Nine Democrat-Led States, Plus Vermont, Refuse to Send any Delegation to the Nation's 250th Anniversary "National State Fair"

Julia 🇺🇸 @Jules31415

10 states--Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Pennsylvania--have confirmed they will not send an official delegation to the "Great American State Fair" on the National Mall in celebration of America's 250th.

9 of the states are led by Democratic governors, with Vermont being the only Republican-governed state to decline involvement so far.

Notably, PA Gov. Josh Shapiro tops the list of highest paid governors.

It's the countdown to the nation's 250th anniversary, but it doesn't feel like it. The left is doing a good job of what it always does, ruining things with their endless, insatiable hatred and drive to destroy.

Here's some of what Wikipedia has to say about the bicentennial celebrations of 1976:

1976 events

1976 festivities included elaborate fireworks in the skies above major US cities. President Ford presided over the display in Washington, D.C., which was televised nationally. Celebrations in cities and towns across the nation opened into full effect including celebrations such as Operation Sail (Op Sail), a large international fleet parade of tall-masted sailing ships gathering first in New York City on Independence Day and then in Boston about one week later. Other large-scale events, such as reenactments, parades, and booms in commercialized commemoration, spread across the nation as the year went on.
New York

In addition to the presence of the 'tall ships', navies of many nations sent warships to New York harbor for an International Naval Review held the morning of July 4. President Ford sailed down the Hudson River into New York harbor aboard the guided missile cruiser USS Wainwright to review the international fleet and receive salutes from each visiting ship, ending with a salute from the Royal Navy guided-missile destroyer HMS London. The review ended just above Liberty Island at around 10:30 am.

Washington, D.C.

Johnny Cash served as the Grand Marshal of the US Bicentennial parade.[24]

The event was attended by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The royal couple made a state visit to the United States, toured the country, and attended other Bicentennial functions with President and Mrs. Ford. Their visit aboard the British royal yacht HMY Britannia included stops in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Virginia, New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.

The Smithsonian Institution opened a long-term exhibition in its Arts and Industries Building replicating the look and feel of the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, including artifacts from earlier exposition. The Bicentennial Festival of American Folklife, a collaboration of the Smithsonian with thousands of national and international scholars, folk artisans, and performers, hosted programs in the western part of the National Mall five days a week for twelve weeks in the summer of 1976.[25] The Smithsonian also opened the new home of the National Air and Space Museum on July 1, 1976.[26]

Government celebration

George Washington was posthumously appointed to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States by the congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 passed January 19, 1976, with an effective appointment date of July 4, 1976.[27] This restored Washington's position as the highest-ranking military officer in US history.[a]

NASA commemorated the Bicentennial by staging a science and technology exhibit housed in a series of geodesic domes in the parking lot of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) called Third Century America. An American flag and the Bicentennial emblem were also painted on the side of the VAB; the emblem remained until 1998, when it was painted over with the NASA insignia. NASA planned for Viking 1 to land on Mars on July 4, but delayed the landing to July 20, the anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. On the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution, NASA held the rollout ceremony of the first Space Shuttle (which NASA had planned to name Constitution but was, instead, named "Enterprise" in honor of its fictional namesake on the television series Star Trek[29]).

Delaware crossing reenactment

On November 20 and 21 of 1976, participants immersed themselves in the era by donning period-accurate uniforms and equipping themselves with the tools and weaponry characteristic of that Christmas night over two centuries prior.[30] The reenactment unfolded as a grand spectacle, featuring a flotilla of boats navigating the icy currents of the Delaware River.

Since then, the Crossing the Delaware reenactment has occurred every year to relive and recognize this moment.[31]

Trump is trying to do something with this National State Fair concept but the left is boycotting as usual.

Poll: Most Democrats want to leave the US but unfortunately they're all lazy and incapable of doing any of the things they say they want t o do.

A new survey from Elon University found that a majority of Democrats would prefer living in another country rather than the United States, underscoring growing ideological divides over patriotism, national identity, and perceptions of the American Dream.

One of the June 2 survey's most notable findings showed that 55 percent of Democrats answered "yes" when asked whether there is another country where they would rather live today than the United States. Only 10 percent of Republicans responded similarly.

The result suggests that many Democrats view the United States less favorably than Republicans, despite Democrats continuing to participate in the country's political and cultural institutions.

The survey found even more dramatic differences regarding America's upcoming 250th anniversary.

Sixty-eight percent of Republicans reported feeling proud about America250, while only 18 percent of Democrats said the same. Likewise, 75 percent of Republicans agreed that the American Dream remains achievable regardless of circumstance if people work hard enough, compared to just 25 percent of Democrats.

The gap suggests that attitudes toward America's history and founding ideals increasingly break along partisan lines, even as universities and civic organizations prepare for the historic anniversary.

Are you seeing any bunting or just feeling the 250th coming?

While the left refuses to celebrate America's Independence Day, they celebrate Somalia's.
