That Thomas Paine Wrote Some Good Common Sense

“Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a Government, which we might expect in a country without Government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.”

Remarks by President Biden on Investing in America

whitehouse.gov | April 3,2023 | 2:34 P.M. CDT

THE PRESIDENT:  Hello, hello, hello!  Please have a seat, if you have one.  (Laughter.)

As the Governor has heard me say before: When I was — first became President, I was at a major event, and I said, “Everybody have a seat.”  And the press wrote, “He’s so dumb he didn’t even know there were no seats.”  (Laughter.)  Anyway, I’m glad you’re — have seats to sit in because you’ve been standing a long time.

Biden Refers to Tornado-Torn Mississippi Town Rolling Fork as ‘Rolling Stone’
NY Post | March 31, 2023 | Patrick Reilly

President Biden visited the small tornado-ravaged Mississippi town of Rolling Fork on Friday and twice referred to it as “Rolling Stone.” …

“We’re not just here for today … we’re going to get it done for you,” Biden told the crowd. “I’m making sure you got a place to sleep, food to eat, helping you rebuild your lives in Rolling Stone.”

He later repeated the mistake later in his speech: “The town of Rolling Stone will be back, and we’ll be with you every step of the way,” he said.

Biden, 80, acknowledged the mix-up towards the end of the remarks, Fox News reported.

“What did I say, I said Rolling Fork,” the president said. “Rolling Stone. I got my mind going here.”
