Flag Day is a patriotic spectacle in these
all-American communities
Posted By: Imright, 6/14/2022 7:09:19 AM
Flag Day is embraced each year in a handful of proudly red, white and blue all-American communities with the patriotic pomp normally reserved for July 4th, Independence Day.These cities and towns even vie for Flag Day bragging rights — often with conflicting claims — over who is offering America's first, biggest or best Flag Day parades and celebrations.The collection of fervent Flag Day communities stretches from sea to shining sea. It includes heartland towns such as Appleton, Wisconsin, and Three Oaks, Michigan, as well as Fairfield, Washington, on the Palouse of the Pacific Northwest, and historic Quincy, Massachusetts, which overlooks Boston Harbor on the Atlantic Ocean.

“Inflation is the bane of our existence,” President Biden lamented last week to talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. Unfortunately, he was referring to inflation’s effect on presidential approval ratings, not the plight of average Americans brutalized to pay for gas and groceries.
The president’s speech Tuesday to the AFL-CIO was another Team Biden pity party that hard facts were not permitted to interrupt.
CLAIM: Biden boasted that he “put America in a position to tackle the worldwide problem that’s worse everywhere but here: inflation.”
REALITY: Were Joe’s speechwriters using “Common Core” math that makes all bad numbers vanish? Inflation is 8.6% in America and
Hunter Biden's ex-wife has revealed the moment she discovered her husband was unfaithful and how she grew suspicious about his subsequent affair with his sister-in-law Hallie Biden, in her bombshell new memoir detailing the break down of their 24-year marriage.
Kathleen Buhle, who was married to the president's son from 1993 to 2017, shares new details about her husband's affairs and battles with addiction in her book, If We Break: A Memoir of Marriage, Addiction, and Healing, released Tuesday.
The 52-year-old mother describes realizing her 'life was forever changed' on July 4th weekend in 2014.
The New Mexico Supreme Court ordered county commissioners in Otero County to certify the election results of the June 7 primary after they refused to do so, having cited distrust of Dominion Voting Systems vote-tallying machines.
The court granted an emergency motion filed by New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver (D) to compel the Republican-led commission to certify the election results by Friday.
"The voters and candidates of Otero County can now be assured that their voices will be heard in full. Though it was sad to see the Commission give in to discredited conspiracy theories," Toulouse Oliver wrote after the decision.

Putin for Inflation after Bragging about
Spending Billions 3 replies
Someone needs to tell slow Joe that it doesn’t look good if he brags about spending billions upon billions of dollars and then shortly afterward blames Putin and the GOP for inflation.
That’s exactly what he did during a recent speech at the 29th AFL-CIO Quadrennial Constitutional Convention.
First, he bragged about all the billions he’s spent on infrastructure, labeling the spending on infrastructure “Infrastructure Decade” and saying:
The next step was the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. And now not only is it Infrastructure Week, we’ve arrived at Infrastructure Decade!
On Wednesday, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) reacted to President Joe Biden falsely claiming that inflation was “worse” all around the country than in the United States.
Johnson suggested on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria” that Biden was “delusional” and ripped him for “governing as a radical leftist” after claiming to be a moderate. The senator from Wisconsin said all of the current crises under Biden’s watch were a result of the president’s promise “to fundamentally transform America.”
“You know, he may be delusional. He’s obviously showing signs of age, and that’s sad.
President Joe Biden’s open-border polices have caused an open-border problem, allowing thousands of illegal aliens to cross over into the U.S. bringing drugs and sex-trafficking along with them.
Earlier this year on April 6, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX.) announced he would bus all illegal migrants 1,700 miles from his state to Washington D.C., so that the Biden administration would be forced to deal with the crisis.
“We are sending them to the United States capital where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” Abbott said.

Hallie after she tossed his gun in trash: report 9 replies
Hunter Biden flipped out on his sister-in-law-turned-lover, Hallie Biden, for ditching his handgun in a trash can in 2018, accusing her of making him look like an “abusive pedophile with homicidal tendencies” and asking her “do you want me dead,” according to a new report Wednesday.
During an hours-long text conversation on Oct. 23, 2018, the now-disgraced first son tore into his paramour for tossing the .38-caliber revolver in a garbage bin outside a grocery store in Wilmington, Del. — saying at one point: “I won’t ever recover from this,” the Washington Examiner reported.
“There are 5 guns in dads house.
NORFOLK, Va.— John Hinckley Jr., who shot and wounded President Ronald Reagan in 1981, was freed from court oversight Wednesday, officially concluding decades of supervision by legal and mental health professionals.
“After 41 years 2 months and 15 days, FREEDOM AT LAST!!!,” he wrote on Twitter shortly after 12 p.m.
The lifting of all restrictions had been expected since late September. U.S. District Court Judge Paul L. Friedman in Washington had said he would free Hinckley on June 15 if he continued to remain mentally stable in the community in Virginia where he has lived since 2016.
Hinckley, who was acquitted by reason of insanity, spent the decades before that in
Hillary Clinton seemed unaware of her outlandish hypocrisy as she lashed out at former President Donald Trump, accusing him of criminal conspiracy to overturn an election which many contend is exactly what she did.
“The latest January 6 hearings show that Trump knew he lost the election. His own people told him he’d lost the election. He then chose to wage a criminal conspiracy to overturn the results and prevent the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history,” Clinton cluelessly tweeted, trying to make political hay over the Jan. 6 inquisition and failing spectacularly.
The twice-failed Democratic presidential candidate who has pushed her own version
Are you paying $5 or more a gallon for gas when you fill up your car? One of the co-hosts of CBS Mornings on Wednesday wanted you to find the bright side, suggesting that such skyrocketing costs could be the “silver lining” that pushes us off oil. Talking to Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, the host generally seemed perplexed by the high costs.
Granholm offered her own version of the upside of staggering gasoline costs, reminding, “We want to move to clean energy, and that's why the President and the bipartisan infrastructure law that was signed invested significant amount of money to move in that direction.”
Joe Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has a message to Americans suffering because of high gas prices: Brazilians pay the same amount for gas.
Gas prices are soaring because of Joe Biden’s war on domestic energy production.
The current national average price for gas is well over $5 a gallon.
Joe Biden’s incompetent and corrupt Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm on Wednesday was confronted about the pain at the pump during an appearance on CNN.Instead of offering up common sense solutions such as drilling for more oil here at home, Secretary Granholm said Americans should stop complaining
Two American fighters have been taken as prisoners of war in Ukraine, the first since the conflict began.
Robert Drueke and Andy Huynh were taken prisoner by Russian forces last week on the outskirts of Kharkiv.
Drueke, 39, and Huynh, 27, are both from Alabama. It's unclear if they were friends before they both traveled voluntarily to Ukraine earlier this year to assist Ukrainian forces as they continue to defend their country against Russian forces.
One of the men's comrades described losing sight of the pair in a battle last week as they defended Kharkiv.

