243= 3*3*3*3 . Interesting anniversary.
I’m 20 minutes away and it just started pouring rain and the thunder is booming. I hope people are prepared this is the worst I can remember in years for rain on the 4th.
dropped this —— *3
3*3*3*3*3 , oops.
Clouds and sun, humid; a heavy t-storm in the p.m.; storms will be slow moving and bring heavy rain
Hope it clears! Have a good 4th!
Why should I watch offensive singers? All they have turned out in the past few years are Anti-American haters promoting their latest song. I’m not interested in RAP, POP, or what ever crap you sing.
Try some Patriotic music and Skits.

The colonists who came through danger to these shores in the 17th Century understood what lack of religious freedom meant; they understood what it was like for themselves and their kin to labor and have the fruits of their labors confiscated; they had understood the denigration associated with not being able to express deeply-held convictions and religious beliefs; and they longed to be free from the burdens of oppressive government.
At any rate, they came to America, and without any government in that vast wilderness to command them, to advise them, to restrict them, they played out their role in what has been called "the making of America," or, by others, "the miracle of America."
Just think of it: from 1620 or so until 1775, individual colonists who survived the harsh conditions in their new land had established an economy that was feeding the Old World.
If any do not believe that, they have not read Edmund Burke's Speech of Conciliation . . . delivered before the British Parliament in 1775.
Every Democrat and Republic leader today needs to read Burke's summary of the unheard-of economic achievements of that British Colony known as "the Americans."
What does all this have to do with Trump and the reluctant Republicans and the resistant Democrats?
Well, if they understood how and what the Years 1775 and 1776 meant, and how that band of strangers in a relatively new society dealt with the situation they found themselves in, and how they responded to courageous and outspoken fellow citizens who appealed to their love and desire for individual freedom and prosperity, then perhaps we could break this cultish and stupid ideology which self-identifies as being "Progressive," when, in fact, it is the most oppressive ideology to take root in the minds of American citizens! It is so oppressive that if allowed to continue, such authoritarian and group-think control will destroy the Constitutional Republic the men and women of 1776 and 1787 left to us and all of humanity.
"“Posterity! you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it.” - John Adams, letter to Abigail, his wife
Radar is showing severe T Storms. Right next to DC to the south south east.
George M Cohen, Darryl Whorley, Lee Greenwood, Trace Adkins, Jamie Johnson, Arron Trippin so many who do Patriotic songs and skits, they could re-do Red Skeleton’s Pledge, Johnny Cash’s Ragged Old Flag. Military bands with each branch’s song. Finish up with Elvis’s Trilogy.
Keep your politics, queer crap out of the 4th.
I’m 71 next month, I remember the good skits, songs. Wife of Ret. SCPO.
243 = 3 to the 5th power
Three branches of government (sorry Schomer, AOC ;-)
And- a fifth column = = MSM
