Praising the Lord for this second chance, for America. đșđž đđ»
LOVE, love, love Karoline’s MAGA minute!
She gives an AWESOME summary of all of the week’s WINNING!!
Thank you for that link, Lakeshark.
I need to send this to my lib cousin ... hee hee ... it’s so short and sweet and chock full of MAGA accomplishments. Who could NOT love all of this? Well, America Last peeps, that’s who.
Do you think the WH and Treasury barricades might be up for 4th of July festivities?
Here’s a breakdown of happenings, for the Fourth ... sorry about the source (WaComPost) but it’s the best breakdown I could find, on short notice :-) Ignore the CNN mention, also đ€Ł
The Fourth of July is one of the busiest days of the year in Washington, with events on and around the National Mall running for more than 12 hours. Hereâs how to live Independence Day to the fullest.
9 a.m.: The party starts at the National Archives, where Constitution Avenue NW is closed between Seventh and Ninth streets. Quantico Marine Band and the Crossroads Brass Band perform on the outdoor stage.
10 a.m.: A ceremony with speakers and a performance of Revolutionary War music by the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps leads into a dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence, with actors portraying Thomas Jefferson, John and Abigail Adams, John Hancock, and other historic figures. (Feel free to boo King George III when they list the ârepeated injuries and usurpationsâ against the colonies.)
11 a.m.: Family events take over the Archives, where kids can participate in scavenger hunts, put their own John Hancock on a copy of the declaration and make crafts. The Archives museum is also open if you want to see the original document. See archivesjuly4.org for a full schedule of the morningâs events.
11:45 a.m.: The National Independence Day Parade begins at Seventh Street and Constitution Avenue. Conveniently, if youâre at the Archives, you donât have to move and might even have a seat on the building steps. The parade features giant balloons, floats, marching bands from across the country, military units, equestrian teams and dance groups, and takes about two hours for all groups to cross the finish line at 17th and Constitution. No tickets are required, but seating is limited.
After the parade: Itâs time for lunch. In a recent review of museum cafes, Post restaurant critic Tom Sietsema suggested heading for Mitsitam Native Foods Cafe at the National Museum of the American Indian, where dishes like Peruvian chicken and bison chili make for âone of the most restorative meal breaks on the Mall.â
After fueling up: The Smithsonian Folklife Festival fills the Mall between Seventh and 12th streets, with some events taking place inside the Arts and Industries Building. This yearâs theme is âYouth and the Future of Culture,â and the July Fourth schedule includes readings by national youth poet laureates; ceramics workshops for teens; screenings of short films from the Montgomery County Youth Media Festival; talks about lowrider culture or building a future in the music business; and an evening performance by Americana groups from Hawaii, Southern California and Vermont. The festival is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. A full schedule is available at festival.si.edu, and our advice is to make a plan: Some activities have limited capacity.
1 p.m.: Kids 10 and older can earn a Fourth of July Junior Ranger Badge while participating in âOperation Independence,â a family-friendly scavenger hunt around the Washington Monument grounds that teaches about spy techniques used during the Revolutionary War. Pick up a booklet at the Sylvan Theater before 8 p.m.
3 p.m.: Gates open for âA Capitol Fourth,â the concert held on the U.S. Capitolâs West Front. The music doesnât begin until 8 p.m., but youâll want to leave plenty of time to enter and find a spot to spread your blanket, as lines can be long and all visitors and their bags and coolers have to go through security screening. As a reminder, food and low beach chairs are allowed, but alcohol and glass bottles are not. Also, there is a dress rehearsal for the concert on July 3 that is open to the public and begins at the same time. More information is available at pbs.org/a-capitol-fourth.
5:30 p.m.: CNNâs âThe Fourth in Americaâ features broadcasts of musical performances from cities across the country, including Washington. Freedom Plaza is the site of performances by the War and Treaty and the U.S. Air Force Band, though the exact times arenât confirmed.
