“It is a moment of great emotion,” Jackson Lee told co-anchor Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Paid days off of work make me emotional too. One of the joys of working in the banking industry.

More white men died freeing the slaves, forever changing family histories; than black men died fighting for their freedom.
Fact. KMA. People need to man up on both sides and live in the now.

Is anyone celebrating Juneteenth by honoring the sacrifice of the 500,000+ Union soldiers who gave their life to free the slaves owned by southern Democrats?
Asking on behalf of my Civil War ancestors.

I would think the death of Dian Fossey would be important to this Silverback.

How are they going to determine who of Blacks today are descendants of slaves and who are descendants of Blacks who owned slaves? The very first Black slave owner was a Negro.

Certainly in the running. The harpy from Los Angeles has my vote. Interestingly, in the very deep South the reparations idea is not greeted with great hostility by the white boys. Why would that be? Because it means that it will be an income shift that the Yankees from Chicago and New England will pay disproportionately for through taxes and reparation bucks will be spent on home improvements, newer used cars, outboard motor boats and assorted consumer items. The local white boys mostly own the purveyors of those goods and services so, just like TVA, the Yankees will end up putting bucks in the Rebs pockets.

The yard needs serious workand the growth invading the left side of the house has to go or serious deterioration will happen. Why would a rich person not see to this?

Obviously, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), failed her American History class. If she had studied the Civil War she would be so proud to be an American.
