Today is not "Presidents' Day!"
From George Washington's mouth:
"[T]hose entrusted with its [the nation's] administration [must] confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments into one and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism...[B]ut let there be no change by usurpation [wrongful seizure of power]; for though this in one instance may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed."
(from the "Address of George Washington, President of the United States, and Late Commander in Chief of the American Army, to the People of the United States, Preparatory to His Declination," from the book, Original Intent, by David Barton, p.272)
And from the same book, p. 334: "[T]he propitious [favorable] smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained." (in The Daily Advertiser (New York), May 1, 1789, p.2)
Our 1st President believed the Revolutionary War was only won by Divine Providence, as we were outnumbered, and underarmed, and undertrained compared to the British. I can think of nothing better to celebrate George Washington's Birthday than to know the truths spoken by this great Founding Father of our Nation. And what better way to honor George Washington than to rely on Divine Providence to carry us through a time of usurpation of power by our Federal government, the abuse of power of which our First President warned us, over 300 years ago.
Have you eaten an MRE ("Meal, Ready-to Eat" )? Or even seen one?
Our veterans may be the only ones who have had the experience. Though after the recent hurricanes here on Clearwater Beach the National Guard visited our neighborhood and handed out MREs. Watch this short video if you have never seen an MRE and are curious about the ingredients. And if you have eaten MREs as a veteran on a war front, enjoy a burger or a hot dog on the grill instead!
Be aware of what you put on your skin. Especially if it is a chemical that increases skin absorption of harmful chemicals. Found in cosmetics and on disposable razors. And learn a better way. Old school, traditional approaches are often safer, less expensive, and less toxic to the environment.

With all the division and controversy over who should be our next president in this election year, I thought it worthy to examine the difference between the U.S. president who is to this day the only president officially honored on this holiday and the president whose holiday was combined with the original holiday to make what most people now call, "President's Day."
George Washington was a valiant, humble soldier who led our forefathers into independence from an intrusive, money-hungry government that sought to control and tax them beyond reason. Most people believe Abraham Lincoln to be the next greatest president. Yet the truth speaks otherwise. Listen and learn the truth about our 16th president. From me and from Joel Salatin, 2 old and, perhaps, wise men.
Abraham Lincoln changed the landscape of our country. He was the leader of change from a country founded on freedom to a country controlled by a more and more intrusive, controlling, money-hungry government, much like the British ...
Our country's greatest president? He not only ended the central bank but paid off the national debt, the only president to do either. Watch the documentary, https://www.amazon.com/Andrew-Jackson-Edward-Herrmann/dp/B0CKNNQXRX
February 22, 1732
George Washington was born in Virginia on February 11, 1731, according to the then-used Julian calendar. In 1752, however, Britain and all its colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar which moved Washington's birthday a year and 11 days to February 22, 1732.
