Totally gave us goosebumps with how great the air show and the military singers were! It is So much like Trump to do what he did which was to have the Battle Hymn of The Republic song for near the end for the military choir. Giving God the Glory from the Lincoln Memorial up to His ears from all in attendance! The USA giving God The Glory! Almost brought me to tears!

The music may be by William Steffe Mine eyes have seen the glory Of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage Where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning Of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on.Chorus Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. I have seen Him in the watchfires Of a hundred circling camps They have builded Him an altar In the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence By the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on.Chorus Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. He has sounded forth the trumpet That shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men Before His judgement seat; Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him; Be jubilant, my feet; Our God is marching on.Chorus Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom That transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, Let us die to make men free; While God is marching on. Chorus Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. The chorus to the Battle Hymn of the Republic has only three words, "Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!" The word "Hallelujah" is from the Greek (the original language of the New Testament) word "allelouia," with the meaning "praise the Lord." This word is derived from two Hebrew words (the original language of the Old Testament), ha?lal (meaning "praise") and ya?hh (being the proper name of God). The idea from the chorus probably also comes from the book of Revelation: "After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; (Revelation 19:1) https://www.godandscience.org/doctrine/battle_hymn_of_the_republic.html This must have drove the left anti-America and anti-God people nuts!

Ellsworth Dear GCF, Those of you who have been around this list for awhile know that there are a few times during the year that I post something serious. 99% of what is sent to the Good Clean Fun mailing list is humor, however right now I need to be serious for a moment. Most of us, and by that I mean most of us in the United States, know that the Fourth of July is the "birthday" of the United States of America. It actually marks the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress. Often marked by parades and community celebration, it is a symbolic time for American families to gather and reflect on their heritage. Most of us take for granted that this day and all the other U.S. holidays are "national" holidays. Did you know that the United States observes no national holidays? Specifically, that means holidays mandated by the Federal Government. The United States Congress and/or President can only legally establish an "official" holiday for the District of Columbia and for federal employees. In fact, it wasn't until the 20th Century that an order was issued giving federal employees a "day off" from work. A public holiday can only be established at the local level. Typically the observance of holidays happens at the state level with the enactment of a state law or by an executive proclamation by a state governor. I first started posting this piece in July 2000. After I posted it, I received an email from Jen in Alberta, Canada. She asked me why I only mentioned the U.S. holidays. She surmised that it was because I was from the U.S. and to that extent, she is right. The U.S. holidays, especially the ones dealing with independence, veterans, and those who died for this country, are special to me. And since Good Clean Fun is 99% humor, I certainly don't want to veer from that basic premise and turn this into a history site. But Jen did start me to thinking, so I did a bit of research about my neighbors: Canada and Mexico. Look back at the subject of this email. It is Independence "Days", plural. So let me take a moment and briefly honor my neighbors: 1. Canada celebrates its Independence on July 1st. The British North America Act created the Canadian federal government on July 1, 1867. This Act proclaimed "one Dominion under the name of Canada," hence the original title of the holiday as "Dominion Day." July 1st has also been known in Canada as "Confederation Day." On October 27, 1982, the Canadian Parliament officially renamed the holiday as "Canada Day." 2. Mexico celebrates many national and religious holidays. I must admit that I always thought that Cinco de Mayo, the Fifth of May, was Mexico's Independence Day, but a bit of research proved me wrong. While Cinco de Mayo is a national holiday, it honors the Mexican defeat of the French army at Puebla in 1862. September 16th is Mexican Independence Day and it celebrates the day that Miguel Hidalgo delivered "El Grito de Dolores", and announced the Mexican revolt against Spanish rule. 3. Let me mention a third "neighbor" albeit one a bit farther away than just north or south of the US. A ways back, Michelle emailed me to tell of Australia Day which is celebrated down under on January 26th. That is the day Australia became a nation in their own right. So, no matter where we are from, let's all be proud of and reflect on our heritage. Have a great holiday, Tom _ (_) <___> | |______ | |* * * ) | | * * (_________ | |* * * |* *|####) | | * * *| * | (________________ | |* * * |* *|####|##############| | | * * *| * | | | | |* * * |* *|####|##############| | |~~~~~~| * | | | | |######|* *|####|##############| | | |~~~' | | | |######|########|##############| | | | | | | |######|########|##############| | |~~~~~~| | | | | |########|##############| | | '~~~~~~~~| | | | |##########JGS#| | | '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | | | | PS: Don't forget to fly the flag! ----------------- Many of you will not remember Red Skelton, one of the best comedians of all time. Occasionally he would veer from comedy to a more serious moment. My favorite piece of this serious/patriotic genre was done many, many years ago where he divided the Pledge of Allegiance into individual words and phrases in order to explain the meaning of each one. The piece can be found on YouTube at the following web address: https://binged.it/2LAUiE4 Finally, let's remember that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July is more than beer, picnics, and baseball games. -Tom -<>- >Sarahrella After watching the movie Cinderella, five-year-old Sarah started using her pinwheel as a magic wand, pretending she was a fairy godmother. "Make three wishes," she told her mother, "and I'll grant them." Her mom first asked for world peace. Sarah swung her wand and proclaimed the request fulfilled. Next, her mother requested for a cure for all ill children. Again, with a sweep of the pinwheel, Sarah obliged. The mother, with a glance down at her rather ample curves, made her third wish, "I wish to have a trim figure again." The miniature fairy godmother started waving her wand madly. "I'll need more power for this!" she exclaimed. -<>- >Resumania "Resumania" is a term coined by Mr. Robert Half, founder of RHI Consulting's parent company, to describe the unintentional bloopers that often appear on job candidates' resumes, job applications and cover letters.

