Dont forget San Diegos July 4 fiasco then vote the bums out

Ripped from the headlines of the satirical Babylon Bee: A DEI extravaganza to mark the 250th birthday of the USA!Oh wait.That’s not the Bee; it’s actually a thing: San Diego County plans an identity-politics spectacular this July 4.Wanna go?The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted this year to align the county’s Independence Day event with “equity and racial justice” goals.Per a social media post from the mayor of El Cajon, the three-hour program will feature: a “tribal intimate blessing welcoming to land”; a tribal invocation; the American and black national anthems; local tribal community stories; Latino community stories; Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community stories; LGBTQIA+ community stories; and black and African community stories. Whew.It’s exhausting just to read about.California Post News: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedInCalifornia Post Sports Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, XCalifornia Post Opinion California Post Newsletters: Sign up here!California Post App: Download here!Home delivery: Sign up here!Page Six Hollywood: Sign up here!But more to the point: all of this … on July 4 of America’s 250th year? What message does the county of San Diego mean to send?Not one that elevates fun, family, unity, respect, gratitude and patriotism — traditional Independence Day fare.Instead, the county stoops to woke pandering.Extolling favored groups on the nation’s birthday is e pluribus unum in reverse: ex uno, plura.It’s divisive.

It’s ill-timed.And it’s disrespectful to the nation, to its founding values and to the US Armed Forces who have fought and sometimes died to guard the rights the grievance crowd takes for granted.In the very recent past, Americans of all stars and stripes could agree on some things, including the Fourth of July and its fun family patriotic fare.
