Our great American Flag is the most sacred and cherished symbol of the United States of America, and of American freedom, identity, and strength. Over nearly two-and-a-half centuries, many thousands of American patriots have fought, bled, and died to keep the Stars and Stripes waving proudly. The American Flag is a special symbol in our national life that should unite and represent all Americans of every background and walk of life. Desecrating it is uniquely offensive and provocative. It is a statement of contempt, hostility, and violence against our Nation — the clearest possible expression of opposition to the political union that preserves our rights, liberty, and security. Burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot. American Flag burning is also used by groups of foreign nationals as a calculated act to intimidate and threaten violence against Americans because of their nationality and place of birth.
Notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s rulings on First Amendment protections, the Court has never held that American Flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or that is an action amounting to “fighting words” is constitutionally protected. See Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397, 408-10 (1989).
My Administration will act to restore respect and sanctity to the American Flag and prosecute those who incite violence or otherwise violate our laws while desecrating this symbol of our country, to the fullest extent permissible under any available authority.

The Order directs the Attorney General to vigorously prosecute those who violate our laws in ways that involve desecrating the flag, and to pursue litigation to clarify the scope of First Amendment in this area.
It also instructs the Attorney General to refer flag desecration cases that violate state or local laws to appropriate state or local authorities.
Finally, the order directs the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security and the Attorney General to deny, prohibit, terminate, or revoke visas, residence permits, or naturalization proceedings, and other immigration benefits, or seek removal from the United States, wherever there has been an appropriate determination that flag desecration by foreign nationals permits the exercise of those remedies under applicable law.17 -

So how are we supposed to properly dispose of the flag now?
Also, anyone who leaves their flag up in the rain or overnight in the dark needs to be prosecuted. NOW 😡

Hey Trumpers, how about a straw poll?

A. Yes
B. No.
C. Doesn’t matter what he does. My worship is unwavering and when the time comes I will justify whatever he does.

"The Trump administration’s trade policies do more than increase costs for US consumers. Their historic scale and disorganized rollout are causing global disruptions. That hurts independent music gear makers and label owners. It’s also ironically likely to cripple manufacturers trying to work in the USA. The only (sort of) good news: shippers and exporters are trying to find solutions, and at least some of the disruptions should be temporary. But those solutions won’t come free."
Trump started to increase prices on Day One !!

Reporter: You called Kamala Harris a communist, yet the Biden-Harris administration never proposed nationalizing a private company like you are with Intel. Is this the new way of industrial policy?
Trump: Yes. Sure it is. I wanna try to get as much as I can…I hope I’m gonna have many more cases like Intel31 -

A double secret pardon was already awarded. She gets free room and board at a mental hospital protected 24x7x365 by ICE cosplayers. Some will answer the call to protect her in her room at night until she is satisfied. Only 18 year old ICE cosplayer area allowed do sleep overs.

Worse than an authoritarian. He is using tariffs to get personal stock deals from companies. It is HIS money.

I read that the county DA let the guy go.
The judge wasnt involved at all.
I dont believe pedos should be allowed to flee. No.
But blaming Trump for something he had nothing to do with is just silly.

Suddenly Trump is super concerned about how S.Korea treats Churches.
Any idea why he never said anything about how Putin and N.Korea treats Churches religions that don’t have govt approval?
