Thanks Doodle, I learned a new word today.
Thanks- our verbal SATs will rally now!
If you’re really anti-communist, then dump Labor Day.
A "spork" is a spoon and a fork combined.
Fine with me.
There is no “true meaning” of ‘juneteenth’. It is a completely made up holiday based on lies.
It only became a holiday because Trump haters saw he had scheduled a rally on it. Even though Juneteenth was unknown outside of Texas.

Absolutely correct.
It was a perfectly local recognition and celebration of what happened in Galveston at the end of the Civil War. Blacks, whites, and Hispanic Texas knew generally the story of the incident and celebrated in appropriate ways. While taken seriously for it’s importance, the celebrations were low key and centered on families’ different traditions. The vagueness of the date to celebrate made it even better.
I enjoyed this Texas day . . . right up until the non-Texas Left found out about it and weaponized it to postpone a big Trump rally in Tulsa innocently scheduled on that day. I now live in Oklahoma and I assure you I never ever heard of an Okie who knew a thing about it all.
Why do Thaddeus Stevens wannabes here always grab macho southern nicks?

That’s just not right. July 4 has been Independence Day for as long as I I can remember, but this Juneteenth Day seems to be a bit restrictive. As was said, it is not a holiday for some. That doesn’t sound like much of a federal holiday to me. If I wasn’t retired, I’m pretty sure I’d still be working today; possibly for very little pay while my neighbor very possibly had a day off with full pay. Before they set up these holidays, they should at least make it equitable for working folk, not just SOME working folk.
Keep it, and toss Martin Luther commie day.
Don’t forget pride month
Or decade
Or century
Human kind ends on a quaff