John Kerry, who is the U.S. special presidential envoy for climate, stated at a recent event at the University of Southern California that the country does not need to put more effort into drilling for oil and gas as energy costs continue to rise.
The most obvious sign of the increase in energy costs has been at gas stations, where the national average now stands at $5.01 per gallon, but utility bills are also expected to increase this summer. Republicans in Congress have called for more domestic production to increase the supply of oil in order to reduce the cost.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday.
Fauci tested positive on a rapid antigen test and was “experiencing mild symptoms,” the National Institutes of Health said in a statement.

Nearly 200,000 homes and businesses in England are at risk of being lost to rising sea levels by the 2050s, a new study has warned.
Researchers said the country could face around 14 inches (35cm) of sea level rise compared to historic levels within 30 years and is nearly certain to see close to 3ft (1m) of advancement by the end of the century.
It comes a week after the official in charge of Britain's flood protection said some of Britain's seaside towns and villages may have to be abandoned because of rising seas and coastal erosion.
The new study also cautioned that it may not be possible to protect some communities,
As the national media turns its attention to the partisan January 6 committee hearings amid rising energy costs, soaring inflation, and the risk of war overseas, it behooves us to bear in mind there are questions that the Democratic Party and the FBI refuse to answer about the Capitol Riots.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in scathing cross-examination of the FBI’s Executive Assistant Director Jill Sanborn on January 11th asked her about the Feds’ involvement in the Capitol building events. Her responses were downright chilling to watch: (Video)

Joe Biden is calling on seven of the top oil companies to do something to help quell surging gas prices after accusing them of intentionally exacerbating the strain on Americans' pocketbooks after the average price per gallon surpassed $5.00.
The president is sending letters Wednesday to Marathon Petroleum Corp., Valero Energy Corp., ExxonMobil, Phillips 66, Chevron, BP, and Shell to demand action on lowering gas prices at the corporate level and account for the surge.
In a letter to Exxon obtained by Axios, Biden wrote that the difference 'of more than 15% at the pump is the result of the historically high profit margins
The pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge is declaring it “open season” on pro-life groups and crisis pregnancy centers. The group has a history of damaging property during their protests, and they took credit for the vandalization of a pregnancy resource center in Des Moines, Iowa earlier this month. In a message posted to social media, the group said they broke windows and left graffiti political messages all over the clinic. “It was easy and fun,” the message read.

Congress has taken notice of the tampon shortage around the country, rooted in the supply chain crisis, and the high costs of fuel and raw materials. The shortage of feminine hygiene products surfaced as the Biden administration is still grappling with a nationwide shortage of baby formula. Rep. Yvette Clarke, New York Democrat and a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, said Tuesday that Congress needs “to do something about this supply chain dynamic.” Ms. Clarke confirmed that the shortage of feminine hygiene products has gone “beyond a whisper” among her female colleagues in Congress.

Covid vaccines for the youngest Americans could be rolled out in a matter of days after the Food and Drug Administration recommended approving both the Moderna and Pfizer shots, despite some experts warning that they are not needed for children under the age of five.
On Wednesday, members of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee convened debated whether the benefits of Moderna and Pfizer outweigh the risks for America's 18million under-5s.(Snip)Some scientists have warned that children between the ages of six months and five years old face a vanishingly small risk of dying from Covid and that there is little demand for the shots.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called on oil companies to produce more oil and gas products as a 'patriotic duty' to counter rising prices amid Russia's war on Ukraine. Her message came after President Joe Biden accused big oil companies of seeing their profit margin triple on refining, amid global energy shortages and record gas prices. 'We see it as a patriotic duty ... as we've talked about, there's war happening right now. That was caused by Russia, which is why we're seeing these hikes in gas prices, especially since since Russia has amassed, started amassing troops, on the border [of Ukraine], she said.
President Biden's Energy Department has proposed a new rule that would require homeowners looking to buy a new furnace to install a 95 percent energy-efficient one within the next seven years.
The new rule would require that gas-burning residential furnaces be condensing gas furnaces, which reuse gas and water vapor that normal noncondensing furnaces vent into the atmosphere. It would require that all gas-burning furnaces on the market to be switched over by 2029.(Snip)The Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that the new furnaces will save households about $60 per year, a number that totals $30.3 billion over the next 30 years.
