WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of his administration's expanding efforts to celebrate Pride Month, President Joe Biden has announced the Iwo Jima memorial will be updated to feature the Pride flag.
"This flag is now the most revered symbol in our nation," Biden said during his announcement. "It's only right for the Iwo Jima memorial to be updated to represent the brave men and women and non-men and non-women and those other things who are fighting even more bravely than the soldiers of World War II. These fellas with breasts who were on my lawn — they're the true warriors. Chocolate chip braggleflurven!"
The Iwo Jima memorial, which since 1954 has commemorated all fallen United States Marines and is well-known for its iconic depiction of six Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi, will also be renovated to show the six members of the disco group the Village People raising a rainbow flag atop a glittering, pink pedestal. "It's SUCH an upgrade!" said Katniss Sparkleshine, the artist commissioned by Biden to overhaul the statue. "Out with that old, ugly statue of white colonizers and in with an explosion of fabulous LGBTQ+ flair! Take that, conservatives! Why are you so obsessed with us, you Nazis?!"
Critics of the change being made to the statue immediately gathered in protest but were quickly subdued, arrested, and charged with hate crimes.
At publishing time, updates to the memorial had been scheduled to be completed before the end of the month, with recording artist Lizzo tapped to host the rededication ceremony.
don’t give the twits any ideas.
I’m old, so I still mail things. My protest is to put the flag stamps upside down on my envelopes. I know it does nothing, but at least I feel like it’s giving the government the middle finger.
By the way, why do people decide to take pride in what psychiatry considered mental disorders until 1973 when activists forced the profession (?) to remove homosexuality from the DSM Manual? But that is the subject of one of my long essays.

Notice that in the picture introducing the office, the rainbow flag (LGBTQ) appears to be replacing or flying with the American flag.

Here in Redmond Oregon, we are definitely behind the curve. At 6:00 AM today my Randi and I helped put out 1,700 flags along the one-way streets. I posted to Free Republic Flag Day: Rick Monday Greatest Play in Baseball.

Shew! That was close. Thought for sure it wasn’t the BB
Weird site. They’ve got an awesome array of funny t-shirts. Lots of ones for women welders.
It may be the Bee’s satire but you can be sure he’s thinking about doing it one of many to ensue.
This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. My father along with millions of other fathers who served in WWII ARE PUKING THEIR GUTS OUT in their graves.
They could have photoshopped Jamie Farr in drag as one of the soldiers.
I’m surprised they’re still allowed to show the MASH episodes of Klinger in full bloom.
Difference is, Klinger was doing it to get out of the Army.
Bid still has 16 days to turn this piece of satire in the reality.
Monument now with Ukrainian Soldiers...
