[It appears that the pro-abortion Left is continuing to violate laws and practice violence in demonstrating its opposition to the SCOTUS ruling that overturned Roe v Wade. Compare the coverage of these protests on the various ideologically oriented media outlets. None of the protesters seem to know what the ruling really said and how it preserves democracy in the land. gjr]

Perhaps you should write him and ask yourself. Former presidents frequently respond to letters sent and he certainly, not counting his time on the links, has the time to respond.

“But in all seriousness, you know in your heart, Fourth of July fireworks are amazing, especially when you are standing in 90° heat, 100% humidity, next to 100,000 of your closest friends,” the statement continued. “In that moment, something takes over and we all become united in an inexplicable bond. Yes, America is in strife right now, but you know what…we already bought the fireworks.”
“The city of Orlando sincerely regrets the negative impact our words have had on some in our community,” the city said. “We understand these words offended some of our residents, which was not our intent.

We take pride in celebrating the 4th of July to express our gratitude to those men and women and honor the country we live in.”
