Arvo...just watched a news reporter from the ABC climb up inside the Statue of Liberty...
Absolutely fascinating and he was allowed to climb right up to the torch..
The view was spectacular, but as always for me anyway, I look to where the Twin Towers were..
The skyline just doesn't look quite right somehow without the Towers being there...
From the gravest of times in US and world history, Liberty's light still shines out against the darkness..
Happy 4th of July...
Skylines change. Took a long time for me to adjust.
We love her.
happy cut off day for american patriots that still support the constitution ...
now I have to watch the whole damned childish patrol car killing movie.........best sound track evah !
best police car chase ...
Don'tcha love it?
ahh-hah! So no one is attracted by my photos of aged people who can kind of play the guitar and sing... or Aretha Franklin
Aretha was THE GREATEST!!! A good friend of mine was Aretha's musical director for 40 years. I saw him on PBS recently when they were showing an Aretha performance, and then a few days later we had lunch. He is going to turn 90 in a little over a week from now but he is the busiest, most active person I know. It's really amazing. My nephew went with us for lunch and was comvinced he couldn't be over about 65.
holy shit, and I thought I was next in line for the boneyard here. just kidding, happy 4th, and the opening of maga hunting season ...
Happy 4th
In the words of Benjamin Franklin: It's "A Republic if you can keep it."
Right now, the Republic faces its most severe test since the Civil War. The founders seemed to have assumed that American society would always be somewhat normal. The Bill of Rights kind of depends on that. Freedom of expression has come to mean without limits as we saw in Seattle when attendees of the gay pride parade marched the streets naked while children looked on. American law has been warped by Critical Race Theory and Critical Legal Theory. The founders believed reason would always prevail.
The only positive thing I can leave people with is that mankind's great experiment managed to survive for 250 years, as of today.
Has America and American law been warped by racism? I assume even you will agree with that. America has gotten a lot better, but we are nowhere near where we need to go. Blatant legal racism only ended 60 years ago. That is not close to being enough time to resolve the problem. White people need to speak less about race and let things develop, it will work itself out in the end.
Are you kidding?
Explain the law on shoplifting out in California or the bail law in New York.
Explain the decisions of Soros backed DAs.
Explain Critical Legal Theory.
You have the annoying habit of not responding to the actual comments made to you.
Notice he said "The founders seemed to have assumed that American society would always be somewhat normal" of a time when white male Christians were the only ones who could vote and they were allowed to own black people as property. I think that says a lot about the kind of folks patriotic Americans are having to contend with.
Exactly when the worst conservative racists like Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond ( Oops that fine black librarian is my daughter! )
switched from being radical Democrats to being two faced Republicans. Soon both Parties changed ideologies as easily as one can change clothes.
That may be a bit naive, but the sentiment is good for the holiday.
There are a half dozen, you know who they are, that see a speck of pepper in the sugar bowl and want to through the whole bowl of sugar out or
make a mountain out of a mole pile.
The Wild West is us. We have more guns than citizens and worship the 2ND like a Golden Idol.
What could go wrong?
This is insanity. "We just need more racism and for white people to shut up." That will surely solve everything.
The racist obsessions of progressives are the greatest threat to America.
Not at all. 100 years ago the Democrats were the party of racism and big government. 1924 was the Klanbake convention, after all. 100 years later Democrats are still fighting for racism and big government policies.
I'm now curios what other topics progressives believe particular races need to speak less about.
In the progressive vision of America, which races get to talk about crime? What about immigration? welfare? foreign policy?
so to you, crime , immigration and welfare are racial issues ? i think we already surmised that
Your deflection is irrelevant to my comments.
Your partisan malarky is still delusional.
No, that’s why they are separated out and used the words “ other topics”.
so, again, which races do progressives believe should speak less on which topics?
Topic:
Return to it or be deleted as off topic. Surely you (and John) can think of some way , some thing, that you can agree upon. Do you like Coke or Pepsi or some other? Do you have children, grandchildren? What happened today that was unexpectedly nice?
You both can get the idea.
Here is Thomas's birthday card to America and somebody has to dump all over it with his own crapola.
Shame on him!
or think it's fly shit
Thanks for the birthday card, Thomas!
Just shake the sugar bowl and they will never know...
Happy 250th!
Happy 250 birthday! (Returning to the topic!)
True, with a corrupt, criminal tyrant and traitor in the White House, not to mention the millions that support him.
A republic if you can keep it indeed.
10 years of investigating and the Democrats have come up with ZERO evidence to back up your claim. Perhaps you can.
This is an example of willful denialism.
try to refrain from nonsense

