Juneteenth?!? Really?

We used to declare National holidays for presidents and scientists and for the dates major wars ended.

Now?

We just declared a National Holiday to bring attention to the date the last state ended slavery.  Now that's important, but is it important enough to close down Gubmint and send everyone home from work and school?  

We already had 11 National Holidays.  Half a month's worth.  Did we really need another one?  And if we did, shouldn't we use it to fete Franklin?  Or Hamilton?  Or Reagan perhaps?  Not a made-up Holiday designed to placate a small percentage of our population in the hope that they'll forget reparations.  

If we're gonna' reward Blacks, what about Asians?  Or Hispanics?  Or maybe even American Indians (Indigineous Personages)?  Should we celebrate the day the Indians won the right for a monopoly on casinos?  And you realize that the Gubmint's spending the money of our employers who must pony up  another day's wages for no work performed?  

So I'm thinking if we're gonna' make-up reasons for Holidays, I've got a few ideas as to what they should be:

     -  How about "Everybody Go Out and Buy a Firearm Day?"  104 million of our households already own at least one of the 525 million firearms in American hands.  I'd like to see all of those households get serious about self-defense.  Then the crooks would be so scared they'd get blown out of their socks, they'd have to go out and get a job.

     -  Another might be "Cheeseburger Appreciation Day."  Everybody loves cheeseburgers, because it's nature's most perfect food.  Easy to hold, easy to eat, fairly cheap to buy or make.  I can hear Jimmy Buffet's "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" playing in the background.  Vegans buy a carrot.

     -  "National Adopt an Animal Day."  Ya' like it?  Little puppies and kitties should not be jailed at pounds somewhere.  They should be licking the faces of proud new owners.  Those pounds should be empty.  And little animals will improve your lives.  PETA butt out.

     -  "National Honor a Homeless Vet Day."  If we're shoveling money out the door to feed and clothe and educate illegal aliens, how about putting the 39,500 homeless Veterans our streets first in line.  Hmmm?

     -  "National Buy American Day."  If we looked to make sure the stuff we're going to buy was made in America, China would still be a third-world country.  And Sam Walton would have died without anybody ever knowing his name.

     -  Let's end with, "National Appreciate a Farmer Day."  They grow our food.  We'd starve without them.  And yet, they're among the most over-regulated and underappreciated folks in America.  I grew up in a farming community.  I appreciate farmers.  You should too...
