Juneteenth: a chance to remind everyone that we should be glad the Christian abolitionists won the argument over slavery that the Dims were pushing.

IMHO, it's also a good time to remind folks that the Dims' modern "It's not a person, it's just a clump of cells" mindset it too similar to their old "It's not a person, it's property" mindset. Then as now, the Dims devalue people. Juneteenth ought to be something us conservatives can use.

appropriate venue. Bet the mortgage that there will be at least 4 cars stolen and a minimum of two shootouts...And if the fried chicken from your food truck is not crispy enough? you’re getting torched.

Irritating.

I understand “Juneteenth” as a state holiday or event in Texas, in the same way I understand “Evacuation Day” in Massachusetts. Perfectly fine with those.

It is a stupidity and a travesty that it is a Federal holiday.

An abomination. And if money is being spent on it in my locality, parties, celebrations, etc, I would take issue with it.

Juneteenth indicates the day that the news of the Emancipation Proclamation news came to Texas, how it became a national thing is stupid. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed on January 1, 1863. I guess since January 1 is already a holiday and party-day they need another day to loot and shoot off guns (at each other).

Gee. I wonder if the people ‘celebrating’ will remember to mention that the Socialist Democrat Party, that they’re STILL voting for was, and still IS, Pro-Slavery?

I’m guessing Aurora wasn’t available so they had to go to third choice but Pueblo isn’t too far so should be plenty of Wilding going on.

Yup—good catch.

Notice how the article avoided discussing that topic.

I wonder what the insurance company for the mall thinks of the decision to host this “event”?

Gee, I wonder why America the Beautiful Park didn’t want this peaceful, law abiding group back?

I’m sure they totally cleaned up the park before they left - including the dead bodies
