Thank you also for not celebrating Juneteenth.

I know that sounds harsh, but hear me out.

America already has a holiday dedicated to liberty.

It's called Independence Day.

We don't need a committee meeting for freedom.

We don't need Liberty 2.0.

We don't need Freedom: The Sequel.

July 4th already covers the subject matter.

The Left has become obsessed with creating boutique holidays the way Starbucks creates seasonal drinks.

Every historical footnote gets its own observance, awareness campaign, commemorative T-shirt, and eventually a federal employee day off.

Pretty soon we'll have National Day of Recognizing the Committee That Planned the Meeting About the Event We Already Celebrated.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are waiting for fireworks and barbecue.

Speaking of fireworks...

We've got a full plate of crow to serve today.

And Democrats are once again seated at the head table.

Last week Barack Obama officially opened his presidential library.

Now, Democrats treated this thing like archaeologists had discovered King Tut's tomb.

The media acted as though civilization itself had reached a new milestone.

I watched the coverage and thought, "Did I miss something?"

Because from where I sit, this felt less like the unveiling of a monument and more like the grand opening of a very expensive explanation.

Think about it.

The Obama presidency generated so much mythology that eventually they needed a building to store it all.

And the event itself had all the cultural impact of finding out what happened to Jesse Jackson.

In fact, quick question:

Where were you when Jesse Jackson's political relevance was buried?

Exactly.

Neither do I.

The media keeps trying to manufacture nostalgia for things the public already moved on from.

It's like watching somebody hold a high school reunion for a graduating class that never actually liked each other.

We'll get into that story because there were moments at that event that were so awkward they deserve their own documentary.

Then there's Jeff Bezos.

And ladies and gentlemen, we may have witnessed something rare.

A billionaire experiencing reality.

Bezos apparently decided to say something that employees at the Washington Post did not want to hear:
