Trump vows July 4 speech will happen 'no matter what' after storms threaten Washington rally

Let's hope Pres. Trump tones it down for official 250th speech, as past few days, he's been focused on the existential threat of rising Socialism/Communism in the Democrat Party, given many recent wins in Democrat strongholds like NYC, Mayor Mamdani their new Leader

July 4th a time for ALL Americans to unite, as the values of the Constitution continue to this day, especially the pursuit of Life, Liberty, and Happiness are Shared by ALL

“The record-breaking heat wave forced the cancellation of several parades and ⁠other events in the area.”

Very disappointing for the hundreds who planned to attend.

I will be a great speech that none ever heard before.

That woman in the photo looks justifiably uncomfortable, to say the least.

Patriot Front is a white nationalist organization founded in 2017 by Thomas Rousseau following the deadly "Unite the Right" rally on August 12, 2017, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The group promotes an ultra-nationalist ideology centered on the idea of creating a white ethnostate in the United States, rejecting multiculturalism and diversity.

Patriot Front are emboldened by the current president and his cabinet and advisors, who champion their sick ideology.

Not "the better angels of our nature".

Patriot Front = the modern day KKK

There are plenty of bad actors on both sides of the political aisle, but the vast majority of Americans are honest, hardworking and love their country, so best to focus on the Majority that Want to Make America Great!

Hopefully, Trump keeps his speech from becoming too partisan, every understands his beef, he's been through a lot, but for this special 250th occasion, Unity Needed!

I think he will tone it down. I am sure he will zero in on the growing threat of the DSA and radical socialists and communists trying to destabilize and ultimately destroy the country, but this definitely should be a day of great pride and celebration, nothing like family, god and country. Feeling blessed.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he would deliver a speech to mark the country's 250th anniversary on the National Mall "no matter what," as ‌summer thunderstorms threatened to delay or disrupt the event.

But the group organizing the event, Freedom 250, said they would be readmitted and Trump would ‌speak at 11 p.m., one hour later than previously scheduled.

"I will be ⁠there no matter what," Trump posted on social media. "It's Saturday night, LETS HAVE ⁠SOME FUN, even if we ⁠are out late tonight."

What great Energy and Enthusiasm by Pres. Trump, that's Leadership, he never quits, a great role model for all!

I think he will tone it down. 

He won't. He will boast about how great he is, denigrate his opponents, and lie through his teeth. As usual.

patriotic front look a lot like ICE

covering up their faces because of their shame

He won't. He will boast about how great he is, denigrate his opponents, and lie through his teeth. As usual.

Well, that's fine as well, given what's at stake with the rise of the DSA.

Nothing can shut this loudmouth up except for mention of the Trump-Epstein Files.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that a ⁠majority of Americans, including three-quarters of Democrats and half of ​Republicans, think the events celebrating the country's 250th anniversary have grown too political.

Americans are correct above to be concerned about hyper partisanship, and why Trump's has had to rely on reconciliation bills with Congress. Hopefully tonight's speech can act to unify and bring the country together.

Together, the US can accomplish so much more, and success is what ultimately brings unity, meaning more people believe in the American Dream and the Pursuit of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness!

The group promotes an ultra-nationalist ideology centered on the idea of creating a white ethnostate in the United States, rejecting multiculturalism and diversity.

Well if that is what they promote, they must be the very summit of evil. They evidently did not get the memo that it is extremist for Caucasian people to promote the idea of an ethnostate for themselves because only non-Caucasians (including the Jewish people) have the right to have an ethnostate. These people evidently did not hear the good news which Barbara Lerner Spectre, founding director of Paideia, told the world on IBA News:

I think there’s a resurgence of antisemitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural and I think we’re going to be part of the throes of that transformation which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies that they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the centre of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role, but without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive.

— IBA News - The Jewish Community of Sweden (https://youtu.be/G7Z_CE7qTMU)

If the Caucacian people of the nations of Europe themselves are not going to be monolithic societies that they once were and must be multicultural, what makes Patriot Front think that they can get away with promoting the racist and extremist idea of Caucasian people of having their own nation within America? They need to understand that an ethnic identity is only for non-Caucasian peoples. They need to quit being racists and extremists by thinking Caucasian people have the right to have an ethnic identity.

The Gods are angry.

He's gotta have his soapbox to threaten the nation some more.

So he will tone it down but declare war again on his enemies. Interesting take.

If the DSA is a threat to America, MAGAs have only their own retribution campaign to blame.

Patriot Front = the modern day KKK

You took the words right out of my mouth

Other visitors included the white nationalist organization Patriot Front. The group posted on social media that it had arrived in ⁠the capital, and hundreds of people wearing the group's outfits traveled to the city on Metro trains ⁠serving the District of Columbia region.

As expected, this is the MAGA cult in a nutshell: bringing back the KKK.

To have this be front and center on America’s Independence Day is an absolute disgrace to the nation and shows how much we have to send this cretins back to the shadows.

I guess the silver lining is they’re wearing masks to hide their face so there’s still some level of shame we can get them back into.

