Independence Day Rant: Toxic Queen Dodo Jasmine Crockett Lectures “America Owes Everything to Black Women”

Apparently, Toxic Queen Dodo Jasmine Crockett is desperately trying to stay relevant in Democrat circles after she lost to goofball Talerico in the Texas Senate primary.

That means this hateful idiot will not be back in DC next year after Texas Republicans altered the Congressional districts in the state. Certainly, MSNBC is saving a spot for this repulsive racist on their staff?

On America’s 250th Anniversary, Crockett lectured on the democratic contributions and inventions of black women. For that, Americans should honor specifically black women.

Via End Wokeness:

Jasmine Crockett: This Fourth of July, I say celebrate a Black woman that you know, because whether it’s an invention that she made or whether it’s the very democracy that still hangs by a thread right now, there is a Black woman to thank for her contributions.

When it comes to answering the question of what America owes Black women, the answer is everything. When we think about the sacrifices that Black women have made from the moment that we were stolen from our homelands and transported into this country.

Good Grief. Politico Laughably Kvetches About America 250 Fireworks Pollution – Fears Americans Won’t Mask Up for Show!

Do you remember when the media pretended to love America and the Fourth of July?

Those days are long gone.

The far-left crew over at Politico decided that the America 250 celebration — a record-setting fireworks show over the nation’s capital — was the perfect moment to whine about the environment.

And they did it with a straight face.

The tell is right there in the first word of the headline: “Trump plans record fireworks show, internal docs warn of smoky skies.”

Trump.

That’s the whole story.

NewsBusters nailed exactly what this is really about:

Substitute the name of any Democrat president such as Clinton or Obama or Autopen and the silly story by the Politico troika of Alex Guillen, Miranda Willson, and Ariel Wittenberg would have been nonexistent. Yes, they just can’t allow President Donald Trump to enjoy along with thousands of spectators what they consider to be a triumphal moment without raining on the parade. TDS is just that powerful, especially at Politico.

Then comes the thin veneer of concern.

Here is how the Politico team framed it, as quoted by NewsBusters:

Scientists have well documented the soot and heavy metal pollution that can spike severely in the wake of pyrotechnic displays, and the world-record-setting number of fireworks lined up for July 4 will mean an equally large jump in pollution, according to experts and internal NPS documents reviewed by POLITICO.

Soot. Heavy metals. Smoky skies.

Over fireworks.

On the Fourth of July.

It gets better. According to the same report, Politico frets that no one is telling Americans to mask up before watching the show…

There are no indications that the administration plans to suggest masking or other personal protection for revelers viewing the fireworks from the nation’s front lawn. And the Environmental Protection Agency said tracking the air quality impacts of the fireworks isn’t their jurisdiction.

Mask up… for fireworks.

As NewsBusters put it, any government warning to mask up — after the useless Covid mask warnings — would be rightly ignored and/or laughed at.

And here’s the punchline the Politico kvetch-fest was forced to admit itself. The scary pollution doesn’t even stick around.

The good news is that the dirty air doesn’t linger too long. One study found that particulate matter from July Fourth fireworks remained elevated for about 24 hours across 315 different monitoring sites. On average, the fireworks displays increased pollution by 42 percent. But after a day,

About 24 hours. Then it’s gone.

So the crisis is over before the leftover hot dogs are.

Face it. This was never about the air.

It was about Trump celebrating America’s 250th, with hundreds of thousands of Americans cheering along the National Mall, and a media that simply cannot stand the sight of it.

Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud: Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Fourth of July Video Message Exposes Plan to Remake America into Something ‘Different’

On the Fourth of July, as Americans celebrated the nation’s founding and independence, Minnesota’s Somali Congresswoman Ilhan Omar released a video message declaring how she wants to make America into something “different.”

In the video, Omar reflected on joining Congress not to preserve or strengthen the United States as it exists, but to help create “a different kind of neighborhood, city, and country.”

The video confirms that her priorities and allegiance are not with Americans.

Omar frames her election as part of a broader effort to reshape communities and the nation itself into something new and… foreign.

Conservatives immediately pointed out the irony of delivering an open admission that her agenda involves changing the country’s character rather than defending its founding principles as Americans celebrated the nation’s 250th birthday.

SoCal: Absolute Mayhem in Newport Beach as Non-Residents Brawl, Riot and Loot on July 4th – Grocery Store Destroyed, Bars and Beaches Closed

Absolute chaos erupted in Newport Beach, California, on Saturday night as non-residents visiting the peninsula brawled, rioted, looted, and destroyed a grocery store on the 4th of July.

Newport Beach Police were forced to close beaches and bars due to the mayhem.

Mounted police broke up a massive brawl on the beach just north of the Newport pier.

Additional footage shows a Pavillions grocery store completely destroyed after the rioters looted the place.

The out-of-towners ignored a directive by Newport Beach Police and launched mortars on the beach.

The California Post reported:

Fourth of July descended into mayhem across Southern California as unruly crowds overwhelmed packed-out fireworks displays, looted stores, ignited fires and saw cops charge on horseback.

The worst unrest erupted in Newport Beach, where Independence Day revelers poured into Orange County, choking traffic and triggering a police response as disorder spread near the pier.

Authorities ultimately shut down businesses from the Newport Pier to Pacific Coast Highway as officers moved in to restore order.

