"The 250th anniversary celebration has become about glorifying Donald Trump." Your observation is correct and so discouraging and sad. I was around for the 200th anniversary. To contrast that with this upcoming travesty...

I lived in DC in 1976 and I remember the excitement surrounding the Bicentennial and its events. It was joyous. I don't see much joy around 250.

I remember the excitement and fun surrounding the 200th anniversary celebration. Fifty years later we have an egotistical, bloated, dangerous man in the WH. There is no longer 3 equal branches of gov't. When will the madness end?

I appreciate you, John for your integrity & your sense of dignity that brings your reporting of our nation’s current events to light.

I think I read that the Senate didn’t pass that ‘Big Ugly Bill’ (my quote). I’m hoping for the light to keep shining brighter & we regain our democratic republic.
