King George Would Have Been Royally Impressed

Patriotic American

This is July 4th, 2025, the 249th anniversary of the signing of our nation's Declaration of Independence as our founding fathers and mothers began the arduous process of securing our freedom from the political and economic control of Great Britain and its tyrannical King George III.  

Today is also the 199th anniversary of the death of Thomas Jefferson, the man who was the principal author of the Declaration as well as one of its signers, and the 199th anniversary of the death of John Adams, another signer of that hallowed document.  After helping to secure the independence of our fledgling nation, John Adams went on to become its second President, and Jefferson was the third President of the young country.

While millions of Americans are celebrating Independence Day with family outings, backyard barbecues, pool parties, fireworks, and countless other festivities, Don Trump is busy celebrating by signing his Big Ugly Bill that will take health insurance away from millions of his fellow countrymen (including children and society's most vulnerable), and subsequently lead to the closure of hundreds of rural hospitals - except possibly in Alaska, remove school lunches from the grasp of millions of children, end supplemental nutrition assistance for many Americans with what looks to be a goal of permanently ending the SNAP program across the nation.  

And those are just some of the headline items.  The bill also permanently lowers taxes for the wealthiest Americans - including billionaires like Trump, who have not paid their fair share of income taxes since Eisenhower was in the White House, and it will increase the national debt over the next decade by more than three trillion dollars.

Happy birthday, America!

Trump will sign his tax-relief-for-the-rich bill at 5:00 p.m. (EDT) in the White House while a contingent of US warplanes (B-2's, F-22's, and F-35's) fly overhead, perhaps to make up for the flop of a military parade that Trump gave himself on his birthday last month.  How much will toady's military circus cost us, Donbo?  And will you still be golfing in Florida on the people's dime again  this weekend? 

It's not about us, the American people.  It's never been about us.  It's always about him.

King George would have been royally impressed!
