Watching World Cup. Soccer players flop more than NBA players.

these aren’t from tonight but it’s the same every year so happy fourth from san francisco, home of the most colorful fog in all the land 🙃🇺🇸🧨

The Golden Gate Bridge was supposed to be the star of San Francisco’s Fourth of July fireworks show Saturday night. For many spectators, the city’s famous fog stole the show instead.

On 4th of July, 2026, I mourn that we forever lost our continuous peaceful transfer of US Presidential power, from President George Washington through all the Presidents until, on January 6, 2021 DJT broke his oath to preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Sad💔

We celebrate America's 250 Our “land of the free” Yet freedoms are leaking thru every seam we see. The people’s house shines like a royal throne The Statue of Liberty weeps as fear chills every immigrant bone If we want this union to endure much longer The chorus of resistance must grow stronger.💪🏻🗽

“The notes I write are only a quiet sigh compared to the magnificent symphony written by nature.”

This time next year Trump will be undergoing his third impeachment. Let’s raise a glass to that. 🍸

On July 4th every year, the Boston Pops Orchestra performs Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” with real cannons, as the composer did in 1882.

🥹😭

There’s probably nothing more unpatriotic a person can do than descend on The Capitol with Confederate flags

Switzerland mandated in 2023 that all new buildings exceeding 300 square metres of roof area must install solar panels covering a minimum percentage of that surface — the most aggressive building-integrated solar mandate in continental Europe #ActOnClimate #SolarPower #Renewables

Actions speak louder than words. 🎵🖤

Happy Fourth of July from Willie and me!

Back to back chicken shack, Son of a gun, better change your act, We're all confused, what's to lose? You can call this song the United States Blues. 4th of July at the Sphere with The Dead. Happy Birthday America.

Patriotism isn't about building walls, punishing immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, attacking the press, or dividing us by race & faith. True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."

Some things do not need to be loud to be powerful. Some things do not need sunlight to bloom. Let this be your quiet reminder: You can grow even in the dark. Quiet things are wild and wise—like blooming beneath a shadowed sky.

Trump: “Our American ancestors did not shed their blood just so that a band of thieves, radicals and lunatics could come in and loot, pillage our nation.”

Ironically, the Freedom 250 “Salute to America” event on the National Mall was postponed, with attendees evacuated to the African American History Museum.

Favorite photo from this morning’s tall ships parade

Best Day Ever 🙌

Patriots aren’t afraid to show their faces over their beliefs….

In late June, 2016, Mom and I flew w/ Dad's ashes from Seattle to France to spread them at his favorite place there. On the way back, we met up with Family in New York and were lucky enough to be on a boat on the East River for the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks show. It was AWESOME!!

Don’t let the radical left commies con you. Mitch McConnell is fine and having the time of his life at America 250. He’s just waiting for his beloved bride, Elaine, to return from China after a few financial transactions.

He’s shitting all over everything! He shits his pants He shits on our constitution He shits on our rights He shits on policy & procedures He shits on our reputation, legacy & future. He shits on our allies. You name it he shits on it! He’s a complete mental deficient POS.

This Country is being looted every day by a bunch of crooks whose leader is Donald Trump.

I don’t need an Independence Day message from Donald Trump. The day he pardoned the first J6 insurrectionist, he forfeited any claim to patriotism.

Some folks here could take notes.

American exceptionalism is that we are a melting pot, and that melting pot makes us stronger. Today in Seattle, I celebrated our nation’s 250th anniversary with 252 new U.S. citizens.

Happened to catch a Fox News segment on how much Foreign visitors for the World Cup are raving about the US. Of course, no where in it did they mention that 10 of the 11 Host Cities are Blue to VERY Blue. 😀

Boat-billed heron Found in the southern tips of Mexico and S and C South America They are highly nocturnal spending daylight hours roosting in mangrove trees, emerging in the dark to stalk and scoop fish and instincts from shallow Waters.

The town fireworks display here is on Wednesday. I don't see how it can compare to what the neighbors have been shooting off since the sun went down. Plus they haven't let a thunder and lightening rainstorm stop them like it would the town.

here in Seattle it’s 71 degrees, the mountain is out, there’s a breeze, the birds are singing, not a cloud in the sky. Just sayin man I think He hates you

IMPEACH CONVICT REMOVE chanting in the streets of DC I stand with Major Jason Watson youtu.be/eVNtd5ghwVw?...

Happy Independence Day, from the god Jack Handey.

He’s not even in office anymore and he’s still more presidential than the man who is.

#TODAY Largest veteran led action since Vïetnam about to step off in #Phïlly. There is no organized resistance against rising authoritarianïsm in this country‼️ #Freedom #Fäscism #PA

In case you haven't seen this today.

STAY SAFE STAY COOL HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY 250 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Now that Trump is warning us about Communists on a daily basis, maybe MAGA will learn where Russia is. (silly me...)
