Emails obtained by The Daily Wire show the poultry industry giant selling shirts for its annual Juneteenth celebration that say the holiday, marking the day in 1865 that African Americans in Texas learned that slavery had been abolished in the United States, is the nation’s true independence day. “Juneteenth is my Independence Day,” reads one shirt offered, while another, under a crossed out July 4 date, states, “Juneteenth 1865

That was in Texas in June 1865, meanwhile the slaves in Delaware were not emancipated until December 1865.

"That was in Texas in June 1865, meanwhile the slaves in...Joe Biden's....Delaware were not emancipated until December 1865" Minor edit. I grew up in south east Texas, Juneteeth was primarily a Local Affair, chief hallmark was Family Reunion get togethers in Parks and at the Beaches. Keep in mind that at that time Black Families had a two parent, intact family, percentage that rivaled if not exceed that of White families, something that is now a rarity, with three/four generations that have never had a "Fulltime Male" in the household..

As a As Black man born and raised in 70s and 80s rural WV I never heard of Juneteenth. Fast forward to 1992 and I'm a young USN sailor stationed in the CA Bay Area. I went to Oakland's Lake Meritt for their annual Juneteenth celebration. A nice older Black couple who was selling memorabilia explained the day to me. Never in my life did I think that it would become a federal holiday. As far as Tyson goes, I love chicken and groceries are more expensive than years past. Even so I will never buy another Tyson product.

Michelle Obama has steered clear of campaigning for Joe Biden over her private frustration with how the family treated friend Kathleen Buhle during her messy divorce from Hunter Biden, a new report claims.

Buhle and Hunter split in 2017 and details of the divorce resurfaced when she testified at his recent federal gun trial.

Former President Trump has claimed that President Biden will be “pumped up” on drugs to enhance his performance at Thursday’s debate, including getting a “big fat shot in the ass.” His assertions have been dismissed by some segments of the media as campaign bluster — but private doctors to the rich and famous tell The Post that VIPs often use drug cocktails and other treatments to give themselves an edge before they take the spotlight for a big event. These can include everything from peptides infusion for a boost in brain function, Botox to avoid a sweaty brow, Adderall for enhanced focus — and yes, sometimes even a shot

The first and perhaps only presidential debate between presumed nominees Donald Trump and Joe Biden takes place on June 27 in CNN’s Atlanta headquarters. Home court advantage goes to President Biden. Is there anyone at CNN, aside from the janitors and cleaning crew, that support Trump? Doubtful. The debate will be moderated by the Trump hating undynamic duo of Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. CNN will mute the microphones, to keep Trump from objecting to Biden’s fabrications, and likely to silence Biden’s gibberish, something occurring with increasing frequency.

Former President Donald Trump is pulling ahead of President Joe Biden in the national race for the White House, a Quinnipiac University poll found. Trump is leading Biden in a matchup ahead of Thursday’s presidential debate. According to the poll’s results, Trump leads Biden by four percentage points — 49 percent support to 45 percent support. This represents a change from Quinnipiac’s May poll, in which Biden had the edge, with 48 percent to Trump’s 47 percent support. In other words, the Manhattan jury’s controversial guilty verdict in Trump’s business records trial has had no negative effect on him. Rather, Biden appears to be the one suffering.

The organization, which was founded by an infamous racist with ties to the eugenics movement, made the announcement on Monday to coincide with the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. The Dobbs decision overturned the court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision — which had invented a constitutional right to abortion for 50 years — and returned the issue of abortion to individual states.

The party hadn’t won a seat in urban Toronto since the 2011 federal election,” CBC News marveled. CBC called the race a “nail-biter to the very end,” with Stewart’s Liberal opponent Leslie Church in the lead for about six out of seven hours of vote-counting. Stewart only took the lead when the final batch of votes was counted, vaulting to 42.1 percent
