America is throwing a summer unlike any other — the 2026 FIFA World Cup and our 250th anniversary celebrations are converging, and patriotic Americans should be thrilled. Instead of joining the party, the predictable chorus of left-wing critics is scolding the nation and even floating boycotts, as European lawmakers and some fans loudly complain about America hosting and the broader politics behind it.
Make no mistake: this is a legitimate national moment. The World Cup runs June 11 through July 19 and sits squarely alongside America 250 events, offering a unique chance to welcome millions of visitors and show the world the best of the United States.
Yet the media frenzy has focused on a different storyline — the implosion of the Freedom 250 concert lineup, where several performers announced they would not appear, citing alleged partisanship and safety concerns. The mass pullouts became a convenient narrative for those who love to portray patriotism as toxic, rather than the celebratory, unifying force it truly is.
Conservative commentators, rightly, have called out this sour mood. Voices on the right have pushed back hard against what Guy Benson and others rightly describe as the grumbling of “miserable leftists” who would rather dampen American pride than let citizens and international visitors enjoy a historic moment.
Here’s the simple truth for hardworking Americans: don’t let the tantrums of self-appointed cultural commissars steal your summer. We will welcome the world, celebrate our history, and choose joy over grievance — and if the left wants to sit on the sidelines whining, so be it; we’re choosing USA.