Try to do what Democrats have failed to do for a decade. Prove it. I'm betting this like you many "we got him now" articles that failed to produce.
We have provided evidence for years. I am sure most everyone here has seen you dismiss evidence. It is at a laughable level now.
If you can't say anything nice, then do not say anything at all.
I hope your 4th was happy and safe.
If the evidence is there, then you won't have a problem linking it in this article.
What I've dismissed is your opinion pushed as fact.
Having linked my evidence repeatedly for years now, and having your fellow Trump supporters endlessly whine about it, it is obvious to me and likely everyone else that you will ignore it as usual.[✘]

Yeah, but you're only listing things found in court, legal documents, tax records, contemporary testimony, and by a government run by the 'deep State' which can't be trusted! I mean come on, with Obama judges and, like, Clinton's email server and Benghazi and Wuhan Fauci, Hunter Biden's billions from Ukraine, so you know, nothing that comes from them can be trusted. We'll believe you only if you bring Trump to each and every one of our doors and he confesses to his crimes himself, otherwise, it's all just deep state deep fake nonsense! /s

The country is happier when we dont have a president who needs to impose himself on our attention 24/7. Literally.
America is so big and diverse , including geographically , to the point where there will always be huge differences of opinion. Just keep moving toward a "more perfect union"
Happy 4 th of July and 250 th to Thomas, our NT gang, and all decent human beings who call our nation home!
nice shirt ...
I got that for completing the Cardio-Rehab after my triple bypass last August. At my recent evaluation, I was determined to be fit and my bloodwork was deemed exceptional. I recently climbed Crane Mt ., which has grades of 40%. I then realized that I had to adjust my exercise schedule to accommodate squats and single leg lifts. My thighs were burning, but I felt no discomfort the following day.
And thank you, TiG, for the much improved background.
Good for you, hope you keep improving
That is a nice shirt and congrats on completing your rehab! Hope your 4th was lovely
And yours, as well.
Happy 4th of July (250th)!!!! I went to an hour long prayer 'breakfast' for this nation's 250th. . .it was quite interesting!
if you feel the need to pray for an hour before eating breakfast, it's probably time to patronize a different restaurant ...
Well, I was not at a restaurant. . . I ate breakfast before attending, and prayer does not offend me. Anything to say about the 250th 4th of July?
you're the one that said it was a prayer breakfast and I'm just being obnoxious about whether you got fed ...
happy birthday usa. yay. go democracy go ...
I've worked hard for decades to balance my karma on this holiday from past activities in my youth, by not participating.
I might watch a war movie on TV later I guess ...
Yes, I got 'fed.' (Note the quotes, please.) It's all good, 'D'!
At least he admitted he was being obnoxious. I can rough him up some if you want me to
It's okay. We love 'D'!
you weren't here for me to pick on ...
we thought shooting roman candles and exploding bottle rockets into fireworks stands was funny ...
Ahhhh, youth. The time when the thoughts came after the actions
immortal youth ...
The technical term is "Semiquincentennial", but Trump could not pronounce it so they are keeping it simple.
You say it 5 times real fast
Semiquincentennial - Semiquincentennial - Semiquincentennial - Semiquincentennial- Semiquincentennial....DONE!
LOL!
smarty pants
Have a safe and sane Independence Day!
