I try to be knowledgeable. This is a holiday, for lack of a better word, that I am ignorant of.

Does anyone care to explain?

Eid Mubarak

From Wikipedia:

Eid Mubarak or (Arabic: عيد مبارك‎) is an Arabic term that means “Blessed Feast”. The term is used by Arab Muslims, as well as Muslims all over the world. Internationally Muslims use it as a greeting for use on the festivals of Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr. Eid means "Feast", and Mubarak (derived from the Semitic root B-R-K) means "Blessed". In the social sense, people usually celebrate Eid al-Fitr after Ramadan and Eid-al-Adha in the month of Dhul Hijjah (the 12th and final Islamic month). Some state that this exchange of greetings is a cultural tradition and not part of any religious obligation.[1][2] In 2019, Eid al-Fitr falls on June 4–5 and Eid al-Adha on August 11.

No politician who supports gun control should recieve armed protection paid for by those he is trying to disarm.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-scotch in one hand-Chocolate in the other-body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!"
