Seen in VA last night, a woman wearing a t-shirt with July 4, 1776 crossed-out and Juneteenth displayed as the "correct" Independence Day.

Who Shuts Down a 4th of July Parade - Blaska Policy Werkes

"Isn’t there anyone who can help this belligerent brewer?

At noon tomorrow, July 4, a City of Madison fire truck will lead a parade of kids on bicycles circling the streets surrounding Orchard Ridge Park. Parents will run alongside their youngest, pedaling furiously on tiny bikes, many with training wheels, decorated with red, white & blue whizzers. The Head Groundskeeper may bring up the rear aboard his 1950 Allis Chalmers G tractor, as he has done in past parades, this time hoping not to run out of gas. The parade is all of three blocks long but is chock-full of neighborly good will.

Peacefully and patriotically?

Not Up North in Minocqua WI, apparently.

The owner of the local brew pub actually vows to stop the vacation city’s Independence Day parade. Just when you thought Kirk Bangstad couldn’t sink any lower, the progressive pain in the neck posted this call to arms:

'If we can get 100 people to commit to show up to our taproom this Friday to block the 4th of July Parade from happening in Minocqua — not only to protest the unconscionable and illegal arrest of our customers by Oneida County Sheriff Grady Hartmann last Friday, but to also protest the recent passage of a corrupt federal budget that will hurt all working people in the state of Wisconsin — then we will move forward with our plan to peacefully shut down Minocqua’s July 4 parade at 4 p.m. this coming Friday. …
We fully expect this protests may lead to some arrests and we can assure you the Oneida County jail is not a fun place to be. … The more of us who show up, however, the harder it will be for them to put all of us in jail.'

[UPDATE:] Bangstad couldn’t get anyone to disrupt today’s July 4 parade; it went off without a hitch.

Bangstad says he was delivering a political speech on 06-27-25 at his Minocqua Brewing Co. when he called out local newspaper publisher Gregg Walker from across the street. A source called Bring Me The News reports that the Oneida County Sheriff claims about 30 people at the brewery were “consistently yelling profanities across the highway.” Watch his video.

Bangstad was charged 06-30-25 with disorderly conduct, harassment, and bail jumping. The bail conditions stem from a 2023 slander case in which Bangstad was fined $750,000 after he falsely claimed Walker let his own brother die in order to inherit the family business. Walker on Wednesday 07-02-25 filed for a restraining order against Bangstad, who was defeated for Assembly in 2020 as a Democrat. The brewer now resides here in Madison, where he has a much heralded brew pub on E. Washington Ave.

Progressive bona fides
According to Wisconsin Public Radio, Bangstad in 2021 launched the Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC, sponsoring billboards promoting Democrats and attacking Republicans. It has also funded failed lawsuits targeting Wisconsin’s school voucher programs and against school districts that dropped protective COVID-19 measures (which ultimately proved useless and harmful). Tried to keep Trump off Wisconsin’s 2024 ballot.

A civil lawsuit filed in February 2025 alleges that Bangstad defrauded his donors to his liberal super PAC to pay himself nearly half a million dollars, according to Wisconsin Public Radio. (Irony alert:)

Bangstad … accused WPR of being part of a Republican effort ‘to hurt my super PAC and hurt my activism.’

Blaska’s Bottom Line: Every small town has its town drunk, delusional crank, and cat lady. We expend precious pixels on this progressive polluter of the public square only because his call to disrupt Minocqua’s Independence parade attracted 1,455 thumbs-up “Likes” as of noon today. Tells us where progressives are at these days.

Will Bangstad get his 100 Friday in Minocqua?"

Minoqua during the Fourth of July is Wisconsinites, it's wealthy Chicagoans celebrating as that becomes an UpNorth tourist town for all the people who keep the summer cabins there. Hth!

Leftists don't believe in the country. They don't consider themselves Americans. They have no loyalty to the country, nor do they have an kinship with their fellow Americans. They see themselves as Leftists living in an Economic Zone called the USA.

Put them in power, and they will act as a hostile elite. And open the floodgates to the rest of the world and if 50 million Zulus move here, its ok with them. They prefer a leftwing Zulu or Arab to you. They do however love your tax dollars.

Kirk Bangstad sounds like a borderline crook.

BTW, at our local HS there is no requirement to take a US History class. You can take it, or you can take a Black studies class or an Asian/Hispanic studies class. You can literally go through 4 years at our HS and never learn about the Declaration or the Consitution.

Real Americans know freedom.
Do what you like for your holidays. Don't try to force others to be like you. America!

PS. Demographics are changing. Hotdogs and fireworks aren't really the defining measures of the holiday. It's about Freedom.

Think on these things? Why can't you be happy at your little WIN-NING parties if not everybody is celebrating what you do? (Don't try to force those Jewish religious holidays down our throats either. It's ok in America if some people celebrate feast days that others don't... =more hotdogs for you WIN-NERS, no?)

He consents to operating his proletariat-owned beer-making collective at an address named for a slaveholding land thief? Ewwww...

