In yet another logical, sensible, and commonsensical move, the Trump administration has ordered all embassies and State Dept. properties to fly ONLY the U.S. flag and NOT BLM flags, gay banners, or other leftist rags.
So, smart!
Per the Washington Free Beacon:
“Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content,” the order states. “The flag of the United States of America united all Americans under the universal principles of justice, liberty, and democracy. These values, which are the bedrock of our great country, are shared by all American citizens, past and present.”
Any State Department employee who violates the new policy will “face disciplinary action, including termination of employment or contract, or reassignment to their home agency.” The only other flags that will be permitted to fly are the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) emblem and the Wrongful Detainees Flag.
“The U.S. flag is a powerful symbol of pride and it is fitting and respectful that only the U.S. flag be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestically and abroad,” according to the policy memorandum.
Exactly right.
If nutjob leftists want to venerate pedo flags, flags for sexual perverts, and racist flags, let them. But that is not for the federal government to do.
Trump continues to impress and amaze.
Not tired of winning. Are you?
