FROM POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures I have two favorites this week:

There are many more. Go see them.

CHARGE HIM WITH A HATE CRIME: American flag burning at Walmart prompts arrest.

The Left created hate crimes, so let's show them that swords have double edges. Here's another hate crime waiting to be charged (or better yet, sued into bankruptcy).

SOME? ONLY SOME? Some journalists really are revealing themselves as enemies of the people.

COLIN KAEPERNICK AND NIKE SAVE AMERICA from hate sneakers. Twitter responds...

"That great feeling of wearing brand new Adidas."

PIERS MORGAN TO ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Quit your bitching.

If he'd give up his idiotic gun control fixation, maybe we could let him back in the U.S.

RED SKELTON explains the Pledge of Allegiance:



It can never be explained often enough.

JOHN STOSSEL: It wasn't force that made America great. It was freedom.

PRESIDENT TRUMP honored American history and heroes ranging from George Washington to Martin Luther King Jr. during a rousing Fourth of July speech.

Speaking before a cheering crowd that repeatedly erupted in chants of “USA! USA!,” Trump hailed US innovations in science, medicine and space exploration during his 45-minute “Salute to America” speech on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

The Independence Day address ... was the first by a president on the Mall since President Harry Truman spoke there during the Korean War in 1951.

The president recounted episodes from the Revolutionary and Civil wars, as well as the suffragette and civil rights movements — and praised the “American spirit that emboldened our founders” and “runs through the veins of every American patriot.”

“It is the spirit — daring and defiance, excellence and adventure, courage and confidence, loyalty and love — that built this country into the most exceptional nation in the history of the world."

I hope you watched it as I did.
