General Washington Lead the Continental Army out of their Valley Forge encampment on that day. Nine days following was the Battle of Monmouth. The good guys won on a TKO.
The weather tends to be very nice on that day, everywhere.
thimblehumper is our board nut job.
He likes threads about Gateway Pundit and young boys.
Pay him no mind. He mouses with his right hand, and.....with his left.
No. Juneteenth is an official federal holiday as of 2021. The fed will be closed. It's officially the 19th, but will be observed on the 18th if the 19th is a Saturday, or observed on the 20th if the 19th is a Sunday.
Since when did people get Good Friday off?
I would be all for “Death to Communist Traitors Day” as a national holiday, Juneteenth not so much. I think it is one of the most asinine things ever passed.
I have no problem with folks in Texas celebrating it. I think it is an idiotic national holiday.
It is embarrassing. But I guess national embarrassment is the entire point of any Democrat endeavor.
LOL!!!!. Post of the day! I've expanded my vocabree.
What about colored catholics? (Threw that in for an added dilemma)
Some US jurisdictions celebrate Patriot’s Day (April 19th) and some celebrate Evacuation Day (March 17th). Will those become federal holidays also?
“Juneteenth to replace Good Friday for day off — thank you Biden...”
How do you celebrate Juneteenth and for what possible reason?
Don’t forget to board up your businesses
That’s your best sardonic post of the month. Good work.
ya you would think a name for “Their Day/month” would have something a little more Sensible in the English Language... and even their upper class/elite afro Americans back this name up so thats telling in itself...
shut up stupid...
Wrong. I heard from my cousin’s friend’s mother’s dog sitter that Juneteenth is replacing Groundhog Day as a national holiday. :-P
I wonder what the odds are that Julius and Ethel used to vote Democrat?
I have not read to whom the word “Juneteenth” is attributed. I think it was supposed to be something that a freed slave said - a freed slave that could not count past twelve.
It is more likely something an unsympathetic white person said in a Stephen Foster minstrel show to discredit freed slaves who were sad and dreary.
But liberals today think the word Juneteenth is cute; and it is another paid holiday.
It doesn't bother me as long as the holiday is paid for by government money and not taxpayer money; and as long as essential workers are required to show up.
</chuckle>
I’ll celebrate it for the day.
SPJNK.
“It’s been a recognized state holiday in the Commonwealth of MA for several years. It’s the second or third Sunday in June.”
I would have twisted it to 13 thru 19 June, and just showed back up on the 20th... Wha! Wha? It could work once at every job you were new at.
