On this day I honor my friend Anita, who I once met for a July 4th picnic, and when I suggested we list the things we like about America, she said: "I'm going home."

I say this gently and with love. The ppl watching the No Kings protests and saying “I have nothing in common with these normies, but I support the wine moms and fleece vest dads” are in denial. You are a middle aged bike commuter with a dog and a mortgage. You are these normies.
