While we are celebrating America the cant fix stupid crew is spewing this -
An essay published in the Nation on Friday accuses Americans celebrating independence of failing to “reckon with the fact that the founders of our nation were colonizers,” with American “exceptionalism” and foreign policy being “grounded in racism,” adding that issues such as climate change and “racist policing” are the “greatest existential threats” while global terrorism and threats from China, Russia, and Iran, are merely “imagined threats.”
Happy 4th of July. And happy 4th of July Eve to those who started early where the deer and the antelope roam to near my humble abode on the Left coast. It is wasn’t lightening I heard or Beale setting off rather huge ordinances, then it must of been July 4th Eve celebrations.
So good to hear that Dr. Rebane got his Americana bunting up and probably a flag or two. He really knows how to hurt the Lefties. :)
‘Fighting Back Against the Killjoys’
“......In fact, let’s try whooping it up whenever the occasion presents itself. Months of masks and social distancing have left many Americans grim about the mouth, and the wokesters have only added to our pain and misery. Let’s make laughter our antidote to their poison, and joy in living our sunshine against their darkness and clouds.
Independence Day, for example, is just around the corner. Let’s decorate our homes with American flags and red, white, and blue bunting. Let’s light off some fireworks and sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “God Bless America” at our backyard barbeques. Let’s take pride and delight in the fact that we still live in “the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
And let’s pay attention when we see joy in others. This past week I was driving past the courthouse when a young man and woman came outside. The guy was waving a piece of paper in triumph, and then he scooped the girl into his arms and carried her off down the street. Was that their wedding license he had in hand? I have no idea, but that sight brought me a grin that wouldn’t quit.
H.L. Mencken famously defined Puritanism as “the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.” As I said earlier, that’s an undeserved slap in the face to the original Puritans, but it definitely fits the tight-lipped, flinty eyed woke folks to a T, and we don’t have to allow them to spoil our own happiness.
This summer, let’s make a concerted effort to have some fun wherever we can find it.
And to think this year NPR put trigger warnings on its annual July 4th posting of the Declaration of Independence. How can you fight for something you do not love?
A happy 4TH to all.

Have a great insurrection day. Been reading up on my traitorous
forefathers, and what their stories were, and the roles they played.
