The Republican National Committee (RNC) is receiving criticism for a tweet it sent to commemorate Presidents’ Day. The RNC’s Twitter account on Monday shared a graphic of various presidents with the words, “Happy Presidents’ Day To Such Great U.S. Presidents.” The presidents featured in the graphic were all Republicans, including Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.

Our second President, John Adams, attended Harvard, the oldest college in America, already over a hundred years old when he attended. His successor in the White House, Thomas Jefferson, attended William and Mary… and his successor, James Madison, attended the College of New Jersey (now known as Princeton). Most of our earlier presidents, those who led the Continental Congress and its successor body, the Confederation Congress, were similarly well-educated men. For example, John Jay went to King’s College (now Columbia); Thomas Mifflin attended the College of Philadelphia. The various colleges of both the United States and Great Britain were well...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that Presidents’ Day should not honor “losers” like former presidents Donald Trump and Richard Nixon. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “Today is Presidents’ Day, but not everybody is on board with it. There’s an op-ed calling to take it off the calendar, claiming that most people aren’t even sure what they’re celebrating. It used to honor Presidents Washington and Lincoln, but it expanded to all presidents depending on what state you’re in.”

Politico argued on Monday that President’s Day should be canceled for including former President Donald Trump in the holiday. In an article titled, “It’s Time To Cancel Presidents Day,” the publication made the case that President’s Day is not woke enough, and that it “does a disservice to history” and “is less a show of genuine respect for American history than an insult to it.”

This Presidents Day (February 21), Americans should honor the memory of George Washington by defending his great legacy against the attacks of far-left educators, activists, politicians, and bureaucrats who have falsely cast aspersion on Washington, the Founding Fathers in general, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution: labeling all racist. The history reveals a reality starkly different story, one of which we can all be proud. The far-left anti-Washington and anti-Founding Fathers polemic condemns the great works that have advanced individual liberty on the argument that the principles of equality under law and individual rights did not extend to all...

With the shock and awakening of Americans that the freedoms, rights and opportunities they had taken for granted for generations have been brazenly stripped away in the last few years, this President’s Day 2022 may well be one of our most significant holidays. Presidents Day is unique among American holidays in providing the opportunity to appreciate why George Washington and Abraham Lincoln—whose birthdays fall in February—were the two greatest U.S. presidents. While Washington was the founding father of the United States becoming the first President in 1789 after final success in the War of Independence, Lincoln would save the nation...

In the next few weeks, we will celebrate both Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day. The two holidays recall two of our many presidents who loved our country and sacrificed for it: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Both presided over our country during times of vast change, and both put their country before themselves. Most importantly, both imparted guidance that is just as important today as it was during their lifetimes. Two of their speeches highlight their perspectives regarding our nation: Washington's Farewell Address and Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address. Both men acknowledged that they were part of a bigger plan...

Reflections on George Washington’s Birthday For many Americans, the winter of 2020-2021 is unusually harsh. More frequent snowfalls in areas that have grown unaccustomed to it, combined with subzero temperatures in states that haven’t designed their infrastructure for such conditions, have reminded us all of how unpredictable the forces of nature can be. We can bundle up and head outside, armed with shovel and snowplow, to render our paved sidewalks and streets usable again. We can crank up the furnace or the heat lamp, keep the water running so that pipes don’t freeze. There are ways to get through this,...

The mainstream media posted a lot of fake news about the Capitol riots, for some of them there wasn’t even a retraction. The last one who issued a correction was the NY Times. The New York Times issued a correction on Sunday after it was revealed that the Capitol police officer who they reported had been killed by supporters of former President Donald Trump after being bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher actually died of a different cause. “UPDATE: New information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death...

President Donald Trump made a surprise appearance at the President’s Day celebration organized near his Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, today. His motorcade was greeted by a crowd of at least 1,000 Trump supporters chanting “We love you” and “USA!” “USA, USA, USA” the crowd began to chant. One woman appeared to shout, “We know you won, everyone knows you won, even the losers!” Right Side Broadcasting reported live from the celebration, interviewing Trump supporters from all walks of life before the crowd quickly made their way to the sidewalks after hearing that President Trump may make a surprise appearance. JUST IN:...

