The Freedom 250 event is not a celebration of our Country. It is embarrassing.

I am watching it on Bulwarks Substack page. It is all about Trump and the wonderful things that he has done. OMG. How he has hijacked our country's celebration it is just a travesty.

I have subscribed to a few substack accounts because I like getting information from alternative media.

Ignorant Narcissist Baby that currently defiles the People's house has been smoking too much or
eating some pretty powerful brain numbing substance. Anything the pussy ass c@nt in the white
house (there is no need to show respect for something the orange mofo has defiled by using capitals)tries to make people believe it is about them and not him are part of the problem and not the solution if they are so brain dead, they actually believe that Shit!!!!

late June- July 4. They are really pretty in big bright blue pots. I also have a boxelder (artificial) wreath on the door that I would add a few sparse artificial red, white, and blue flowers.

But, I have done so to commemorate--NOT CELEBRATE. And as July 4 approaches, I have some mini NO KINGS flags and I will weave one on the front door boxelder wreath and maybe another in one of the pots. I don't want anyone vandalizing my flowers or anything else, but I guess if they swipe the little flags, I have several others and my neighborhood is largely likely to agree with me on this issue, with a few exceptions.
