No emails about Memorial Day, but we got two separate global emails about how important and wonderful this asinine new “Juneteenth” holiday is.

Juneteenth; a holiday so important no one ever mentioned it until last year.

If you’re counting DA’s in that group too, I agree!

They’re lawyers.

Companies pushing this nonsense makes it easier to sort out who in the company is knowledgeable, skilled, and productive, and who is mentally deficient and spouting Leftist talking points.

It also remind employees to distrust senior management on real business decisions because if they're willing to promote this defective thinking, what else are they getting wrong or not doing at all?

Of course, just making sure your perspective wasn’t civil only. If there were no prosecutors, would we put up with these Marxist scum?

Great post—it is stunning how many large corporations have federal or state .gov as customers—and I agree this drives a lot of the insanity.

The growth of government over the decades has been a cancer on the nation.

Great post--it is a real blessing when the useless idiots identify themselves for you--saves a lot of time when you know who to work around when real work has to get done in a hurry...

“All because of their petty hatred for Trump.”

That is a big part of it, but it is also that they are spineless and really don’t believe in anything other than keeping their government dole jobs.

Celebrating and honoring faggotry is ridiculous. They should be glad that, unlike the old days, beating them up is no longer considered recreation.

Its the same here. I work for a very large bank. We had a meeting where they went on an on about being an “ally” and spoke of “diversity” and blah blah blah. I had to be online and in the meeting at that time but just muted that worthless crap.

Agree. And it’s not just DAs. It’s a lot of the judges too. They’re all lawyers.

Unimaginable that police arrest some people over 40 times and they’re still walking the streets. If they cannot respect our laws, they don’t deserve freedom. Lock them in a cage.

Sorry to hear that. You have been subjected to that mindset for some time.

I sure haven’t. And it bothers me a good deal. I would never do that to my employees. Never. I didn’t expect it.

I have a fair amount of contempt for this holiday.

If someone proposed September 22 as a national holiday the date the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Lincoln, I doubt I would object.

But “Juneteenth”? I have zero problem with Texas making it a holiday, but a National Holiday? And naming it “Juneteenth”? I just don’t see how this affected anyone outside Texas or why the freeing of the slaves in Texas was more important than any other state’s actions. But it does come with a built in BBQ tradition, and I am sure that counts as a plus to many.

The day simply reeks of pandering. The same people who pushed this as a holiday are the same people who run cities like Chicago and Baltimore where blacks are being slaughtered.

Crime and racial strife are tools for the Left, and they coldly use them with effect.

They have to have somewhere to put all these people with worthless “Grievance Studies” to work I guess.

Amazing how the Left cannibalizes words like "ally" and redefines them to mean "you support us or else".

Never say or write “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.” Always say and write “Diversity, Inclusion & Equity.”

I've been doing the same thing! Never use the language of the Left. You know they probably arranged the letters just to get the "right" feel.

DIE was rejected of course.

If we look deeply into all this, lawyers destroyed our nation. We wouldn’t put up with all this bs if not for lawyers.

Seen a modern playground lately? Safety this and that no real fun allowed. To think I BMX'd my bike over concrete mounds with spiking rebar all over. This generation needs a "safe space" with a puppy and a military willing to trans-gender them. We're doomed for sure if we let this crap continue.