Your local school board has been captured by Marxists. The worst damage always happens when good people stop watching.

It takes less effort and ingenuity to denigrate and destroy, than it does to create and contribute. Trolling is a popular online activity.

If the Hate America First people were sincere, they would move to a country that shared their values. That is not an easy move to make, but acting on principles often isn't.

A good satire on the litanies of grievance culture. He could have mentioned Trump for the trifecta, but I guess that would have been too obvious.

We love our country, and its children, more than you old geezers who think you are WIN-NING by killing children for land conquest overseas, and paying for those deaths by snipping the budget for National Weather Services here.

You old boomers sure don't want to connect the dots between domestic cuts and the fate of children here, with our shipping billions of working American tax dollars to kill children in wars over there. America doesn't deliberately target women and children. Israel does. If you want the USA to emulate Israel, don't expect the rest of us to follow.

It's ok to criticize your lady to help her survive, help her grow and improve. If you're always nodding and saying yes, you're likely more dependent on her than to help correct her.

Mary E. Glynn કહ્યું...

Does that fella on the screen shot remind you of one of your boys, ann? *wink* Funny boys they are, right? Cute costume. Do they dress up for the 4th in Madison now that we're Win-ning like that. Does meade have a cute costume like that too? Please post so we can cheer for him?

Spiros કહ્યું...

Why do we think of California and Arizona as being stolen from Mexico? Mexico had control of this area for twenty years or so. And the area had almost no Mexicans, just a couple thousand Native Americans. It seems kind of like bull.

Boo hoo not everybody celebrates "the 4th". Boo hoo. How can I be the big WIN-NER if everybody isn't here at the party celebrating with me?? Sad.

Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. That's what 'murica is all about, right??? Lol, no buddy, it's about freedom. Someday you might get a taste.

The videos always start muted for me. I have to quickly uncheck the mute button. Maybe the same for you.

Our family went to the Minocqua parade. Glad that asshat didn't succeed.

Funny video.

Original Mike કહ્યું...

Independence Day is racist? We threw off a colonial oppressor. The left should be all for that, no?

Second icon in the lower left corner. Speaker with an X. Click it and it becomes a speaker with sound waves coming out.

The video was what we would expect from woke leftists. Funny but very predictable. And to add to Peachy's comment, where do these tards think they belong if they think they are on stolen land? And do they realize most Native American tribes were nomads with no permanent cities or settlements to speak of?

I know I’ve told you this before, but I’ll repeat it. You are a very confused man. If you think you speak for how those on the left feel about OUR COUNTRY, you are veering into self delusion.

He doesn't need to speak for anybody. You leftists speak for yourselves and we draw conclusions from that.

Or didn't you see the poll released last week? You know, the one where only 36 percent of you are proud of America?

Don't blame us when your words and actions are out there for everybody to see.

Smilin' Jack કહ્યું...

I’ve stayed in Minocqua a few times on my way to Isle Royale. Seemed like a nice little town.

Anyway, on July 4 we should be reminded that we are on stolen land. Stolen from King George III. If it wasn’t for a few traitors like Adams, Franklin, Washington, etc., we could have been just like Canada, only warmer.

Mary E. Glynn કહ્યું...

They say you savages were still wiping your asses with your hands until people like ann and meade's ancestors landed and brought your people civilization. At least you know your place, danno. Never did find a squaw to settle down in WI and FLA with, huh?

Original Mike કહ્યું...

"If you think you speak for how those on the left feel about OUR COUNTRY, you are veering into self delusion."

Yeah, only 64% of the left are embarrassed to be Americans.

Do they think America is The Handmaid's Tale come alive and their countrymen are the American Taliban? I recall even people who claim to be the moderate left believe this so it makes we wonder what separates these "moderates" from the extremists.

Every single poll ever taken shows that most of the democrat party thinks our country is terrible.

It also shows that Democrats hate the people they disagree with and think they are racist sexist bigot homophobes.

You in particular are dishonest and hateful.

It has always been this way. The only thing that is different now is that everyone owns the town square through X and consensus can be formed without corporate media control.

The consensus is that the 30% or so that forms the progressive democrat party are dishonest and hateful people in general. Get F'd.

Last night the private fireworks started being shot off at twilight and continued to about midnight at least. The heavy percussion of the distant but more powerful town-sponsored shows at city parks could be heard from our backyard as distant accompaniment to the more high pitched backyard efforts of oh-so-many neighbors. Delightfully anarchic, and safer than most years due to heavy rains before dark. Orthopedic surgeons probably have some emergency visits this morning, but the rest of us consider those accidents to be lessons for the rest of us in caution and proper handling of small explosive items. Yay, Texas!

Mexico claimed the land for about twenty years. They had control over very little of it. And that claim is ultimately based on a white European king divvying up areas of influence with another white European king without consulting the (relatively few) locals.

That's not a refutation of what I've said. You're not even denying what I said. Its just a Word salad.
