Okay, okay. I realize this wasn’t in your inbox at 0500 Eastern this week. Sue me, you get what you pay for. I mean, for heaven’s sake, it is a national holiday! (see below). While the indictment of a former President (and leading Republican candidate to become the next one) was worthy of note here, I put off reaction until it had time to sink in, both into my consciousness and that of the polity. After a week or so of cogitating upon it, I am ready to discuss it.
I don't have any REAL objection to Columbus Day, but the payoff to one ethnicity raises questions, no? I mean, St. Paddy's Day isn't a national holiday.
Concur on both opinions. I don't think we'd ever be able to nuke columbus day, as that's become political now, as random things tend to do these days for no particularly good reason.
I laughed at comments that bathroom door locks were proper for storage of classified documents. Back in the day my file cabinet for classified docs had a 5 turn combo lock and bar. A guard would come around and check the lock. The guard would also rifle thru you desk to see if you had left a doc out. Bad things could happen if guard found anything amiss!!!
As a progressive Democrat I pretty much agree with everything you said including the part about a proper investigation of what's going on with the Biden's ..I think if I had to choose a republican candidate it might be Pence.. definitely Pence over Trump or DeSantis..... oh and I'll be forwarding that comment about nannying on to your wife
Well done, Bryan. Concur 100% on Trump and Juneteenth. Hillary’s transgressions likely cost her the presidency, so she did pay a price — as did we all, given the nature of the victor.
“Numerous efforts in North America have honored Native American people as part of Columbus Day, or by designating two holidays for the same date.”

Same for CincPacFlt EOC-SIOP/SCI target lists for which C322 was designated custodian!

Agreed:
“Either of these fears arises from tumbled moral gyrocompasses,
wherein political violence is seen as a legitimate outlet for dissent.”

Juneteenth is a holiday for Texas, not the nation. The day the 13th Amendment was passed would be more appropriate.
