The Rev-ron Jack-sun is the one caught on a hot mike saying he wanted to castrate President Obama.

Illinois is half-mast for JJ from 2-20-26 thru 3-7-26.

Why is it a black race baiter or hustler can expected to be honored by a government but a white race baiter or hustler is castigated?

That is a tremendous double standard that is causing so much division in this country. It must be stopped for all or allowed for all!!

Mine either. My flag will remain at full staff.

The grifter will have to get his adoration from the grifted.

Yet we have RINO’s here that demanded we NOT lower the flag for Dick Cheney based on his own emotional outburst instead of President Eisenhower’s Proclamation 3044 of Mar. 1, 1954. (He also opposes most common sense conservative ideals on the Convention of States, and opposes Mark Levin.) When I called based on Eisenhower Rules, he cared for himself instead.

1. The flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions for the period indicated upon the death of any of the following-designated officials or former officials of the United States:
(a) The President or a former President: for thirty days from the day of death. The flag shall also be flown at half-staff for such period at all United States embassies, legations, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
(b) The Vice President, the Chief Justice or a retired Chief Justice of the United States, or the Speaker of the House of Representatives: for ten days from the day of death.
(c) An Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, a member of the Cabinet, a former Vice President, the President pro tempore of the Senate, the Majority Leader of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, or the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives: from the day of death until interment.
