  • Letter To The Editor: There’s Nothing ‘Cool’ About The Chinese Communist Flag

    The Press-Enterprise ^ | June 10, 2025 | Rick Reiss
    How disturbing to read your published “cool fact” (p. A2, June 8) about China’s Communist flag. To use the adjective “cool” along with the flag of an Orwellian communist government is just … twisted. Does Communism naturally bring about a “cool” word association within the Southern California News Group? Newsflash: There is nothing “cool” about communism whatsoever. It is a totalitarian ideology; a blight upon humanity. It belongs on the ash heap with Nazism and fascism. 1990s era French sociologists credibly calculated that communism caused 100 million deaths, including some 65 million in Communist China alone. Yet SCNG publishes this...

    Liberals seethe over Trump's 'tacky,' 'monstrous changes.' President Donald Trump installed two big, beautiful flagpoles on the White House grounds on Wednesday, and leftists are losing their minds. Trump announced the installation on Tuesday, saying the flagpoles were "always missing from this magnificent place." After the 100-foot flagpoles were put in place, the left-wing media ripped the administration for the changes to the White House grounds. The Daily Beast reported on the new flagpoles, calling them one of the latest "monstrous changes" Trump has made to the White House. The "monstrous changes" in question also include renovations to the Rose...

    Salt Lake City, Utah, often referred to as the "Mormon capital of the world," has added transgender and progress pride flags to its new slate of city flags. The city formally adopted three new city flags on Tuesday in an attempt to skirt a state law prohibiting the flying of LGBT pride flags and other non-official banners at its City Hall. In addition to its traditional Sego Lily Flag, Salt Lake City adopted three new flags to celebrate what officials called “human rights”: the “Sego Celebration Flag,” marking Juneteenth; the Sego Belonging Flag,” representing the city’s LGBT-identified residents; and the...

    Leaders of Utah's capital city voted to add three new city flags, all incorporating designs not allowed through a new state flag law, to sidestep the measure hours before it goes into law. Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall unveiled three new city flag designs to members of the Salt Lake City Council Tuesday evening, as she explained how the city plans to move forward in the wake of HB77 on the eve of the bill becoming law. The new flags would add the sego lily logo from Salt Lake City's city flag to the Juneteenth, Progress Pride and transgender...

    President Trump unveiled his latest plans to shake up the White House grounds on Wednesday — announcing he will pay for two large flagpoles. The president came out of the residence in the morning to survey the grounds on the north side and was spotted with groundskeepers, who were spreading their arms, showing just how large the flags were going to be. “We’re putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall American flag on this side and another one on the other side, two flags, top of the line,” he later told reporters outside the White House. There are currently no freestanding...

    Idaho’s chief lawyer has asked the city of Boise to comply with a new law that limits what flags may be flown by government buildings and warned that the state may try to withhold sales tax revenues if the city refuses. Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador wrote a letter to Boise Mayor Lauren McLean on Tuesday requesting that she take down the prohibited flags outside city hall — as of Wednesday morning, the city displayed a Pride flag and a flag honoring organ and tissue donors, along with an American flag, city of Boise flag, state of Idaho flag and...

    Woke officials in Maryland called the police when a Baltimore County high school student asked why there were no American flags on display in classrooms. Parker Jensen, a senior at Towson High School and an aspiring U.S. Marine, was suspended for seven days over the “incident.” Jensen and his family have now filed a lawsuit over the punishment, citing what he believes to be a violation of state education policy and his constitutional rights. The teen came under fire after he visited the Baltimore County Board of Education to inquire about the lack of patriotic flags in school classrooms. However,...

    Utah became the first state in the nation to restrict all but a few approved flags from being flown on government buildings and to prohibit fluoride from being added to public water systems. Gov. Spencer Cox allowed the flag bill to take effect without his signature as the deadline approached Thursday evening, while he signed the fluoride bill into law.

    A Washington state mayor scolded an LQBTQ+ activist who was outraged that the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flag was allowed to fly over City Hall but the Pride flag was not. Newcastle Mayor Robert Clark was berated by activists at a public hearing Tuesday night as citizens of the city — about 12 miles from Seattle — were upset over the council’s decision last year to stop the Pride flag from being flown at City Hall during Pride Month. Toward the end of the three-hour session, an activist stood in front of the council and called Clark “disgusting” and...

    Washington Free Beacon. ^ | January 21, 2025 | Adam Kredo
    Under Biden, government buildings flew pride and BLM flags alongside Old Glory.. The Trump State Department implemented a landmark "One Flag Policy" policy on Monday, barring U.S. outposts at home and abroad from flying any other flag but the Stars and Stripes. The newly issued order, a copy of which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, effectively bans American facilities from displaying flags affiliated with left-wing movements, including the pride and Black Lives Matter flags that flew over U.S. government buildings under Biden. "Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed...

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will raise American flags at the California Capitol on Monday for a limited time during President-elect Trump’s inauguration, according to his office. The decision aligns him with many of his Republican counterparts in other states, Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon confirmed to The Associated Press. Flags have been at half-staff across the U.S. to commemorate the Dec. 29 death of former President Carter. The Republican governors who have made similar flag-raising declarations for Inauguration Day are Alabama’s Kay Ivey, Florida’s Ron DeSantis, Idaho’s Brad Little, Iowa’s Kim Reynolds, Nebraska’s Jim Pillen, North Dakota’s Kelly Armstrong, Tennessee’s...

While supporters framed the legislation as a way to remove LGBTQ+ pride flags from classrooms, the law’s broad language extends to all ideological pride flags, including ones cherished by Trump supporters, patriot movements, and Christian nationalists.
  • American Flags to Fly at Half-Mast During Trump’s Inauguration as Overjoyed Leftists Gloat

    President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration may get overshadowed thanks to a long-standing tradition following a current or former president’s death, and left-wing Americans are overjoyed. As The Gateway Pundit reported, former President Jimmy Carter passed away in his Georgia home on Sunday at 100 years old. He had been in hospice care for approximately a year and was surrounded by family when he passed. Because of this, the flags at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels will be flying at half-mast for 30 days according to the flag code. A U.S. flag flying at half-staff shows a nation in...
