I SAY YEAH, RON THE SANTIS:  “It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter.

(I’d give you the x-cancel link, but this post broke it.)

AS HE SHOULD:  Trump pardons 9 people convicted of tampering with emission controls on diesel engines. Alaska veteran Mac Spurlock was among those freed after armed EPA agents raided his shop over engine modifications.

CATCHY AS HECK:  Greatest new song to come out of the World Cup!

WHAT HE SAID:  My Culture ‘Tis of Thee- America at 250!  The question of “What is an American?” is currently grinding our cultural gears. Well there is and has been an answer to that question for 250 years- it’s our distinct and indelible culture.

THEY PROMISE EQUALITY AND FRATERNITY BUT DEATH IS THE ONLY GIFT IN THEIR GIVING:  The (Commie) King’s Speech. The new Ugandan communist “it” boy addresses the nation.

YES, I’M GOING TO SHARE ALL OF THESE ONE DAY LATE:  Independence Day. On the 250th Birthday.

Sorry, but it was very late when I got anywhere near a computer last night.

NO. THE SOVIET UNION DIED OF CENTRAL PLANNING:  We Are Dying of the Same Thing That Killed the Soviets. The system optimizes for the system. The ideology is decoration.

Sorry we are not the same! That said, bureaucracy is always an issue. It needs pruning.

THE EUROPEANS HAVE ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO BE CONVINCED THAT NOT LOVING ONE’S COUNTRY IS A VIRTUE:  Some Thoughts on American Patriotism…

Poor bastards.
The one time my family visited, they were shocked by people flying flags (including yours truly) and our loud, enthusiastic celebration of the fourth of July. How shocked? They kept taking pictures as though they’d wondered onto a strange and outre ritual.  Neighbor flying normal every day flag? Snap a picture. Kids running around with sparklers? Snap a picture. Pick up with flags? snap a picture. … I found their reaction very odd.

AMERICA AD ASTRA:  On Our Way To The Stars.

POLIMATH DISMANTLES LEFTY PROF AND HIS THREAD CALLING PATRIOT FRONT ‘REPUBLICAN STAFFERS’ IN JUST TWO POSTS:

As John Nolte adds, “if these were actual right wingers, the corporate media would have doxxed them by now:”

It’s simple logic…

In the same we know the moon landing was real because of it weren’t, the Russians would’ve said so, if
these were actual right wingers, the corporate media would have doxxed them by now. https://t.co/sXSncdsKDu
