The many flags to be raised at full staff in DJT's honor on 1.20.25

I hope photographers will be ready to record the U.S. flags that will be disrespectfully and spitefully raised at full staff at DJT's inauguration during Carter’s memorial period...

...to include the Nazi, White Power and Confederate flags and symbols that many of DJT's admirers will certainly wave around him. After all, when they fought their way into the Capitol on 1.6.21, they carried those in DJT's honor.

1. Restrict viewing to a spot with good perspective.



Or just "photoshop" and post.




Gavin Newsom is taking some nuclear heat for an obvious blackmail.

The thing with blackmailers is that if you pay the ransom, they will be back again and again for more and more until you have nothing left to give.

Like piranhas.

One drop of blood is all it takes.

One "prick" is all it takes.

Newsom orders California to raise its flags for Trump's inauguration.




Several Republican governors across the U.S. are ordering state flags, which are currently being flown at half-staff following President Jimmy Carter’s death, to be raised to acknowledge President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

Twelve states, including California, Idaho, Indiana, South Carolina, Iowa, Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Nebraska, and Alabama, announced plans to raise flags to full-staff during Trump’s inauguration. In addition to the state buildings, the U.S. Capitol will have its flags at full-staff during the inauguration, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced on Tuesday.

“On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump,” Johnson said in a statement.

Well, a lot of California Democrats think he should. No place for cowardice and cowering to blackmailers.


No place for delicate eggs.

The "Apartheid Bros" (Musk, Thiel, and Sack) will have their hearts all a-flutter when this flag is raised over DC.
