Juneteenth

Today is Juneteenth.

Did you know that? I did. Every year there is news in the newspapers and on the TV machine about local celebrations and also celebrations in some of the larger cities around the US of A.

There is a person who seems not to have known much about it and now he says he made it famous. Funny thing though, it was famous before he talked about it. (I think you know who I am talking about. Yes, it's Donald Trump.)

For example, San Francisco is hosting its 70th Juneteenth celebration this year. Did Donald Trump make it famous 70 years ago when he was just a tiny kid? Me thinks not.

Something else related to that. Here is what Kayleigh McEnany said at the press briefing about Juneteenth.

"And as to Juneteenth, there were a lot of people who didn't know what Juneteenth was, and Google search has proved that. And you can see I looked at the chart on Google searches on Juneteenth - and this year, they went like this. (Motions upward.) And that's thanks to President Trump."

I do not think that the number of Google searches proves anything like that at all.

Think of all the searches on Donald Trump on Google. I don't know how many there are, but I would assume there could be as many as 100, maybe even 1000 searches about him. Does that mean that no one knows who Donald Trump is because now there are a lot of Google searches about him?

These are confusing times we are living in. Thanks to Donald Trump and his administration for helping in that effort.
