“Salisbury police said the flags were replaced but then vandalized again the next day.”

And the PATRIOTS that replaced them will continue to do so.

It’s What. We. Do. MAGA! :)

Somebody paid those kids to do all that roaming and gathering. That’s probably the most labor they’ve done in a long time. Especially to circle back and do it again the next day. Paid in marijuana, perhaps.

Looking at the headlines below that story makes me think of nearby DC.

What’s up with Charlotte?

One possible answer:

Article from The Ally Group Real Estate;
Why So Many Californians Are Moving To Charlotte, N.C.

May 22 2026
* Booming job market
* Relatively affordable cost of living
* Mild four season climate

Unfortunately, many Californians will move across the country and bring their political biases, expectations with them, vs trying to conform to what they find in N.C.
