The MagaLeft’s hatred of Rand Paul is stupud and proves they are stupud and unithinkers and (insert many additional derogatory terms and insults here). He is right on budgets and spending and separation of power and was right about Fauci being a liar.

Not that the military shouldn't be included, but the celebrations we had in 1976 mostly featured the history of the people and culture that made this country what it is. Here is what I found on a google search:

The Bicentennial, marking the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, was celebrated in 1976 with a wide array of events and festivities across the United States.

- Cities and towns across the nation held parades featuring patriotic displays and marching bands. Fireworks displays, particularly on the Fourth of July, were a major highlight, with President Ford presiding over a large display in Washington, D.C.
- Many communities organized reenactments of historical events, like the Boston Tea Party, and created historical exhibits to showcase the nation's past.
- A large international fleet of tall-masted sailing ships gathered in New York City and Boston, marking a significant maritime celebration.
- The Bicentennial wasn't just a single, unified event; celebrations were tailored to local communities and interests, reflecting the diversity of the nation. Some sources note that the event was framed as a family celebration to highlight the unity and diversity of the nation.
- A special train carrying historical artifacts toured the country, making stops in various cities.

Here is what the parade looked like in D.C. in 1976:

• It was called the "Happy Birthday USA: Bicentennial Parade," produced in July 1976.
• It featured a diverse range of participants, including military units (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard), civilian marching bands, and colorful floats.
• The event drew a large crowd of spectators, with an official estimate of 500,000 people turning out to watch the parade.
• The parade featured over 50 bands, numerous floats, and 90 marching units.
• It traveled down Constitution Avenue.
• The parade also included a flyover of military aircraft, including World War II-era planes and Army helicopters, and appearances by mounted soldiers.
• Johnny Cash served as the Grand Marshal.
• The parade was attended by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, who were on a state visit during the Bicentennial.

Have the flyovers, but let's just have military units, floats, and bands instead of tanks in the streets. We do that the best.

Before last Saturday I think the last tank in the streets of a U.S. city may have been when that nutcase rampaged through a town in 2004.

If nothing else, you have to respect his engineering skills.

Donald Trump's having a meltdown over his failed birthday parade. He's "reaming out" Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and blaming the soldiers themselves.

"He’s pissed off at the soldiers," Trump biographer Michael Wolff told The Daily Beast Podcast. "He’s accusing them of hamming it up, and by that, he seems to mean that they were having a good time, that they were waving, that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face."

Apparently, the so-called president was hoping for a "menacing" display but instead got a "festive" parade for the Army's 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday. Meanwhile, the "No Kings" protests swept the country as millions took to the streets to protest his brutal ICE crackdowns and authoritarian policies.

The military parade was deeply underwhelming and the consensus outside of the Fox News bubble was that the soldiers were marching out of step, the audience turnout was low, and the entire affair had a depressing air about it.

"He kind of reamed out Hegseth for this," said Wolff. "Apparently, there was a phone call, and he said to Hegseth, the tone was all wrong. Why was the tone wrong? Who staged this? There was the tone problem. Trump, he keeps repeating himself."

"It didn’t send the message that he apparently wanted, which is that he was the commander in chief of this menacing enterprise," Wolff explained.

The administration reacted as they always do whenever Wolff strikes a nerve, accusing him of being a "lying sack of sh*t" with a "sick and warped imagination" and a "case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain."

Imagine if that money had instead been spent on providing health care for veterans.

A folk hero? Hell no. Folk heroes don't destroy half a town and than kill themselves.

I mean, the entire story of that thing makes it pretty clear he was never a reasonable man.

He was, until he couldn't be any longer.

Seriously and the dumb memes aside, what I've seen and read is that the whole sewer thing was unreasonable and it went to the point where the guy snapped. He seemed to work the process until the process failed him.

Guy hooked up to city sewer voluntarily and then kept using a cement mixer as a makeshift shitter for years. No, it wasn't the government being unreasonable. He was just suffering from a giant messiah complex.

The buried cement mixer as a septic tank was already there when he bought the property at auction. When he wanted to hook up to the sewer system, the city denied it and said put in a septic system. He tried to get the property annexed to no avail. While he was ham handed, he was still trying get hooked to the sewer. He never did hook up to the city sewer. He got in trouble for pumping it into a ditch when buried cement truck finally filled up some 9 years into the dispute.

There are lots of examples of people going off the deep end like that when they feel they've been screwed over. Tony Kiritsis should ring a bell to people.

9 years into the dispute

Key phrase. He could have resolved it long before then. The people who bought the property from him had it hooked up to city sewer in like a day. This was on him.
