Illinois Might Have Fourteen State Employee Holidays

Depending on whether or not Casmir Pulaski’s Birthday is considered a state holiday, Illinois has thirteen or fourteen days when state employees get paid for staying home.

I think the Friday after Thanksgiving should be included, but maybe my memory is incorrect.

Now comes Juneteenth, (June 19th) the day when the last slaves were freed.

The Chicago Tribune reports,

“…an Illinois Senate committee this week advanced a proposal to make Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in this country, a paid state holiday..”

Three weeks off work.

Not a bad gig.

Illinois Might Have Fourteen State Employee Holidays — 17 Comments

  1. How about Duckworth Day, April 1st?

    But it’s only a holiday for nonwhites. Nonwhites can “duckout” of work and still get paid!

    Excerpt:

    “Poor Colin Kahl. The Stanford professor is qualified, experienced, and shares President Biden’s views on defense and foreign policy. Ordinarily, that would be enough to get confirmed to a job like undersecretary of defense for policy.

    But no more! Three and a half years after #MeToo, the casting couch has migrated from Hollywood to Capitol Hill, thanks to Sen. Tammy Duckworth.

    On Tuesday, Sen. Duckworth announced that, since President Biden’s political appointees were insufficiently diverse, she would be voting against any Biden nominees with white skin color, starting with Kahl. The only exception, Duckworth said, would be for LGBTQ nominees.

    Well, Kahl will have a hard time pulling off a racial rebranding this late. So, if he wants to revive his career, he knows what he needs to do. He can slap on a wig and announce he’s now calling himself Cassandra Kahl. Or he can bend over and start taking it like a man. No whining now, Colin.

    This is the state of 2021 liberalism. The flesh under white skin is an abomination, curable only by homosexuality or hormone pills.”

    I wonder what Uber Jew has to say about Duckworths racist rants. Probably supports it, since Jews are exempted of course, the Cabinet is loaded with them, but we’re not supposed to notice.

  2. Well, the husband of VP Kamala is called the ‘second gentleman’

  3. Fourteen – is that all ?

    How about a holiday to honor Lord Jumbo Boy ?

    In fact make it two days, just because a man of his stature deserves it.

  4. If Juneteenth becomes a holiday, then no Democrat politicians nor anyone who votes for Democrats should gain any benefits from the holiday. The Democrat Party in Congress vigorously fought REPUBLICAN President Abraham Lincoln’s efforts to free the slaves. Thank God for Lincoln and Republicans else we might still have slavery if Democrats were in total control.

  5. Hey, Ms. T, you’re a real pip. Keep up the good work and laughs.

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is preparing to use mass data collection, interagency prioritization directives, psychological operations and online censorship to crush what its recently confirmed Secretary Alejandro Mayourkas, a Jew from Cuba, has deemed “domestic violent extremism,” National Justice can report.

    Who does the DHS consider to be a domestic violent extremist? The March 1st Director of National Intelligence threat assessment ordered by the Biden administration lists anti-abortion activists, environmentalists, members of militias, and advocates for white people as America’s top national security threats.

  6. Does anyone know what happened with state employees who quarantined at home during the pandemic?

    Secretary of State facilities were, for the most part, completely shut down and the employees stayed home.

    How about the legislators?

    Were they paid?

  7. Besides Duckworth, a moronic senator from Hawaii named Hirono, also wants to oppose white candidates to the Biden cabinet. Both of these stupid senators will violate the Civil Rights Act of the U.S. if they oppose candidates because of their race, white. If they do follow through, the proper legal authority in DC should arrest and charge these doofus senators with violating the Civil Rights Act.

  8. Bred Winner: political PARTY does not matter but rather political IDEOLOGY.

    Let me fix that for you:

    The *CONSERVATIVES* in Congress vigorously fought *PROGRESSIVE* President Abraham Lincoln’s efforts to free the slaves.

    Thank God for Lincoln and *PROGRESSIVES* else we might still have slavery if *CONSERVATIVES* were in total control.

  9. Duckworth called in an air strike on her own downed helicopter, downed because she flew into a no go zone.

    A real genius.

    She lost her legs, but some of her crew lost their lives.

    I didn’t realize when a person loses their legs they are automatically protected against criticism…

    This is kind of like playing the race card huh.

    But she plays that card too.

    Born in Bangkok, maybe she should return there.

  10. I could use a couple more as these incompetent A-Holes tax me regardless so I may as well Par Tay Har Tay! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

  11. Looks like prarie burner has his/her own version of history.

    In fact it was the Democrats in Congress who opposed Lincoln’s efforts to free the slaves. One hundred years later, Democrats in Congress were dragging their feet with regard to the Civil Rights Act. In both the House and Senate, a greater proportion of Republicans than Democrats voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act. The father of Al Gore, Democrat Senator Gore from TENN, voted against the Civil Rights Act.

  12. Clearly bred winner has a problem with reading comprehension.

    Reread my comment: there is nothing inaccurate about it.

    If only modern republicans were as progressive as they used to be…
