  1. Juneteenth? What a great idea!

    We won’t have to hear any more about reparations now, right?

  2. Come on, man. That comment is below your station.

    Celebrating the emancipation proclamation should be a holiday we can all appreciate.

    Now which holiday are they going to get rid of to balance it out.

    • When I lived in TX, people celebrated Juneteenth because it was a TX based event. When I moved out of state, I never heard anyone talk about it – that included 3 years in college when I went back to finish my degree, when I was the only white person on a team for several years.

      It wasn’t until 2020 that I ever heard anyone in NC bring up Juneteenth. And when our fresh-off-the-jet new CEO from Germany (a perfect aryan male) encouraged everyone to enjoy their Juneteenth celebration, he told the company that he would be celebrating by eating watermelon. They edited that part out when they distributed the recording.

    • lee/jackson day in va. was vacated to make room for it. guess the gov didn’t enjoy his time at vmi, where he was known as “coonman”.

      • Lee-Jackson Day was replaced with Martin Luther King’s birthday. I’m still pissed.

        • Thought it was Jackson-Lee. After that CongressBirthing Person from Houston. You know. Sheila.

    • I’m with Btroll. You are better than that comment.

      For all the talk about liberty here I would think a holiday to celebrate when our nation decided people couldn’t own other people would be right up your alley.

      Love ya brother!

      • Its just the absurdity of putting in a holiday whose creation is manifestly nothing but a virtue-signalling special-interest political pandering move that smacks of tokenism. On the one hand, an argument could be made that since no other demographic was enslaved in the US, it’s reasonable that this exist. But on the other hand, literally every single demographic has some sort of tragic event in it’s history that probably, to them, merits a federal holiday. Under this rubric where suffering is considered the moral currency used to value the merit of things, womens suffrage day should be a federal holiday since a full 50% of the population was denied what would be considered a civil right. I certainly don’t support slavery, I’m not sure we need a holiday to note its passing. According to historians, we had a civil war over slavery…it would seem that the victory and subsequent memorials afterward would be the same thing.

        • The problem here is “Juneteenth” is a Texas event not a national one. What’s next? a national holiday celebrating “Texas Independence Day” on March 2nd. Probably not!!!! Ok, so we already have that as a state holiday here in Texas.

        • preach bro. 100% agree with this. however since it appears this is a consolation prize in place of reprarations and debt forgiveness (for now, and only because wall street probably pushed back hard), i will give them their 2 days and a month.

      • I, also, would love a day to celebrate the good things white people have done for blacks. And I fully expect it to be a day where I’m showered with praise for once by every passing black person for my ancestor’s actions instead of treated like I’m the one who committed their wrongs. Juneteenth for Ever!

    • Juneteenth is a TEXAS holiday,

      The Emancipation Proclamation ONLY applied to “southern rebellious states”

      I tire of yankees and their lies regarding our past.

      Signed,

      a white boy born and raised southern whose family never owned slaves, and whose family was chased outta scotland/ireland and now is being chased outta Murica by idiot yankees

  5. Top shelf Commander, really readers can’t take a joke?! They’ll never make it.

  6. I’m fine with making Juneteenth a federal holiday, as there’s actually a decent rationale behind it and the event it celebrates.

    Now give back MLK Day, which is an abortion with legs, and go back to celebrating Washington’s and Lincoln’s Birthdays, separately.

    I don’t want Presidents’ Day, and never celebrate it as such, as I’ll be damned if I’m ever going to hoist a glass to the memory of FDR, Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, LBJ, Mr. Peanut, Obozo, Fat Bill, or any number of other turds from our past best forgotten, but never forgiven.

    The only other president I’d really love to see commemorated for his absolute unquestionable public-spiritedness and blameless term of office is our ninth, President William Henry Harrison.

    Anyone with the dedication and thoughtfulness to die in office after only 31 days truly had the best interests of the American people at heart, and his exemplary and selfless service should be properly honored, ideally every February 9th (his birthday).

    Most of the other douchebags can burn in Hell for all I care, unmissed, unmourned, and unremembered. Several of them should be helped along in their journey thence, with all due dispatch, ideally after a speedy trial, and fine public hanging.

    And while you’re up, I’d like a pony, and world peace.

  7. Why isn’t President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation day a national holiday instead ? Juneteenth is a Texas event.

    Hey Vice President Kamala Harris – when was Jamaican Slavery abolished again ? You should know this, as your ancestors were directly involved.

