Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall is furious with the Biden administration. Over the weekend, the White House draped a giant transgender pride flag over the balcony. It was adorned on either side by American flags. It was also a violation of the U.S. flag code – an egregious violation. Rule 7 clearly states the American flag should always be at the center and must be posted higher than other flags. “This is a disgrace,” Marshall tweeted. “Not only is it in breach of US Flag Code, but it’s a glaring example of this White House’s incompetence and insistence on putting their...

What authority does a state governor have to lower US flags?

Looks like dingy Harry just kicked the bucket and like Bob Dole, we will all have to see all the flags at half staff for a week. You ever think of how much time our flag is down for people corrupt people who spent their lives fleecing the American people to better themselves? I really wish people would say screw this half staff request. My flag is going to remain flying at the top with pride.

The 53-year-old Grammy-winning singer elicited mixed reactions over a Juneteenth op-ed she wrote for MarketWatch that quickly went viral. In the piece, Gray compared the U.S. flag to the Confederate flag, calling it "tattered, dated, divisive and incorrect." She doubled down on her assertion on Monday. "Why do we have to celebrate a flag that now represents divisiveness and hate?" she declared. Gray felt the need for change more than ever on Jan. 6, when she watched rioters storm the U.S. Capitol, many of...

U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., is demanding that Frontier Airlines officials explain why a gate agent banned an air marshal from wearing an American flag-themed mask on a flight. The agent at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta claimed other passengers would find his mask "offensive," according to Collins. "This infringement of a law enforcement officer's right to free speech was clearly a decision made by one of your gate agents based on their own politics," he wrote. "This is made even more clear by the fact that many passengers allowed to board the flight in this incident were permitted to...

Jose Gonzalez, a Guardian Angel who was on patrol on the boardwalk Saturday afternoon, said he saw two employees from the Parks Department wiping down a men’s bathroom with a flag mop.

I want to start out by saying every state flag everything that is put on the flag has meaning. The organic American flag is known as a flag of peace. I was reading on this page someone made a statement as to what does it matter has a few adornments I'm it does matter because at the end of the day. If the government decided to add a color to the original flag it absolutely changes the meaning of things. The original colors meant this Red:Hardiness and Valor White:Purity and Innocence Blue: Viligiance, Perserverance; Justice. The United States Flag -...

America's flag, the Stars and Stripes, Ole' Glory, has been witness to the battle with the British at Ft. McHenry, Iowa Jima, 9/11 and so much more. There is the reason we should stop and recognize the importance of this cloth that has been our standard throughout America's history.

A decision to affix an American flag graphic to the side of freshly painted Laguna Beach police cars is dividing residents who are alternately praising the image as patriotic or panning it as too aggressive. After hearing the criticism and acknowledging that the image they approved didn’t quite match the final results, officials agreed to reconsider their February decision to paint the Laguna Beach Police Department’s fleet of 11 squad cars. The City Council will take up the issue again at its Tuesday meeting. “People are screaming that the American flag on a police car is somehow or another …...

When will we stop lowering our flag? I drove into work this morning, and AGAIN the flags are lowered. I see DJT has ordered it again, this time for the victims of the bar shooting. (No, it is NOT for Armistice/Veteran's Day, which means again BTW it will be down at least on Sunday.) Not a week goes by our US flag is not prostrate anymore. WADR, I appreciate the grief over yet another mass murder, but this is NOT what lowering the flag is for. I am sick of seeing them lowered; it symbolizes we are constantly in mourning...

The flag was lowered to half-staff on the day of McCain’s death and the following day as established by the federal code.

Senate leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell urged the Pentagon to lower their flags until McCain is buried, according to a Schumer spokesman. Frequent Trump critics used the occasion to...

everal lawmakers are hoping to change the way the U.S. government buys American flags. Under current law, any American flag purchased by the government must be at least 50 percent made in the USA. Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown and Maine Senator Susan Collins introduced the All-American Flag Act to change that. “American tax dollars should go to American-made products that support American jobs, especially when the product is a symbol of our nation,” Brown said. “By purchasing all-American flags, we honor our country while also supporting American manufacturers.” The legislation would require flags purchased by the government to be 100...

More than two centuries ago, on June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress formally adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of our new Republic.
