America250

I only found this out recently, so some of you may also be unaware. 

This July 4th is our semiquincentennial (that's 250th). And now that I've been seeing things about it, I wondered about who was organizing this thing. Turns out that ten years ago a bipartisan congressional committee was formed to organize the celebrations. 

Here's the official website. 

Very forward thinking of them. Very organized. They're ready to go. 

But, a certain someone who has to be the center of everything signed an executive order to create his own little party. (Here's an article explaining this.) It's called Freedom 250. And we get to ignore it.

Because the official celebration stuff is America250. 

(That concert that was announced? And then all the acts backed out? Yeah, that was the fake celebration.) 

I hope this clears things up.

    I knew there was going to be a big celebration because Las Vegas has been shooting off fireworks a few times in the past couple of weeks.

    I had heard of this. Yes, it’s confusing and I think it’s intentional that it is confusing, also. I am not going to let that man destroy my joy and celebrating this birthday
