Wishing Everyone a Wonderful Fourth of July, Our Independence Day!

No Top 20 Tweets tonight, unless the BadBlue news-gathering robot gets off his kiester and decides to reboot himself.

Please tip us off to in to any interesting links by posting in the comments section (in between feasting on dogs, burgers, and the beverages of your choice).

Also, don't miss this morning's news roundup. Specifically, don't miss the posts by:

• The great Don Surber on patrotism
• The indispensible Lee Smith on the continued, systematic abuse of political opponents by certain powerful elements of the U.S. government (spoiler: I don't the Founders would be very pleased)
• The talented Alex Gutentag on industrialized gaslighting of the citizenry by the Oligarchs in DC, high-tech and our beloved media

May you and yours have a blessed, peaceful, relaxing and reflectful Fourth of July.

And for those so inclined, from the Scriptures, Psalms - Chapter 20.
