Multiple Democratic lawmakers this week replaced POW/MIA flags outside their Capitol Hill offices with a Transgender Equality flag to commemorate “Trans Visibility Week,” photos show.

The move reportedly came at the behest of the “National Center for Transgender Equality.” The group tweeted Tuesday that it had delivered the flags to every member of Congress – even Republicans – with the request that they be flown outside their offices.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., tweeted a photo of his office with the transgender flag displayed, writing: “Discrimination has no place in our society. I am proud to display this flag as a symbol of my support for transgender people across the country. We must stand with transgender people in all of our community.”

Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., was among multiple Democratic lawmakers whose office was pictured this week with the transgender pride flag in lieu of the POW/MIA flag.
“As a proud member of the @LGBTEqCaucus,” Schrier tweeted late Wednesday morning, “I will do everything I can to make sure transgender people #WontBeErased by violence, fear or prejudice. I am committed to safety and equality for all. #TransVisibilityWeek”
A report from the Washington Free Beacon included a photo shot outside Schrier’s office in January with the POW/MIA flag displayed. Her office has reportedly informed the Free Beacon that the switch is only temporary.
Some Democrats, like Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., displayed the transgender pride flag alongside the POW/MIA flag.

The displays coincide with the House’s rebuke on Thursday to President Trump’s move to ban transgender people from serving in the military. A non-binding resolution opposing the ban passed 238-185, nearly along party lines. Only five Republicans sided with the Democrats to vote in the ban’s favor.
The Trump administration’s policy bars people who have undergone gender transition from enlisting and requires military personnel to serve as their biological gender.
Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., said the policy amounted to “targeted discrimination.” Armed Services Chair Adam Smith, D-Wash., said the Trump policy is “primarily based on ignorance and bias against the transgender community.”

Speaking from the floor in support of the resolution, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who had also placed a transgender pride flag outside her office, said: “There is no moral justification for this ban which violates every value of our American democracy.”

And the next flag they remove from in front of their offices will be the American Flag.
Well they already have = notice the “gold fringe” …. that’s an Admiralty flag; ie- indicated International Law of the Sea and not U.S. Continental Constitutional Law of the Land.
The FemocRats have long been closet Progressive Marxists since the Globalist Banksters installed their man Woodrow Wilson in 1912 giving us the FED/IRS who then forced the crash of 1929 then installed their 2nd main man FDR who by EO stole our personal gold forcing it to be handed into the foreign owned illegal FED fiat bank overlords – then numbered us in their Ponsi SocSec # system as debtor slaves all just in 1933…
Then it really goes downhill from there…
The Globalist plan was set in place here in America once in control of our monetary system in 1913 by potus Wilson@Den Congress = totally unconstitutional as is the 16+17th-Amendments.
Also then started with our educational systems via John Dewey to gradually get God + Scripture out of our schools while pushing socialism for the day they have enough control like now to download their NWO- when WE can-
“only buy + sell by number” –
just as prophesied in Revelation.
These are not our friends, fellow Americans nor good people = they hate true “freedoms under God given Liberty” and hate WE the “deplorable’s” who do value such a great gift from our Founders.
@PG: To be honest, the flag in the picture does represent America UNDER CONTROL of the MARITIME REGIME. The “gold fringe” around the flag represents the bondage to the Maritime system, of government.
You wouldn’t have pedophiles, those who practice incest, those who are into bestilaity, cannibals, necrophiliacs, sado-masochists, in the military, would you?
So why would you allow homosexuals and other sexual freaks in the military? I’m sick and tired of hearing how there’s nothing morally, psychologically, biologically, or sexually wrong with consenting adults practicing homosexuality, sick and tired of it.
I suppose there’s nothing morally, psychologically, biologically, or sexually wrong with consenting adults practicing scat and playing with and eating their own pee and poop either. Why don’t we have a Scat Pride Parade down Main Street while we’re at it? As long as it’s consenting adults there’s nothing morally, psychologically, biologically, or sexually wrong with any sexual practice, right ?!!!!

