Reflections From a Murky Pond

The 4th Is Also National Grillin’ Day

The 4th of July isn’t just Independence Day. It’s also, unofficially but truly in general practice, national grillin’ day, when people of all sorts and stripes either grill or attend cookouts where someone is grillin’.

I, personally think that the grillin’ is the best part, or damn close to it, of the 4th’s celebrations. But then, I grill at least once a week, almost every week of year. Well, that and I’m not a fan of night filled with fireworks.

Some Bits Of Advice

One, while the grill is far, far, far more often than not a Man’s Zone, if you can find a woman who loves grillin’, Put. A. Ring. On. Her. Wife her right the fuck up!

Two, do not be that asshole. If your woman pre-prepped all the meats and vegetables, possibly including deciding upon and applying the marinades and/or rubs; and/or she made all the sides, desserts, and whatnot, DO. NOT. TAKE. CREDIT. FOR. THIS FEAST! It was a joint venture, one in which she did the bulk of the work, leaving you to apply your specific skillset to properly applying fire and smoke to food. Both in your own mind and in response to any compliments you get, make this clear.

Trust me in this, Gentlemen; not only will the above advice prevent you from being that asshole – and we all know or know of at least one of them – it will be to your direct benefit to heed me in this.

Carry on! I’m off to get my coals started.

America The Beautiful
(Click to Enlarge)

America The Beautiful, one of the truest and most loved of our patriotic music – though, obviously one derided and spurned by our domestic enemies, is, alongside The Star Spangled Banner, a favorite for this day, the 4th of July, and the anniversary of the difficult and bloody birth of our nation and our people’s liberation from tyranny.

But, despite the ugliness and even uglier rhetoric and strongly held beliefs of the enemies within our borders, America is beautiful. From Southeastern swamps to Northwestern rainforests; from Northeastern bogs to Southwestern deserts; America is filled with beauty and beautiful people.

Indeed, the one good that our enemies unintentionally provide is that the ugliness of the these weeds points out and draws attention to the splendor of the roses in our nation’s collective garden. Hence, like tares sown by the enemy throughout our amber fields of grain, perhaps they should be left until the upcoming harvest before being gathered and destroyed.

In these times, with the anniversary of our nation’s birth cry around the corner and an important midterm election on the horizon, every American patriot needs to ask themselves WWDD? As in What Would Donald Do?

That is the question of these times. How can each of us celebrate both our nation and the hard-fought, seemingly unattainable victories that President Trump secured for us, the American people, while still maintaining the fight against our domestic enemies, who are hell-bent to reject those victories and continue their fight to destroy both America and the White Race?

Loyalty, Patriotism, Beauty

And yes, we also need to ask ourselves WWDD while maintaining the archetype of the Happy Warrior. Hence, the 27 beautiful, loyal, patriotic babes who are joyous in their lives and pride depicted above.

So be of good cheer and happy character, even as you bring the fight to the Left and those sorts that they pander to and enable. To do this is not only better for you and your fellow patriots, it’s the worst thing for our enemies, who hate any sign of joy in Americans. 😉

And here’s a stunning picture of the IRT Flushing Line aka the 7 train from the 4th of July. In my opinion, absolutely beautiful and evocative.

Blessed Was The 4th Of July

Truly! Blessed was the 4th of July, even more so than most years. Despite – or, possibly because of – the COVID-19 panicdemic and Biden’s earlier nay-saying, true-born and rightly-raised Americans gathered together across our nation in celebration of its birth.

Oh yes! So many of us raised a joyous noise unto the Heavens, and so many found the most titillating ways to wave the flag! 😆
