Media, celebrities and politicians celebrate America 250 by bashing Trump<\/h4>\n

Tomi Lahren and the panel discuss America’s 250th birthday celebrations, highlighting President Donald Trump’s patriotic speech honoring veterans and warning against communism. They criticize “far-left” media figures and politicians like Gavin Newsom and Zohran Mamdani, along with Hollywood celebrities, for their negative, “unpatriotic” reactions to the July 4th events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A Texas bakery is facing online backlash after publishing a Fourth of July message saying its owners were “embarrassed, afraid, and disappointed” in what the United States has become, while calling the MAGA movement “a cult” and denouncing the Trump administration in explicit terms.<\/p>\n

In a July 3 Facebook post, Flower Mound-based Hive Bakery wrote, “We expressed not wanting to celebrate the 4th this year, as we\u2019re embarrassed, afraid, and disappointed in what this country has become.”<\/p>\n

“MAGA is adversarial,” the bakery continued. “It\u2019s a cult of unintelligent, rabid, immoral sycophants. Those conservatives who still have rational thought have left the MAGA movement. Those who remain and continue to support the most corrupt administration in our nation’s history, are here, wishing for our bakery to burn to the ground. Enjoy a little taste of this Americana.”<\/p>\n

The post concluded: “We are open tomorrow from 10-6 as we refuse to observe this holiday. F— this fa$ci$t regime and every single person perpetuating the downfall of our country. Still holding out hope for an AOC revolution.”<\/p>\n

In a video posted on July 4, Hive Bakery said it had received backlash for a post it made a few days prior saying it would not be celebrating the holiday and read many of the comments aloud in the video.<\/p>\n

Some of the negative comments reposted by Hive Bakery in response included one that said, “Hope your place burns to the ground. You deserve it. F—ing leftist.”<\/p>\n

Another read, “I will celebrate this amazing country because it is still a great place to live. Instead of everyone being so negative, try some kindness. I always say, no one is stopping you from leaving and finding a better place to live.”<\/p>\n

An additional commenter said, “With a post like this, I will never patronize your business, and I will make sure to let my friends and family know your thoughts as well. If you’re that embarrassed, pack your s— and leave. You won’t be missed. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.”<\/p>\n

But many other comments were supportive of the bakery, with one person replying to the July 3 post writing, ” ….tempted to get in the car and drive 12 hours for some Hive goodies….”<\/p>\n

Another person wrote, “Lol\u2026 I just said to my husband where\u2019s hive bakery, let\u2019s go support them\u2026 then I saw they are all the way in Texas. That\u2019s way more than 12 hours for me\u2026 but go Hive Bakery I stand with you!”<\/p>\n
