Juneteenth Celebrates the Grand Ol’ Party’s Proud History
(The “Black National Anthem” is related to this holiday… JUMP TO THAT.) The BABYLON BEE hits the nail on the head! They use sarcasm to show the way to the GOP’s proud history!
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Senate has unanimously passed a resolution to recognize Juneteenth as a federal holiday, commemorating the glorious day Republicans freed the last of the Democrats’ slaves.
“We are so proud to show the world how not racist we are by officially recognizing the day the Republicans came charging in to free all our slaves,” said Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer. “Yeah– we Democrats did a little ‘whoopsie’ with that whole slavery thing, but the Republicans corrected it. Thanks, Republicans!”
During this year’s Juneteenth, the nation will gather to celebrate the American political party that was founded on protecting human rights of people of all skin colors. Democrats around the country will write letters of apology and organize celebrations for the vast network of Christians, Catholics, Quakers, and Republicans who fought and died to end the scourge of slavery in America.
Congress has also approved the building of a giant elephant statue in D.C. to honor the party responsible for the freeing of slaves from Democrat plantations.
Biden has confirmed he will organize a celebration at the White House after he lays a wreath on the grave of his best friend Robert Byrd.
FIRST, two 5-minute videos on the Republican’s proud history that led to JUNETEENTH

The Inconvenient Truth |
The Inconvenient Truth |
Last year, President Joe Biden made Juneteenth the newest federal holiday. The day is said to commemorate slaves in Texas hearing the news of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and of their impending freedom on June 19, 1865. Let’s set aside the fact the 13th Amendment wasn’t ratified until December 1865 and was not officially banned in President Biden’s home state of Delaware until 1901. June 19, 2020, was the first time that many Americans heard the word Juneteenth, but it wasn’t in connection with freed slaves from a century and a half ago, it was a part of the protests following the death of George Floyd. Jason believes the connection to Floyd is problematic. “I suspect most people don’t fully comprehend or get Juneteenth. It’s a national holiday because of the death of George Floyd, not because our political leaders had a sincere interest in celebrating the emancipation of slaves in Texas or across the South.” Jason has an alternative to the polarizing, over-politicized holiday. “Fearless” contributor Delano Squires shares his thoughts and discusses the problem with the colors red, green, and black being associated with Juneteenth. “Fearless” soldier Dave Shannon answers the question of whether America will ever accept the holiday as a legitimate one. Plus, Shemeka Michelle has some words for Joy Reid.
The following comes by way of AMERICAN DEFENSE NEWS:
ANALYSIS – While the Left wants to make the heretofore little-known date of June 19, 1965, a new holiday to bash America due to its partial history of slavery, Juneteenth (as it is now known) is not the date slavery ended in the United States.
Or the day the last slaves were freed.
[….]
Juneteenth is actually only a day to celebrate a great Republican president’s historic message freeing the slaves finally reaching the Confederate state of Texas.
That great Republican president was of course, Abraham Lincoln, and his historic message was the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863.
As the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war, Lincoln’s proclamation declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free.”
So, January 1, 1963, could be a great day to celebrate. But despite Lincoln’s’ message, the reality or ending slavery took a while longer.
So, what exactly is Juneteenth about?
Well, this latest federal holiday, created last year when President Biden signed legislation that made Juneteenth a federal holiday in the wake of the Black Lives Matters’ (BLM) 2020 ‘summer of love’ and riots, marks the day residents of Galveston received General Orders No. 3, which freed slaves in Texas.
On June 19, 1865, about two months after the Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Va., Gordon Granger, a Union general, arrived in Galveston, Texas, the last remaining Confederate state, to inform enslaved black Americans of their freedom and that the Civil War had ended.
That is the day slavery officially ended in the Confederate South.
However, that wasn’t the end of slavery in America. That didn’t come until a full six months later on December 6, 1865.
And that is another great day to celebrate.
That is the date the last American slaves in two remaining Union states (Kentucky which was nominally part of the Union and Biden’s home state of Delaware) were officially freed when the 13th Amendment was ratified and officially proclaimed.
That’s the real date slavery fully ended in America.
So, while Juneteenth has some significance for Texas and the Confederacy, it’s neither the day announcing the end of slavery by a great Republican President on January 1, 1963, nor the date slavery was finally ended in the entire United States on December 6, 1865.
It is the date Lincoln’s freeing of the slaves finally reached Texas though. The last Confederate state standing.

