Most Americans seem to be coming out of their imposed isolation, quarantine, and despair, not to mention uncovering their faces by taking off those filthy face diapers to be able to breathe clean, fresh air!
What a glorious "independence day"!
Notice I wrote, most. Still, in some areas of the country, the gulags remain in place, such as in the "barbed-wire prisoner of war camp" of Michigan. In that tortured state, the Stalin-like copy-cat, so-called governor, Gretchen Whitmer -- even though the Michigan supreme court ruled that her draconian covid restrictions violated the state constitution -- somehow, is still getting away with her felonious restrictions on the good citizens of Michigan...
That, my dear readers, makes Whitmer an outlaw, and she should be impeached; removed from office, prosecuted and thrown in jail for the rest of her natural life. Not to mention that the demonic governor, Whitmer, is also guilty of murder in the first degree -- as is the former vice president, Biden -- for her rabid support of the killing of the pre-born. For that crime, she should suffer the death penalty, that is, if she doesn't repent and beg -- beg! -- for forgiveness!
That would be a cause for celebration! Repentance, that is...

As we know, Independence Day is just around the corner (July 4th..). A grand day to celebrate our breaking away from the clutches of King George III, as well as doing some barbecuing. Well, it looks as though we'll have another "independence day." It's called "Juneteenth"...
What in hades (hell) is "Juneteenth," anyway??
Supposedly, this "holiday" celebrates the emancipation of former slaves that occurred during and after the War between the States, or, more correctly, the War of Northern Aggression.
President Abraham Lincoln is credited with "freeing the slaves" -- nationwide -- but, believe it or not, that's not the case at all.
Here is a bit of sobering information that may shred the myth of "the great emancipator," Abraham Lincoln; from theroot.com, and written by Henry Gates, Jr...
"Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, right? Well, the truth is a bit more complicated than that; actually, the truth is very complicated, leading even usually sober commentators such as the venerable historian Lerone Bennett Jr. to cry “foul,” and to do so quite bitterly, suggesting that black people have been sold a bill of goods when it comes to “The Great Emancipator.” This week’s column, honoring another important anniversary of the Civil War, attempts to answer that question, a question as complex as Lincoln’s attitudes toward the black people he was seeking to liberate, attitudes that led Frederick Douglass himself to call Lincoln, a decade following his assassination, “the white man’s president.”
"The simple answer is yes, and no. As we saw in my column last month (“Who Legalized Arming Black Men to Kill Confederates?”), the Emancipation Proclamation, despite its enormous symbolic significance, did not abolish the institution of slavery in the United States. Rather, it “freed” any slave in the Confederate states (that’s right—it did not apply to states in the Union in which slavery remained legal) who could manage to flee her or his plantation and make their way behind liberating Union lines. Historians estimate that as many as 500,000 black people managed to do this. So we might say that these black people freed themselves. To put this number into a bit of perspective, in 1860 there were about 3.9 million enslaved African Americans, which means that by the end of the Civil War, some 3.4 million black people remained in bondage, in spite of the Emancipation Proclamation. So why are African Americans free today? Because of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which Lincoln, especially, knew was essential for the permanent abolition of slavery."
In addition, the great Professor, Thomas Sowell, writes in his excellent book: The Thomas Sowell Reader, provides some insightful commentary about slavery in the chapter titled “Twisted History”...
Here is an excerpt from that book...
"...Among those who turned against slavery in the 18th century were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and other American leaders. You could research all of the 18th century Africa or Asia or the Middle East without finding any comparable rejection of slavery there. But who is singled out for scathing criticism today? American leaders of the 18th century.
"...It is clear from the private correspondence of Washington, Jefferson, and many others that their moral rejection of slavery was unambiguous...
"In 1862, a ship carrying slaves from Africa to Cuba, in violation of a ban on the international slave trade, was captured on the high seas by the U.S. Navy. The crew were imprisoned and the captain was hanged in the United States – despite the fact that slavery itself was still legal at the time in Africa, Cuba, and in the United States. What does this tell us? That enslaving people was considered an abomination. But what to do with millions of people who were already enslaved was not equally clear.
"That question was finally answered by a war in which one life was lost [620,000 Civil War casualties] for every six people freed [3.9 million]. Maybe that was the only answer. But don’t pretend today that it was an easy answer – or that those who grappled with the dilemma in the 18th century were some special villains when most leaders and most people around the world saw nothing wrong with slavery.
"Incidentally, the September 2003 issue of National Geographic had an article about the millions of people still enslaved around the world right now. But where is the moral indignation about that?"
End of excerpt...
As has been pointed out, the institution of slavery is an evil that should be abolished throughout the world, but there is too much money involved, as well as the fact that those who buy and sell human beings are indulging in pure evil for filthy lucre's sake.
I would have to point out the glaring hypocrisy of the current cabal of black leaders, especially those who have been elected to the congress and the senate, condemning slavery in all its forms, but not the continued genocide of their own race, through abortion.
It is a fact, that though blacks represent about 14-15 percent of the total population of the U.S., the percentage of black babies slaughtered through abortion is somewhere between 34 and 40 percent! Why such a spread in the percentages? Because only 48 of the 50 states report those poor babies killed in abortions to the CDC... The two most populace states: California and New York, do not report such "statistics," with New York being the abortion capital of the U.S.!
So, by all means, let us celebrate another federal holiday and chow-down on some great barbecue -- in Michigan, too, I hope! But at the same time, I would urge all black "leaders" to fight for the life of their precious pre-born and stop their incessant support for the descendants of the radical eugenics monster, Margaret Sanger...
Pray for strength and honor!
Viva Cristo Rey! Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro and Fr. Emil Kapaun, pray for us!
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...
