Henry Olsen: Home of the Rave

The United States celebrated its 250th birthday this weekend. Like all those who are told that their glory years are behind them, my country showcased its youth and inexperience with much rejoicing.

The festivities were organised by Freedom 250, a Republican-dominated group that President Trump chairs. To acquire the necessary and proper funds, the group ran donate-for-access advertisements and diverted congressional appropriations from the bipartisan America250 group.
