For John, BLUF: There are Presidents to celebrate and Presidents for whom we shouold have distain. But, overall, oour Constitution has allowed us an Executive who can lift us up, but not drag us down too far. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Happy Presidents Day!
I am so old I can remember when we had both a Washington's Borthday and a Lincoln's Birthday, both in February. Then we got a consolidated holiday. Which is not a bad thing. And now someone comes along and tries to make it better.
A Congresswoman Claudia Tenney Press Release 14 February 2025.
Here it is:
Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today introduced the Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act to officially designate June 14 as a federal holiday to commemorate President Donald J. Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day.I thought it was clever of the Congresswoman to tie the two items together, Flag Day and President Trump's Birthday. I don't think it will make it out of committee, or if it does, if it will pass through Congress. But, a clever idea.Born on June 14, 1946, President Donald J. Trump’s birthday coincided with Flag Day, which is observed annually and recognizes the anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official US flag in 1777. This legislation would permanently codify a new federal holiday called “Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day” on June 14 to honor this historic day.
“No modern president has been more pivotal for our country than Donald J. Trump. As both our 45th and 47th President, he is the most consequential President in modern American history, leading our country at a time of great international and domestic turmoil. From brokering the historic Abraham Accords to championing the largest tax relief package in American history, his impact on the nation is undeniable. Just as George Washington’s Birthday is codified as a federal holiday, this bill will add Trump’s Birthday to this list, recognizing him as the founder of America’s Golden Age. Additionally, as our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we should create a new federal holiday honoring the American Flag and all that it represents. By designating Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day as a federal holiday, we can ensure President Trump’s contributions to American greatness and the importance of the American Flag are forever enshrined into law,” said Congresswoman Tenney.
I do think it is possible that President Trump will have a major impact on the nation. His DOGE is one big opportunity. For sure, to clean up the swamp of Federal Appropriations would be a big deal, especially if he was able to add to that getting the budget under control. Then there is hihs efforts to bring peace to the Ukriane and in the Holy Land.
Hat tip to my Wife, who noted this to me.
