But first  Melanie Moore of Georgia addresses the right wing’s bogus Critical Race Theory crap (2:20)

 The right wing and their media empires have taken a truly bogus issue (critical race theory) and ridden it for all it is worth. They have even had it become legislation in many states. As I told a friend when Biden signed the bill making Juneteenth a national holiday that this was a good day. But in Iowa we can’t say why because it violates the new law. But we can agree that Juneteenth is a good thing.

Now we come to the close of what I am now calling the patriotic month that begins with Memorial Day, then adds the D-Day memorial, Flag Day (no we don’t celebrate Trump’s birthday), now we add Juneteenth to the list and ends two weeks later on July 4th. Pretty good lineup, I’d say.

If you want to do something patriotic and cheap during this time, get vaccinated. Your country needs you. And you may get a $10 gift certificate for a free donut. But mostly you do what your country needs.
