My First Juneteenth As An Actual Holiday

This is not my first awareness of the Juneteenth “holiday.” Nor is it the first time I’ve raised a drink for it. With one of my wives being Black, I’ve been aware of the date and what significance it’s been held to have for well over 20 years. This is, however my first Juneteenth when it was an actually federally recognized and generally observed holiday. I’m even getting a day of with pay because of it!

Hence, I’m spreading the celebration of this day with a plethora of examples of why there was a serious and pervasive upside to the South losing their bid for independence and the Blacks being given their freedom and personhood.

They’re They’re Just Pottering Around

Hey! No worries. No complaints. They’re just pottering around. 😉 And hey! It’s Pride Month, when a young femme’s mind turns to experimentation and diversity, at least for the duration of June. 😆

ROFLMAO Yep! Now, admittedly, I’m old – older than 85% of the world’s population, so my upbringing was decided different than the younger crowd’s is. I was raised to expect the Apocalypse and trained to lived and thrive past it… in the highly unlikely event that I survived its beginning. 😉

And, Oh yeah; I always figured I be something akin to some cross between Mad Max and a 19th Century American pioneer. But no! Instead, I am The Dude. 😆 Well, except that the grocery store shelf are a lot more empty thanks to Brandon and Co..

Sure, this is sarcastic humor, but it also sadly a likely alteration of our school children’s curricula. Admittedly, however, it’s highly unlikely that pole dancing will be included as a course in 2023. Now, by 2030, all bets are off unless Americans actually do something to protect our children from the real threats they face in what should be our schools.

And no, this part isn’t bullshit. While pole dancing isn’t currently in the Olympics – Break Dancing, however, is as of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics – a number of people have and are working on getting in there. So, it’s perfectly natural for it to hit colleges and then high schools. 🙄

It’s extremely ironic – hypocritical too, if Biden is even aware of his own dementia – that Creepy Uncle Joe is blathering and ranting about keeping firearms out of the hands of the “Mentally Unstable.” 🙄 In theory, this dangerously senile dodderer has the nuclear arsenal of the US at his palsied, liver-spotted fingertips.

Remember, this is the same mush-brained remains of a man who went totally off script and essentially called for a Christian holy war against Russia.

On the bright-ish side, I’m fairly sure that the “Deep State” has taken measures to remove First Strike Capacity from Biden, much like they probably did to President Trump and Obama.

So Easy, So Commonsensical, So Proven To Be Prone To Evil

Give Mr. Bad Hands and his handlers some credit. Arguing to take firearms away from and keep them away from the mentally unstable is seriously easy to say, easy to believe in, and a normative pillar of “common sense gun control.” Who in their right mind would argue against it?

Who in their right mind would argue against it? Anyone with a knowledge and understanding of history.

Across a large swaths of the world, including to our shame America, psychiatry and the declaring of individuals as mentally unstable and unfit has a long and pernicious history of being weaponized and used as a means of tyranny. There is no reason, if the opportunity is presented, for that not to happen here again.

Indeed, it has happened here in the US as recently as 2009, when many veterans returning from Iraq and/or Afghanistan were forced to preemptively and prophylactically present evidence to the Obama Regime’s satisfaction that they were mentally stable enough to resist “right-wing extremism” or have their right to keep arms stripped from them.

They Can’t Build It And They Can’t Make It Better

But – or also, depending on how you want to approach this – there is neither the capacity nor the will to make anything close to unified registry or repository of mental health Diagnoses across the Several-States. Hence, even if someone was declared mentally unfit, they’d only have to change the state in which they purchased a firearm and/or resided to avoid that prohibition.

So, Biden’s statement is easy to say, but his doing so just another example of his mental incompetence and the mental instability of those who agree with it.