(And an eye on the "e" section of the dictionary, evidently.) ** "Insufficient writing skills, thought processes have slowed down some. If I am not one of the best, I will look for another opportunity." (No problem ...) ** "Seek challenges that test my mind and body, since the two are usually inseparable." (Glad to hear it.) ** "My compensation should be at least equal to my age." (And bonuses "tied to" his shoe size?) ** "I am very detail-oreinted." (With the possible exception of spelling) ** "I can play well with others." (We'll be sure to tell your mommy.) ** "Married, eight children. Prefer frequent travel." (A new twist on work-family balance.) ** "Objection: To utilize my skills in sales." (Have you considered law school?) ** "My salary requirement is $34 per year." (They say money isn't everything.) ** "Served as assistant sore manager." (Ouch.) ** "Previous experience: Self-employed - a fiasco." (Definitely to the point.) ** "I vow to fulfill the goals of the company as long as I live." (And they say loyalty is hard to come by.) ** "Reason for leaving last job: Pushed aside so the vice president's girlfriend could steal my job."

Therefore, he talked with the organist to see what kind of inspirational music she could play after the announcement about the finances to get the congregation in a giving mood. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll think of something." During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected, and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up." Just at that moment, the organist started playing, "The Star Spangled Banner." ---------- Twenty feet below sea level, a diver notices another guy at the same depth with no scuba gear.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. Don't squat with your spurs on. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. Some days you are the bug; some days you are the windshield. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. Duct tape is like the force: it has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works. Experience is the sinking feeling that you have made this mistake before. Never miss a good chance to shut up. --- ...LOL!

