Flag Day.

[JayGalt]

Gotta love it. POTUS knows how to troll the left.

[crusty old prospector]

Ha ha.

I didn’t expect to see it on the NPS website, but there it is:

June 14: Flag Day/President Trump’s birthday

cool

[roving]

MLK was a communist pervert.

[Verginius Rufus]

How many people visit a National Park in the middle of January anyway?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Juneteenth

June is "Republicans Freed the Slaves Month".

Needs a national ad campaign.

[Not A Snowbird]

These people are insufferable.

[SaxxonWoods]

Bee-yoot-t-full.

I find this annoying and distracting. Not enthused about pardoning the Honduran drug dealer either.

[BipolarBob]

Agreed

[rhoda_penmark]

I guess we don’t need to celebrate a holiday for MLK since the sex & adultery files were revealed.

[dfwgator]

And pardoning Henry Cuellar.

[hanamizu]

Juneteenth June is “Republicans Freed the Slaves Month”. Needs a national ad campaign.

Yep, those slaves didn’t (for the most part) free themselves. But actually knowing and respecting historical facts is, no doubt, a mark of white supremacy.

[rktman]

Most, if not all, are free when you buy the old guy pass. Not sure if they’re available anymore. And some Veterans access too IIRC.

[I-ambush]

“Juneteenth”

I could buy into the idea of the holiday a lot easier if it didn’t have such a ridiculous name.

This is the kind of stuff that makes Trump look really insecure. Flag Day — sure. No problem with that. But the suck ups at the NPS have to add “President Trumps Birthday” to it. Which isn’t even relevant.

This is the kind of stuff thats going to get the Republicans crushed in 2026. Because Republicans will vote in normal numbers, and the Dems and assorted other nut jobs will come flocking to the polls in their “no Kings” rage.
