safe to be around

Utah’s Black Lives Matter chapter has labeled everyone who flies an American flag “a racist” in a Facebook screed posted over the Independence Day holiday, reports noted on Thursday. “When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around,” says the post. “When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist. “When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred,” the post continued.

Hmm...I haven't put my flag out since Xiden was appointed, but if this is the case I may need to rethink that. Who knew Old Glory would repel vermin so effectively? Just curious - how many blacks are there in Utah? I'd think you'd have more luck finding a two-horned unicorn.

Well, isnt it just all about you? I fly my flag because I kiss the ground of this country, and my father and uncle fought in WWII in the Pacific Theater. My mother worked 7 days a week in the Navy Department for 4 years ensuring our naval ships and planes got the parts to repair and keep them functioning. Sorry, bunkie, but my life does not revolve around you or your perpetual griping over your phoney baloney made-up inequity.

I already know I'm an ignorant racist: I'm told so every minute, every day. Lots of flags on houses and vehicles in my part of Florida.

Who's not safe to be around? If a BLM advocate urges you to say "Black Lives Matter" but you say that "all lives matter", look out. You are likely to be shown in some painful ways that your life doesn't matter to them. The Utah BLMs ought to remember that the American Flag was with the Union troops in the Civil War who fought and died to free their ungrateful asses. So knock it tf off with calling everybody racist, already.

BLM should listen to one of the greatest African American orators of our time, Lt Cdr Evangelo Morris (USN, Ret).

The headline editor meant to say “BLM (Black lies Matter) is racist and dangerous and not safe to be around”.....but he’s a white liberal who always lies and we know that’s a mental disease, right? The story should have concluded by saying “these treasonous haters are being deported to Liberia all summer until they’re all gone” Wouldn’t that be heartwarming?

I fly the flag 364 days. On April 26, I fly the Confederate First National flag in honor of my ancestors who shed blood for the South. Do not try to trash or steal either one from my house. I have a ggg grandfather (Colonel Elijah Clarkes adjutant) who was killed by the British at the siege of Augusta in 1780. My dad and my uncles were WWII vets and another gg uncle was the youngest US officer in the Spanish-American War. Another served in the War of 1812 and another first cousin spent two years in the freezing hell of the Korean "police action" (over 40,000 American dead in that one). I have some advice for these low IQ America haters...do not come to 'flyover' country and dis the US flag or my Confederate Flag.

There is a pretty affluent - practically all-white - town i know where every Saturday two grannies stand on one of the four corners holding Black Lives Matter signs. The grannies are phonies as are members of the Black Live Matters Movement. BLM is a Marxist movement that tears down rather than builds up like all Marxists' Movements, and they could care less about blacks. They should not allow themselves to be used again.

Then leave this country and check in with your relatives in Afffffrikkka, you know, the ones that sold you and are still maintaining slave trade in Afffffrikka! It will make for a great re-union! Here is another history tip for this chapter in Utah. It was Afffrikka and Arabia in particular that was busy with slave trade 1000 years before Europeans caught up with it.

Guess we all have our opinions. That's why we have a First Amendment. When I see a BLM sign or flag, that's exactly what I think. "The person flying it is not safe to be around." I might say or do something they find "offensive" and before you know it, they will become violent. They certainly do live in another America than normal, ordinary Americans. They think blacks are the majority. They think we care that they are offended by our very existence. We certainly do hope they will avoid us and just leave us alone. They have free speech, but I don't have to listen to the opinions of such ignorant and unintelligent people.

Over the Independence Day weekend we flew 7 US flags on our front porch. My husband is a historian and has collected most of the different versions of the flag which were changed as the country grew. We also flew the Gadsden flag. We live on a street where some of the home owners fly the American flag every day, most others fly it on special occasions and only one house - the tree huggers across the street - never flies it. Oh, and the entire neighborhood is white, so you BLM thugs should probably not come here because we are certainly NOT safe to be around.