On the other hand, I’d like to see an “Aldo Raine” type approach to these guys. Let them permanently wear their white nationalist symbols on their foreheads. That way they can be ostracized for the rest of their life.

Is the US on the verge of a civil war?

By the looks of those photos, and the tone of some of the American posters here, it sure looks like it.

Ready to take up arms against your fellow Americans, fellas?

The Gods are angry.

The planet and humans all atmospheric resources are angry. But they do not feed the u.s. avarice. unfortunately the whole human race is now suffering. Are Caucasians in the majority ??? done and said

How?? The majority of States are celebrating and each in their own way, the rest of the nation is not worried about the 27% who hate it, now that's disgraceful, but it's not illegal.

I guess the silver lining is they’re wearing masks to hide their face so there’s still some level of shame we can get them back into.

These people don't even represent 10% of how the nation feels.

They already are ostracized. That's why their numbers are small. If Blue states refuse to celebrate July 4th that's on them, but here in Texas and the other red states, we will each celebrate it with love and pride.

Well, that's fine as well, given what's at stake with the rise of the DSA.

So scary. Just like the so-called invasion of violent criminal lunatic immigrants, the proliferation of transgender sports players, and the war on Christmas, Christians and white European culture.

This is MO #1 for how dictators achieve power: brainwash people to fear some bogeyman or other.

Has NYC become Somalia yet?

--bringing back the KKK.

Democrats

Ridiculous.

The black guy in the photo looks totally afraid

Democrats

Mmmm nope. The Patriot Front isn’t supporting Democrats.

These people don't even represent 10% of how the nation feels.

You’re right. Sadly, it’s roughly 33%. The fact that 33% of the country is the white nationalist MAGA cult is insane and unacceptable. We have work to do to push all them back to the shadows. And we definitely will.

I took a few months off from this place, just to see if the usual shower would take a break from their Trump idolatry. Somehow I’m not surprised to see them still living their sad, sad lives vicariously through a convinced rapist. So on brand.

Why do they need to competently hide their faces?

Hope he doesn’t start talking about stolen elections while celebrating a shining light of democracy and freedom to the world.

That's why their numbers are small.

One interesting point of note is that many on the Right actually view Patriot Front as a group run by the FBI as part of a COINTELPRO type operation. Now whether this is true or not, the suspicion appears to stem from the views and actions of the group which evidently do not align with the majority on the Right. Yet they are always touted out to cast aspersion on the Right. Funny that.

What group on the Left is touted out in a similar manner, yet viewed with equal suspicion among the Left I wonder. When BLM was burning everything down during the Summer of Love, I did hear people say that there were provocateurs infiltrated into the crowds, but the voices justifying the destruction as legitimate expression of grievances were much louder. Funny that.

They already are ostracized.

They WERE ostracized, under better leadership. Now, hearing the Trump admin saying and doing the exact things the Patriot Front likes, they feel emboldened to come out and spread their disgusting hate. And they’re low key being embraced by MAGA.

Democrats

Said nobody in the last 60 years.

Anything to distract from the Epstein files and his 12-year old accuser.

Ridiculous

Yes, and still never learned

Mmmm nope.

Yes. With the rise of the Republican Party, the Democratic Party increasingly aligned itself with protecting slavery. Most Northern Democrats argued that slavery was a regional issue and that the federal government should allow the Southern states to decide the matter for themselves. During the 1864 presidential election, Democratic nominee George B. McClellan campaigned on a platform that called for ending the Civil War through negotiations. The Democratic Party’s platform advocated seeking a peace settlement with the Confederacy, a move that could have resulted in recognizing the Confederate States as an independent nation.

The Patriot Front isn’t supporting Democrats.

Nor are supporting the GOP

You’re right. Sadly, it’s roughly 33%. The fact that 33% of the country is the white nationalist MAGA cult is insane and unacceptable.

No, less than that, if it were that High Obama would never have one twice, so that argument is squashed

We have work to do to push all them back to the shadows. And we definitely will.

A bunch of misguided fools, now the DSA will be pushed back without a doubt.

Why do they need to competently hide their faces?

Because we live in a White supremacist patriarchy which debanks and unemploys its most ardent supporters for some strange reason. But if you ask those on the Right, many would say it is to hide the identity of federal agents.

They WERE ostracized, under better leadership. Now, hearing the Trump admin saying and doing the exact things the Patriot Front likes, they feel emboldened to come out and spread their disgusting hate. And they’re low key being embraced by MAGA.

Because like the left who protest hating America and want to push LGBTQ rights, they are the same of the other polarizing political side. Both sides have their agenda, but in the U.S. all sides can express their political viewpoints. That's what I love about this administration, all sides can speak out. And not just the lefts side.

One interesting point of note is that many on the Right actually view Patriot Front as a group run by the FBI as part of a COINTELPRO type operation. Now whether this is true or not, 

Yeah, I don't dabble in conspiracies and hypotheticals

If I were maga I’d be embarrassed to be associated with a bunch of loons covering their heads with white cloth.

Absolutely insane.

Great and awesome speech!! Again, feeling blessed!