When Leftist Carpet Hair Professors Attack (Machete Edition)
I think this is the end result — as it is in any leftist governing structure since before Marx — which is the free press and thought at the end of a guillotine (machete, gun, whatever). The first video is the original confrontation of this radical Leftist professor and some pro-life students — the second is the NEW YORK POST knocking on her door and getting a machete put to their reporters throat:
HOT AIR posts on the violence of this leftist totalitarian brainwashing kids:
There’s been an update to the story David covered about Shellyne Rodriguez, the pro-abortion art professor who recently appeared to lose her mind. First, she was filmed screaming at a pro-life student and knocking over his display table, and telling him to kill himself. Then, when a New York Post reporter knocked on her apartment door to interview her, she came out and put a machete to his throat, and chased him down the street wielding the sharp blade. By this point, you might be wondering precisely what it takes to get fired at Hunter College. As it turns out, the machete did the trick. The school parted ways with her yesterday, saying she would “not be returning to teach” at their college. On top of that, we’ve now learned that Rodriguez has a lengthy history with the NYPD, so the plot continues to thicken.
Shellyne Rodriguez was sacked by Hunter College just hours after the adjunct professor was caught on camera holding the blade to the veteran reporter’s neck while threatening to “chop” him up outside her Bronx apartment.
“Hunter College strongly condemns the unacceptable actions of Shellyne Rodriguez and has taken immediate action,” school spokesman Vince Dimiceli told The Post.
“Rodriguez has been relieved of her duties at Hunter College effective immediately, and will not be returning to teach at the school.”
This could be seen as good news for Hunter College, but there still seems to be something missing from this story. There is very clear video out there of her holding a machete to a reporter’s neck and chasing him down the street while menacing him. How is it that we’re not seeing an arrest in this case? Is that just considered to be legal behavior in Gotham these days? Perhaps. It’s honestly getting hard to tell anymore.
As for the “prior history” I mentioned above, it turns out that Rodriguez is in the middle of a lawsuit against the NYPD dating back to 2020. You probably won’t be surprised to learn that she took part in the George Floyd protest during the Summer of Love. She managed to get herself arrested during one of the riots and she claims that she was a victim of police abuse during and after the arrest.
Like me, you might be surprised to hear that anyone got arrested in New York during those riots, but it apparently did happen on rare occasions. Rodriguez claims that she was zip-tied and tossed into a van. She also accuses the police of “punching her in the stomach” during the arrest, though amazingly, no video of that seems to have surfaced despite the riots being filmed almost constantly from multiple angles. Her lawsuit claims that the zip ties left her with “severe nerve damage.”
Based on Rodriguez’s performances this week, how do you suppose she acted during the BLM riots? Was she one of those “peaceful protesters” that CNN so loves to talk about? Or might she have started getting physical with either some counterprotesters or the cops? …..
Gunshots Interrupt Newscasters (Another Day in Minneapolis)
(GATEWAY PUNDIT hat-tip) The George Floyd autonomous zone was hoping to have a moment of silence for George Floyd today but instead, the autonomous zone broke out in gunfire.
This one is great because they were talking about the “Kumbaya” moments. When the reporter came back, he dropped the truth that the lack of police presence has created an increase in crime. Duh.

If A Mistrial Happens On Appeal…. This Is Why
The judge in Minneapolis acknowledges Maxine Waters’ incendiary remarks. (Apr 19, 2021)
(I doubt a mistrial will come, but the above and below will be the reason if this trial is done again.) A couple things… this trial should have not been in the same town/state where the offense happened. And the jurors should have been sequestered. These two facts may provide a mistrial for the defense. LEGAL INSURRECTION notes a juror’s comments as well:
Well before the guilty verdict was announced in the Derek Chauvin trial earlier this week, there were concerns that fears of riots breaking out or jury members being personally targeted if they voted the “wrong way” would play a role in their deliberations, especially after some “news” outlets stupidly revealed previously unknown personal information on some of the jurors in the closing days of the trial.
Lisa Christensen, who was an alternate juror in the trial (but did not know she was an alternate until just before deliberations began), gave an interview to Minneapolis news station KARE 11 on Thursday where she provided the first insight the public is getting into what went through the minds of jurors before and during the trial. Some of the things she said during the interview raised more questions regarding the possibility that some jurors feared voting to acquit would hurt their city – or them.
Christensen, who lives in Brooklyn Center, told reporter Lou Raguse that she had “mixed feelings” about the possibility of being a juror when she filled out the jury questionnaire:
“There was a question on the questionnaire [asking if she wanted to be a juror] and I put I did not know. The reason, at that time, was I did not know what the outcome was going to be, so I felt like either way you are going to disappoint one group or the other. I did not want to go through rioting and destruction again and I was concerned about people coming to my house if they were not happy with the verdict.”
[….]
During the interview, Christensen made it clear that she believed Chauvin was guilty and says she would have voted that way had she been a part of deliberations. Her exchange with the KARE reporter as well as other statements she’s made to the media since then give me the feeling she had determined Chauvin’s guilty early on, but that’s just my impression.
This is my personal opinion, of course, but it’s hard to believe that fear of retaliation wasn’t present in the jury room on some level, even if it wasn’t explicitly discussed. If you’ll recall, during the jury selection process, some prospective jurors admitted to fears of being targeted by rioters.
Human emotions are what they are. Though they were partially sequestered throughout the trial, none of the Chauvin jurors could have possibly missed the destruction that happened in Minneapolis after George Floyd’s death, if not also the nightly rioting that happened in cities like Portland and Seattle.
Keep in mind, too, that it’s highly unlikely that any juror would openly admit that safety concerns played a role in their decision to convict. It’s not very often you see people who are put in the position of making decisions that impact others admit they voted the way they did because they were fearful of what might happen to them if they didn’t….

George Floyd Was Fighting Police (Body Cam Footage)…
…. Remember he had enough fentanyl in him to kill 4 people. (He essentially died from a heart attack.) I guess that’s why he was acting so crazy? (See a previous Candace Owens video — 2nd video.) I said when I saw the 2nd video BELOW that Keith “X” Ellison has created another riot when these charges are dropped or not supported in a jury, THE HILL:
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) has upgraded the charge against Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who knelt on George Floyd‘s neck for more than eight minutes shortly before Floyd died, to second-degree murder.
Ellison also charged Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane — the other officers who were at the scene of Floyd’s death — with aiding and abetting second-degree murder Wednesday afternoon at a press conference.
Chauvin was initially arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter on Friday by the Hennepin County attorney’s office. Both the Hennepin County medical examiner and an independent examiner hired by Floyd’s family ruled Floyd’s death a homicide…..
This first video is the earliest footage, I will follow it up with video that came out a few days after Floyd’s death:
