It’s that time of year again when fireworks light up the sky, celebrating the birth of a nation so magnificent that even the left can’t resist its charms, despite their puzzled expressions on the Fourth of July. Celebrating Independence Day has now become an act of right-wing extremism, akin to inviting a Trump supporter over for a backyard barbecue. One can only imagine the horror of opening the front door to a red hat-wearing patriot during family time, complete with the firecrackers of political discord.
Of course, the Fourth of July isn’t just about explosive displays of pyrotechnics—it’s also a chance for some to dust off grievances older than the Declaration of Independence. After all, why just enjoy a slice of apple pie under a shower of fireworks, when you can instead reflect on historical injustices while questioning how you benefit from the “labor of black people”? Just as a fun beach day demands awareness of one’s carbon footprint, a good Independence Day celebration necessitates a comprehensive audit of generational privilege—or so the thought leaders suggest.
Meanwhile, back in the world of leaders who lead, President Trump has given us another reason to celebrate with his big, beautiful bill, though the article does not specify the amount pumped into ICE’s coffers. How heartwarming to know that while some folks fret over inclusive barbecue invitations, others are working hard to ensure that America remains a strong, secure fortress against the relentless tide of cultural ‘pollution’ attempting to wash ashore.
Of course, not all is rosy on this celebratory weekend. The beaches of San Diego face contamination warnings, but there is no confirmation from the sources provided that it comes from Mexico’s sewage. Yes, it seems Mexico’s landfill overflow is taking the scenic route to American shores, ensuring that even the richest enclaves can’t enjoy an unadulterated splash in the Pacific. Oh, how progressive! Sharing is caring, right?
Adding to the comedy of errors, tech mogul Elon Musk throws his brand of high-octane political chaos into the mix, allegedly hinting at a new political venture, though no “American Party” is confirmed in the sources. Because the solution to bipartisan gridlock is adding yet another car to the political demolition derby. Musk, with all his whimsical spontaneity, might just recalibrate American politics—yet, who can say for sure? One thing’s clear: as long as outspoken freedom fans and million-dollar budgets are circulating, there will be plenty to celebrate next year. If only we could promise to keep the politics out of it. But alas, it’s America—it wouldn’t be any fun that way.
