Did you happen to notice the ‘Mental Health’ budget? Ten years ago it was $150 million; next year it’s up to $267 million, with a stagnant population.

In another decade every man, woman and child will have their own mental health counselor, probably dispensing legal marijuana to keep them on a steady downslope. We should change our slogan to ‘Racing for the Bottom’.

Don’t live there. Don’t care. It could become an independent country again.

So...unless you are an Italian, who cares? And even then, take the day off and play bacci.

Because this is more of our country’s stories and history taken from us.

“I never thought Columbus “discovered” America. Even in my youth I knew that the Vikings had been here hundreds of years earlier.”

Learned in the fourth grade in 1957 that Leif Eriksson’s Vikings attempted to settle in “Vinland”, modern day Newfoundland, but were driven off by the “Skraelings” (Indians) centuries before Christopher Columbus’ contemporaries came and stayed on North America.

“Indigenous People’s Day” is just more PC bullcr@p. It’s a question of who rules, nothing more nor less.

Indigenous Peoples were slave masters, never created a cell phone, property rights, free speech and scalped heads.

Celebrate them, yes !!

Scalp them Democrats.

Until these posers give up all their ill-gotten gain (land, wampum, etc>) they should be considered virtue signaling self hating Americans. Sad.

Yep, and the right’s kindness/passiveness is making it pretty easy.

It is so good to find someone of like mind. Conservatives just blog, never anything else. Then the wonder why things keep getting worse.

Morons. There are no Indigenous People. Indians came from Asia.

Honestly, aside from it changing what we were taught and experienced in our youth, does it make a difference?

Columbus day has become a “throw away” holiday for most of us. I hadn’t gotten it off since 2003 when I worked at a bank. And even now, they are open.

Italians in our neck of the woods have their parades during the fest days in August. Better weather and better food than October.

The ONLY downside is that my birthday is on the traditional Columbus day—I got it off when I was in school before Nixon changed them all to Mondays.

If the government wants to change the name, I sincerely don’t care. Call it a fall festival day for all I care.

The government does not drive my “holidays.” If my work won’t give me the day off, I can take a vacation day. My religious holidays are mine, not the government.

I understand not liking change—but this one doesn’t ruffle my feathers at all.

Did they? The Central American Indigenous people look much more African (Oltecs) than they do Asian.

No one is sure where they came from, or when. In my mind it really doesnt matter.

I think what DOES matter is the SJWs say it was the English and German who did the genocide on the Native Americans. The Spanish brought small pox onshore in the early 1500s. That wiped out millions across the two continents.

Its not my fault they did not want vaccinations. (Said tongue in cheek.)

Piece of 💩.

That's something I would expect of Occasional Cortex not a "Republican".

I said Scott should’ve been primaried out last year. He’s a disgrace. With “Republicans” like him enacting the Demonrat agenda, he inflicts twice the damage an open Demonrat would do.
