Only U.S. Flags to be flown
Donald Trump has unsurprisingly stirred up controversy following his re-election to President for a second term.
Just days after taking office, the 78-year-old signed 25 executive orders that included stopping the TikTok ban and declaring that there are only two genders in the United States.
As the State Department enacted a one-flag policy, any US embassy or overseas mission cannot fly the Pride or Black Lives Matter flag, according to The Washington Free Beacon.
This means that only three flags that are not the stars and stripes of the United States’ national flag are permitted to be flown. These are: the Prisoner of War, the Missing in Action, and the Hostage of Wrongful Detainee flags.
The Beacon reported: “Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content.”
The order was unanimously confirmed by the Senate on Monday (20 January) in a 99-0 vote.
Both of the flags have been raised in front of official US buildings, such as the US Embassy and Consulate in Brazil, which raised the Black Lives Matter flag in February 2022 to ‘commemorate Black History Month

As it should be. God Bless America
This never should have become an issue to begin with.
Agree with Sully, as it should be. Period.
Just the Stars and Stripes at the top.
Thanks everyone, I couldn't agree more!
