The illiterate millennials of the New York Times have published a five minute long video essay titled,

Please Stop Telling Me America Is Great, just in time for the Fourth of July. We will dissect

the nonsense. Then Sargon of a Cod stops by to talk YouTube and politics. Finally, the mailbag

and my favorite soldier story from the Revolutionary War. I'm Michael Knowles and this is the Michael

anti-Trumpism because President Trump's campaign slogan is make America great again,

reinforced by every cartoon, movie, cheeseburger, and mattress sale. Guaranteed.

A mythology so entrenched, our most beloved personalities are just never to question it.

Don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great. This right now is the greatest

country on earth. Greatest country God ever gave. You got the greatest country in the world,
