The whole premise of this post is flawed.

There are many government holidays many people do not "celebrate".

How do atheists celebrate Christmas?
....


Good point!

If your ancestors, weren’t slaves, slave owners, or slave traders, you have reason to celebrate more than everyone else.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Christmas is by far the most unavoidable holiday.

It’s so weird. Republicans were all for making Juneteenth a national holiday last year when Donny was president.

What changed their minds??






SMASH CUT TO:


It always amazes me how some conservatives are slaves to Ttumps whims.
If Trump supports it, they support it.
There are no longer republican policies
Just Trump whims
Republicans used to be pro business , respect private property, cut the defecit and trust your intelligence agencies instead of Putin.
It's the opposite now
I'm always consistent in my political views regardless of who is Prez
Charlie Kirk is a political hack and a slave to Trump whims

The first major massacre of the black Wall Street? You can see how his demented mind came up with that. He heard the word Texas so he immediately thought Alamo and then he thought massacre and realized that was wrong Juneteeth is about blacks so he said the word black and somehow massacre and black triggered Wall Street in what's left of his mind. Good thing he doesn't have an important job. lol

I looked over the list of federal holidays
I'd rather replace then give extra holidays
Let's get rid of Columbus day
Kind of a BS holiday anyway
I cant remember celebrating Columbus himself my entire life. Learned about him in history books and saw some movies. That's it.

A three day weekend in June, when it falls on a weekend or a Monday or Friday.

Still no national holiday to honor Abe Lincoln.

Native American Day is next. That will be the day after Thanksgiving, making a four day weekend.

This.

Give Donny a federal holiday, for all I care. If it means another day of PTO for me, I’ll take it!
