I hate Presidents Day.
Don't get me wrong. I don't mind holidays. Getting an extra day off work is great. But I like my holidays to mean something. The root words, after all, behind "holiday" are "holy day." Granted, we live now in a largely secular culture, so the adjective "holy" may seem off-putting to some. But the important point is that our holidays should mean something. They should stand for something. They should call our attention as American citizens to something worthwhile - something worth remembering, celebrating, and/or honoring.
That is not really the case with "Presidents Day." Now, of course, this isn't the official name of the holiday. The United States government recognizes the third Monday of February by its legal name: George Washington's Birthday Observed. But legal technicalities are trumped by public discourse and popular consciousness. Most Americans know the holiday as "Presidents Day." And that is therefore effectively what they celebrate.
Informed readers of course are aware that "Presidents Day" evolved from two developments:
1) the Monday Holidays Act, which moved several holidays (including Washington's Birthday) to Monday to create 3-day weekends
2) the desire of many Americans to honor Abraham Lincoln
These factors are responsible for Washington's Birthday holiday now being known as "Presidents' Day." But the effect has gone beyond the intent. The effect is that Americans now hear "Presidents" and not the names of Washington or Lincoln. They hear and say "Presidents Day," not "Washington-Lincoln Day."
The effect of that is to essentially celebrate all our Presidents. Even if many graphic artists put Washington's face and Lincoln's face next to the words "Presidents Day," it merely serves to propagate the notion that Lincoln and Washington are kind of the "first and second among equals" rather than being the exclusive focus of the holiday.
Most Americans of course don't reflect on the meaning behind any of the holidays. They just enjoy the extra day off. And businesses enjoy making extra money through sales and promotions. So even having this discussion is somewhat academic.
Nevertheless, I can't let a "Presidents Day Weekend" go by without saying something about it. The very name "Presidents Day" showcases the vague and shallow identity that has befallen a holiday that was once quite intentional, meaningful, and worthwhile.
Rather than honor the man who made the United States possible, we now - in effect - celebrate the legacies of all our "presidents," including such notables as Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, and Warren G. Harding.
But remember... George Washington's legacy extends beyond his accomplishments as President of the United States. Washington was a hero of the French and Indian War, an influential leader in Colonial America, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolution, the president of the Constitutional Convention, and then the President of the United States. There's a reason most historians recognize him as "the indispensable man." Without Washington, it's hard to imagine the United States even getting off the ground.
You of course may celebrate "Presidents Day Weekend" as you wish, but as for me... I will remember and be grateful for the man who made the United States of America possible. And the man who made all the other Presidents possible.
It's ironic that George Washington must now share his holiday with the other 44 Presidents, but without Washington, none of the other 44 men ever would have been President in the first place.
Happy George Washington Birthday Weekend!
Blessings to all.

My husband was fighting cancer and it almost crucified us, I needed my credit cleaned so I can get a place to live with my family. I had repos, late payments, bankruptcy, eviction was filed and I needed someone to help me without screwing me up because it was my family I wanted the housing for. I decided to narrow my search to a trusted credit site, luckily for me; I found several good reviews on XAP a trusted credit repair specialist. I contacted XAP on; XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM and also texted (972) 597 9704 and after discussing the process, we got started. He raised my score, posted good tradelines on my report, and deleted the bankruptcy and the eviction from my profile. All late payments appeared as on time payment and he effected the changes across all 3 credit bureaus. XAP Credit Solution is the best amongst its kind.
My name is Ron Maxwell, I had credit scores of 320 (Transunion) 410 (Equifax) in March. I applied for a surgery loan in May and was not approved because of my low FICO scores. I contacted my loan officer and she told me that I need a score of 700-805 to get qualified (considered by FICO as Good) and I was desperately in need to get my score boost because I had to do the surgery at that time. I began to search the internet for a good credit specialist to help me fix my report, then I saw some wonderful recommendations of a good Credit Agency on the internet called BULL CREDIT REPAIR So I contacted them and they fixed my FICO scores to 8O0+ in less than seven working days across all 3 credit bureaus and I was approved within a week. I still have my scores at 790 because it is a permanent hack. I am so happy I found this Credit Agency and I will recommend them to anyone out there who is desperately in need of there services as well, Call +1(480) 932 5735, ,BULLCREDITREPAIR@GMAIL.COM

