Lots of news, but nothing really new.

Then there's Al Sharpton.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I gave you one guess regarding the topic Al Sharpton chose to discuss this week, how many of you would answer "slavery"?

Congratulations.

You've won.

The amazing thing isn't that Sharpton talks about slavery.

It's that he has managed to build an entire career from treating American history like a jukebox with one song.

Every issue eventually gets remixed into the same conversation.

At this point historians are beginning to suspect that Al Sharpton believes slavery caused inflation, traffic congestion, and the designated hitter rule.

And now we're hearing that certain performers may be skipping President Trump's celebration of America's 250th birthday.

Okay.

And?

I'm pretty sure the Republic survives.

Let's be honest.

America has endured British invasions, civil war, world wars, economic depressions, disco, and reality television.

I think we'll survive Martina McBride declining an invitation.

No offense.

The funny thing about celebrity protests is that they always assume Americans are devastated.

As if millions of citizens are sitting at home whispering, "The Constitution is nice, but will Bret Michaels be there?"

The answer is simple.

If somebody doesn't want to perform, somebody else will.

America has never lacked musicians.

Or opinions.

Or people willing to stand in front of a microphone.

Which brings me to Democrats.

Because every day they seem to move one step closer toward a political cliff that they themselves built.

Not Republicans.

Not conservatives.

Not MAGA.

Themselves.
