Happy Juneteenth!

What's "Juneteenth," you might ask?  The Short Answer:  That was the day Republicans and the Union Army freed the remaining slaves from their Democrat slave holders in Galveston, Texas.  

That's all you need to know.  Got it?  Okay.  Go on back to whatever you were doing.  Oh, you want more?  Okay, here goes...      

Then-POTUS D. J. Trump proposed the passage of "Juneteenth" as a Federal Holiday more than two years ago.  The GOP was behind him.  The Congress chose to do nothing.  At all...

Couldn't give The Donald a win, now could they?

As you've obviously heard by now (how could you not?), "Juneteenth," the legislation, was drafted, finalized, discussed in Committee, passed out on a unanimous voice vote, and then voted on...by both houses of Congress...in just...two days, where it received a 98 - 0 vote.  

Lemme' say that again.  Every.  Senator.  Voted.  For.  It.  Including every single Republican.  I'd call that bi-partisan. 

I'd also call that proof-positive that our Great Country needs no further discussion about race relations.  We're doing just fine, thank you, and this vote, on this legislation, proved it.

Some background.  "Juneteenth" is our newest Federal Holiday, memorializing the day the Black folks in the Deep South of Galveston, Texas, finally learned that they'd been released from the chains of slavery.  We believe it was somewhere around June 16th.  Of course, that burden had actually been lifted from them two and one-half years earlier by President Abraham Lincoln, via his "Emancipation Proclamation."  But the Democrats who were running things down there, and by the way, that's the folks who were actually running things down there, KKK and all that, decided to keep the news from their slaves.  They screwed them once again.  They worked them another two-plus years, illegally and immorally, after they'd been emancipated, freed, cheating them once again out of their freedom.  

And because they did, so successfully, we all get rewarded with a paid Federal Holiday!

BTW, we now have 12 Federal Holidays, totaling approximately 4 and 1/2% of the entire annual work-year.  That's 4 1/2%.  That's quite a lot, I'd say.  You?  And the last one was "Martin Luther King, Jr.-Day," BTW, so let's drop the "systemic racism" bullsh*t, shall we?  

Oh yeah, and before the dust could settle on this accomplishment, certain "Black leaders" were calling for reparations.  Oh yeah, and some of them even called for the creation of an entirely new National Flag!  Anything else?

Yeah, a former Ms. America, a BLACK woman, sang the "Black National Anthem" on TV the other night.  On PBS, during their annual 4th of July special.  Firstly, when, might I ask, could we expect the "Brown" national anthem?  The one for all those "Brown" people running around without one?  And then there's the "Yellow" national anthem, too.  Stupid, right?  

Just remember, that's PBS, an outfit we pay for in our taxes.  Preaching to us about race relations and freedom, they are.  Makes one want to hurl...  

In closing, I'm pleased we can finally get the truth out about how those poor Black slaves in Galveston were lied to for so very long by their Democrat masters.  And freed by their Republican saviors.  It's a shame it took so long.  But hey, politics, you know...
