Today is the 239th birthday of our nation. A toast to our forefathers and the example of courage they showed us and the world. A toast to the legacy of the seed of freedom they planted in becoming the longest continuing form of government in the history of the world. To our future... let no man, no political party, or no ideology undermine it.

You know..the Confederate flag being abused by individuals is not worthy of a federal purge of the 1st Amendment rights of others. The Supreme Court even allows individuals to abuse our National Flag .. even on the 4th of July.

Wait a minute.. how come taxpayers are getting stuck for the legal fees again after W***'s family has shown the ability to hire a personal lawyer for him?

Online story: "A plane powered by the sun's rays landed in Hawaii Friday after a record-breaking five-day journey across the Pacific Ocean from Japan. * The project is estimated to cost more than $100 million," -- Hmmm .... rumor has it that the aircraft will be confiscated by Obamageddon to give to his wife to use to cut down the expenses of her country-hopping in Air Force 1 or 2...

Online story: " In a message to Washington, Iran's foreign minister on Friday called for an end to "coercion and pressure" at the nuclear talks, suggesting a deal acceptable to his country will open the door to cooperation on fighting the upsurge of Middle East extremism threatening both nations' interests." -- Hmmm.. it's easy to "negotiate" when one side never plans to keep any of its promises.. Sorta like the Democratic Party platform its candidates state in campaign promises.

---

Hey... wasn't June 30th the date Obamageddon drew the line in the sand? Why is he still at the table? Why... because Iran is laughing at him...

Online headline/story: "San Francisco: No 'legal basis' to hold shooting suspect * A man suspected in the shooting death of a woman at a busy San Francisco tourist destination has seven felony convictions and has been deported five times, most recently in 2009, a federal agency said Friday. * S****** was on probation for an unspecified conviction, police Sgt. Michael Andraychak said Thursday. * ICE agency spokeswoman Virginia Kice said ICE issued a detainer for Sanchez in March, requesting to be notified if he was going to be released. The detainer was not honored, she said * Freya Horne, counsel for the sheriff's office, said Friday that federal detention orders are not a "legal basis" to hold someone, so Sanchez was released April 15. San Francisco is a sanctuary city and local money cannot be spent to cooperate with federal immigration law. * "It's not legal to hold someone on a request to detain. This is not just us. This is a widely adopted position," Horne said." -- "It's not legal to hold someone on a request to detain. This is not just us."? Huh? Why aren't the DOJ and Obamageddon himself arresting the SanFrancisco Mayor. Council, and serving "personna non grata" papers to Pelosi, Feinstein, and Boxer to keep them out of Washington, DC and the other 49 states? This killer wasn't "a man" as California claims... he's a 7-time convicted/5-times deported illegal alien! TRUMP is RIGHT!

---

Did you notice that when NBC went "Dump Trump", NBC was silent on the PGA tournaments played on his courses/spa properties.

---

I hope the family of the woman killed in the above story sues Mexico for not jailing this man when he was first deported, and the San Francisco for aiding and abetting a known felon by releasing him back on the streets instead of turning him over to ICE.

Online headline: "the National Park Service Permanently Removes Confederate Flags From Fort Sumter, Site Where South Fired First Shots Of Civil War" -- Whoa.. then the NPS needs to permanently CLOSE Ft Sumpter.. Ft Sumpter was not even completely finished when the first shots of the Civil War were fired, and the only reason that Ft Sumpter IS a National Park is because of those first shots.. Removing any Confederate items literally is rewriting history, so close Ft Sumpter completely and eliminate all associated jobs there!

L-E's "Thought for Today": “All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.” — Adlai E. Stevenson, American diplomat and politician (1900-1965). " -- Hmm.. did you notice that Stevenson being a Democrat was conveniently omitted? FTR, all unpopular decisions are not Progress!

Online headline/story: "Malia Obama snags internship on hit TV show * The 17-year-old daughter of POTUS scored a dream gig on the set of a major HBO show -- and she's already been spotted working on set in NYC. * Malia Obama stirred up unexpected controversy when the media learned that she interned as a production assistant on the set of Extant, a new CBS show. * Never mind that her tasks involved fetching coffee " -- Good grief.. How obviously biased is the mainscream media going to prove itself? ABC's anchor donated money to the Clinton's, NBC "fired" Trump, and now CBS hires one of Obamageddon's teenaged daughters to a job someone in need could have been hired to do. ... Oh, and how much her job going to cost us for Malia to "fetch" coffee? After all, we must assume at least two (more now that this is NEWS) Secret Service personnel will accompany her from to & from the coffee machine. .. Hmmm.. and how is CBS going to explain assigning a low level menial job to a young black teen?

---

Online headline/story: "Fugitive convict to daughter: 'See you on the outside' * Richard Matt, who was killed by police in a manhunt following his prison escape, had written a letter to his daughter before he broke out." -- Good grief.. don't tell me the prison didn't read his outgoing mail!.. and worse than that, don't tell me the prison read his mail and didn't conduct a thorough examination of his cell..

