    President Joe Biden's administration is receiving backlash online over its Pride Month display at the White House on Sunday as many Twitter users are saying it violates the U.S. Flag Code. Biden celebrated the LGBT community in a post Saturday, revealing a set of flags hanging from the White House that faced the South Lawn. The display includes a rainbow-colored Pride flag flanked by two American flags. Twitter users argue the display violates a section of the U.S. Flag Code that mandates the American flag be in the center of any display featuring multiple national flags or pennants.

    BILOXI, Miss. - Thousands of soldiers died charging behind the Confederate Battle flag during the bloodiest fighting in American history.Nearly 140 years after the Civil War, the Rebel flag flies at the center of a new war being waged on the Coast and throughout the South.Rhetoric about heritage and hatred has replaced bullets and grapeshot.

For many others, it represents slavery, racism and lynchings.Groups on both sides of the debate appear ready to fight relentlessly for their causes.Last year, pro-Rebel flag forces...
