  1. “Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the Democrats believe every day is April 15th.” (Ronald Reagan)

    Beware, the money grubbers were sticking their schnozolas deep into the US Taxpayer feed trough even back then and they are now emboldened more than ever because of Joe Biden and his Violent Radical Left Cash Grabbers. They want every penny of our money, then we want for us to voluntarily jump off a cliff. This is not an exaggeration.

  2. San Francisco and Los Angeles the best place to “celebrate July 4th”?

    Wallet Hub (whatever that is) is daft. Wave the Stars and Stripes in either place and you’re likely to get beaten. Then the DA will deem criminals are the victim and you’ll be arrested for disturbing the peace.

    “Well sir, if you hadn’t antagonized that mob of violent ANTIFA thugs with your displays of patriotism, they wouldn’t have beaten the daylights out of you.”
