Should it be illegal to burn our national flag?

No, since it is a violation of free speech, the veneration for the flag is idolatrous at best, and BURNING IS AN APPROPRIATE MEANS OF DISPOSAL ACCORDING TO THE FLAG CODE!!!

If you don't like our flag I'll help you pack for China. yes people should be allowed to PEACEFULLY protest and FREELY DEBATE. But that does not mean that anti-patriotism should be encouraged or that our GREAT CONFEDERATED REPUBLIC should not be held in the highest esteem

It actually says preferably by burning through a private, dignified and solemn ceremony. It also says that the flag should not be used in a way that permits the damaging of the flag, for example BURNING FOR PROTEST WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

When the flag is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display not whenever you feel like it

Iran Wont Take The Bait In Hezbollah War

With the new Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, attempting a charm offensive in the West—and a possible return to nuclear negotiations that would alleviate sanctions on Iran’s battered economy—Tehran is likely to refrain from direct action on Hezbollah’s behalf, said Vali Nasr, a professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies and a former senior State Department adviser.“The mood in Tehran all along has been not to take the bait. They know that Israel wants war now, because it has the intelligence and military advantage, because there is a political vacuum in the United States and because the U.S. Navy is sitting in the Mediterranean,” Nasr said. “Iran is not ready right now because it’s not the right time. But there will be a right time.”

9 Killed As Israel Raids West Bank

At least nine Palestinians were killed on Wednesday, Palestinian authorities said, as Israeli forces raided the flashpoint cities of Jenin and Tulkarm as well as other areas in the occupied West Bank in a major operation involving helicopters and drones.With Israeli forces battling Hamas fighters in Gaza and facing a major escalation of tensions with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement in southern Lebanon, Wednesday's operation underscored the multiple security threats Israel has been battling since the start of the Gaza war last year.The armed wings of the Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah factions said in separate statements their gunmen were detonating bombs against Israeli military vehicles in the three West Bank areas.The Palestinian health ministry said troops had surrounded Jenin's main hospital, blocking off access with earth mounds - a measure the military said was intended to stop fighters seeking refuge.

RFK Jr.’s exit pushes the 2024 spoiler effect to the left

The impact of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspending his presidential campaign Friday and endorsing Donald Trump remains to be seen.It’s more likely to be a boon to Trump than to Vice President Kamala Harris, given Kennedy was drawing significantly more votes from the right and from would-be Trump supporters. But Kennedy’s share of the vote was at about 5 percent and falling.Kennedy’s exit leaves three significant names below Trump and Harris on at least some state ballots: Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver and independent Cornel West.All three come from left-leaning backgrounds. Stein and West are both generally further to the political left than Harris. Oliver’s potential appeal is harder to define, as it often is with Libertarians. But he’s a former Democrat and left-leaning Libertarian who defeated a more right-wing candidate at May’s Libertarian National Convention.But to the extent these candidates get on the ballot, Stein and West especially, very small numbers could matter. The pivotal states in the last two presidential elections, after all, were decided by less than a point — 0.7 percent in Pennsylvania in 2016, and 0.6 percent in Wisconsin in 2020.
