A bittersweet Independence Day

This year of 2020, when we Americans should be celebrating American Exceptionalism-the big difference in America's founding and history from every other nation on Earth; our great country is riven by rioting, looting, Marxism, ugliness, vandalism---oh, and also a worldwide pandemic of a virus that originated in Communist China.