  8. What about all those brown and yellow people that are swarming over our border and right into modern day slavery? Every massage parlor, and most of the nail parlors are staffed with illegals “paying off” their debt to the smugglers. The brown children sent into the hands of the slavers and sex traffickers are headed into a hell we can’t even imagine. The ‘tan’ adults locked into crowded ‘stash houses’ while forced to work in construction, cleaning, restaurants, and the always ravenous sex ‘industry’ are slaves as surely as Kunte Kinte was.

    Slavery in the US isn’t over. It’s BOOMING.

    But the faces are a different color, and no one is marching in the streets for them.

    added- after 17 years in Texas, last year was the first time I’d heard anything about “Juneteenth.” Not really a thing for most people.

  10. Now, I being a frugal kinda ol’guy, though…How much tax payer money is this extra paid holiday for fed workers gonna cost. Not that it will make much difference, considering how far the USA is in debt now anyways. Just print up some more funny money to cover it….The assholes!

  12. I’m for more paid time off. Now if we are celebrating amendments can we make December 5th a holiday since the 21st amendment repealed prohibition?

      • That’s because the federal government doesn’t yet recognize the US Constitution as legally binding on them.

        If someone could fix that problem (ideally, with rope, lamp posts, and lots of help), then we can talk about a proper federal celebratory holiday.

  13. I want July 16th to be a national holiday commemorating the Trinity Test. Atomic Bomb day. First nuclear detonation in history

  14. God they are so f—-kin stupid!
    They take the stpidist crumbs and are jumping for joy.

    A Fedral Holiday marking there level of total ignorance amd illiteracy.

    Really..juneteenth? Hahahahaha
    Perfect. Abolute and Total

    Lets have din-do-nuffin day, greens and ham hock month and Ripple Week.

    No, i am 100% behind this holiday.

  15. You know yesterday I heard a half dozen explanations of what Juneteeth is. Everyone of them was wrong. Of course it was from the Constipated News Network. PMS/LSD and other poor examples from the legacy propaganda mills.
    Nineteenth was the day that the emancipation proclamation was read to the slaves in the South. Not just Texas. And it sure as hell wasn’t the day slavery ended. That didn’t happen till the 13th amendment was passed.
    The Emancipation Proclamation was a strange document. It set free all persons held as slaves in states and parts of states considered to be in rebellion against the United States. It didn’t free slaves in the border states nor slaves in conquered territory. In the areas covered by the Proclamation Lincoln had no authority to enforce the document.
    Simply put it was a war measure meant to deprive the. South of needed man power. Plantation owners were making more money furnishing slaves for construction of railroads and field fortifications then they were growing crops. Which led to food shortages in the South. But Lincoln knew the slaves would hear about it and flee to free territory.
    So you know. I have studied the Civil War since I was about five years old. I am now 67. I was a civil war reenactor for 23 years and still do presentations to history groups and schools. There are many misconceptions about the war and the left has done their best to bastardize the real truth. The Democrat Party was the party of Slavery. The KuKluxKlan was their terrorist arm after the war. Segregation and Jim Crow were all Democrat ideas to hang on to as much power as possible from when they owned black people.
    If reparations are to be paid then it should rightly be the Democrat Party that pays them. They started the Civil War in order to defend slavery.
    As a kid I traveled in the segregated south. I lived through the Civil rights era. Seems a lot of people telling stories about those days that were never there. Rest assured its the Democrats and their surrogates trying to erase and cover up their history. Not America’s.
    And it wasn’t just the South were slaves were held. New York was where Sojurner Truth was held as a slave. When she escaped she could speak Low Dutch. Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri were also slave states that remained in the Union but furnished both men and material to both sides.
    Most of the history told today are twisted versions of the truth meant to fit a certain political philosophy. In this case Marxism and it’s bastard child Progressivism.

  16. I want July 16th to be a holiday. The anniversary of the Trinity test in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Lets call it Atomic Bomb Day.

  18. Well I guess I was looking at the historic explanation. It would appear that when Jomentia signed the bill he was giving the citizens and denizens of the war zones referred to as intercities free shopping days. You know. Got no money no problem. Help your self. All you want. At least that’s what the articles I’m seeing posted on the Internet would infer. Riots, shootings, looting and general mayhem.
    Yep. Those cities run by Marxists sure. Are the quintessential definition of a paradise.
