As much as Democrats made Juneteenth a national holiday in order to attempt to maintain America's racial wounds and keep Blacks on the Democrat plantation by pandering to the grievance mongers, we should instead celebrate it in line with its original intent:
Juneteenth commemorates Republicans taking action and freeing slaves from their Democrat masters.
Democrats have been mad at Republicans ever since.
Where gays and trannies don't get flying lessons by being thrown off buildings, is now considered by progressive LGBTQEIEIO idiots to be a "hateful symbol".
The Detroit News: Michigan LGBTQ group labels Israel flag 'harmful symbolism'
Apparently the mere presence of Israeli flag at the pride march caused trauma and, per the director of the pride festival, "real harm" to gay Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrian, and other LGBTQs from those hotbeds of toleration for LGBT rights.
This is, of course, totally unlike the trauma and "real harm" they might experience of being thrown off buildings or being stoned to death for being LGBTQ in those hotbeds of toleration like Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.
Jane's Law says it well: “The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.”
When five out of eight arrested terrorists in a single case are not just progressives but full fledged members of the Democratic party, it certainly constitutes evidence that the Democrats, the party out of power, has indeed gone insane, or at least back to their historic roots.
The Detroit News: 5 UM threat case suspects were Democratic Party members, ex-chair says
Yes, Democrat party members are the majority of the terrorist suspects. Five Democrat party members, and one of them not just a member but a paid campaign staffer for US Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
Well, Democrats are currently busy supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, the Mullahs of Iran, BLM, and any other anti-American group they can find so it's really not a reach for the party membership to get hands-on, now is it?
The Guardian: Russian frigate fires warning shots at British yacht in Channel
Yes, in the English Channel, a Russian warship fired rounds at a British yacht that was getting too close for the Russian's liking.
A Russian warship fired warning shots within a few hundred metres of a British pleasure yacht sailing across the Channel on Tuesday morning amid a period of heightened tensions between London and Moscow.
The rare incident took place at 11.40am more than 20 miles south of the Isle of Wight and less than 40 miles north of Normandy, France, when the yacht, identified as the private vessel Bright Future, sailed close to the Admiral Grigorovich and ignored at least one warning.
“We assess that this is an isolated incident and not linked to the UK’s interception of the Smyrtos this weekend. HMS Mersey has been monitoring the Russian vessel and support has been provided to the crew of the yacht. ”British sources said initial indications were that more than one shot was fired by Russian sailors after the yacht had got close to the heavily armed frigate. “Following attempts to contact a British vessel in the channel, the Grigorovich fired warning shots. These were not aimed at the vessel and were an attempt to prevent a possible collision,” the Ministry of Defence said.
Fox News: IDF announces elimination of Hezbollah commander behind murder of 5 American soldiers
ELIMINATED: Ali Musa Daqduq, a senior Hezbollah commander who held a series of 5 senior positions within Hezbollah," the IDF hailed on X. "Daqduq played a central role in advancing terrorist attacks and combat operations against Israel and IDF soldiers. In 2007, he orchestrated the kidnapping and murder of 5 American soldiers."
Good riddance to very bad rubbish. Daqduq was behind the killing of five US troops in Karbala, Iraq in 2007. Yes, Hezbollah, Iran, and Iraqi insurgents were working together to kill Americans then, and they still are now.
The murderer of CPT Brian Scott Freeman; 1LT Jacob Noal Fritz; SPC Jonathan Bryan Chism; PFC Shawn Patrick Falter; and PVT Jonathon Miles Millican has finally met justice.
Right along the way where, just a few months ago, a Hezbollah affiliated terrorist did a vehicle ramming attack at Temple Israel, a group that was until now unknown has apparently "adopted a road" and got the Road Commission to put up these signs:
Purely an attempt to intimidate, with the sign being placed right in the central area of the Jewish community here, right by a synagogue that had recently been attacked by an Arab terrorist.
There is no filed assumed name for the group in Oakland County, nor is there a state-level entity actually formed on record for this group. It does not legally exist as an organization.
We will have to see if the "group" whoever they are, ever show up to do the required twice per year cleanups as required for this propaganda stunt. My bet is they're not showing up as simply getting the signs up was the point.
So, in addition to the myriad of potholes, it seems we may now need to worry about IEDs on this stretch of road.
Update: The signs were taken down as of this morning (Monday June 15) and the Oakland County Road Commission is promising to review its "process" as to how the signs were ever approved to be issued and placed in the first place to a non-existent group.
Right when we need more mental health treatment in this state, Blue Cross Blue Shield is about to serious mess up insurance and thus the provision for mental health services in this state.
Click on Detroit: ‘Devastating’: Michigan mental health care workers concerned BCBSM billing change could cut access to counselors
BCBS is the big dog in Michigan health insurance coverage, and they run the vast majority of insurance coverage for people in this state. This change to mental health billing and in essence not covering therapy by limited license practitioners is going to massively reduce the number of eligible practitioners to be able to be provide treatment ,and prevent limited license practitioners from getting paid for hours they do in practice before they are fully licensed. And they can't ever get fully licensed without doing a ton of direct patient hours.
We already have a mental health crisis in this state and not enough practitioners to handle the load, and this is going to make it worse.
More mentally ill people and everyday people in crisis not getting covered treatment and thus not getting treatment - what could possibly go wrong?
One would think the government might intervene in such decisions, given BCBS' almost monopoly power in this state, but given the governor we have, don't count on it.
That's because BCBS has Governor Whitmer in their back pocket. Indeed, that would be an understatement. Her father was the former CEO of Blue Cross, and that's not the least of the ties.
Heck, she was practically installed as governor by BCBS.
Detroit Metro Times: Blue Cross has given more cash to Whitmer than any Michigan gov candidate in past decade
The Intercept: A Blue Cross CEO Encouraged a Michigan Woman to Get Into Politics. Now She’s Running for Governor and Says Single Payer Is Unrealistic
Don't expect the governor to step in against this destructive coverage decision anytime soon.
When it comes to the Gov's claims about being for "the people" of this state, the people sure take a back seat to the largest insurance company in the state.
