The White House on Monday canceled a Fourth of July celebration for troops who were scheduled to attend an event on the South Lawn, citing the possibility of inclement weather.

However, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will proceed with a planned performance this evening from rapper Kendrick Lamar and singer Janelle Monae. Afterward, the couple will deliver remarks in the East Room of the White House.

I hear he’s staying in DC. That means daily lectures, especially if Trump wins.

Every headline will be “Trump Says America First, Does X, Former Pres. Obama Disagrees.”

So the troops won’t be invited in for the “performance”? Just turned away?


The majority of the troops wouldn’t want to see any Rap Crap anyway.

He’s staying in DC. He’ll be ten times worse than Jimmy Carter. I really can’t see a scenario where he peacefully would hand over the baton to Trump, I really don’t. Call me crazy, but I see a constitutional crisis.

That’s right. POS Obama has no idea of the meaning of Independence Day or the celebration thereof.

IIRC, it rained during the Memorial Day concert this year as shown on PBS. Gary Senise, Joe Mantegna and the Beach Boys still showed up. Weird. I guess family barbeques are “old school” Independence Day celebrations. Listening to loudmouth “rappers” is the new Independence Day celebration in Obonzo’s fundamentally deformed America.

I didn’t know anything about this rapper Kendrick Lamar, so I took a look online to see what he’s all about. Well it turns out that his number one hero and rap influence is the dead scumbag Tupac Shakur, and this Lamar has a hit called “Alright” which is considered by many to be the “unofficial anthem” of the Black Lives Matter movement. The lyrics are just execrable. Yes, this is the scummy garbage that the President of the USA has performing in the White House on JULY FOURTH!!!! Damn you Obama, you are loathsome !!!! Lyrics to “Alright” —. https://play.google.com/music/preview/Twh256vo253qhbhbnxkckb5beoi?lyrics=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=lyrics&pcampaignid=kp-lyrics

IF we have another president, and if he (Trump) were to win, just to make a point or symbolic gesture, he should:

- Refuse to live in the White Hut, AND have the White Hut professionally exterminated for several months, with GIANT BLUE fumigation tents/raps, (which is the traditional color of conservativism and parliamentary forms of government around the world)

- Have giant American flag prints on those blue fumigation tents, which could be lit up from the inside at night, as a signal to Americans and the world that conservativism, Constitutionalism, individual freedom are once again ruling the day!

- “DEEP CLEAN” and renovate the White Hut after so many Muslims and crazy immoral individuals have stayed in the White Hut

- Do something big to the White House, to symbolically “reclaim” it for Americans and freedom!!!
