@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.

Members of a regional women’s country line dance team were reportedly kicked out of a Seattle dance convention after organizers claimed their American flag-themed shirts made some attendees feel "triggered and unsafe." Over the weekend at the Emerald City Hoedown in Seattle, the Borderline Dance team was set to perform, but were essentially told they weren't welcome by organizer Rain Country Dance Association, an LGBTQ+ dance community, over their matching American flag themed shirts, Jason Rantz reported for 770 KTTH. "Unfortunately, what our team was met with upon arrival was that our flag tops were offensive to some of the...

Fire Department brass ordered an East Village ladder company to remove its “red line” American flag honoring the squad’s six brothers killed on 9/11 – after a neighborhood resident complained it was “fascist” and a local lefty pol questioned whether it was a “politically charged symbol.”The shocking order came March 22 after a man claiming he was a staffer for Democratic Manhattan Councilwoman Carlina Rivera confronted firefighters at Ladder Co. 11, sources said.The man pedaled up to the East 2nd Street firehouse on a bicycle and told firefighters he worked for Rivera and that the councilwoman’s office “complained” to the...

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...

A high school in southeastern Indiana came under fire on Thursday after forcing a student to remove an American flag from his vehicle. The student’s mother relayed the events in a social media post. Cameron Blasek, a senior at East Central High School in St. Leon, was called into the principal’s office on Thursday and was told to remove the flag or be written up for insubordination. The post says that after being told to take the flag off his truck, he pulled out the school’s handbook and “pointed out that nowhere in the handbook does it mention the word...

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...

Does anyone know of a free (Or can someone make one) of the Alamo Flag in gif format so it looks as if its fluttering in the wind? Something people can post on the web pages in support of Texas and flood the net?

A new bill filed in Florida would require local governments and schools to remain neutral when it comes to displaying flags. The proposed legislation, HB 901, was filed by state Rep. David Borrero, R-Sweetwater, and would prohibit flying flags tied to political topics including sexuality, gender orientation or race. Compass LGBTQ Center CEO Julie Seaver is among those opposed to the legislation.

'Minnesota is home to the largest Somali population in the West... I'm sure this is just a coincidence.' A Minnesota commission tasked with redesigning the state’s flag faced significant backlash on Twitter due to allegations that the new design closely resembled flags from territories in Somalia, an East African country. The proposed design includes an eight-point North Star, along with a tricolor stripe (blue, white, and green) symbolizing elements reminiscent of the state’s geography, including mountains, water bodies, and the sky. In a separate tweet, End Wokeness added, “Minnesota just replaced its official state flag with a new flag that...

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Two months after the start of the Israel-Hamas war, hundreds gathered at Eaton Plaza in downtown Fresno on Friday afternoon to raise the Palestinian flag. Hundreds gathered to watch the flag raised at Unity Park as their national anthem played. "It represents the triumph of our collective efforts to amplify our voice and shed light on the plight of our brothers and sisters back home," said a local Palestinian-American. "Today we send a message to the world: the Palestinian people will not be silenced."

NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. (WHDH) - Dozens of people crowded into North Andover High School on Monday to voice their opinions during a lively Select Board meeting where a proposal to fly the Palestinian flag above Town Common was ultimately approved. The request to fly the flag on the Town Common flag pole was approved after about an hour of public comment, during which those gathered spoke both in favor of and against flying the flag amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.“It’s a big deal for us to see the Palestinian flag that many of us think represents the...

While gun controllers like Shannon Watts react to Wednesday’s shootings by pushing a red flag law for Maine, it should be noted that the state already has a yellow flag law. A yellow flag law allows police to petition to have an individual’s guns removed. On July 1, 2022, Maine Public Radio focused on the state’s yellow flag law, suggesting it “could be a model for gun control” and noting the law had been used 22 times to take away guns during the previous two years.

WASHINGTON, DC: Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib found herself at the center of controversy on Monday, October 9 after a January photo resurfaced showing her proudly posing alongside a Palestinian flag outside her office in the US Congress. The image had originally been shared in response to Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's efforts to ban the Palestinian national symbol in Israel. However, it gained renewed attention in the wake of recent attacks by Hamas in Israel. In her January post, Tlaib had emphasized her Palestinian heritage and railed against what she referred to as an apartheid system in Israel. "Palestinians...

The flag was "quickly taken care of" by a DPS Tactical Marine Unit, Olivarez said. It was emblazoned with "Robenz," according to images provided to Fox News Digital. U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, commented on the video of the flag being taken down. "Don’t mess with Texas," he wrote. Texas is seeing a large increase in migrants, many from Venezuela. Thousands of predominantly Venezuelan adult illegal immigrants moved into Texas and gathered under a nearby bridge in Eagle Pass last week. The flag, which resembles the Colombian flag, was planted on the small island near Eagle Pass, Texas which borders...

The historic Gadsden flag is at the heart of a controversy involving a twelve-year-old boy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The child was removed from the school due to a patch on his backpack featuring the flag.The school district defended the action and claimed that, despite its historical symbolism, it is now considered racist and connected to slavery.Not only is the flag a historical image originally unconnected to slavery, but the action (in my view) contravenes core free speech protections.The flag was designed by Christopher Gadsden of South Carolina in 1775 as a symbol of the defiance of colonists to British...

VIDEO Thanks to a CLUELESS school administrator in Colorado, Gadsden flags are about to experience a YUUUUUUUGE sales boom. If the Gadsden flag triggers liberals so much that they want to remove a 12 year old school kid from class for the thought crime of wearing it as a patch, it serves as a big incentive to display more Gadsden flags because folks now know that it really really IRKS the left. The funniest part of the encounter was the administrator obviously not even knowing the NAME of the Gadsden flag since she refers to it as the "Don't Tread...
