Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell posted this on Twitter, which I thought was nice. Especially after all the ignoramuses out there, unfamiliar with history, decided that the Betsy Ross flag was somehow a racist symbol.
Why should I be surprised? Anything and everything can now be assumed to be racist. It’s getting tiresome, and accomplishes nothing, nothing at all.

Much has been made of Kamala Harris’s attack on Joe Biden in the Democrat Debates. Biden slipped way down in the polls, and Harris’s carefully rehearsed attack advanced her standing.
In her blast at Joe Biden, she claimed that:
Two decades after Brown v. Board, I was only the second class to integrate at Berkeley public schools. Without that decision, I likely would not have become a lawyer and eventually be elected a Senator from California.
That’s the power a Supreme Court Justice holds.
In political jargon, that’s called “playing the race card”, but personal experience makes it even more important. The Gateway Pundit clears the air a little, explaining that Kamala’s parents were successful professionals. Kamala went to school in Berkeley for only 2 years. She moved with her mother to Canada at age 7, where she completed grade school and high school.
Then a little checking confirms that classrooms in the Berkeley public schools were integrated in 1963— a year before Kamala was born. Ooops!
Getting caught in downright lies to the American people is not usually helpful in a race for the presidency. You don’t get a pass just because it’s a debate.

President Trump’s Fourth of July speech was excellent. Democrats extended every effort to disparage, demean and dump on the occasion, but it was a very good, very patriotic speech from the Lincoln Memorial, honoring the service of all branches of our military who have served and saved the nation over the years since our founding. I have seven ancestors who fought in the Revolution, and two died, one was a leader of a group of Minute Men who was killed at the Battle of Bridgeport, and a great (6th I think) grandmother who was killed when a troop of Hessians broke into the house looking for her husband. She was still abed recovering from childbirth, and so frightened she jumped out of the window, fell into the well, and drowned.
During the speech as each branch of the service was honored, there was a flyover from that branch of the service, ending with the Blue Angels.We usually see them once a year here at Seafair, and the cranks complain about the noise, and the rest celebrate as the “sound of freedom.” They always put on a spectacular close formation show.
For those of you who might have missed it:
It was a speech of national pride, a celebration of America, and not political at all. Unfortunately,celebrating America has become political.
And the unfortunate campaign among the Democrats for their party’s nomination seems to have devolved into the idea that the nomination will go to whoever can come up with the biggest insult to President Trump. Strange indeed, but that seems to be where we are.
