A Great 4th of July to all !
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." Ronald Reagan

Nothing better than this Country !

To bad some think there is a NEED to destroy it from within.

Those types will be "Defeated !

"The people made worse off by slavery were those who were enslaved. Their descendants would have been worse off today if born in Africa instead of America. Put differently, the terrible fate of their ancestors benefitted them."

"People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do. "

"It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it."

It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

Thomas Sowell

It was hijacked by Trump for his rallys so therefore, I won't hold it in the high esteem that I used to.

Really?  He didn’t say one word about his re-election or the various campaign issues in either his Mt. Rushmore or Tribute to America speeches.  It was all about exceptional American Greatness

Trump Announces National Garden of American Heroes

GetFile.aspx?guid=2c176d34-d93a-409c-9b44-864b86932a6e&SiteName=Newsmax&maxsidesize=600

Rejecting the "merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children" in his July 3 Mount Rushmore speech, President Donald Trump announced an executive order to celebrate American heroes.

"Under the authority vested in me as president of the United States, I am announcing the creation of a new monument to the giants of our past,"  Trump said in his Friday night speech in South Dakota. "I am signing an executive order to establish the National Garden of American Heroes, a vast outdoor park that will feature the statues of the greatest Americans to ever live.

"From this night and from this magnificent place, let us go forward united in our purpose and re-dedicated in our resolve. We will raise the next generation of American patriots. We will write the next thrilling chapter of the American adventure.

"And we will teach our children to know that they live in a land of legends, that nothing can stop them, and that no one can hold them down. They will know that in America, you can do anything, you can be anything, and together, we can achieve anything."

Trump's executive order is an effort to strike back at the destruction of American momuments in an election year. Its location and makeup will be flushed out by the Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes, and it will be finished by July 4, 2026.

A portion of order reads:

"The National Garden should be composed of statues, including statues of John Adams, Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, Daniel Boone, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Henry Clay, Davy Crockett, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Benjamin Franklin, Billy Graham, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Douglas MacArthur, Dolley Madison, James Madison, Christa McAuliffe, Audie Murphy, George S. Patton, Jr., Ronald Reagan, Jackie Robinson, Betsy Ross, Antonin Scalia, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, George Washington, and Orville and Wilbur Wright." https://www.newsmax.com/politics/monuments-national-park-executive/2020/07/04/id/975686/

Harriet Tubman

Really - she gets a statue instead of being on the $20? Bet he's planning a really small statue.

What would you consider a small statue? How big does it need to be to lose that designation in your opinion?

Need to know if we are going to bet!

Funny thing about Harriet T, she is only supposed to appear on one side of the $20 with Andrew J

still occupying the other side, a supposed Obama compromise.

Started in 2016 by Jack Lew, a final design was promised by 2020, now that that is done,

Steve Mnuchin says it may take 4 more years to over come security issues...

Perhaps they should contract the process out to Elon Musk and Spacex. 

They seem to accomplish more with less $$ in a shorter amount of time.

I wonder if our leftists think Stephen Douglass and Martin Luther King Jr. and Jackie Robinson will get mini statues too because they are African Americans?

I have no problem with that compromise with one face on each side of the $20 bill.

this year the city fireworks display was the biggest ever....   yet the official city display was canceled.

so we took matters into our own hands.... LOL

the people lite this city up from end to end on their own for hours on end.

all one had to do was go outside and look up.     fireworks everywhere all at once.

the best 4th this city has seen in decades....  it was awesome :)

It was like that all over California in cities and counties the mayor or governor outlawed fireworks displays and gatherings.  In most cases there were more fireworks than ever before.  Instead of city events there were multiple dozens of smaller neighborhood block parties where privately purchased ones were used.  I live in a county not hard hit by the Newscum so we had our fireworks where over half the city could see them from home or their business.  The rest simply assembled in areas around town with a view in our cars or sidewalks as the civic center and rodeo grounds where they are launched from was closed to the public.  Many I’m the state made a point of celebrating independence because our governor/mayor told us not to!
