    • Ahh….No. Juneteenth is for the white liberal. There are hundreds of thousands of Vermont liberals that depend on virtue signaling events like this. A chance to glad-hand each other and crow about themselves and how righteous they are.

  3. Guessing the dozen or so African-Americans living in Vermont will enjoy having Juneteenth off……………

  4. Makes no sense. It is already a federal holiday. But I guess you gotta follow the trendy pack.

  5. Did I mention we have Idiots in charge, they need to get over it, injustices have been over for years against the blacks, and we already have specific days to acknowledge it.

    White liberals hate that their forefathers tainted them………………….Get over it !!

  6. I cannot adequately express the anger I feel that there is anyone who is leveling blame at Israel for their absolute right and need to wipe Hamas out, and for their taking umbrage at what is happening in Gaza while refusing to 100% condemn the utterly demonic attacks on innocent Israelis on October 7th.

    Israel has 100% sovereignty to do whatever is in its power to ensure that the threat of that ever happening again is powerfully and permanently neutralized.

    It is not Israel’s fault that Hamas uses innocent residents of Gaza as human shields to foment negative world opinion against Israel.

    And as far as believing any news reports out of the Middle East which portray Israel in a negative light and oppressor role, and Hamas as oppressed victim, they have a 100% track record of lying. Lying and cheating is a cultural norm for them.

    Shame on anyone who chooses to believe those lies. Yes, innocent people most always die in the actions which ensue when a bully picks a fight. But blame the bully, not Israel.

    Israel has proven to anyone with half a brain cell that as victims of the worst genocide in modern history, with the exception of preborn children in the US since 1973, they would never seek to commit genocide. In fact, they gave away Gaza to those who asked for it and even armed its police force so that it could practice and enforce its own desire for self-governance.

    But as is true about the terrorists there, they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Name one good humanity-enhancing, society-building thing they have ever done with any opportunity given them. They only thrive on tearing down, hatred, destruction, and the elimination of the State of Israel and the Jewish people.

    Anti-semitism never died after the Holocaust. It has merely waited for more opportune times throughout history to rear its demonic head.

    The historical myopia and amnesia exhibited by these virtue-signaling ninnies is unconscionable. What they are doing would be akin to blaming American Indians for killing settlers or soldiers who had unmercifully attacked their tribes, claiming that the Indians were bent on genocide of Caucasian people.

    But what these Vermont legislators have done with their letter to Biden only reflects and reinforces how out of touch with reality they are, as also evidenced by the absolute insanity of the cesspool of legislation they’ve proposed and passed in recent history.

  8. I’ll celebrate June 19th when this legislature gives us a Veterans Month instead of just a Veterans Day.
