Under the legislation, the federal holiday would be known as Juneteenth National Independence Day.

This will be the wedge used to first downplay July 4th and then eliminate it altogether as the Destruction of the United States under the communist Democrat insurrection continues.

it is specific to Tx you fools!!

[ridesthemiles]

EXACTLY how many paid FEDERAL ‘holidays’ do those employees already have??????????

[G Larry]

And they won’t mention that it was Dem’s who suppressed the news of emancipation for 2 years.

[ConservativeMind]

Federal employees can never get enough federal holidays.

They don’t do much work when they are working, either.

[Mathews]

It appears to be a Federal Holiday. The origination of the event started in Texas... is that what you’re referring too?

June 19, 2009 is my FR Anniversary Date!

[mylife]

[1Old Pro]

A Feral Holiday?

[Red Badger]

Let’s make EVERY DAY a FEDERAL HOLIDAY!

The less they ‘work’ the less mischief they can do.......................

“it is specific to Tx you fools!!”

From the linked article:

“WASHINGTON — The Senate passed a bill Tuesday that would make Juneteenth, or June 19th, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.”

Umm...

[rktman]

Better go back and read it again. LOL! It’s already on a lot of calendars. Besides, didn’t some location just the other day decide to just post “DAY OFF” with no title attached to any ‘holidays’ so no one would be butt hurt? The clockwise spiral continues unabated.

[left that other site]

Both of us were thrown out, but neither of those sites are what they used to be.

However, You, Me and FR are still here and better than eval! :-)

[left that other site]

Better than EVAHHHH!

Something else to celebrate the Republican Party being on the right side of history. The overwhelming numbers of Union soldiers who were present at Juneteenth were Republicans. Abolishing slavery was a Republican policy. Meanwhile the Democrats were doing things like founding the KKK.

Don’t forget that Harriet Tubman, soon to be on the $20 dollar bill, was a Republican too.

Lucianne, supposedly, was who coined the term ‘FReeper’.

IIRC, her FR name was ‘Trixie’...............................