8 p.m.: The âCapitol Fourthâ concert begins. This yearâs performers include the National Symphony Orchestra, Choral Arts, and military units such as the U.S. Army Band and the U.S. Army Chorus, as well as guest stars. Expect a mix of patriotic tunes, classical crowd-pleasers like the â1812â Overture and familiar pop hits. The music keeps playing through the fireworks.
9:09 p.m.: Fireworks are launched from the sides of the Reflecting Pool, between the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, and continue for more than 17 minutes. The National Park Service closes the area around the Reflecting Pool, with other locations, such as the area around the World War II Memorial and the D.C. War Memorial, closing at different times throughout the day. (A map of closed and restricted areas is on the Park Serviceâs website.) The public has to go through security screening to access some popular viewing points, including the Washington Monument grounds and the Lincoln Memorial, while watching from the Mall near the Smithsonian is unrestricted. Whatâs the best viewing location? We wish we could give you a concrete answer, but how well youâll be able to see the fireworks depends on a number of factors, including humidity and the direction of the wind. Some years, people viewing from Arlington or the Wharf have better views than those on the Mall.
9:30 p.m.: The fireworks are finished. If youâre taking the Metro home, try to use any station other than Smithsonian, which can be temporarily closed if (and when) the platforms become overcrowded. If possible, walk to stations like LâEnfant Plaza, Federal Triangle, Federal Center SW or Archives-Navy Memorial and get your train there.

I’ll put your Swamp List right up there with the weather rock and the Arkansas reading test.
The FR crones impatiently try to force their simplistic agenda on the most productive President in the history of the Republic
Their failure is tribute to the brilliance of the President
â How is everything in the great state of FL?â
Living in Florida is awesome. Not only do we have a great government which enforces the law and takes care of everyone in events such as hurricanes, but it is just a beautiful place to live. Iâve already been walking for an hour today. Soon I will be going for a gentle swim. Later today, I will go to church.
Never thought I’d say this, but winter is now my favorite time of year. Its all due to Florida weather!! And the shelling is the best in winter!!. đđđ
CONGRESSMAN KEVIN KILEYâS, âNO TAX DOLLARS FOR RIOTSâ legislation, should be passed immediately. I am hereby instructing my Administration not to pay ANY money to these radicalized groups, regardless of the legislation. They get paid to incite riots, burn down or destroy a city, then come back to the trough to get money to help rebuild it. NO MORE MONEY!!!
WHY ARE THE DEMOCRATS ALWAYS ROOTING AGAINST AMERICA???
WHAT GREAT PEOPLE I MET AT NATO, INCLUDING SOME OF THE WORLDâS MOST INCREDIBLE LEADERS!
>>>Good morning, Lakeside Granny.
Sharing more POTUS Truths.
Sorry to have vanished mid-day yesterday.
POTUS and a few other things exhausted me; been sleeping most to the time. Hope to be rejuvenated for another great MAGA week, when we have the Inaugural Rally in Iowa to celebrate our 250th Birthday plus everything else.
Can’t wait to see Maria’s Interview tomorrow morning,
Wishing you & All our FRiends a wonderful weekend.
I dare all of us to pen this letter and sign it, mail it and demand action.
I thought maybe Penguin Six in his latest video would give an explanation for the fencing going up already.
He didn’t.
It must be for the 4th of July.
Body language of many of the enemy media is so aggressive and hostile. They could learn from people like Nancy Pelosi, who seem to have learned to stop pointing. Watch them squeeze their fingers together, aiming them at themselves. I believe they have been trained to stop the aggressive finger pointing.
The Idea of a stabbing finger pointing motion while I am asking a question or having a discussion with someone would never enter my mind. It is very hostile.
Send it, IM!!
We need an explanation.
We are trying to be patient but gee, for how long?
Good morning, edie!
Thanks for posting the President’s latest TRUTHS.
Keeping up with our President and trying to do what one needs to do in life IS exhausting.
Never feel bad when you need to get more rest.
Your health and wellbeing are the most important things.
Go start your own thread, bert.
