They hate the police with a passion. They don’t care if homicides are surging in Democrat cities across the country.

President Biden announced on May 10th that flags would fly at half-staff to honor fallen police officers.

Then, after complaints by radical cop-hating Democrats, Biden reversed the declaration and announced flags would fly at full-staff instead.

How disgraceful to do this. This is unprecedented. I'm betting Kamala Harris is behind this, or Obama.

I’m betting the “lets get the black vote back” is behind this. I believe a lot more blacks and hispanics voted for Trump in 2020 than we have been told.

“to Honor Fallen Police Officers”

Joe Biden, can you name a fallen police officer who does not deserve to be so honored?

That's probably where the Gateway Putos stole it from.

Jill Biden and others might want to read the Wikipedia article on Edith Wilson.

“Markel has opined that Edith Wilson was, essentially, the nation’s chief executive until her husband’s second term concluded in March of 1921’. While a widow of moderate education for her time, she nevertheless attempted to protect her husband and his legacy, if not the presidency, even if it meant exceeding her role as First Lady.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Wilson

“Through her father, she was also a direct descendant of Mataoka, better known as Pocahontas, the daughter of Wahunsenacawh, the paramount weroance of the Powhatan Confederacy. On April 5, 1614, Mataoka (then renamed as “Rebecca” following her conversion to Christianity the previous year) married John Rolfe, the first English settler in Virginia to cultivate tobacco as an export commodity. Their granddaughter, Jane Rolfe, married Robert Bolling, a wealthy slave-owning planter and merchant.”

“Edith was the seventh of eleven children, two of whom died in infancy. The Bollings were some of the oldest members of Virginia’s slave-owning, planter elite prior to the American Civil War. After the war ended and slavery abolished, Edith’s father turned to the practice of law to support his family. Unable to pay taxes on his extensive properties, and forced to give up the family’s plantation seat, William Holcombe Bolling moved to Wytheville, where most of his children were born.”

“Grandmother Bolling was confined to bed. Edith had the responsibility to wash her clothing, turn her in bed at night, and look after her 26 canaries. In turn, Grandmother Bolling oversaw Edith’s education, teaching her how to read, write, speak a hybrid language of French and English, make dresses, and instilled in her a tendency to make quick judgments and hold strong opinions, personality traits Edith would exhibit her entire life.”

“As First Lady during World War I, Edith Bolling Wilson observed gasless Sundays, meatless Mondays, and wheatless Wednesdays to set an example for the federal rationing effort.”

“Woodrow Wilson....suffered a stroke in October 1919 which left him bedridden and partially paralyzed.”

“Edith Wilson and others in the President’s inner circle hid the true extent of the President’s illness and disability from the American public.”

The old goat is much worse than obammy. Since he doesn’t know what he’s doing, a bunch of democrats make his decisions for him and implement them. He goes on camera and reads the words they have written down for him to say.

All the anti-USA wishes of the most radical democrats are being fulfilled. After they have had their way with their puppet, he will be discarded and they will put Delilah in the White House.

It appears that originally saying that the flag would be flown at half staff was a mistake because of a quirk in US Flag code.

“The flag shall be flown at half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless that day is also Armed Forces Day.”

May 15th was both Peace Officers Memorial Day and Armed Forces Day.

I have no doubts about the Democrats distance for police but this appears to be a staffers error and the law as written is being followed.

That is armed forces day. However the whole week is set aside to honor the police. So, they can lower the flag on a different day.

Today, again, I was riding through my VBS (Very Blue State) and saw flags at half mast, and had to wonder again what it was for.

I despise this constant lowering of the flag. If we didn’t lower it for the Marines when they lost a thousand men in a matter of days, we damn well shouldn’t lower it for the tings we do now.

Lowering the flag constantly gives us the appearance of being in a perpetual state of despair and weakness. I hate it.

I don’t know why we have cops anymore.

I would have walked off last year.

Like Republicans in general we and they have no idea how powerful we actually are.

The progs don’t hate police..they hate local police accountable to the citizens. The Progs all want a National Police Force that tramples the rights of American citizens, an American STASI (I didn’t say Gestapo, because I think the Communists were far worse than the Nazis, and the Nazis were very bad).

I dont vote for co-presidents like Hilarity or Meechelle. They are unconstitutional. But those two.... sheesh
