Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Reading the excuses of performers who have pulled out of our U.S. 250th birthday party is a joke. These people insist that they thought they were signing up for a non-partisan celebration, but have now decided (without any evidence) that it is a partisan program.
Give me a break.
What’s really going on is that these performers are Lefties and decided they wanted to stick it to Donald Trump, who initiated the event, by making up false excuses to bow out. They were probably getting flak from those people on the Left who don’t want anything to take place that is remotely connected to Donald Trump. They are all an embarrassment to this country.
What was the event supposed to entail? Here is a partial list of the activities that will take place. Here is another description of the events. There is nothing in these words that suggests partisan influence.
My biggest concern is that Leftist organizations may be determined to wreak havoc on the activities in June and July. They hate this country and would embrace any opportunity to denigrate it, our Founders and our legacy. I don’t know how far they would go in their disruption, but I expect huge crowds will be drawn to the grounds of the White House.
Let’s all hope and pray that people will rely on their patriotic conscience and honor this country for these events. It is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

The Left and Democrat party have come to hate this country. That is not going to stop my enjoyment.

The Democrat Party is on a wave of a Communist/Socialist agenda that is more than an embarrassment. It is a betrayal of birthright for those born here.

Good for you, Don. Nor will it stop my celebrating!!

How do you take a non-partisan event and make it partisan? One half of the political spectrum withdraws or fails to show up. Voilà! Partisan event — just as we (the boycotting side) said!

I do want to say that all the scheduled events are not my cup of tea, but the booths representing the 50 states sound wonderful! And a Garden for 250 heroes. This will be grand!
