New in PJ Media:
Sometimes it has looked as if we were a conquered people suffering under the occupation of a foreign power, and that was likely the idea: gay pride flags and Black Lives Matter flags have bedecked U.S. embassies all over the world. But now the Republicans in the House, continuing their charge out of the gate after the speaker imbroglio, have introduced legislation that is designed to stop allowing the Left to let its freak flag fly and to remind us which country this is: the United States of America, not the Gay/Trans Kingdom, Queendom and Whateverdom, or the Race-Baiting Republic. Old Joe Biden will likely whisper creepily that he will veto any such bill, as his cherished constituencies are foremost in the minds of his handlers. They’re not going to allow any challenge to their sovereignty.
Still, the House bill is an important reminder of what we are, and are not, as a nation. Fox News reported Wednesday that “the Old Glory Only Act, from Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, is aimed at pushing back at what Republicans say is the politicization of U.S. embassies by the Biden administration.” “Politicization” is a delicate and diplomatic understatement; it will do, but “conquest and occupation” would have been much more apposite.
Duncan explained: “Our beautiful flag, Old Glory, should be the only flag flying and representing our country over our diplomatic and consular posts worldwide. The American flag is a beacon of liberty, and no other flag or symbol better portrays our shared values than the Stars and Stripes.” Indeed. But since the Left has been and remains so intent upon destroying those shared values, it’s not surprising that it would find the idea of flying only the American flag at American embassies so offensive.
Fox notes that “the push to fly the rainbow pride flag started in 2014, under the Obama administration.” Big surprise there. Since then, “the pride flag has flown over the embassies in more than a dozen countries since then, including Russia, Spain, Sweden and South Korea.” Meanwhile, “the Black Lives Matter flag has been flown at U.S. embassies in Brazil, Greece, Spain, Bosnia, Cambodia, and South Korea, according to Duncan’s office.”
Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “banned the flying of these flags, but that decision was reversed under the Biden administration.” Another big surprise. Then “in April 2021, Secretary of State Antony Blinken authorized embassies and consulates to fly the rainbow pride flag.” Blinken “approved the change just before May 17, the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, and said embassy leaders can make the call on whether flying a pride flag is ‘appropriate in light of local conditions.’”
There is more. Read the rest here.

I remember how, during Gay Pride day, the US embassy in Moscow flew the rainbow flag, and was mocked by several Russians, including Putin. They are right to wonder what this country has become
I just hope that the GOP pushes this bill in the next Congress as well, once we have a GOP president and GOP senate as well. We don’t want them to just push these when they have no chance of passing, but forget it later when they’re in the majority. Trust me, there are plenty of issues after this one to be solved, and there will be more down the pike to keep them busy

I like your optimism; however, I doubt that will happen.
President Ronald Reagan once said, “When you can’t make them see the light, make them feel the heat.” And, Ernest Hemingway once said, “Never…. mistake motion for action.”
Those two statements go hand in hand. When I see the Republican Party consistently applying the heat and actually bringing about changes that benefit the American people, then and only then, I might become more optimistic.

Yes, that’s a very good rhetorical question. Which is “Those country is this anyway ?”
Furthermore in a jihadwatch. article informs the reader that “The Black Lives Matter organization has embraced the movement known as the Red /Green alliance” which is the Communist -Islamic alliance.
Hamas, was started and is still funded by that Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran.
The jihadists of Hamas hate the Jewish people and they hate Israel and want to destroy her.
Likewise, the BLM members strongly dislike and even hate the Jew’s. This they have proven repeatedly by their words and actions.
That much Hamas and BLM have in common. Nevertheless, in the United kingdom or the United States of America the BLM members don’t realize of know it but they are only the what are called the “useful idiots” of the jihadists in their quest for the advancement of Islam and the establishment of Sharia law in all nations.
In other words, those jihadists use the BLM members as their stooges and tools to fulfill their Islamic agenda.
If successful in their Islamic agenda those violent jihadists will turn on their BLM stooges who they use as their tools for they might get in the way of the enactment of Sharia law which is very strict harsh and cruel.
Related to all this it might be of interest to some BLM members that a scholar on Islam who is an Arab woman and speakers and reads Arabic and uses to live in one of those countries on the Middle East had exposes in her book that the prophet of Islam, Muhammad referred to Blacks as “ ‘raisin heads’ several time in the hadith [1:663:9:256]”
Her book also reveals that “Throughout the hadith blacks are also referred to as abeds, which means ‘black in Arabic and is also synonymous with the word “slave’ and filth.” In fact, Arab Muslims have enslaved blacks for 1,400 years and the Black slave trade is still thriving in Sudan and Mauritania.”
Further in her same book the author reveals that “Most interesting, though, is the even though black slavery by Muslims began long ago , almost no descends of those slaves are alive today in the Muslim world. Why is there no black culture in the Middle East ? Most slaves were either killed or died from being worked to death.” [1]

“Mccarthy’s concern over Omar stems from her past comments, condemned as antisemitic, that were sharply critical of the Israel. Omar was forced to apologize in 2019 over a tweet suggesting that a prominent pro-Israel lobbying group was paying members of Congress to support the nation.
Omar has also been criticized for comparing the U.S. and Israel to terrorist groups, accused Israel of terrorism and war crimes, and minimized the actions of the 9/11 hijackers.”
