On a very different Fourth of July, when many Americans are wrestling with the racist misdeeds of the country's heroes and confronting an unrelenting pandemic with surging cases, their commander-in-chief is attempting to drag America backward -- stirring fear of cultural change while flouting the most basic scientific evidence about disease transmission.
In a jaw-dropping speech that amounted to a culture war bonfire, President Trump used the backdrop of Mount Rushmore to frame protesters as a nefarious left-wing mob that intends to "end America." Those opponents, he argued, are engaged in a "merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children."
The President largely acted as if the coronavirus didn't exist.
Instead, when Trump spoke on Friday night of a "growing danger," he was talking about an entirely different threat than rising coronavirus cases. He referred to a threat to America's "heritage" -- rhetoric intended to rev up his base at a time when many Americans are attempting to relearn the nation's history with greater attention to the wrongs inflicted on Black and Native American people.
Repeatedly using vague pronouns like "they" and "them," Trump sought to play on the fears of a minority who view the rise of Black Lives Matter as a threat to the historical dominance of White people.
One of "their political weapons," he said, is "cancel culture," which would drive people from their jobs and "demand total submission" from anyone who disagrees.
He mysteriously described those who would tear down statues of racist leaders from the past as "a new far left fascism that demands absolute allegiance."
"If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted and punished," Trump said.

You should get her interested in something else! ;)
The big city protests breathed new life into the China virus transmission rates. So far, no one is sick and were back in masks and quarantine but they need to keep this going until November. Whatever Trumps got, he better use it now or hes out. His popularity is falling because hes dithering and twittering and needs to lay some hurt on secitionists in and out of the Swamp

I quit watching the news many decades ago. It was clearly biased and I did not see a need to watch that junk. I do not think I have missed anything.
I usually do not talk about anyones looks but what in the world is wrong with her makeup? Her face is different colors.
Hell, I can''t walk by the television without uttering an oath. I watch a lot of movies and documentaries, but I cannot watch programmed television. I stopped back in the late Nineties...something about it, the sitcoms, the news, the commercials, it all began to grate on me.
I began to feel that I wasn't watching what I wanted to watch, I was watching something someone thought I might want to watch, or...worse...watching what they wanted me to watch.
Ugh. I haven't been able to stomach it for decades. Even on 9/11, I could bring myself to watch so little of it. I didn't want to be glued to it. I have seen nearly all the footage second hand, not in real time. So I just do not watch directly.
Heh, if we go out to eat and are asked a seating preference, my wife will say "Not close to a TV!" before I can even open my mouth.
It's a favor to both of us...:)
You're not spending Independence Day reflecting on the racist misdeeds of our country's heroes? What's wrong with you?
I was never a HUGE television watcher (except as a little kid, where I wanted to watch a LOT. All the old sitcoms, I Love Lucy, Green Acres, Car-54, the more serious ones like Perry Mason, things like that.
Then, when my family went overseas, there was NOTHING on television. We went to a lot of movies in the base theaters. Then when we came back, I was not into television for a long time...watched almost no television.
The last television show I remember following were Home Improvement and ER.
So, sometime before I die, I will probably see things like "Taxi" and "Seinfeld", or even "South Park" or "The Simpsons" in their entirety instead of a two minute excerpt here and there.
I missed all those things that seem to be cultural touch stones for some.
When do we declare the dying media dead and just ignore them?
The propagandists are still trying to lie and deceive people about their efforts to destroy the country. Looks like they still don’t have the guts to own what they are doing. Keeping anything recognizable about this great country is what they call “dragging America backward” from their Brave New World (that looks surprisingly a lot like the old one in Cuba, China, Venezuela...).
He mysteriously described those who would tear down statues of racist leaders from the past as “a new far left fascism that demands absolute allegiance.”
Segregationists, Seditionists, Secessionists, Anarchists, and Communists stand united against this President and our Constitution.
Don't like it? GTFO
