On this Independence Day, please take time to enjoy the most underrated version of The Star-Spangled Banner ever performed.
Meat Loaf in Pittsburgh.
1994 All-Star Game.
250 years, and your empire has been reduced to a single island the size of Michigan, with a GDP barely higher than Mississippi, the poorest of our fifty states.
Enjoy your warm beer in that unairconditioned old pub.
Don’t talk too much shit online though, you might get arrested.
"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace; that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress! And by God…I have had this Congress” John Adams, 1776 📜🇺🇸🦅
I'm old enough to remember when the entire democrat party forgot to have one U.S flag at their national presidential convention, when they declared the star spangled banner a racist song, when they not only refused to stand but took a knee for that national anthem, when they spit in the faces of US soldiers returning home from war, when they proudly burned the America flag at every protest, and when they nominated for president whose agenda that he ran on spoke of fundamentally changing the US as founded, while his pastor unequivocally preached that God should damn America.
It's been going on for more than 30 years. It's just now reaching critical mass inside their party and they can no longer hide the hatred they have for the US as it was founded and for what it stands.

Happy 250th birthday to the greatest country to have ever existed in human history.
If you don’t like it, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

We dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, twice, and 80 years later they light up their cities in our colors as a show of how much they love us.
Meanwhile, we bailed half of Europe out, twice, and their governments take every last opportunity to signal how much they despise us.
