Happy 4th of July!

[Uncle Rico]

Happy 4th of July, even to the losers and haters of which there are many!

Please take a moment to remember that fateful moment when Jesus rose from the grave and gave Abraham Lincoln the Ten Condiments to help fight the French 250 years ago and Thomas Jefferson won The Battle of Concord with our Air Force.

Once upon a time, America rose up against a mad king who imposed random tariffs unilaterally.


Actually read the Declaration of Independence today.   Ponder its applicability in our modern world.   Marvel at the parallels.

The list of grievances is truly astounding, looking at where we are today.

To celebrate America's birthday, the White House spent $14 million in taxpayer money on traveling museums called "Freedom Trucks." Inside, visitors can view a "Wall of American Heroes." All 51 heroes are white males, of course. And the only 3 heroic presidents featured are Lincoln, McKinley and Guess Who.

Anyhoo ... here's hoping everyone has a happy, safe 4th of July, surrounded by family and friends.

Huh

Aretha Franklin is a White male?!?  You sure would never guess by listening to that singing voice...

Jessie Owens is the fastest white athlete until Jeff Janis

And I see no presidents at all on that wall. So mea culpa. I paraphrased that post from elsewhere, but it's incumbent on me to check before posting. Apologies to all, and happy 4th.

Happy Fourth everybody. Our nation is someplace special and I'm glad I'm a small part of it.

I think back to July 3rd, 1863, often this time of year.  Terrible day for America.  Wish Lee could have pulled that off.

Here's the second item in today's Wall Street Journal e-newsletter:

As Xi Jinping prepares to extend his reign, he has embraced tactics reminiscent of Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong - purging senior officials, overseeing the growth of a cult of personality and demanding absolute loyalty.

Such things could never happen here in America!

You think weird things.
