Macy's Fireworks show is the usual garbage with some extra "woke"ness this year
July 4, 2020 | Vanity

Posted on 07/04/2020 6:20:49 PM PDT by Stravinsky

Just caught a few minutes of it. Some young, black activist talking about the nation needing to work on its promises followed immediately by "Lady A" (Gee, they get picked shortly after they sided with the left and dropped the Antebellum. I'm sure that's just a coincidence...). Now it's the Black Eyed Peas. Won't be watching a second more. Usual pop culture trash with an extra serving of leftist nonsense. No thanks.

Definitely a woke fest but it’s gotten slightly better. The Tim McGraw performances are great.

A Capitol Fourth on PBS (yes I know) just had Ray Charles performance of “God Bless America” from 2000.

Awesome

You should have been watching RSBN. The display at the Capital was awesome. And, no PC bullcrap.

A Capitol Fourth is always great.

Although there is some politics included there this year too. This woman is wearing a shirt that I suspect says Black Lives Matter on it. You can see just enough of some of the letters.

I prefer the Macy's Thanksgiving parade with Woody Woodpecker.

An evening with Kramer in Anytown USA for fireworks on the 4th is nice and relaxing, though. Even serene.

Isn’t Macy’s going bankrupt?

In addition to the NBC/Macy's Leftist BS, ABC played a two-hour episode of the ESPN show 30 for 30 going through the entire history of the Soviet men's hockey team. The episode culminated in how tragic the Miracle on Ice was for that team, including interviews with players from that team. This is what ABC thought was appropriate for Independence Day.

You should see the show that is going on across the valley from me right now. At least a dozen individual displays and one municipal show. The poor little dog is quaking in her thundershirt.

I was walking with my family in the park today.
I looked at a man holding a toddler upside down and thought: I hope that guy doesn’t drop the child on his head.
I took a few more steps, had a better look and thought: I hope my Brother-In-Law doesn’t drop his child on his head.

We endured about half an hour of the Macy propaganda fest before switching to A Capitol Fourth.

Excellent performers, especially the Ray Charles encore!
