Flag Day

Today is Flag Day. Just so we're clear, the flag in question is not the gay pride flag or the BLM flag. Today marks the 245th anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States by the Second Continental Congress. Prior to that, the colonists flew many different flags representing their individual states. 

Every nation has a unifying flag as its symbol to bring their people together. Sadly, the woke left has turned our flag into another divisive issue in its culture war against America. The left never misses an opportunity to divide us. 

Several years ago, Americans watched in horror as communist sympathizer Colin Kaepernick knelt throughout the national anthem. Eventually, entire teams were disrespecting the flag, our national anthem, our veterans and our country. 

Today, Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, D.C., launched a little protest of her own. She took it upon herself to redesign the American flag so that it has 51 stars. The mayor ordered these altered flags to be flown along Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and Capitol Hill. 

Mayor Bowser is angling for a promotion. She’s leading the charge for the failed idea that Washington, D.C., should be a state, guaranteeing the election of two more far-left senators. But it seems to me that adding another star to the flag is defacing the flag.
