Happy Holidays!

Do conservatives still celebrate July 4th?

They do when trump tells them how great he is and some other lies. When he lays the LAW on them, they are like putty in his hands. Lie And Whine works on those fools every time.

Like the state of NC and hundreds of millions of other Americans I'm celebrating the 4th by not attending the GASF.

Shocking July 4 poll finds nearly half of Americans don’t know what they’re celebrating on America’s 250th



... July 4 marks the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, but 46 percent of Americans and 61 percent of Gen Zers couldn't tell you that, the Cato Institute's national survey found.

... Only 61 percent correctly identified Great Britain as the nation from which the 13 colonies declared independence 250 years ago. Overall, 40 percent answered incorrectly, with 25 percent admitting they were not sure, and others guessing Europe (4 percent), Canada (3 percent), France (4 percent), Spain (2 percent), and Germany (2 percent).

More than half of Americans (57 percent) don't know why the colonies declared independence from Britain in 1776, and only 43 percent knew it was in protest of high taxes and a lack of representation in government. A further 58 percent could not identify the main purpose of the Constitution — to establish and limit the powers of the federal government.

... The greatest threats to America remaining a free republic were corruption (30 percent), too much power in the presidency (21 percent), politicians ignoring the Constitution (26 percent) and the rich having too much power (24 percent). Republicans and Democrats alike ranked corruption as the greatest threat to freedom.

Eat the Rich!

But four in 10 Americans (38 percent) think it's acceptable if a president they support stretched the Constitution to get what they want....

We are a nation of idiots.

‘Vanishingly rare’ copy of Declaration of Independence unearthed in Britain

... The document, which had been stashed away in the archive for centuries, is an extremely rare 1776 printing from Exeter, New Hampshire. It is one of just 11 surviving copies and the only one of its kind outside the US.



... The document, in which Britain's 13 American colonies declared their independence, was among the papers seized by the Royal Navy's HMS Raisonnable on Christmas Eve 1776, when it captured an American privateer vessel called the Dalton after a seven-hour pursuit....

How cool is that?!

[GoCubsGo]

Real cool.

One year ago today, Trump and Republicans passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, cutting healthcare by $1 trillion. Since then:

—The average cost of healthcare has doubled
—4.2 million Americans lost ACA coverage
—3.8 million Americans lost Medicaid coverage
—Nearly 500 hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes have closed

Thanks MAGA.