Discrimination has no place in our society – except against conservatives, white people. men and heterosexuals.
And “people of color” who are conservative and agree with you. The left tells us that we are racists too simply because we embrace Western Civilization and values.
CG: You are among the increasing numbers of People that have come off of the mind-numbing PLANTATION which the (DNC) / DemocRATic National Communist are trying their best to keep you there. I would also have to add the RepubliCANTS in this comment.
My Mom used to tell me….”sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me.”
Write these azzwips and ask them how many people in their own family going back generations are they now DISHONORING in order to be accepted by evil, divisive, miserable people.
I would send them a cup of spit and tell them to throw it in their faces, but then Brennan, Macabe, and Clapper would run the DNA and I would be put in a gulag somewhere….never to be seen again.
Yeah – normal people whom love American ideology as Founded by courageous Faithful geniuses.

This is too far. Even for the lecherous demon-crats. How dare they diminish the lives of those who fought and gave their lives so that these idiots can bloviate and push for rights of a group who already have the same civil rights as every citizen. This cannot be allowed to stand. Where are the Republicans. Are there any left who give two sh*ts about this country. Why aren’t they demanding these traitorous Demon-crats put back the POW?MIA flags. How much farther does this have to go.
Yes the mainline Reflublican’t RINO’s are Dem-lite Globalist go alongs…useless- tho a few Constitutional Conservatives try to hold the line – tho not one Dem.
Have you written any of them lately and told them how you feel and what you want them to do? An actual letter -rather than a call or email – has an effect on the politicians…..they equate each one letter as also representing 99 other people who think the same way and didn’t write them.
Write the bandersnatches…..tell them what you want them to do and if they don’t….you’ll have to “reconsider” your last vote for them.
Trump is under attack because he is “guilty” of promoting world peace. Trump is trying to pull out of endless wars because he wants his troops home for Thanksgiving & Christmas. God bless and protect † Trump †.

Quote form Bernie Sanders ““Discrimination has no place in our society. I am proud to display this
flag as a symbol of my support for transgender people across the
country.”
Bernie forgot to mention “If I don’t do as the bullying transgenders demand they will discriminate against me, take me to a human rights tribunal and will try to bankrupt me. …so that is the real reason I am flying their flag.
The NFL sure isn’t what it used to be. The last player I can think of who had any pride in his team and the NFL was someone who played for San Diego (a running back I believe) and he retired years ago. Kapernack was the last straw for me.
AS a student of “conspiracy” against citizens….. I’m wondering if the fantasy gaming companies are behind some of this…..think about it. If sports lose fans….where might they go for secondary involvement in watching conflict and combat? Online fantasy gaming would be my bet.
I’d like to see local kids and adults start taping the games they play… basketball, football, bowling, soccer, etc., and post them online…..get the public to start substituting from watching watching the traitorous, anti-America” sports to “other sports” for what the average kids and people are doing…..I’d watch that…..
Watching honest players not paid $10’s of millions.

These antics will not stop after Trump leaves office. The Democrats are in full “Alinsky-Chomsky-Zinn” mode. They hate the Constitution, everything it stands for and anyone
who defends it. If you disagree with their woke points of view, you are a racist and a bigot. If you expose their hypocrisy, you will be Doxed and your family will be harassed and tossed out of restaurants. They want a Soviet or Chinese style leader for this country. They need all government workers to have the same communist beliefs and will destroy everyone who strays from the party line. Gulags and re-educated camps can’t be far behind.
Yes – tho it’s their hatred of Christ + His Word at the core of every one of’em = Anti-Christ…”For WE battle not against flesh + blood -but principalities and powers in wicked places……” Ephesians 6
America from the Mayflower Compact on was Founded on Faith in Christ + Scripture = Moses is still depicted seated above SCOTUS- as WE speak + the Senate opened with prayer today as it always has.
The Far-Left statist’s are serving their God – “By their fruits you will know them”.

“… requires military personnel to serve as their biological gender.”
Gender is not biological. Sex is biological.
Gender is what you think you are. Gender is psychological.
Sex is what you are. Sex is anatomical.
Yeah and that is why you frequently see the word “identity” following gender – because it means “this is how I identify myself; not necessarily what I am, just what I think I am or what I would like to be. These people are profoundly mentally ill (delusional to be specific) and it is an outrage that they want everyone else to share in the delusion. And an even bigger outrage that so many people are willing to do so. DNA also defines blood type. This is no different from saying that “my blood may test O+ but I identify myself as AB-.”
Yes it really is. They have a high rate of substance abuse and suicide.

