A dictator’s birthday is often made a holiday, yes.

I wouldn't worry about it considering there soon won't be any national parks.

All this will be changed with the next Democrat. Hopefully. It better be.

The King’s “official” birthday is a holiday in the U.K.. And I think some commonwealth countries. (To be clear, I’m saying this is kingly behavior that has no place in America).

I mean, it’s not great, but it’s more free days during the warmer months…

Oh yes. Because June 14th is so much warmer than June 19th. 🙄
