JUNETEENTH STOLEN BY THE LEFT / IF THE LEFT ISN'T STEALING THE AREN'T BREATHING
Vol. II | Issue. 172 | June 19, 2023
Juneteenth became a national holiday on June 17, 2021. It is a celebration and remembrance of June 19, 1865, the day on which the slaves, or as the “American Haters” of the Left have labeled them"Enslaved Peoples", were finally freed.
No, they were slaves… The Left always loves to take a single word and add their own brand of complexity to it, or modify and destroy the language to suit their needs. Sometimes those changes are simple, harmless, and just tedious due to their additional length, but sometimes they are sinister in their attempt to glorify or diminish the actual meaning of things. For example, they no longer recognize the term or even the concept of the word"criminal" unless it applies to their reviled class of individuals. You know who you are, of course… You are their ever-despised "White Males". The Left now even has invented another new term to replace the word "Criminal", they are now, get this… "Justice-involved Individuals"! Sorry for the digression, but it was the Slaves who were freed on the aforementioned date and the sanctity of that date should be acknowledged and reflected upon.
Juneteenth, like every other National Holiday, should be observed as a day to reflect on and contemplate the ties that bind us as Americans, reinforcing and creating a sense of national purpose and unity. However, the Left, who hate America and its very existence, is not interested in uniting and strengthening our national identity. Their sole purpose is to divide and destroy us.
Juneteenth should not only be a holiday that contemplates the ugliness of slavery, our most enduring national scar, but it should also recognize that we are likely the only nation in history where a majority of the country fought a Civil War to free an oppressed minority.
The Civil War, the bloodiest and deadliest war in American history, claimed over 600,000 lives in a nation with a total population of just 30 million.
The "No Justice, No Peace" crowd, which is the ubiquitous chant of the Left, has designed a game that they will never allow America to win. They are not seeking justice; they are seeking blood in the streets, endless shakedowns, and the ultimate collapse of America.
Every National Holiday should be taught in schools, at home, and conveyed to the American people through the “Bully Pulpit" of the President of the United States, making it clear that National Holidays exist for the purpose of recognizing our aspirational national purpose and imperfect greatness as a shining city on a hill.
Let's remember Juneteenth as the date in history when the atrocity of slavery was finally ended and also recognize the greatness of our nation, which sacrificed so much to bring about its end.
Let's acknowledge Juneteenth by working to heal the wounds that divide our nation, rather than succumbing to the Black Lives Matter crowd that hates America and seeks to tear it down.

Um... the history in this article is wrong. The Civil War was fought to keep the union together. Lincoln said as much. Slavery didn’t end on 6/19/1865. Slavery ended on the ratification of the 13th amendment on 12/6/1865. So yea....
“My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.”
We sincerely appreciate your clear educational material of historical events about our beautiful United States of America.
I worked in downtown at NMH Chicago for many years, and We the “whites” have been subjected on a daily basis to an aggressive monologue regarding slavery. When I tried mentioning about the civil war, it was readily dismissed !!