Guess what, when I see a BLM flag, I feel unsafe! The great thing about the US flag, it does not make you stay here. You are free to come and go as you please. Please go to another "safer" country and spew tour venom. Take your BLM flag with you. If I am ever trapped in a crowd with a BLM flag, I doubt they will afford me the same courtesy (as someone flying the US flag) and let me leave peacefully. They will assault me and burn by vehicle all because Black Lives Matter. Which flag is the greater threat?

An online left-wing magazine in Canada is calling for the sale of pickup trucks to be banned unless the purchaser can prove that they really need one in their lives, and this has Americans worried that the United States could be next. In a piece published this week, Passage magazine managing editor Davide Mastracci argued that the long-term goal is to “shift away from relying on private vehicles entirely,” but that for now, he’d like to start with the iconic, American-created pickup truck. Why? Because of the alleged threat posed by climate change.“[D]rastically cutting emissions from the transportation sector is of the utmost importance for a successful climate strategy.

The National Football League (NFL) recently joined virtually every other American institution in lauding — and marketing to — the LGBT community during Pride Month in June. It did so by releasing a new 30-second commercial proudly proclaiming that "football is gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, bisexual and exciting." The ad begins by stating "football is gay" to the sound of drums rolling and people cheering. (I'm not sure what Dick Butkus would have to say about this advertisement, but I digress.) [Tweet] The ad is in part a direct response to Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib's recent announcement that he is gay, a league spokesperson said.

WASHINGTON — Two weeks after celebrating America’s near “independence” from the coronavirus, President Joe Biden is confronting the worrying reality of rising cases and deaths — and the limitations of his ability to combat the persistent vaccine hesitance responsible for the summer backslide. Cases of COVID-19 have tripled over the past three weeks, and hospitalizations and deaths are rising among unvaccinated people. While the rates are still sharply down from their January highs, officials are concerned by the reversing trendlines and what they consider needless illness and death. And cases are expected to continue to rise in coming weeks.

The vast majority of Covid-19 anti-vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories originated from just 12 people, a report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) cited by the White House this week found. CCDH, a UK/US non-profit and non-governmental organization, found in March that these 12 online personalities they dubbed the “disinformation dozen” have a combined following of 59 million people across multiple social media platforms, with Facebook having the largest impact. CCDH analyzed 812,000 Facebook posts and tweets and found 65% came from the disinformation dozen. Vivek Murthy, US surgeon general, and Joe Biden focused on misinformation around vaccines this week

Three Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the Texas House Democratic Caucus. The three lawmakers are among House Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., earlier this week to stave off GOP priority voting bills during the special legislative session. The three members who tested positive all have been fully vaccinated, which helps protect against severe illness. On Friday night, one member tested positive for the coronavirus and immediately alerted colleagues, who, in addition to staff members, took rapid tests. On Saturday morning, two additional members tested positive after taking rapid tests. The cases were first reported by the Austin American-Statesman.

Here are the biased numbers for the recent Economist-YouGov poll that gives Joe Biden a 49% approval rating. (snip) Dem (324) Republican (235) Independent (260) Ninety-nine more Democrats sampled vs. Republicans were included in the results. It is not hard to get the results you want if the polls are assembled in this way, and this is always the method with these polls. A total of 819 from 1,500 participants. Does that mean the rest were dumped because they are not registered to vote or affiliated with a party? Were their answers included in the reported percentages?

Officials in Australia are rebranding shark “attacks” as “a negative encounter” as experts argue the former had given the nautical predators a bad reputation not based on science. At least two of the six Australian states have reportedly changed the way they officially describe shark attacks. In New South Wales, the government’s shark reports now refer to shark “incidents” or “interactions,” and in Queensland, the state government refers to them as “a negative encounter,” Sky News reported.(Snip)Proponents argue the word “attack” has created a culture of fear around sharks, one often depicted in movies. “Sharks are very curious animals,” Leonardo Guida, a shark biologist
