Patriots, they've been lying to you about Presidents Day. The federal holiday we celebrate this February 16th isn't actually called "Presidents Day" at all - it's legally designated as "Washington's Birthday," but the Deep State establishment has spent decades systematically erasing our first president from his own commemoration.

According to federal law, the holiday honors George Washington alone, not every president who ever held office. Yet across America, schools, businesses, and even government offices routinely call it "Presidents Day," lumping our nation's founder in with failures like Jimmy Carter and the Biden regime.

This isn't an accident, folks. This is deliberate historical revisionism designed to diminish Washington's towering legacy and the Christian, constitutional principles he embodied. The same forces trying to tear down his statues and remove his name from schools have succeeded in erasing him from his own birthday celebration.

America 250: The Perfect Opportunity

With America's 250th anniversary approaching in 2026, there's never been a better time for Congress to clarify this travesty. We need legislation explicitly stating that Washington's Birthday honors George Washington - period. Not Thomas Jefferson, not Abraham Lincoln, and certainly not Barack Obama or Joe Biden.

Washington sacrificed everything to birth this nation. He voluntarily gave up power when he could have been king. He warned against foreign entanglements and the dangers of political factions that threaten our republic today. The least we can do is ensure his birthday actually honors HIM.

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation." - George Washington

While woke historians try to "contextualize" Washington with slavery narratives, they ignore his evolution on the issue and his unprecedented decision to free his slaves in his will - something almost no other founder did.

President Trump and the America First movement understand that honoring our founders isn't about perfection - it's about recognizing the extraordinary men who risked everything to create the greatest nation in human history.

It's time to take Washington's Birthday back from the revisionist left. Our children deserve to know they're celebrating the Father of Our Country, not some generic collection of politicians. Will your representatives stand up for Washington's legacy?

FINALLY someone is talking about this! We went from honoring the Father of our Nation to some generic 'Presidents Day' that lumps Washington in with every other president. George Washington deserves his own day - period.

Exactly! Washington literally created the precedent for peaceful transfer of power. No other president comes close to his significance.

It's part of the systematic erasure of our founding principles. They want us to forget what made America great.

Our local VFW still calls it Washington's Birthday on their sign. Some of us haven't forgotten what this day is really about.

As an educator, I can tell you this watered-down approach to history is everywhere. Instead of celebrating Washington's incredible sacrifice and leadership, we get generic lessons about 'all presidents.' It's educational malpractice.

This is exactly why we pulled our kids out of public school. At least at home they learn REAL American history.

I remember when it was Washington's Birthday and Lincoln's Birthday as separate holidays. My kids have no idea who George Washington really was beyond some vague 'first president' knowledge.

This is why our kids don't respect American history anymore!

When did this change happen exactly? I want to research how this got pushed through.

Washington could have been king but chose to step down. That single act changed the course of human history. He deserves better than being lumped in with politicians who don't hold a candle to him.

Absolutely right! The deep state has been chipping away at our founding heritage for decades.
