What’s Going On Big Ben?

The following analysis includes nautical history tied to the region as well as some food for thought. What would one of our founding fathers say and do if he were alive today? The damage is done and the clean up has now begun.

544 Days plus 17 hours or so ago, and after being sworn in, has POTUS Trump attacks his own intelligence community without any intelligence? Why does POTUS believe a spy over the conclusions of the American intelligence community backed by hard data? Anyone who supports or allows Trump’s actions to continue must have a sinister reason, and all Americans must demand answers.

After Trump claimed he was more popular than Abe Lincoln, went to Europe and attacked the Brits, was rejected by many including members of The Royal Family, then he sat in Winston Churchill Chair, another seat he could never ever fill. He also accused NATO of not paying enough, so the questions which beg to be asked is how much has Russia paid to receive this type of preferential treatment?

Back in the 1700’s, our founding fathers feared to be captives of a foreign power. So what's the real difference now, Big Ben?

Big Ben could now be spinning in his grave, but one thing is clear, he would never sell the US out over fear of an adversary regardless of. the year.

Everyone take a moment to cherish this, and please hold it close to your heart. As you will see, the 17th day was near and dear to Ben Franklin.

Ben wrote to his wife... My Dearest Deborah - The bell ringing for church, we went thither immediately, and with hearts full of gratitude, returned sincere thanks to God for the mercies we had received: were I a Roman Catholic, perhaps I should on this occasion vow to build a chapel to some saint; but as I am not, if I were to vow at all, it should be to build a lighthouse. -Benjamin Franklin 7/17/1757 https://cimages.me/content/new-york-lighthouses

Franklin, one of our Founding Fathers was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, Freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, humorist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. He never referred to himself as a stable genius either.

Ben Franklin was Born: 1/17/1706, Boston, MA Bay, British America and died 4/17/1790, Philadelphia, PA, #USA
