Watched some of the Fake News Political Shows this morning and continue to be amazed at how every question is asked in the most negative way. The Mainstream Media should be ashamed of itself – But the good news is that the USA is wise to your game of dishonesty and deception!

There they go again. The same motley crew who lied us into our war in Iraq are now pushing for a war with Iran. Despite the deaths, in the Iraq war, of thousands of US soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, a $2 trillion US taxpayer price tag, and no visible benefit, John Bolton and his ilk now want to repeat the colossal blunder and go to war with a country four times bigger than Iraq.

And what is the message here? Why are we “in love” with North Korea and talking about war with Iran? It’s simple. North Korea has the bomb and Iran doesn’t.

There could not be a bigger incentive to nuclearize than that.

Clearly, the Trump administration has no idea what it is getting into.

Re: “Trump will star in Fourth of July festivities”:

I hope everyone will choose to spend the Fourth of July this year in their own hometown or anywhere else except Washington, D.C. My husband and I look forward to watching the PBS broadcast of the “Capital Fourth” every year. We will not be watching any broadcast of the MAGA event in D.C.

My hope is the crowd turnout will be less than the 2017 inauguration. My husband’s response to this change from a unifying American event to a polarizing Trump campaign rally is, “Nuts!” This was a general’s response to a German request to surrender at Bastogne in World War II.

Evidently no one under the president is rising up against this change in an American celebration. It is up to the American public to register their indignation by not attending. Better than a large demonstration is just to not be there.
