A University of North Carolina student who defended the US flag from anti-Israel protesters said he was willing to put his life on the line and said they would have had to take the flag “over my dead body.” Like many other US campuses, the quad of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was attacked by anti-Israel protesters who descended on a flag flying at half mast to commemorate four Charlotte officers who were killed in the line of duty. Stompel, who is a junior majoring in political science, recalled thinking, “I don’t understand how people can act...

A student who held up her own American flag at a North Carolina campus Tuesday, after an anti-Israel mob desecrated an American flag flying on campus, said she would die for Old Glory. Anti-Israel protesters targeted the American flag on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's quad — which had been flying at half-mast after four Charlotte officers were killed in the line of duty. At one point, they replaced it with a Palestinian flag – enraging students and inspiring members from the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity to take action. "I definitely was emotionally a little bit shaken,"...

Hamas students at UNC are so confident in their protective circle. Their bubble of delusion is quickly disturbed: https://twitter.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1786283415928549430 This is what happens next: https://twitter.com/i/status/1786283415928549430 Bob Lonsberry Via Twitter/X: Chancellor Lee Roberts personally took down the Palestinian flag and raised the U.S. flag at Chapel Hill. He is the son of journalists Cokie and Steven Roberts, and the grandson of House majority leader Hale Boggs. We need more like him . . . https://twitter.com/BobLonsberry/status/1785421898534339043

@elonmusk Proposed law: if someone tears down the American flag and puts up another flag in its place, that person should get a free (but mandatory) one-way trip to that flag’s country @elonmusk I’m not saying they can’t come back, but they have to experience that country for some period of time before returning

Several politicians praised students from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill for protecting the American flag from anti-Israel protesters. UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Lee H. Roberts was seen raising the American flag back to the top of the flag pole after pro-Palestinian protesters took it down and replaced it with the Palestinian flag. After Roberts left, pro-Palestinian protesters reportedly once again began attempting to remove the flag, leading a group of students to move in to hold the flag up off the ground and defend the flag from protesters.

The American flag was re-raised at City College of New York after anti-Israel protesters removed it and replaced it with a Palestinian flag at the Harlem Heights campus.

Earlier, we reported on the pathetic and disgraceful display being put on this week by pro-Hamas protesters on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). To quickly recap, demonstrators who were upset over early morning arrests at an attempted encampment took down the American flag at the main campus and replaced it with a Palestinian flag.Though the agitators were amused, the university's interim chancellor, Lee Roberts, was not. Roberts proceeded to walk to the flag pole himself, remove the Palestinian flag, and re-fly the U.S. flag, to the appreciation of the Jewish students nearby. In...

@RandPaul Ukrainian flags fly in the chamber of the UNITED STATES House of Representatives as they vote to send more of your hard-earned money to a corrupt foreign regime. And just like that they shout “UKRAINE! UKRAINE!” while happily working to secure Ukraine’s borders, not ours.

Will the school ban the truck? After a student in Indiana was ordered by his high school not to fly a US flag on his pickup truck, he responded by wrapping the entire vehicle in a US flag design. As reported by Fox 19, Cameron Blasek, a senior at East Central High School in St. Leon, Ind., was told by school administrators that the flag he was flying on his truck broke the rules and had to be taken down. Blasek challenged the ruling and got it overturned, because you can’t order Americans not to fly the national flag in...

Climate change alarmists are urging Big Tech to censor accounts of those who question the real danger that global warming poses to humanity. Social media companies such as X, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok “should flag accounts that spread falsehoods about climate change and collaborate on targeted educational campaigns,” states a study published last week in Scientific Reports. Without ever defining the term, the article states that climate change “denialism” persists in the United States, with estimates ranging from 12 to 26 percent of the U.S. population. The researchers separated the population into the binary categories of “believers” and “deniers,” with...

So, my Texas flag came in today. Of course I’m not from Texas (1,208 miles from the northern border). But I need some advice on how to properly display it with things the way there are. * American flag on top, Lone Star beneath. * Lone Stars on top, Stars and Stripes below * Lone Star by itself * Either, but hang Stars and Stripe upside down. * Ditch the American Flag; hang Texas flag on top with ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ flag below (yes, I own one of those too). I know the protocol, but I am open to...