Trump supporters held a huge President’s Day celebration in West Palm Beach, Florida today for President Trump. There were no celebrations planned for Joe Biden today but we’re expected to believe Dementia Joe got 81 million votes! The total is now up to 775,000 views on Right Side Broadcasting Network.

There’s no way this guy won in November. You all know it. They know it.

Just two months after announcing his presidential run — amid multiple claims that he had touched women in a way that made them uncomfortable — Joe Biden finally unveiled a policy plan. He also took the opportunity to make an inappropriate remark toward a child. Even if the left claims that he has changed, Biden hasn’t changed. After several women said earlier this year that Biden had touched them in ways that made them uncomfortable, the former vice president and 2020 Democratic candidate promised to be “much more mindful” of people’s personal space. But recent incidents tell a different story....

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT ANNOUNCED TO ATTEND. Celebration will be livestreamed by RSBN.

Hollywood celebrities worked out their Trump Derangement Syndrome on President’s Day by mocking President Trump, paying tribute to former President Barack Obama, and lamenting the current slate of Democratic presidential hopefuls. Left-wing stars including Kathy Griffin, Vincent D’Onofrio, Rosanna Arquette and Michael Rapaport, expressed their fervent anti-Trump sentiments on social media Monday, using the holiday to rally their fellow Democrats. Rosanna Arquette used President’s Day to send special thoughts to former President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. thinking of Michelle Obama and her husband today happy Presidents’ Day. — Rosanna Arquette🌎✌🏼 (@RoArquette) February 17, 2020 Full Metal Jacket star...

President Trump wasn’t called a racist until he ran against Hillary. That’s how liberals operate. Play the race card every time. They’ve done it for decades. Fortunately, minorities aren’t falling for it as much as they used to. The black people no longer think they are victims – but free men – to do and achieve as they can. Just like all should be able to do. Last month, President Trump’s approval rating with African Americans hit 31%. Also, Trump’s approval with African Americans “jumped again… to 36%. The president’s approval is up 19 points since last year at this...

Barack Obama is going to have to school Katy Tur on the famous sons of all the 57 states . . . If ever there were a famous Virginian, it is George Washington. Born and raised in Virginia, Mount Vernon was, of course, his historic home. Yet somehow, a confused Katy Tur has claimed that Washington was a "native son of New York." Her embarrassing gaffe occurred today on MSNBC, as Tur handed off the MTP Daily hour to Ari Melber and The Beat. ARI MELBER: Hi, Katy. I wanted to wish you a happy Presidents Day. TUR: You know,...

Protests planned across US on Presidents Day in response to Trump's national emergency for border wall By Aris Folley - 02/16/19 06:33 PM EST Protesters have planned demonstrations across the U.S. for Presidents Day in response to President Trump’s decision to declare a national emergency for border wall funding. USA Today reports a wave of protests have been planned from New York to California and Texas to oppose the president’s national emergency declaration. A number of demonstrations are being planned by the liberal advocacy group, MoveOn.org, and others have been listed on Rally List. “Donald Trump has declared a #FakeNationalEmergency—an...

The term "progressive" is simply another way of saying "socialist" or "Marxist;" California’s elected Democrats are pushing for a communist holiday, at the expense of a U.S. President’s Day. Remember during the Cold War when “better dead than Red?” was the thinking? History repeats itself because evil never goes away.

The California Assembly discussed Thursday a bill that would replace Abraham Lincoln or George Washington’s birthday with International Socialist Workers’ Day as a paid holiday. California Democrat Assemblyman Miguel Santiago introduced Bill AB-3042, which would allow schools to replace Washington Day and Lincoln Day with Presidents’ Day and install an “International Workers’ Day” — conventionally known as “May Day” — as a second holiday. “I’m aghast that a bill like this would be able to get through committee,” California Republican Assemblyman Matthew Harper said to the Assembly. “Are we in competition to be the laughing stock of the United States?”...
