Juneteenth is now a Holiday!?

Juneteenth is now a federal holiday after President Biden signed legislation this afternoon. It's not often we add a new federal, so I think it's worthy of discussion and the following 

Here are some links on the history of Juneteenth....efforts to pass similar legislation in Florida, which have failed...and how states and companies respond to Federal holidays, in terms of providing paid or unpaid time off, etc.

Good news for conservatives with two court rulings today:

 *SCOTUS, in a win for religious freedom sides unanimously with the Catholic Church.

 *Florida Supreme Court kills a proposed 2022 constitutional amendment that could have legalized marijuana in our state. The issue was ballot language. The 3 conservative judges DeSantis put in the court made the difference in a 5-2 decision.

The kids in the Volusia County shootout with deputies are back in the news. Today, prosecutors announced the 14 year old girl will be tried in adult court....while the 12 year old boy will be tried in juvenile court. We'll debate whether this is the right call...or not.

Women should consume NO alcohol the entire time they are of child-bearing age....so says the World Health Organization. My take on this is the W.H.O. needs to butt out...it's an individual decision...but I'm a guy....what the heck do I know? I see this as a light hearted segment even though it's a serious topic.
