All this unnecessary endeavors to delete two white men on the current state flag which has existed for over 100 years.

I’m waiting for them to decide we need a new US flag.

Minnesota has already done it. Irony is that states don't get much whiter than Minnesota.

Isn’t the Pine Tree flag a hate symbol or a symbol of INSURRECTION? I’m pretty sure that’s we’ve been told.

How about a Somali smoking a joint on a white flag?

It’s called “internalized racism”, which is considered a sign of mental sickness and being oppressed unless whites are the ones hating themselves.

A extra-large big blue star with rounded points and a smaller Charlie Brown tree in the center. Fits their limp attitude (tree) with an over large ego (star) to fit their eco activism.

What the hell is the problem with the the old flag? Look what the morons in Minnesota did to theirs. They’re officially an African colony now with that old rag.

Bellows brushed aside a reporter's question about the flags' similarities at a news conference. “This is a debate delightfully free of partisan politics, and one that every Maine voter can weigh in on at the ballot box this fall,” she said in a statement.

I remember that name around here. Same gal who decreed that there should be no Trump on the Maine ballot.

Follow the license plate story and the weird thing is that it also comes in a design-free option. Not even so much as a lone pine. Why? 🤔

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine’s chickadee and pine cone license plates are poised to fly away, replaced by a retro design inspired by the original state flag which has seen a surge in popularity in recent years.

The proposed plate borrows from Maine’s first flag, with a blue north star and stylized green pine tree against a cream-colored background.

“After 24 years, it’s time for a new design,” said Rep. Lynne Williams, D-Bar Harbor, who sponsored the proposal.

The Legislature’s Transportation Committee voted unanimously Thursday in favor of the new plates while ordering up tweaks to their appearance. Motorists will be able to pick between the standard pine-and-star plate, or a plain version with no artwork. They’ll go into circulation in 2025 and 2026.

Very little change needed.

As I observe it, the current Maine flag has a moose in the center.

They need only add a...

...flying squirrel to complete the picture.

Why is the British flag in the Hawaiian flag?

Unlike any other U.S. state flag, it uniquely incorporates the national flag of a foreign country. King Kamehameha I designed this flag, blending elements from Britain, America, and Hawaiʻi. In the top left corner, the Union Jack pays homage to the historical ties between the Royal Navy and the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Eight horizontal stripes on the flag symbolize the eight major Hawaiian Islands, while the colors echo both the Union Jack and the U.S. national flag.

Leave the flag alone.

Aren’t there more important things for politicians to worry about?

That sort of thing may sound like a good idea, until they actually do it.

The new flags are usually meaningless. They don’t relate to anything specific to the state.

Foreign countries have their traditional national colors that can be put together in a simple geometrical pattern, but flags like that won’t have any meaning if every state adopts one.

It’s a trap. Look what they did to the Minnesota flag.

Minnesota recently went through this redesign the flag foolishness. The new flag looks like it was designed by kindergarten kids or a cubist minimalist. It also has many similarities with the Somali and Palestinian flags. You would think that removing Aunt Jamima from syrup bottles and the Indian maiden from butter boxes would have solved our racial issues
