Figures “hitler junior” would do something like this to disrespect a former (P)residential can’t-idate. Following the law, rules and regulations. How dare he. Do I need it? Okay. /S

The lefties burn the Flag and now want to complain that Old Glory is flying at Full Staff

Odd that al of the sudden the flag is revered and honored by the Left. They must not be aware of the new police strategy when pursuing potential criminals who run instead of complying with orders to stop, they will substitute playing the national anthem instead of the siren so the perps will kneel.

I will always feel that during the campaign with Sarah early on there was much momentum, when he realized that Mccain kept his foot on the brake as long and as often as he could to slow it down, I really believe that. Just like when mitt shredded Obama in the first debate, after that....foot on the brake the rest of the way.

U.S. Flag Code states that flags be lowered “on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress.”

I have a flag status app on my phone, which gives daily updates. This morning's message was "Confusion reigns across the states... because there has been no Presidential proclamation..." Time to drag that app to the garbage can.

Thanks for posting this. I wasn’t aware of what the practice should be according to the code. The grief-stricken American people are going berserk about this on a FB live post from WGN in Chicago. I was able to educate them on the practice and, I hope, perhaps ease their pain a bit.

"The White House didn’t immediately respond to questions Monday."

Doesn't take much to trigger these people anymore.

The last thing a flag status app ought to do is throw left-wing propaganda at you, indeed.

Here are a couple sites. From the second one, Congress does not have the authority to fly the capital flag at half mast.

Dana is the snake you place around your neck, thinking it is harmless. Dana worked for the Bushes all her life, and Bushes did not even vote for Trump against Hillary. Nuff said.

I even saw that none other than Stevie Wonder did a “tribute” to McCain at a concert over the weekend.

He was a senator. Just a senator. Public servant. Not royalty. All this crap just shows what is wrong with them and their arrogance keeps them from seeing how disconnected they are.
Good people die everyday. Why should we turn ourselves upside down because a senator from Arizona died?