Gender dysphoria has been noted as a mental condition. Why is it being treated as an ethnic group?
This is an insult to all POWs who served to enable these pieces of garbage to run for office and all MIAs whose families are missing them all these years…
…..one down taking a dirt nap……hopefully the Kerry isn’t far behind….the primary two I’m waiting to hear about taking a dirt nap are SORE-BUT AND THE HAG WHO MARRIED BUBBER…..
…because that is how you “divide and conquer” a people….that ploy has been around since man walked the earth. You split them into more and more “special interest” groups…..then set them on each other while they walk in and take over.
It’s called the “United” States of America…..the united part has been busted up into many, many groups……while the groups causing the division sit back and rub their hands together in delighted anticipation of how and when they stroll in and take over.
If we let them…..we’re the fools….not them. They are just EVIL.

These perverts were signing up for the military to get a taxpayer funded sex change operation costing a minimum of $75,000 each! The only thing these guys give for their country is a severed penis.
…we know…….and their hate will consume them (actually almost there now) and it will destroy them….NOT US.

Yes both homosexuality + beastiality were on the books together as aberrant illegal activity in the same crime…
Well then what stops beastialty from now being “legit” in the military since homo’s are openly acceptable being – both were held in the same legal code-?

Unfortunately the Democrats constant attacks and smears is WORKING !!!
51% Americans now support Impeaching President Trump …….WOW !! How F***ing stupid have Americans become!!
Truly sad.
Uhhhhhh….that was a “FOX POLL”…..which is known to be incorrect more than correct…..and the whole network has become Libtard lite….the Uber Left Murdoch brothers took over Fox, ran off Ailes, O’Reily, Bolin and others, and other than Tucker and Hannity….and I’m guessing Ingram (though I never watch her) ….the rest of it is rotten with Killary trash.
Let me give you the best tip I have. ALL OF THE POLLS in the last election were not only wrong, but way off.
The only SINGLE POLL that was correct was that of Professor Helmuth Norpoth of the Stoney Brook University…..He said his algorithms predicted Trump by a 94-95% accuracy to win. The man has an amazing background and history….
Yet other than seeing him on Dobbs and maybe once on a Fox show…..no one paid him any attention.
I would be willing to pay a subscription to follow him on any show he regularly predictes on……and I hate subscriptions……
First, actual real transgenders are a fraction of 1% of America…not counting the perverts who pretend to be one of them.
I cannot even calculate the number of veterans in our country….has to be in the millions. And, those veterans are Whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and other…has to be in the millions.
If ALL veterans in the USA go to vote and take out every last one of these “public money parasites”…..we could clean up a great portion of America. President Trump can’t do it all by himself…..we have to help to keep us “winning.”
Put these parasites back on the streets looking for a job. “Jorge” S0xo@rmos” can’t support all of them.
Second, the offices of the Congress and Senate are PUBLIC property….not their own little fiefdoms.They don’t get to “decorate” OUR offices that we loan them when they are sucking off the public teat!

….NO….this is not what you fought for….and don’t let them make you believe that…..they are sick and twisted….those of you who took up arms for our country and others are the heroes…those of you who volunteered and kept us ready for any invasion of the enemy are heroes…… the women who stayed behind, reared your children and kept the country going until you came home are heroines.
No word they can make up or create can ever change that no matter how hard they try.
Your “battle and war” now is to get these people out of office and clear the path for President Trump to clean out even more of them……I know all of you veterans -male or female – will volunteer and do your jobs. :0).

“Trans Visibility Week”! For cryin’ out loud, aren’t they visible enough 24/7 365 days a year? These freaks never shut up whining. They’re the new “national treasures,” edging out the homosexuals and illegals. Nothing is enough for them.
Yeah – doesn’t it make you wonder what crew they will foist on us next?

There is no such thing as a transgender person, you are either male or female. Just imagine the uproar if reps from the southern states put the Confederate flag outside their office along with the US flag? or if Christians put the Christian flag outside their office or the flag of Israel, that would be one way to make Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tliab have puppies.
Ever hear of intersexuals? They exist, and they are physically both genders. As in, they have both male and female genitalia (they used to be called “hermaphrodites”). They were born that way.
There are also at least six combinations of the X and Y chromosome other than the standard XX (chromosomal female) and XY (chromosomal male) that can result in a human being who survives infancy and becomes, to varying degrees, a near-normal adult. This is proven directly observed fact.
Hermaphrodites are a genetic abnormality and that happens in less than 1% births! No matter how hard you try, you cannot biologically change your sex.
