Independence Day!
The fireworks lit the sky!
The Media flips!

 

The Speech

On Friday, Trump held an Independence Day. It was a great speech. It was prepared for him, which usually makes him look really good, albeit dry,

It was an “America is about God, baseball, family and apple pie speech.” It was, quite possibly, the best speech he has given. And he has given a few.

The speech was positive, celebrating our history and our growth (though he did not focus on the historical details so much). Here is the speech:

He had several themes throughout the speech:

• He celebrated our philosophies: moral reason and reason.
• He celebrated our history and said he would not permit the Left to destroy our monuments.
• He bashed social justice and cancel culture.
• He talked about the protection of America and its citizens from enemies, foreign and domestics.
• He emphasized the growth of America, including Civil Rights.
• He talked about the great personalities in history, the great cities in America and the accomplishments throughout history.
• His conclusion, we must remember this country’s history. He said he is going to create a new monument that will have a statue to the greatest people in American history.

 

It was a great speech. Very positive. It was the kind of speech that made one proud of being an American and look forward to the wonders of our future achievements.

 

The Media

Darkness! Despair! Racial division!

Basically, the media has decided to lie about the speech. It was too good. There was nothing they could say if they looked at the speech so the media took cuts out of it and read into those quotes. Here are some headlines about the speech:

• Trump Fuels Culture Wars from Mt. Rushmore – New York Times
• Trump Fuels Racial Division at Mt. Rushmore Speech – Time Manazine
• Trump’s Mt. Rushmore Speech Just as Terrifyingly Bonkers as You’d Expect – Esquire Magazine
• Eye Opener: Trump Makes Divisive Speech at Mt. Rushmore – CBS News

 

This speech was far from Divisive or bonkers or what ever. Well, unless you think America is a great place with a great history. But the funniest, most “unbiased” view of the speech from Chris Cillizza of CNN. Let’s read some of it.

Listen, Trump says a lot of dump stuff. And there has not been a shortage of dumb things Trump has said or Tweeted over the last few weeks. But this speech was not one of them. It was a great speech. I tell you, Trump could cure cancer and CNN would find a good reason for cancer.

 

The People

The people have had enough. Nothing was going to stop them from celebrating Independence Day this year. Not COVID-19, political injustice or Anftifa was going to stop us.

California decided to, basically, cancel Independence Day. There were going to be no organized fireworks displays, personal fireworks are illegal and they have decided to close the beaches throughout California.

Guess what? People had enough. The beaches were packed, though social distancing was being followed. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department declared they would not be enforcing any of the beach closures.

But, one of the most amazing sites I have seen was while driving through Los Angeles. The sky was lit with illegal, private fireworks.

It was the most amazing fireworks display I had ever seen. It made Los Angeles sound like a war zone.

Are you seeing what I am seeing? Are people sick and tired of being told what they can not do without any explanation or plan to let us be free. We are not China or Russia. There better be an excuse or timeline and it better make sense or people will just do what they want, the law be damned.

Let’s look at Gil Garcetti, the crappy mayor from Los Angeles. He decided to close beached from July 3rd to July 6th. That’s right, he closed the beaches only during the holiday weekend, essentially ruining the holiday for thousands of families during the hot and sticky holiday. His move appeared so obvious, even law enforcement was not going to enforce the law. Heck, law enforcement was not allowed to stop looters from destroying business and running wild on the streets, why enforce a law where people are just doing something fun on the most important national holiday of the year?
