America 250th anniversary this year !

[Yvonne Smith]

We will probably be seeing more about the celebrations being planned for this summer, so I am starting a thread for this very special Independence Day celebration for our country.
One of the things I have been reading is that new paper money coming out will have President Trump’s signature on it, and maybe for more than just this year, I am not sure how long it lasts.

Today is the President’s 80th birthday ………Happy Birthday, President Trump !
We are having more celebrations for both the 250th anniversary and the president’s birthday at the White House today.

I am patriotic and look forward to the July 4 celebrations. I need to get our flag out and see if it's still in acceptable condition to fly.

As for Trump, I hope he has a happy healthy birthday. But I am really tired of his ego and putting his name on every thing in Washington. I'm actually glad to see them taking "Trump" off of Kennedy Center. Not everything belongs to him, and it's tiresome and irritating to me that he is so pompous and egotistical. Is he going to try to rename the entire country before his term is up? Will I be living in the United States of Trump? So ridiculous.

It is also Flag day too!

I can't believe how many celebrities refuse or have backed out of participating in the celebration of our 250th anniversary of this country. Especially, when they are Americans. Even with all the problems America may have, I think it is still the best country to live in. If it wasn’t, why would others try to come live here?

I agree , it has maybe gone overboard, but not all of them were done by the president. Governors and other heads of companies have made some of those decisions.
But we do not need his name on everything, including all of the $100 bills.
However, I prefer it over the LGBTQ stuff that Biden was doing at the White House and in every national celebrations planned day; so there is that consideration.

It is still or will be again a pretty good place to work, raise a family and retire. All you have to do is go through the numbers of the monthly visa bulletin on travel.state.gov.

To me it seems like a lot of performers or personalities are coming out of the woodwork to have a minute of fame. Peddle your trade and stay in your swim lane please.
