States faced a mad dash to shut government offices after President Joe Biden signed legislation creating Juneteenth as a U.S. federal holiday and giving workers Friday off.Biden signed the act after 4pm at the White House, giving officials around the country little time to put in place alternative arrangements.Because Juneteenth - June 19 - falls on a Saturday this year, Friday became a holiday with the stroke of his pen. Although the likes of Alabama, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, and West Virginia are giving most employees a full day off, government staff in other states such as California will have to wait until next year

Fewer days for fed workers is a good thing. They do mostly harm when at work, so less harm is good.

This is racist. Why didn't California get the day off this year? I demand reparations! When do I demand them? Now! I'll be back in a few hours. Me and my BLM/Antifa/DNC pals are gonna go peacefully burn a few buildings and loot some stores in protest.

I am a support staff employee for a local school. I've worked there for 30 years. I've never had a paid vacation let alone 44 paid days. That's an average for 3.6 days a month, with pay. I get paid for two days a year. Labor Day and Thanksgiving. This is ridiculous.

Most federal employees could take 365 vacay days per year and we would never notice. Probably 90%

If we don’t need them enough to get by with shutting down much of government for 44 days a year, we need to start demanding government downsize. I used to say that #2 but we can’t afford to pay people who fon’t work anymore.

Wait just a minute here...52 weeks x 2 days a week is 104 days...so now you need to add that to 44 days...now it's 148. Pretty soon the only work day will be pay day...to get their checks. You know now to tell if a Federal worker died on the job? You wave a pay check in front of them and if they don't grab it and run they're DEAD!

Join the government workforce. Tons of days off, great healthcare, and you can't beat the pension plan. As a bonus, you don't have to worry about accomplishing anything at work.

Smith & Wesson CEO gives grim insight
into future of ammo shortage

An ammunition shortage that began during the coronavirus pandemic and the heated 2020 election reportedly continues to plague manufacturers as Americans remain committed to stockpiling as many guns and as much ammo as possible.“It’s widely known the ammunition shortages continue. There is still a lot of interest in firearms,” Smith & Wesson CEO Mark Smith said this week to Fox Business Network.The data backs his statement. A survey conducted by the market research firm Southwick Associates in April found that, out of 1,800 ammo customers surveyed, 75 percent had already experienced out-of-stock issues this year, down by only 5 percent from the record high recorded in 2020.

“Father Knows Best,” now that is a totally radical idea to utter in 2021 even on Father’s Day. The theme song and mid-century look of the original TV show may be a true throwback, but it also involved a literal truism. The sitcom began in 1954 and produced 203 episodes all the way up until late 1960. Set in the Midwest, it starred handsome and debonair Robert Young as an insurance agent, Jim Anderson, a.k.a. Father. His wife Margaret, and three children rounded out the cast. Father regularly offered sage advice advising his children (Snip) Fathers knew best: they were wise, authoritative, caring, loving, and essential.

Sixty Catholic Democrats in Congress have written an open “Statement of Principles” explaining why the Catholic Church should not deny Holy Communion to professed Catholics who promote abortion.The open letter was published online on June 18 to coincide with the June meeting of the U.S. bishops, who discussed, among other things, the question of “Eucharistic coherence” and conditions under which a Catholic should not present himself to receive Holy Communion.“As legislators in the U.S. House of Representatives, we work every day to advance respect for life and the dignity of every human being,” the letter states.

Georgia's secretary of state is poised to remove more than 100,000 "outdated" names from the state's voter registration rolls unless those on the list take immediate action.Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger released the full list of people who could be affected by the registration update on Friday."Making sure Georgia's voter rolls are up to date is key to ensuring the integrity of our elections," the Republican said in a statement. "There is no legitimate reason to keep ineligible voters on the rolls."Some critics, such as Gerald Griggs with the Atlanta NAACP, described the move as a voter purge. Griggs said thousands of voters were improperly removed from the 2019 list.

SAN DIEGO--Mike Davis has seen a lot of things in his 32 years with the United States Golf Association, including hundreds of rounds as an inside-the-ropes official.But he never had quite the view he was afforded Saturday morning at Torrey Pines: as a caddie.Davis, the outgoing CEO of the USGA, worked inside the ropes for Jason Gore, a former PGA Tour player who now works as a player relations director for the organization.Because an odd number of players made the 36-hole cut, Gore was tapped to play the role of a marker alongside 19-year-old Akshay Bhatia, who was in the first group, at 7:10 a.m. local time.What started out

A Justice Department dossier called the "National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism" was released this week with much fanfare by Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, but one political scientist warns the actual text proves even the most casual critic of the Biden administration could be ensnared in its definition, and therefore face punishment.On "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Nicholas Giordano – whom host Tucker Carlson described as a government document expert – and who is also a professor at Suffolk Community College in Selden, N.Y., warned that Garland's document is "one of the most concerning" he has ever studied.

Newsmax released an article this week that gives voice to further distrust of America’s once-premiere law enforcement agency. The column was based on a series of questions and concerns presented by Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) regarding the still murky details around the January 6th storming of the Capitol building. Two questions lobbed at the FBI are both haunting and disheartening: “What did the FBI know? And when did they know it?” The fact that the agency responsible for investigating the lawlessness of that date is itself under scrutiny is alarming.

“It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs……” So goes the opening sentence of Sylvia Plath’s 1963 novel The Bell Jar, referring to the Jewish American couple, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage and sent to the electric chair exactly 68 years ago today. Their execution casts a morbid shadow over Plath’s book, just as it did over the United States, and it is seen by many as the nadir of America’s engagement with the cold war.(Snip) During their trial, Ethel in particular was vilified for prioritising communism over her children, and the prosecution insisted

The actor and hip-hop artist lingered on a moment of droll poignancy.(Snip)Black people mark Juneteenth with recitations of historical texts, theater, poetry, dance, music and art. Some also commune through food and drink, parades and family games. The holiday is seen as one where Black people can be their authentic selves.

Business owners and residents in New York City are expressing fury at the revelation that prosecutors have dropped looing and rioting charges against hundreds arrested during chaos that swept the city last summer. After 603 were arrested in Manhattan and the Bronx during the most intense days of looting last June, 295 of the cases have been dropped completely, according to NYPD data reported by WNBC-TV on Friday. Now Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr and Bronx DA Darcel D. Clark are facing tough questions about why hundreds walked free after the looting rampage caused an estimated tens of millions in damages.

"Today is Juneteenth, a special celebration of the fact that our country strives each and every day to make good on its promise to protect the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all men and all women who are created equal," he tweeted. The tweet emphasizes the freedoms listed in the Declaration of Independence — the same freedoms Americans fought for during the Civil War — rather than the political differences the country is currently grappling with.

I have despised Nicolle Wallace ever since I learned of the ways she sabotaged the vice presidential run of Sarah Palin, whom she was supposedly helping run for national office. In my book, she is a vile snake. Since then, she has gone as fully left as David Brock, another onetime conservative who went to the dark side, trying for years to get Rush Limbaugh thrown off the air, destroy Fox News, and discredit every conservative. Wallace's show on MSNBC thrived while there was the Trump presidency to attack and spew hatred at. But it turns out that without Trump, not too many people want to watch her.
