Happy Fourth of July!!!
« on: July 04, 2019, 08:11:43 AM »
"It’s easy to hang a flag outside your house, stand for the national anthem, don the red, white and blue and tell everyone who will listen how much you love your country.
Actual patriotism, active patriotism, is much harder. It requires acknowledging this country’s flaws and holding it accountable until they’re addressed. It means working to achieve that more perfect union our country’s founders envisioned rather than simply paying lip service to the ideals we supposedly cherish."

We not only skipped Tachnun, but even said Hallel today!

There were a few times in history when קינות were recited on July 4th (1776 being one example).

July 4th, 1776 corresponds to 17 Tammuz, 5536

Though I doubt there was much celebration of the 4th then. The next (non-Shabbos which would make the ta'anis a nidche) occurrence was in 1832, followed by 1852, and IINM hasn't happened since then, and will occur next in 2080 - 5840 for those keeping track!

I certainly wouldn't expect someone with an IQ of a brick to become a billionaire president.

You basically can't take politics out of anything. That is why this country is so screwed up.

I guess this thread flew over your head. It is a political thread.

Is it not interesting that the president gave a speech on July 4th, about the war, and six not understand that aircraft weren't used until 200 years later? He's the commander in chief. This has nothing to do with politics.

He also didn't know that Fort McHenry was the War of 1812 and not the War of Independence, but I digress.
