If we look in the rearview mirror we can still see Independence Day of 2020.  Independence Day, otherwise known as Fourth of July, celebrates a new country’s birth after its departure from the rule of England.



Adam Schiff's mentor, King George III
This exodus was due to many factors including religious and speech freedoms denied by England’s King George III.  Through the Revolutionary War, America rose from a far away land to the greatest nation on Earth.



Ten men, now called the Founding Fathers, gathered to write a set of rules for this new nation that began with Ten Amendments; those are now called the Bill of Rights, and pave the way for the entire Constitution of The United States of America.



Each year we celebrate this separation from England on July 4th, Independence Day.



Those Founding Fathers were men with true vision.  According to several sources, the average age was about 40-years, with some in their 20’s.  Alas, those sources were a bit thin on who was what age.



In any event, these ten men put their heads together and eventually created a document so thorough that is has outlasted the charter of any nation in the world by roughly 224 years.



You read that right.  According to The Heritage Foundation, “the average constitution lasts less than 20 years.”  That’s a mighty impressive achievement.



Fast forward to 2020, when much has changed in the world. 



 In May 2020, a fellow named George Floyd was killed by a dirty cop in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  The facts are still nebulous, but Floyd was wrestled during an encounter with police.  After a struggle ensued he was taken to the ground and was subjected to a “choke hold” by a cop.



Floyd died.  The cop was fired and arrested.  Protests began.  Looting occurred.  Fires were set.  Missiles were thrown at police.  The Minneapolis mayor lied about the mayhem.  And the media were happy to be complicit.



False narratives about the protests-turned-riots peppered the print and electronic media, with mayors from Minneapolis, New York City, Portland, Atlanta, and Seattle, all providing jaded accounts of the destruction occurring in their jurisdictions.



Using phrases such as “experiment in life,” and “Summer of Love,” were merely remains on a stable floor from equines eating their oats, of which both media and elected officials felt compelled to brag about – all dispensed by Democrat mayors and governors.



And those Leftist mayors and governors desperately tried to antagonize President Trump at the cost of law-abiding citizenry, to no avail.



Then, geniuses in Seattle who were not content with protesting and rioting decided to take over a six-block area of Seattle, Washington.



The Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan thought it would be sporting to poke President Donald Trump in the eye.  She publicly mocked him and his suggestion to send in federal troops to restore a sense of normalcy and public safety.  She told him to hide in his White House bunker.



It wasn’t long before this group of childish malcontents decided to pick a name for their newly established area (which they stole from – much like they insist the white man stole America from the Indians.)



Their thoughtful name was CHAZ, Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.  An agog media splashed that acronym proudly across newspaper headlines and on TV news screen crawls.  Still, they had no official leader.



A few short weeks later, CHAZ was changed to CHOP, Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, likely because “autonomous” was too difficult to spell.



These anarchistic nitwits realized they needed food to sustain their existence, so they raked up a small patch in a public park and planted some seeds.  Evidently they thought this was what Michael Bloomberg was referring to when he mocked farmers and farming.



Mayor Durkan’s Summer of Love fest soon turned deadly with several shootings and at least two murders and one rape, and with love rapidly draining from CHOP, only inane demands leaked from its proverbial sinking ship.



All this made me think about Independence Day and how we arrived at the greatest nation on Earth.



The miscreants in Seattle never came up with a Constitution, although they were about the same age as our Founding Fathers.  They failed to select a leader.  They had difficulty even naming their stolen property. 



In fact, the only things they did well were demonstrate their poor gardening skills and their collective low intelligence.



God Bless America!