Officers were swarmed by hundreds of people who hurled bottles and other debris at them before the crowd turned on one another and began fighting.

Mounted officers rode horses into them to clear the area so additional arrests could be made.

Video from the scene also appeared to show the aftermath of the reported looting of a Pavilions grocery store in Newport Beach, with merchandise strewn across the parking lot while groups of people lingered outside the business, laughing and joking.

Patriot Front Agitprop Group Tries to Ruin America 250 Celebration in Washington

You may be familiar with the agitprop group called the Patriot Front. They always showed up at convenient times when the Democrats were in power, obviously to make it look like the right is nothing but khaki-wearing white supremacists akin to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).

Of course, this was before the arrival of the second Trump administration and its Department of Justice, which is presently investigating the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on allegations it was behind the funding and support of several real white supremacists and white supremacist groups, including the actual KKK.

More often than not, everyday conservatives on the X platform, along with well-known conservatives, will say the same thing about the Patriot Front. No one knows anyone involved in the group or who supports it. It’s not even clear what they’re trying to accomplish, or what they’re all about beyond a few chants designed to provide the impression this is the second coming of the KKK.

I mean no one. For this reason, the common refrain among conservatives is that this has to be a bunch of feds conducting an op that’s designed to try to smear the right.

With the Trump administration in charge of the intelligence community, specifically the FBI, people have assumed the reason we haven’t heard from the Patriot Front since Trump came back served as proof that the group consisted mostly of feds all along.

Joe Biden Receives Massive Blowback For Posting Anti-American Fourth of July Message on America’s 250th Celebration

Joe Biden received massive blowback for his anti-American Fourth of July message on the 250th celebration on Saturday.

In a message posted to social media, Biden (or his staffer) claimed America is just an idea.

Joe Biden also scolded Americans for not fully living up to the words in the Declaration of Independence.

Biden’s full statement:

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we’re all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We’re the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That’s always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it’s our turn.

There’s nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That’s not a burden. That’s what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven’t fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we’ve never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don’t believe we’re as divided as we’re told we are. I’ve bet my whole life on the American people, and I’m not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn’t finished. Let’s keep writing it together.

Joe Biden, July 4 Grinch, would now like to get his hands on your selfies

Apparently, someone in the White House came up with the idea of calling on the public to send in their Fourth of July celebration selfies based on what’s done during professional baseball games, where people put selfies on Twitter with a certain hashtag, (in San Diego, it’s #FriarFaithful) and then either see them retweeted by the sports organization to its huge followership and/or projected on one of the giant stadium screens during a live game. These things are fun, and everybody does them, I certainly have.

In Biden’s case, they’re less fun based on two realities — one is that Biden is going to use them to reap political hay for himself and his party, while his social media big tech allies are likely to use them for data-mining purposes. No thanks.

Can you imagine an evil schoolmaster issuing an either/or ultimatum and not getting what he wanted, and then asking you after he’s just threatened you for your selfies? Would definitely look creepy.

National Geographic Says 4th of July Fireworks Are Racist Because Smoke Disproportionately Affects Black People

National Geographic posted an unhinged and unscientific tweet on Independence Day saying fireworks are racist because they affect communities of color.

What complete BS.

This is what can be described as “scientism” and NOT “science.”
There is absolutely no proof to support this theory.

In fact, in cities like St. Louis and New York City, minorities shoot off guns on New Year’s Eve and the 4th of July. This is much more dangerous than sniffing fireworks smoke for a night.

The junk scientists behind this nonsense also did not take into consideration the thousands of communities, including rural towns, where fireworks are a 4th of July tradition. The people there are not affected by the smoke for some reason.

Illinois City Cancels 4th of July Parade Due To COVID, But Launches Juneteenth And LGBT Pride Events

The town of Evanston, Illinois, part of the Chicago metro area, has determined that there will be no physical July 4 celebration in 2021, however, a Juneteenth concert-style event and a LGBT pride “drive by parade” are offered by the city during the month of June.

On the Evanston4th.org website, the city notes that “Based on concern for public health due to the unpredictability of the pandemic’s impact, vaccination rates, and in cooperation with our local authorities, the Trustees of the Evanston Fourth of July Association voted to cancel the Fun Run, Parade, Palatine Concert Band performance and Lakefront Fireworks show on July 4, 2021.” Instead of a physical parade, the city is offering “a virtual celebration” that appears to be a series of videos played in rapid succession.

However, the new, left-wing sponsored version of Independence Day, known as Juneteenth, received a concert-style series of performance. According to the City of Evanston website, the event took place today – June 19 – in Ingraham Park, and featured “art, music, food and celebration” including three food trucks, two “muralists” and speakers or musical performances from a total of 9 individuals or groups. There is zero mention of COVID-19 or the pandemic on the web page.

Similarly, Evanston is set to offer a LGBT pride parade-style event, couched slightly due to the pandemic. Instead of a traditional LGBT pride parade, which often features facsimilies of sexual acts between same sex couples, often within direct view of young children, Evanston will instead have a sort of reverse-parade, in which residents decorate their homes or yards and vehicles drive by slowly to admire them. This event will be held on June 26 and will also feature “a community picnic and candle lighting and remembrance ceremony.”
