It's Juneteenth! Are you happy? Vanity..........
Today's fake Holiday....... | June 19, 2026 | Red Badger

Posted on 06/19/2026 6:14:22 AM PDT by Red Badger

I just left my car at a local tire store to get some new rubber for my Mustang.

I was first in line as the store opened for the day at 7 o'clock.

The manager unlocked the door, but there was no 'crew' to be seen, which I thought was kinda unusual.

There are six bays but only one guy showed up for work.

A white guy.

I left the key with the manager as I work across the street, and I told him I'd call. He said they may not be able to get to it today....................

Because you have it backwards. He did have legal authority to do it in states that were in a state of rebellion or insurrection.

He did not have legal authority to do it in states that were not.

That would, and did, take an act of congress.

Juneeteenth, the day celebrating when the Republicans freed the democRATS slaves in Texas.
That is what they are celebrating.
Not all democRATS belonged to the KKK, but all klans members were democRATS!
Lincoln and the Republicans freed them.
Look it up, read a book (as the new generation kids say)

I don’t have problem with the nation observing Juneteenth.

You do know Juneteenth is based on a lie?

Lincoln pushed it to try to instigate slave revolt in the Confederacy, it had nothing to to with the moral side. Note how the Proclamation only applied to the States where he had no legal authority, but he didn't touch any slaves in the North? Why not?

Juneteenth celebrates the abolition of slavery, which resulted from the 13th Amendment. That abolished slavery everywhere. Lincoln pushed that in January 1865 when the South was on its last legs. He didn't need a slave revolt. But the country did oppose it when he pushed it. I see nothing wrong with the ORIGINAL purpose of Juneteenth. It celebrates the end of slavery. Today the Dems have perverted it into a Woke liberal holiday and I oppose that. But I certainly support its original purpose and don't mind that.

The way things are looking you just might get your wish.

It does seem like we are in a one sided war as it is.

USPS is closed. Privatize them.

The car worker at your location should get a raise.

Non-Holiday describes it right well.Of course it all depends on where you work. Every day is Juneteenth where I don’t work.

I remember when nothing was open for business on Sundays.
