY ON THE EDGE of a cliff, pilgrims have been visiting the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda for centuries to meditate and give offerings to the Buddha. Whether this worship keeps the boulder from rolling down the precipice is unclear, but the gold-leaf covered stone certainly inspires all who visit. At 25 feet high and 50 feet around, the golden boulder in Mon State, Myanmar is hard to miss.
According to legend, a Buddhist hermit was given a strand of hair from the Buddha himself, which he then gave to the king. For his gift, the king offered the hermit a boulder shaped like his head, and used magical powers to pull the boulder from the ocean. The king then built the small pagoda atop the rock to enshrine the Buddha’s hair for all eternity and pilgrims have flocked to the site ever since.
Although the pagoda is small by comparison to other grand Buddhist places of worship, its location on the precarious boulder makes up for its miniature 24-foot spire. Seemingly barely resting on its base, the precariously placed golden rock draws thousands every year. Pilgrimage is at its peak during the Full Moon day of Tabaung in March, when 90,000 candles are lit at the site and the golden boulder shines in the night sky.”

Senate Republicans are prepared to block Democratic efforts to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein on the powerful Judiciary committee, ratcheting up pressure on the 89-year-old California Democrat to resign or return quickly to allow President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees to be confirmed.
Democrats would need 60 votes to replace Feinstein on the panel, but senior Republicans in leadership and on the committee made clear Monday that they would not give them the votes to do that. The result: At least 12 nominees — and maybe more — could be stalled if Feinstein does not return soon.
The stakes are high for Democrats, who could see key agenda items thwarted – both on the committee and on the Senate floor – if they are unable to replace Feinstein and the California Democrat does not return to Washington soon.
Many congressional Democrats have remained largely supportive of Feinstein’s decision to remain in office while absent from the Capitol as she continues to recover from shingles. But Feinstein has faced calls to resign from two House Democrats, and if Democrats are not able to replace her on the committee that number could grow in the days ahead.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell outlined the GOP’s opposition on the Senate floor on Tuesday.
“Senate Republicans will not take part in sidelining a temporary absent colleague off the committee just so Democrats can force through their very worst nominees,” he said.
The comments were echoed by top Republicans, a clear sign Democrats lack the votes they need.

EVERYTHING BILL GATES DOES IS EVIL AND DEPRAVED!!!!!!!!!!
Bill Gates has donated over $80 million to an NGO that teaches 10 year old kids how to become “sex workers” and claims “All people are sexual beings with sexual rights, regardless of their age.”
The International Planned Parenthood Federation also says children are sexual from birth.
The IPPF says in its sex education guidance for children under 10: “Sexual activity may be part of different types of relationships, including dating, marriage or commercial sex work, among others.”