Check out these blank ATM cards today. My name is Steven Lugard from California. A successful business owner and father. I got one of these already programmed blank ATM cards that allows me withdraw a maximum of $5,000 daily for 30 days. I am so happy about these cards because I received mine last week and have already used it to get $20,000. Mr RICHARD COSMOS of fzregina59@gmail.com is giving out these cards to support people in any kind of financial problem. I must be sincere to you, when i first saw the advert, I believed it to be illegal and a hoax but when I contacted Mr RICHARD COSMOS, he confirmed to me that although it is illegal, nobody gets caught while using these cards because they have been programmed to disable every communication once inserted into any Automated Teller Machine(ATM). If interested contact him as soon as possible. **BEWARE OF SCAMMERS AND FAKE HACKERS IMPERSONATING US BUT THEY ARE NOT

hello guys, I got my score raised a few weeks back through the help of a hacker called Jamie. He also helped clear my debts. After a long time of having a poor credit score (445, 504, 488), and swimming in debt, I finally found someone who could help me fix my problems. He was sent to me by the universe I would say. I had tried some many ways to get my credit fixed most of them would either take too long or were just impossible for me to do. So, I found out about Jamie and creditrepairman network on numerous credit forums online so I decide to give him a try and I’m glad I did because it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. After discussing what it would take to get it done, he got to work and after 9 working days, he was done just as he had promised. My score was raised to what I requested for, my student loan, all debts cleared. It was amazing, I confirmed it myself. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a professional credit repair service. Creditrepairmannetwork@gmail.Com or text +1 413 397 2128

The aftermath of my encounter with KENSTAR CYBER SERVICES is one I’ll be ever be grateful for all through my lifetime. With 3 charge offs, 5 hard inquiries, tax lien, credit score of 583 and student loans it was difficult to secure a loan so I could buy a house for my family. Fortunately, my search for solution paid off having subscribed to the services of KENSTAR who I was recommended to by a friend who had used their services earlier. This credit expert eliminated my charges offs, hard inquiries, student loans, rental collection account and raised my score to 751 and with these results I was able to secure a loan with which I bought a house for my family. What a blessing! More interesting was that the repair process lasted for 9 days and results pooped up on my end. Having won my heart, I would recommend you also reach him via email/phone: 5057387188/KENSTARCYBERSERVICES@GMAIL.COM for credit repair services.

My Bitcoin Investment Experience.
No doubt Bitcoin has been the trend of today and it's doing a lot in the world of business because people prefer saving up money in their wallets rather than banks, I lost about $54,000 USD last summer due to the fall in the price of bitcoins. A colleague at work who knew my ordeal on bitcoin savings introduced me to a platform (cryptoforex345.com) where I can save and invest my bitcoins with more than 100% profit margin. At first I was skeptical about it so I decided to try it out with just a few dollars. I was amazed after 12 hours I earned more than 50% additional dollars and I was able to make an instant withdrawal and ever since I have been investing and making more money. Bitcoin investment with cryptoforex345.com has changed my life as I have made over $176,000 USD. You can sign up and earn at:

The truth is that there's no quick fix for your credit unless you have a good computer guru to help and lucky for me I met Dennis after a few wrong contacts that couldn't get the job done, Dennis was referred to me by my uncle when I was bitterly battling with my report and derogatoriness. My score went from low 460 to 810 with no negatives and debts.. I was so happy I had to come put him out here for who ever might be in need. Reach him on dennisdfixer at gmail com or nine one seven .. Seven two two .. Six nine one three.

Hello guys! I am Michael, I and my family were relocating to Texas due to my new job. I’ve been trying to purchase a home for over month, but I wasn’t approved for a loan, to be approved I needed a score of at least 700, but my score was at 598. I had many hard inquiries, some accounts in collection, late payments, unpaid debts and bankruptcy (this bankruptcy have been on my report for almost three years). A realtor told me about Metronet Credit Solution, who he told me had been helping his clients and I contacted them ASAP. They helped me wipe all the negative items on my credit and raised my score to 802 Vantage Score from the initial 598. I’ve been approved for a house loan. It’s been two weeks now and nothing is coming back, so I think the fix is permanent. I promised to recommend their services. If you’re in need of credit fix, Contact Metronet via: +1 (205) 518 3032 or write them at metronetcreditsolution@gmail.com. Please don’t forget to mention me.
