Having already resurrected "Merry Christmas", President Trump will bring Columbus Day back from the ashes

However, reports of Columbus Day's demise, like that of Christmas, may be exaggerated.

The federal holiday, the second Monday in October, was still known as Columbus Day during Biden’s term, but also as Indigenous Peoples Day.

lol, Columbus Day becoming a federal holiday was the result of a bunch of lobbying by Italian-American lobbying groups who wanted the government to celebrate Italian heritage. At least we're keeping DEI for those of us who warrant it - i.e. us white men of European descent.

Which just shows with enough time any group can come to be considered white.

November 5th comes to mind, but try to come up with something earlier in the year. We definitely need another three day weekend in the summer.

Not being able to deport the first Americans, I guess he figures taking away their holiday is the next best way to show disrespect.

No, man - we have all of March and April and nearly all of May with no holidays (outside of education type breaks which don't count as there aren't matching federal holidays for Easter/Spring break). Of course, now I'm retired it doesn't make a personal difference to me.

That would seem to be more of an anti-English holiday.

And who could forget that Trump's birthday is Flag Day?
Had to check to make sure this official White House statement is real. It is.

A date that will live in infamy.

Was there a car crash or something? What happened on June 7th, 1941?

Good Friday is a market holiday. Veterans Day is not, oddly enough.
