I wasn't going to do a post like this, but two things happened today which changed my mind:
The first thing was part of what made my day especially frustrating, running into a number of things which confounded my plans. The first was my weekly trip to the bank. I was denied due to a holiday which has no business existing except to pander to people outraged by a murder which never happened.
I had already brushed that inconvenience off when later in the day I came upon these two articles:

The first one above gives a good accounting of the stupidity of Biden's signing an equally stupid bi-partisan bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday, thus pandering for votes from those eager to get paid for not working, with few among even the black community who was even aware of this bit of Texas history until race-baiters brought it up after lying about George Floyd being a victim of murder by cop and then burning cities and killing people. The political left beclowned themselves in pushing the false narratives (do they ever NOT do that?) and too many on the political right failed to muster the slightest courage to push back against it, and here we are. Another federal holiday which shouldn't be.
This second piece:
https://www.theblaze.com/fearless/whitlock-scrap-juneteenth-for-1865
...is from the wonderful Jason Whitlock, who doesn't suffer this kind of foolishness from the black community. In it, he states how little the day stood as one of importance in the minds of even some black Texans, never mind blacks in the rest of the country, until Floyd died by being a moron, not by being murdered by anyone.
Of course, this second piece is especially valuable because BVMLTT.
