I doubt Biden’s handlers would order flags at half mast for Rush the conservative radio guy.

February 22nd is George Washington's birthday.

He was kind of important, I think.

Flags are at half mast for the 500 thousand dead.


A Proclamation on Remembering the 500,000 Americans Lost to COVID-19


February 22, 2021 • Presidential Actions

As of this week during the dark winter of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 500,000 Americans have now died from the virus. That is more Americans who have died in a single year of this pandemic than in World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined. On this solemn occasion, we reflect on their loss and on their loved ones left behind. We, as a Nation, must remember them so we can begin to heal, to unite, and find purpose as one Nation to defeat this pandemic.

In their memory, the First Lady and I will be joined by the Vice President and the Second Gentleman for a moment of silence at the White House this evening. I ask all Americans to join us as we remember the more than 500,000 of our fellow Americans lost to COVID-19 and to observe a moment of silence at sunset. I also hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and on all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset February 26, 2021. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same period at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities

So why they do not half the flags after each 500000 Americans Lost due to another accidents (vehicles crashes, flu, etc)? Or they half flags after first 500000 Americans Lost and then do not do this?

Because this is SERIOUS. Duh

Because 500,000 DEAD from ONE cause, NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION.

Because for the last year it was so poorly handled in the USA, world-wide, and in YOUR HOME TOWN.

Because only cancer and heart disease kill more in a year, and Covid is getting worse.. faster.. and changing.

Because extreme political opinions won't save you from disease.

Tell those political 'jokes' at your friends funeral. No one will laugh then either.

Enjoy the kool-aid in your basement with your mask on.

I'll be out in the world, with the other 99.969% of the population, doing just fine. (Including all those people who would normally have contracted flu, or the common cold, this year - both of which have miraculously vanished from the face of the planet. Somehow. Hmmm...)

Every friend I have who's contracted the virus either a) didn't have a clue they even had it, until a test told them so, or b) felt lethargic for a few days, some aches and a fever...and got over it just fine.

Both of you are part wrong ( headed ) on this.

Yes, it's a deadly biological warfare plague unleashed, possibly accidentally or deliberately, by the Evil CCP that owns the Occupier of the White House, who is celebrating the dead to Virtue Signal how great he is.

And, it's only a minor threat to young healthy folk, but a percentage still die.

The statistical stuff is utterly irrelevant to grieving families.

And it's fairly nasty to old, sick, people, as you'd expect from a Biowar weapon designed to boost the Chinese government by eliminating used up peasants.

Nevermind that abortion, or drunk drivers, or whatever other cause of dead friends and family also exists in the world. That's irrelevant too. If I only kill a few old people a day with a baseball bat, while dozens die from old age, I'm still a serial killing monster.

Btw... The words "some experts speculate the new strain may be more infectious" does not mean it's more deadly, although it might be. It probably means that the old strain has already infected, run it's course, left people immune to it that never were counted by organizations, and thus the old Covid-19 Classic flavor is Less infectious to the entire population than last March. Which, again, is statistical, not practical, when it comes to you or your loved ones getting sick, crippled, or dead.

Don't buy into the Fearmongering, or the Denial. It's far more grey.

Democracy...

Demo, from demolition.

Cracy, from Crazy.

( that's not even close, but hey ; ) )

As a dramatic gesture, running the flags at half mast for the total population killed by a virus is as good as any.

Feel free to disagree. Like Time magazines many idiotic "Person of the Year" choices, you are never going to get everyone to agree. Insert rant here on Dramatic Gestures, Harris/Biden* and How much I like 2 stroke bikes. : )

“Hoot went political”

No he didn’t. He went reality. The question posed was “who died”. Wolf answered “Rush”. There is no way flags were at half mast for Rush. Not with a democrat president. Not political. Factual.

Everything is political these days. We've been saved from a racist fascist dictator...by a geriatric that actually may be all of those things

Daft Punk broke up the other day. That made me sad.

I'm pretty sure I answered his question correctly.

Rush supporters lowered their flags to half staff.

Non Rush supporters did not... They didn't get the memo.

Same thing happened in my neck of the woods.

Since when is using our country's flag to represent some sort of event NOT political?

See Paperdick for his thoughts.
