Do you think The power players 💰 are so embedded like a tick, that even integral Constitutionalist can Or have to become infected to survive ?

Don’t tell Rusty, but I would pick Carter on the Dem. side, for most improved leader.
The two political parties are the conduits of corruption. You cant rise to power without the party. The parties are owned by the corporate interests. Global financial/military/corporate interests are the source of corruption.

Our politicans are their TOOLS.

Since 2023, construction has been underway to repair the road at mile 45. This spring two mobile trucks and one piece of heavy equipment had been flying standard-sized U.S. flags. One of the contractors working on the bridge reached out to the Alaska Watchman regarding the recent order that the flags be removed. He asked that his name not be used, given that he is actively working on the project.


According to the contractor, Denali National Park Superintendent Brooke Merrell contacted the man overseeing the federal highways project, claiming there had been complaints about the U.S. flags, and notifying him that bridge workers must stop flying the stars and strips from their vehicles because it detracts from the “park experience.”

Sounds reasonable to me
 
So US flags should not be flown in a US national park?

I was looking at it from the point of view that an employer would take, and we all know that the employer sets the terms and conditions of employment. Don’t like it, don’t take the job.

Now as far as you n I are concerned, that’s a little different. We aren’t employed or under contract by the national park service.

She is an Obama appointee. Probably hates this country like he said that he does.

I knew that was coming. lol

I’m going to MSLI this **** and look at it differently than the way the article tries to paint the situation. The article would have you believe some communist broad is trying to destroy America by banning flags in a National park.

The way I choose to see it is prolly closer to the truth than your doom n gloom take on this so here goes.

You have 3 guys flying huge *** flags on their trucks, a 3x5 flag is not a small flag. You know the image that comes to mind when you see a big ol flag on a truck, redneck, racist, ignorant and a bunch of other stuff. Might not be true but that doesn’t matter because that’s the perception that is given off by a giant flag on a truck. The swastika has a similar effect on people, when was the last time you saw one of them flying proudly?

Enter the new female director that is thinking about the overall experience of the park for people like you and everybody else on the face of gods green earth, many of which prolly would prefer to not see huge *** flags on work trucks. So now what we really have going on is a new director, or whatever her title is, is actually doing her job and told 3 dudes to take the flags off of their trucks while they are working on park property.

If you had some truck nuts hangin off your van how well do you think the average customer would receive that as you’re backing up their driveway. Wouldn’t take but one phone call to the shop until you got told to lose the nuts or find another shop to work for. Is that unAmerican? Communistic? What if the truck nuts were red, white and blue with little stars on the balls? Does that change anything?
 
Flags remind them of MAGA. They hate MAGA more than they like out flag.
Simplified Yes ! that is probably correct, however the deeper issue is NONE ACCEPTANCE ! On both sides.

What does this acceptance look like and where are the special glasses that help me/us see it ? ….. Explore that question, then give a few examples.
 
Ordering a Pizza in 2024
CALLER: Is this Pizza Hut?
GOOGLE: No sir, it's Google Pizza.
CALLER: I must have dialed a wrong number, sorry.
GOOGLE: No sir, Google bought Pizza Hut last month.
CALLER: OK. I would like to order a pizza.
GOOGLE: Do you want your usual, sir?
CALLER: My usual? You know me?
GOOGLE: According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust.
CALLER: Super! That’s what I’ll have.
GOOGLE: May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust?
CALLER: What? I don’t want a vegetarian pizza!
GOOGLE: Your cholesterol is not good, sir.
CALLER: How the hell do you know that?
GOOGLE: Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.
CALLER: Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetarian pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.
GOOGLE: Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you purchased only a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once at Lloyds Pharmacy, 4 months ago.
CALLER: I bought more from another Pharmacy.
GOOGLE: That doesn’t show on your credit card statement.
CALLER: I paid in cash.
GOOGLE: But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.
CALLER: I have other sources of cash.
GOOGLE: That doesn’t show on your latest tax returns, unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law!
CALLER: WHAT THE HECK?
GOOGLE: I'm sorry sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.
CALLER: Enough already! I'm sick of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others. I'm going to an island without the internet, TV, where there is no phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me.
GOOGLE: I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago...
 
Flags

Maybe 🤔 the evil Democom 😜 running Denali National Park would allow the size of flag that I fly ? ….. Maybe 🤔 if both sides soften the speech, both verbally and sympathetically, balance, understanding and acceptance could creep in. ✌️ Sorry 😢 second photo is with the screen open, you should be able to see the flag now.
