This shooting happened at 1:30 a.m. The youths have a "safe environment" at 1:30 a.m. It's called "home." The honest question is how much longer will the city and activists blame "the community" for other people's failure to have their children home at 1:30 a.m.?

...And, no, her hot take does not make us feel less jingoistic. We know exactly what the Fourth of July is — It's right there at the top of the document! — even though she seems to think people who enjoy the holiday are too stupid to understand.

We would like to apologize to the Fun Police for having an absolute *blast* this weekend. 🇺🇸🧨 Just kiddin' We're not apologizing for anything. Can't wait for #251!

I understand the compunction around celebrating America’s 250th. But perhaps some would feel less jingoistic if they remembered that July 4th is a promise, not a victory. It didn’t mark a decisive battle or a coronation. It was a declaration that we would fight tyranny.
