A Tennessee mayor drew criticism for a Facebook message and a picture of the town’s American flag at half-staff on Inauguration Day.
“While many critics accused him of trying to incite anger with the post, the mayor insisted that his post had nothing to do with Biden’s inauguration,” the Blaze reported Thursday.
In his Facebook message, Robert T. Keeton III, mayor of Bruceton, wrote, “The Town of Bruceton grieves for our Republic and our loss of freedoms. We mourn the victims of the Chinese plague and those that have suffered its depredations.”
“We pray that God delivers and restores us and that we do not fall to the clutches of communism.”

Since I am not addicted to TV "news" I wondered about the multiple flags at half staff yesterday.

Mayor Keeton sure sounds like the understands the true meaning of what a flag flying at half-staff means!!!
At least half the nation is in mourning at this time, so it sure sounds appropriate to me!!!

As far as I'm concerned, they can cancel the fourth of July. There's no reason to celebrate the Bill of Rights and the Constitution with a people in D.C. who don't believe in them.

I didn't want to fly an inverted "distress flag" so I dug out the mourning ribbon I bought for zero's "elections" and raised my flag to full staff. I made a miniature version for my window mount truck flag.

I have flown an American flag for the last 11 years, since my nephew was killed in Afghanistan in a firefight. I took it down the morning of the hideous disaster they pretended was an inauguration. I am not proud of my country now that it is a third world banana republic run by unelected thugs, and lorded over by a version of the KGB.

This mayor knows something about communism and God. He is a hero for this, and it's refreshing to hear his story. If they're going to come after US, let it be for a worthwhile cause. Thank you, Mayor Keeton III, you, Sir, are the stuff.

Seems to me the conditions are ripe for spontaneous rallies, cars, boats,corners and just sign holding around the country. We didn't need
permission or speakers.

I tested positive for covid about a month ago and after living out my isolation period I now wear a mask anytime I go out, not for me but for other folks, just in case I can stop someone else from getting sick. I do however do this, my mask has a flag on it and I wear it upside down. This is in the military a sign of distress, which I figure quid pro joe in the WH and camel face as vp, is about is about as distressed as we can get.

Wow. That was an awesome act. Bruceton is a bit north of Jackson TN, if you haven't checked; about 2..5 hours from Memphis. Kudos to Mayor Keeton.
