Bill to make Juneteenth a state holiday in Illinois set for final vote – State Journal-Register (Springfield)

If passed by the House and signed by Gov. JB Pritzker by June 19, this year's Juneteenth would be an official state holiday. Because the holiday falls on a Saturday this year, Monday would be the day off for state workers.

I bought a couple of guns on MLK day. I thought it was fitting. Now another fake holiday honoring a fake event created to pacify the 14% so it looks like I may add something to my arsenal.
