A US Flag altered to include a swastika in the stripes

A US Flag altered to include a swastika in the stripes

Rep. Dave Taylor (Ohio) had this in his office! Blatantly defacing our flag in such a heinous and hateful way, on government property.

How is this not treason?!?

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

Even though we live in a time when it seems like everyone is angry about something we can make a difference. We don't know what other people are facing so be kind. You may never know what a difference you make in someone's ife. Words aren't always needed to brighten someone's day.
