At the beginning of the month, the Pentagon confirmed that they will not allow rainbow pride flags to fly at military facilities in celebration of Pride Month. That fell in line with the Pentagon’s 2020 decision to permit only certain flags at Department of Defense installations.
Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told reporters the DOD chose not to make an exception to the existing flag policy after careful consideration.
Along with the American flag, the current policy implemented under the Trump administration authorizes flags representing states and U.S. territories, military services, prisoners of war and missing in action, national flags of U.S. allies and a handful of others.
But a video that surfaced on Telegram this morning shows that there are no U.S. flags either.
Video below:

Folks already alleged that the flag should be taken down during the night, but that’s not the case with the Pentagon as the flags can be displayed at night if they have lights pointed at them.
Is it proper to fly the U.S. flag at night?
The Flag Code states it is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flag staffs in the open. However, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness. The American Legion interprets “ proper illumination” as a light specifically placed to illuminate the flag (preferred) or having a light source sufficient to illuminate the flag so it is recognizable as such by the casual observer.
Why were the flags missing?

Now at 5 PM most military bases lower the flag for the night, but not the Pentagon because it has lights pointed at the flags and they stay up all night.
My cousin who lives in DC just told me that he was passing the department of agriculture and the department of printing and engraving and they are completely abandoned. And that Pennsylvania Avenue this afternoon was completely empty. Washington is abandoned. He lived there his entire life. Metro barely runs. Buses are empty. The city is empty. FACTS!
Why aren’t members of Congress or Senate saying anything?
On that point, after all the fences, barbed wire, troops... from before the "inauguration" for a few months, then fences came down, troops left, only to be reminded of who is the boss with 4 fully-armed military attack helocopters landing on the Capitol lawn about a week ago, aimed *towards* the capitol; engines running full bore... I would NOT look to ANY congresscritter to say anything (although Marg Greene or Cruz may do so at some point, we'll see).
White House goes dark every night at 11 PM Sharp, since 1/21.
"BidEn" has mostly not flown on any airplane with a callsign of "AF1". (there was a recent exception made for the G7)
The recent POTUS laying of the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier was... well, you gotta just see it. Not the usual protocol.
DJT left DC on 1/20 from Andrews, with a 21-gun salute on AF1. "BidEn" came to DC on a private jet, and was given a funeral-like 7-gun salute.
And so much more....
Yes, Richard Citizen Journalist has been informing many on Telegram of some of these things, as well as others, on Telegram.
May we live in interesting times!
Bttt
Yeah don’t fly out flag. That would be racist. Got the 4th of July coming up. Let’s see how the left can make us feel racist for celebrating it.
Everyone’s working from home with a new task. On the web hunting for those wascally white supwemacists.
Wondering if this (supposed) upcoming event has anything to do with it?
I don’t feel much like celebrating Independence Day this year after what happened in that election.
Do we live in a free country when our rightful President is in exile, and there is an unlawful administration in power? The Left wants to carry on as if nothing happened. Business as usual. Fourth of July.
It would be like someone stealing your house and then inviting you to a pool party in your own back yard - using your own barbecue and pool. Except all their friends are there instead of your friends. Would you go to a party at the house you just got kicked out of? No way.
I might show up - but not to party.
I’ll celebrate Independence Day after this all gets straightened out, and no sooner.
That helo event was very odd.
I hope someday we will find out what the hell that was about.
That’s because there is no more American military. They surrendered without firing a shot
I hope you get to celebrate it soon. I am over the election. I kept getting False hope with every large piece of fraud that comes out and then the judges won’t see it and the SCOTUS kicked the can. The dems stalled by using the media and social media until this thing was illegally certified and now all the sudden some politicians are acting like they want to do something. This should have been handled by the states before Jan 6.
Not even the Chinese Communist Flag?
Someone must have slipped up.
It’s not quite that bad, but Federal workers have gotten used to working from home during the pandemic. Even some of the courts have been holding virtual hearings. Now that the rest of the economy has reopened, I wonder how long it will be before the government workers return, or if they ever will, completely.
There is only ONE shocking aspect to your video link to me.
That the number of views is only 3000+, as opposed to what it should be, 330,000,000.
Face it folks, civilian government has failed. We watched it happen in realtime over the last few months, and now in hindsight, could see the nascent signs to the beginning of DJT’s term in 2017. Clarence Thomas is quoted to have yelled something to the effect of: “... BUT, JOHN, THAT WOULD BE THE END OF DEMOCRACY!!!”. The failure is in many corners and many facets of society - political, media, pedowood, judicial, medical.
Color me a complete Optimist - this is a great time to be Alive. That’s why it’s called the “Great Awakening”. Everything we are seeing is needed to take down evil and STOP the “Great Reset”.
I agree with everything you said - except I’m not over the election.
I’m not expecting President Trump to be restored to office before 2024. In fact, I doubt he will want to go back to DC at all.
He did a very brave thing declaring war on the entire federal government and global oligarchy. Someone else may have to be the hero - Trump did his part and much, much more.
Perhaps if 2022 is enough of a MAGA blowout, it will be seen as mandate by the people and an affirmation that yes, the election was stolen - and yes, the Democrats and RINOs involved are not fit for office ever again - and yes, Trump was right about everything.
- then perhaps I’ll feel like celebrating Independence Day.
gimme a breeak
O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bomb bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
There will never be a MAGA blowout even if there is. They literally stole the Presidency from Donald Trump. The philosophy he espoused will NEVER be allowed to flourish. They will throw some bones. They will allow some tokens. But they KNOW exactly who is who and will never allow it again.
I have been saying “Happy Dependence Day” for over 10 years now.
Makes you wonder what legislation was being discussed that day....