Just thought of something... Do you think Obamageddon thought he was talking with the Dallas Mavericks office about a post-career job when he decided to open up Cuban diplomacy?

---

Wait a minute.. there's an online list of the Best 75 Hot Dogs in America and Dinglewood Scrambledogs did not make the list... what America are they talking about!

HuffPOOPOO "headlie": "Mitt Romney Hosts A Sleepover With Marco Rubio And Chris Christie" -- "a sleepover"? Good grief.. is that what the HuffPOOPOO calls it when celebrities spend the night as guests of Obamageddon? At a minimum, the families of Marco Rubio and Chris Christie were invited to stay at the Romney home as their guests while the two candidates are in town for a 4th of July wingding.. at the most, they were in town for an all-night brain storming session.

---

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Obama Plans Broader Use Of Clemency To Free Nonviolent Drug Offenders" -- Good grief.. please explain how any addict is "nonviolent" when he/she desperately needs and seeks a fix?

---

HuffPOOPOO heqadline: "George Takei Apologizes For Calling Clarence Thomas A 'Clown In Blackface'" -- Good grief.. try to imagine how accepting of an apology the HuffPOOPOO would be if Trump made the same statement...

HuffPOOPOO story: "SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — The month of June saw 677 murders in El Salvador, more than in any other single month since the end of the country's civil war. * The first six months of this year have produced 2,965 murders compared with 1,840 murders during the same period last year. Violence has surged as the country's street gangs renewed their clashes with government forces and among themselves." -- Hmmm. and San Salvador's Constitution doesn't allow civilians to own guns unless they have a government issued permit.. how could this be happening? Hey Feinstein.. Obamageddon.. use your pen and phone.. write a new law.. yeah .. that'll stop it..NOT!

---

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Beyond Symbolism, Restoring Ties With Cuba Has Practical Benefits" -- Yeah,, Democrats can pass out legal Cuban cigars at their fundraisers.

WTVM 9 editorial: "When most of us shop at Walmart, we can count on a fairly routine shopping experience in familiar, safe surroundings. * But shoppers at a Macon Walmart were shocked a weekend ago when a rowdy crowd of teenagers ran through the store, tearing displays down, destroying merchandise and even pulling a disabled shopper from a motorized cart and throwing him to the ground. * Surveillance video showed the rampage was led by a teenager who later told a Walmart employee it was all planned and that they wanted to see how much damage they could do, and they did plenty." -- You know.. when someone speaks out about such an event as this and makes no mention of the race of the vandals, then it's a major statement that the speaker doesn't want to address the real issue...race..

Life as seen by a 3 year old is wondrous..When my grandaughter Sophia's mom told her it was time to take a bath and go to bed, Sophia looked at her and said with angst, "I have to go sleep..again?" Such is the wonderment that a 3-year old doesn't want to miss anything.

Poor Tiger ...even Nike is showing some lessening of support. Now Tiger's hat is labeled "Vapor". What we have to figure out whether it's about their new driver or the man who's swinging it.

---

I think I know what Tiger Woods' problem is..the announcers are trying so hard to create excuses for his decline, that Tiger is believing he's a victim of something other than himself.

How can mainscream media and the White House, and the DOJ condemn the Confederate flag when none of those entities has condemned the symbols of hate and intolerance of Nation of Islam, New Black Panther Party, NAACP, City of Baltimore, DOJ, LGBT or other non-inclusive organizations?

---

Online headline/story: "Princeton professor calls for killing disabled infants under Obamacare * According to an article published Sunday by World Net Daily, a Princeton University professor has suggested that severely disabled infants be killed to cut health care costs and for moral reasons" -- Hmmm.. and why are liberals concerned about this when they support unfortunately legal Partial-birth abortions.. you know, when a baby is turned around in the uterus, grabbed by the feet, pulled out until only the head is left in, then a needle is inserted into the babies brain to kill it?

---

Former VA Senator Jim Webb has joined the Democrat circus of candidates. Hmm, at least one of them now sounds a little bit like an American, and Hillewinsky's tactics of announcing early is not working to keep others out of the race.

---

The Hillewinsky spinmeisters are already at recently announced Democrat candidate Jim Webb's throat..One said Webb is simply out if step with the temperament of the current Democratic Party. Yeah..I can see that..he's almost in the center, and somewhat of a military supporter (not quite, but as close as a Democrat looking for Democratic voters) .

L-E's "Quotable": “The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves.” - William Hazlitt British author (1778-1830)" -- Hmmm, obviously an adage that does not hang on a wall at the Obamageddon White House.

---

Perhaps the "Declaration of Independence from 1776" needs a sequel event.. let's call it the "Declaration of Restoration of 2016"

---

L-E's "Online comment of the day": “Sweet to see the innocence of our youth waving their flags, and being so proud of their 4th of July!” —From “Donna McCroan” on “Spotted @ St. Luke God Bless America Parade” -- Please sadly note this was a private daycare facility.. not a MCSD or government run program.
