U.S. Office of Personnel Management ^

Today @POTUS will sign the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, establishing June 19th as a federal holiday. As the 19th falls on a Saturday, most federal employees will observe the holiday tomorrow, June 18th.

” We don’t have enough black holidays and black history months and all black TV ads to concentrate all our focus on them 24/7...”


Well, there is a trend in that direction. The middle of January has the MLK holiday and then a few weeks later we have black history month, and now we’ll have the middle of June as well.

Trudeau up in Canada has said that one month isn’t enough time to celebrate ‘pride’ so he is declaring a season of pride from June to September.

This is to condition us for the forthcoming reparations. There are already enough White Guilt events: MLK day, black history month, kwanzaa, indigenous people day. We don’t need any more.

Yeah. I don’t like the sound of that. Why not Emancipation Day?

I’ve said all along the goal is to do away with the 4th and the flag.

My question is the:

Are the Government Employees able to tell the difference between a day at work and a day off?
I know a former New York State employee that quit her job saying, “I am embarrassed to know and see what constitutes a “work day” in the state office buildings!”
The only discussions were what music to listen to!
It was like a “no show job,” that they had to show up for, punch in and punch out with no accomplishments in between.
Multiply that times 50 and see who the real welfare recipients are.
I refer to government jobs as, mostly, “white collar welfare.”

NY state workers I know say there is typically 10 different papers in the rest rooms where they sit for hours reading. Nobody even cares.

Then we might need to conjure up the original Spirit of ‘76.

It’s great that we’re celebrating the end of slavery, but this is another Holiday that will increase racial tension and play into the Dems hands.

Conservatives MUST push for a national holiday, and for national monuments, that commemorate the victims of Communism. This will awaken younger americans to the evils of the left. Why are we not pushing for this? We spent nearly 100 years fighting communism! Seems like an uncontroversial position for conservatives to take and it would reap dividends for generations.

USMC Museum still closed as far as I know.

Military Personnel Records Center reported today that only 25% of their personnel are at work.

IRS can’t send out refunds because COVID keeps their employees away.

What the hell are they “holidaying” from?

That’s true only if you surrender the narrative to the commie-dems.

Why don’t we all celebrate Juneteenth as the day Republicans freed the Democrat’s slaves? That really is the truth, isn’t it?

Caesar Chavez Day. The city of Tucson takes it off. It’s not a federal holiday though.

Yes. We already have a National Independence Day.

As I’ve said before, I have no problem with Juneteenth. I think it’s important to celebrate all American victories in the cause of Freedom.

We’ve never really had a holiday to celebrate Emancipation; and we have a couple of very poorly-educated generations today. It’s probably been enlightening to some of them to learn how Emancipation actually spread across the Nation.

(I guess the fact that it was mostly - vastly! - White Men and Republicans who pulled it off wouldn’t be exactly politic to mention in today’s atmosphere...)

The next national holiday I’d like to see is in celebration of June 6, 1944. There haven’t been many times in human history when so many exhibited so much valor, courage and faith, as the men - many of them extremely YOUNG men - who stormed those beaches did.