Developed from radar technology used in World War II, the first microwave oven called the 'Radarange' came out in 1947. It was nearly 6 feet tall, weighed 750 lbs and cost about $5,000 in 1940s dollars. It was not a popular home appliance. By 1970 a countertop model with a turntable came out that was finally affordable for the average consumer and the microwave oven quickly became a common household item. While modern microwaves are ubiquitous, incredibly convenient and usually very safe, just like any appliance they can be dangerous if used improperly. So let's take a look at a few scenarios you should probably avoid. * Heating Leftovers In Carryout Containers Certain plastic products contain chemicals (like BPA) that can leach into food when heated. So tossing your takeout right into the microwave may not be a great idea! Look at the labeling on the container itself. If it doesn't say 'microwave-safe' you're better off transferring your food to a glass container or a microwave-safe plate. * Using Ceramic Dishes While many ceramic dishes are perfectly safe to use in your microwave, not all of them are. For instance, ceramics that have been "low fired" retain some of the porous nature of clay, meaning they can soak up moisture. That becomes problematic in a microwave where that moisture can heat up and potentially shatter the plate. When in doubt use glass instead. * Heating Packaged Food The only time you should microwave food inside its packaging is if the package clearly states you should do so. And even then, the packaging should be thrown away after microwaving. Also, remember to poke holes somewhere in the packaging to allow steam to escape. * Disinfecting Dry Sponges While you can use your microwave to disinfect your kitchen sponge, the sponge MUST be wet! Microwaving a dry sponge is a quick way to start a fire, and no one wants that. * Boiling Water You may have already heard about the hazards of superheated water. This phenomenon can occur when very clean water in a very clean cup is heated in a microwave. Superheated water doesn't show any signs of boiling, but will release its stored heat violently when it is moved. Accidentally super- heating water is rare, but if you're concerned about the possibility of superheating, put a wooden spoon or a wood stir stick in the container along with the water. * Running An Empty Microwave While it's not likely that anyone would run an empty microwave on purpose, it can happen accidentally! The problem is that if there is nothing inside to absorb the microwaves, the magnetron will absorb them instead and likely be damaged. -<>- 'Go Green' Hint: Did you know those 13 gallon 'tall' kitchen garbage bags that practically everybody uses don't decompose in landfills? Just imagine all of that plastic being dumped every day! But there are alternatives. You can buy the exact same thing, 13 gallon 'tall' kitchen garbage bags, that are plant-based, biodegradable, and some are even compostable. They are a little more expensive, but switching to biodegradable kitchen bags that will break down once they're at the landfill is an easy eco-friendly change to make. ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: Justice With Judge Jeanine FULL 7/6/19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtWqTyUBHoE The Ingraham Angle 7/5/19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_45-JZ6pIA Did Trump silence critics with 'Salute to America' event? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlJpTMoVHjE Greater Love Hath No Men: Two Brothers United By God And Vietnam https://tinyurl.com/y4xxrad3 Good riddance - On Independence Day, Michigan Rep.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Booker was placed in the backseat of a cruiser. An officer observed about $300 in the suspect's wallet. The officer then walked away. When the officer returned, the money was missing. Booker said an undercover officer took the money. Officers searched the vehicle but the money wasn't found. Once at the jail, the arresting officer then looked at the footage from the camera in the cruiser. The video showed Booker spitting on his hands to lubricate his fingers and repeatedly putting his hands in the back of his pants. Officers then performed a strip search and found nothing. The suspect finally revealed his hiding spot when he found out the next step was a trip to the Emergency Room. The money was rolled up and wrapped in a rubber band inside his rectum. Due to the money being covered in what the Sheriff's Office euphemistically called a biohazard, it was not counted and the funds could not be verified. Booker is facing charges of resisting officer, introducing or smuggling contraband into a detention facility, tampering with evidence and selling marijuana. -<>- Cops have to deal with a lot. Violence, abuse, drunks, psychotics, the mentally ill, malcontents, scofflaws, drugs, car chases and lawyers. But there has to be a limit to what we ask them to do. And when officers in Alabama were asked to apprehend a suspect who was supposedly being protected by an attack squirrel, that probably should have been the limit. Of course, the situation might not have been so risky if the perp had not been feeding the squirrel meth. Police in Alabama had been looking for Mickey Paulk for nearly two weeks. Paulk, who had been hiding in a hotel, was arrested after he attempted to flee from drug investigators on a stolen motorcycle, according to