Last year’s anchorage parade was a big disappoint. I wouldn’t waste your time attending this year’s parade.
Celebrate Independence Day when our country is being run by a foreign illegal entity that is taking away our rights, working to terminate all of us and take everything we own?
Except none of that is true. What an interesting world you live in. You believe only what you want to believe and reject facts.
Lucinda, except that all of it is true. Many more people are waking up to the lies that you and the lefties and the evil ones keep saying over and over again.What a glorious day it will be when truth has been spread around the world and the people of the world speak of it to others.
Anyone interested in hearing about our United States, the White House residents and We the People can listen to Ann Vandersteel and Melissa Redpill talking about our history and how our country and our sovereignty was stolen from us.

Friend: with your inverted connection to reality, you will never know truth. You die, you cease to exist, which I admit is a scary fact. Hence religion.
Lucy, don’t you have an old lady to push into traffic or maybe a parked car to chase?
Thank you founding fathers for generating the constitution. Without it we would be totally screwed.
Amen!
Not Alaska – but, this song sure sounded good! ‘Proud to be an American’
