      Here is the front of my house TODAY.

      I had a large American flag that I put up with staples but someone STOLE my flag.

      So, I painted the flag on the front of the house so they can’t steal it.

      I was extremely angry at the thief and I wanted to send them a message that MY opinion is they were NOT Americans. So I painted the stars as swastikas. After that was up for a while I decided to change the blue field of the flag to the flag of Israel, where the true evil is today.

        Is this normal in the USA, or are you the crazy neighbour? Haha

          It’s feels normal to me.

          It’s seems normal for these times.

    Yeah, on a boat. Is it a sinking ship?

    I have to agree, but with this admin it’s equally likely that someone incompetent did it by mistake, didn’t notice, was later told about it, and then didn’t care enough to fix it.

      According to the Newsweek article, It is unclear whether the viral photo is genuine or, if it is, whether the upside-down flag was a mistake or an act of protest by a disgruntled employee.

      If it was actually like this, it was only up for twenty minutes.

      They could be flying or upside down for their asinine and bigoted reasons too. The news story about this is below.
