Is the holiday called Washington's Birthday or President's Day... or Presidents' Day?

-

Every year, on the third Monday of February, Americans observe Washington's Birthday as a federal holiday, but people keep calling it Presidents' Day (never mind the apostrophe). This may be because George Washington's date of birth is February 22, 1732. Thus, people call it that day because the Washington's Birthday federal holiday never falls on February 22 under the current form in which the holiday its observed.

A better cause of why the Washington's Birthday federal holiday is colloquially referred to as President's Day is because they honor every President that has served in America.

As a state holiday, the name varies from state to state, including Washington's Birthday, Presidents' Day, President's Day, and Washington's and Lincoln's Birthday.

Depending upon the specific law, the state holiday might officially celebrate Washington alone, or Washington and Abraham Lincoln (whose birthday is February 12).

We can call the holiday either Washington's Birthday or Presidents' Day, whichever one we like to call it more.

Why the Squad of four congresswomen hates America

-

The "Squad" of four congresswomen, all of who despise American values. It is a battle between America and the progressive, globalist left. Recently, I have been getting in touch with the four congresswomen, all criticized by Donald Trump as being "very racist" and "troublemaking". The four congresswomen of the Squad are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (MN-5), Ayanna Pressley (MA-7), and Rashida Tlaib (MI-13). Of these, only Ilhan Omar was born outside the United States, in Mogadishu, Somalia; the rest were born on U.S. soil. The four progressive congresswomen have shown their hatred of America through repeated anti-Semitic comments, bashing Israel with unfounded criticisms (one of America's close allies which the left hates), embracing abortion until birth, and advocating for socialism and open borders. Even worse, now they are calling to abolish ICE (the Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the Department of Homeland...

My criticism of the Green New Deal #GreenNewDeal #POTUS

The Green New Deal is a plan proposed by the Democratic Congress that is supposed to limit emissions that would cause climate change... ...but the Green New Deal does confer many unintended consequences. It is similar to global wealth redistribution. . @AOC ’s green new deal would end: Space travel Steaks Cars Airplanes Tanks Cows Nuclear energy & nuclear weapons Millions of American jobs U.S. dominance on the world stage Is this is the Democrats’ 2020 agenda? 🤔 — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) February 11, 2019 Seeing how almost every activity humans do today emit small amounts of greenhouse gases. Ocasio-Cortez also wants to regulate "cow farts" because methane supposedly causes climate change. However, methane in the atmosphere is usually measured in parts per billion (ppb), while carbon dioxide is measured in parts per million (ppm). Wind farms and solar panels also rely on fossil fuels to be built (or even maintained). Thus, the Gree...
