This past month saw people from all over the world having their minds blown by the greatness of the U.S.A. From Asia to Africa, World Cup fans couldn’t get over the many benefits of living in America: air conditioning, free refills, barbecue, and Buc-ee’s. They realized their media had sold them the lie that this nation was a terrible place. This past month also saw the American elitist media repeat that same lie to their audiences. From Sunny Hostin whining that she was “embarrassed” by the “failed experiment” that is America to Robert De Niro griping that he “can’t love a country led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant,” these are just a few of the most obnoxious outbursts from leftist journalists and celebrities over the past month: [LANGUAGE WARNING]   Sunny Hostin: I’m “Embarrassed” by America, It Is a “Failed Experiment”    Sunny Hostin, who once said she was more comfortable in Ghana than America, says she's "embarrassed" by the country as America nears 250 and calls it a "failed experiment" in self governance: SUNNY HOSTIN: And so I think we have a very complicated history here.

I’m embarrassed on the assault on the press. I’m embarrassed of our Congress. I’m embarrassed by the criminal felon president that is in the Oval Office that has a UFC cage on the White House lawn. I’m embarrassed about all those things. And I’m also embarrassed at how America is now seen across the globe. I don’t think that many Americans understand that we are part of a wonderful global community. And when you look at our allies, our allies are now giving us a one-star rating as a country. Why I am conflicted about this country because I feel that it is, at this point, a failed experiment, quite frankly.”— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, June 5.   Joy Reid: “Nobody Black” is “Excited About the Fourth of July”    “Nobody black I know is really excited about the Fourth of July.

And this is the final one. ‘He has excited domestic insurrections among us and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.’ ‘Merciless Indian savages.’ Words in the Declaration of Independence largely forgotten that line and Native Americans place in the celebrations of the 250 years since our nation’s founding.”— CNN anchor Victor Blackwell on CNN’s First of All, June 27, 2026.   “Donald” Is Now the New “Adolf” of Baby Names   “Well, Donald Trump has scored his lowest job approval rating yet in a Reuters poll at 34 percent.
