Thanks to Joe Biden, June 19th is a Federal Holiday so banks and post offices are closed to for us reflect on the end of slavery. The only problem is, June 19, 1865 is not the date slavery ended which makes this a bogus erroneous holiday. Both the States of Kentucky and Joe Biden’s very own Delaware continued to practice slavery until December of that year!
The Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, was ratified on December 18, 1865, slavery was officially abolished in the United States with the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.
Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States. It began to be celebrated annually on June 19 in 2021 because of Joe Biden. The intent was said to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. The holiday’s name, first used in the 1890s, is a portmanteau of the words “June” and “nineteenth”, referring to June 19, 1865, the day when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War.
The Emancipation Proclamation, officially Proclamation 95, was a presidential proclamation and executive order issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, during the American Civil War.

Steve Forrest does a good job of summarizing the real intent of Joe Biden’s bogus racebaiting holiday near the end of his video.
“Why didn’t they choose December 18th to be the celebration of the end of slavery? Well it comes down to a very simple fact. The narrative they want you to know is; the North was good and the South was bad. This is not true.
Slavery’s last stronghold in the United States took place in the states that fought for the North, but this ruins the narrative. It ruins the narrative that the South is bad, that the Confederates were the last holdouts for slavery. In fact it was states in the North that were the last holdouts for slavery.
Now I believe we should celebrate the end of slavery, and in my opinion December 18th is much more important than Juneteenth, but I don’t think the federal government will ever recognize the end of slavery as a National Holiday.
Well I’ll let you make your own decisions about what should be the true celebration for the end of slavery.
Now I can’t end any video about slavery without saying that slavery still exists in the United States. It’s called human trafficking. It’s illegal and we need to fight it. We need to make sure that our representatives in the government are doing all they can to end this terrible practice, to help the victims, and help them gain their freedom. So if you hate slavery stand up and help end human trafficking. Thank you.”
CONCLUSION:
I was against the Federal Holiday added by Joe Biden for several reasons. First, it was a divisive holiday with the design of racially dividing the country, and second it is inaccurate to American history.
Here’s a list of Federal Holidays for 2025:
- New Year’s Day: January 1st (Wednesday)
- Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday: Third Monday in January (January 20th)
- Washington’s Birthday (Presidents’ Day): Third Monday in February (February 17th)
- Memorial Day: Last Monday in May (May 26th)
- Juneteenth National Independence Day: June 19th (Thursday)
- Independence Day: July 4th (Friday)
- Labor Day: First Monday in September (September 1st)
- Columbus Day: Second Monday in October (October 13th)
- Veterans Day: November 11th (Tuesday)
- Thanksgiving Day: Fourth Thursday in November (November 27th)
- Christmas Day: December 25th (Thursday)
YouTube content creator Steve Forrest did a good job of calling out the idiocy of this Joe Biden holiday while being civil and polite.
And for those who would call me a racist, nothing can be farther from the truth. I’m a realist, and I’m not alone in this thought process of Juneteenth

Make no mistake, the only intent of this holiday as well as other race baiting initiatives such as paying black people reparations for past slavery, removing Civil War monuments and flags of the past to erase our heritage and people like black Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson openly engaging in discriminatory hiring practices is for the enemy within to try to divide us to conquer us.

Congress needs to rescind the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, making Juneteenth a federal holiday. America must remain a melting pot and we already have a National Independence Day we celebrate July 4th!
