Then you're dead wrong too.  Read what Newsweek wrote, and tell me where 
they have it wrong.

> The first TDoV was celebrated in 2009 when Easter occurred on April 12. Since then, the two dates coincided only twice: in 2013 and in 2024.

> Biden did not invent TDoV, nor set the date to deliberately clash with Easter, which is on a different date every year.