police. He crashed into an investigator's vehicle after a brief pursuit, police said. The case against the 35-year-old Alabama man escalated when narcotics investigators executed a search warrant "that yielded meth, drug paraphernalia, body armor and a squirrel." "Prior to the search warrant, investigators were informed that Mickey Paulk kept an 'attack squirrel' inside his apartment, and that Paulk fed the squirrel meth to keep it aggressive," the Limestone County Sheriff's Office in Athens, Alabama, said in a statement. After the warrant execution, officers called the Alabama Game and Fish Division, which said owning a pet squirrel was illegal. The squirrel was successfully released to the wild, according to police. *--- Part of The Fun of Living in Alaska ---* A 180-pound bear crashed through an Alaska couple's skylight and ate the cupcakes they had out for their child's birthday party. The homeowners quickly vacated the room and allowed the bear to devour the tasty treats. "I was literally in the room, and I heard this cracking," homeowner Glenn Merrill told local news. "And the next thing you know, there's this bear that, I mean, literally, fell right from (the skylight). It was like one meter away from me." Merrill's house is on a mountainside that overlooks downtown Juneau. "There probably isn't a neighborhood or place where we have homes where the potential isn't there for you to run into a bear or observe a bear," Ryan Scott of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game said. "There is really no place where the potential isn't there." The bear eventually left the residence after being yelled at, but it lingered in the backyard and continued to look in the window. "He wanted back in, that's for sure," Merrill said. The same bear allegedly entered another home in the area, so authorities thought it was best to have the animal destroyed because it was a threat to humans. "We don't take killing or destroying bears lightly," Scott said. "People were inside that building. I think it was appropriate for that given the situation." *--- Man Balances Running Lawnmower on His Chin ---* A Guinness World Records enthusiast balanced a running lawn mower on his chin for 3 minutes, 52 seconds in Idaho. David Rush said he trained for three years and three months before attempting the stunt at the ESPN "Road to the X Games" event in Boise. Rush was able to balance the the lawnmower on his chin for 3 minutes, 52 seconds while its blades were spinning. A Guinness adjudicator was on hand to verify Rush had defeated the previous record of 3 minutes, 1 second. Rush has broken more than 100 Guinness records in his efforts to promote STEM education. *--- Illegal Alien Attacks Police Cruiser ---* A Michigan man who was claiming to be a resident of "Planet Zoltron" is facing a number of charges after he allegedly attacked a Muskegon County Sheriff deputy's cruiser with a four-foot metal pipe. Officers were investigating reports about a man breaking into homes when they came across Calquan Dion Burr. On the dash camera video, Burr can be seen charging the cruiser, jumping on the hood of the car and attacking the windshield. "The officers rounds the corner and the guy is already running at the car. He almost had zero time to respond and there was no time to avoid him," Lt. Shane Brown of the Muskegon County Sheriff's Department told local news. While the 20-year-old was being arrested, he told police that he could have "tackled that car and could have crushed it if he wanted to," according to the Muskegon Chronicle. "He also claimed he was from the Planet Zoltron and that his father sent him." Burr appeared to be on "mind-altering drugs" and a witness said that he seemed "drunk or high and was talking about seeing blue orbits." The suspect was charged with malicious destruction of property, damaging police property, assault and other charges. *--- Fisherman Reels in 'Cursed' Wedding Ring ---* Jim Nelligan said he was fishing with friends north of Waukegan on Lake Michigan when he reeled in a trout that had a wedding ring zip-tied around its tail. "Immediately we thought who would do that?" Nelligan told local news. "I thought either a divorcee or someone died, and it was their last wish or something like that." News of Nelligan's catch reached Newaygo, Mich., resident Jason Rose, who revealed he was the one who attached the ring to the fish and set it free May 4. Rose, a charter boat captain, said he became convinced the ring was bad luck after his divorce. "Four years went by since our divorce. I felt I needed to get rid of that ring. So I released it the best way I know how," Rose said. "I am convinced that ring is cursed," Rose said. "My life has been nothing less than great since I released it." Rose said he does not want the ring back and Nelligan said he is also eager to get rid of it -- his boat has been having problems ever since he brought it aboard. --- ...Ahh, yes.

Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 'Important; wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 8:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.'

My friends, at such a time there will be weeping, wailing and a great gnashing of teeth!" At this point, one of the elders of the congregation interrupted to say, "But Reverend, what if one of those hopeless sinners has no teeth?" The preacher crashed his fist on the pulpit, "My friends, the Lord is not put out by details.
