Happy 250th!

So, many Americans are nicer to foreigners than to fellow citizens of the opposing political party?

I wonder why

It’s a glass half full / glass half empty thing.

We don’t have to constantly dwell on them but we also must not sweep them under the carpet and forget about them permanently.

Your last paragraph is truly ironic when at this point in time many citizens of the United States of America feel subjected to tyranny within the United States of America.

Consider these photos of faces in our nation’s capital on July 4, 2026. This was part of our celebration of freedom. If we don’t dwell on it will it stop? Will that young lady be less uncomfortable? Feel more free?

Nothing says masculinity and patriotism quite like hiding behind a mask and sunglasses.

Cornwallis surrendered in 1781. So really, 245 years. More or less. Dark complected folk might argue, much less.

The Americans of that time, 1776, DECLARED their independence, so we declared independence 250 years ago, it took a few years to finish the war.

That war never ends. There’s always somebody trying to subjugate you to their desires.
