Trump STICKS It To Democrats Endorses THIS Amendment

Trump STICKS It To Democrats Endorses THIS Amendment

Image credit: Fox News

This should have been done DECADES ago…

President Donald Trump got on Twitter, his favorite platform, and said he is “all in” on banning the burning of the American flag.

“All in for Senator Steve Daines as he proposes an Amendment for a strong BAN on burning our American Flag. A no brainer!” he said.

All in for Senator Steve Daines as he proposes an Amendment for a strong BAN on burning our American Flag. A no brainer!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 15, 2019

The Amendment was introduced by Montana Sen. Steve Daines and was co-sponsored by North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer, The Daily Mail reported.

‘Our United States flag is a timeless symbol of liberty that tells the story of America, the story of our enduring pursuit of freedom,’ Daines said.

‘Remembering the sacrifices of all who carried its colors into battle, our nation should always render the flag the honor and dignity it is due.’

This is the third time in the last three years that Daines has introduced proposed legislation seeking to give Congress the authority to ban the burning of the Stars and Stripes.

But the Supreme Court has already ruled that the burning of the flag is protected under the First Amendment.

Forty-eight states passed laws against flag burning, but those laws were ruled unconstitutional in 1989 following the Supreme Court decision in the Texas v. Johnson case.

‘Johnson’ refers to Gregory Johnson, who was arrested by authorities in Texas after he burned the flag outside the Republican National Convention in Dallas in 1984.

Earlier this week, the city of Cleveland agreed to pay the 63-year-old Johnson $225,000 after he was arrested for burning the American flag outside the Republican Convention in Cleveland in 2016, according to The New York Times.

    RUN THIS THROUGH THE SUPREME COURT NOW–ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS AN ELECTION YEAR–Let the anti-America Flag Burners stand out. Mr. President make this an issue against the liberal demoncrats who do not respect America, those that served and gave their lives, and those of us who are still proud to be called Americans.

    Reagan, Should have leveled the Allotolla’s Palace Decades ago, when Jimmy Carter could not get the job done, by freeing the American’s being kidnapped by Students!! The USA has been playing dumb ass to Iran by allowing Russia to build them a Nuclear Power Plant, along with a Enrichment Facility to produce Weapons Grade Uranium from spent Uranium Rods, but Jimmy Carter Outlawed Enrichment Facility’s in the USA decades ago? Iran has kicked Inspectors out on many Occasions and got away with it, but when President Obama came on Board he bent over backwards to allow Iran have their way, with help of his treasonous buddy “John Kerry” they adopted a treaty with Iran which allowed the Nuclear Enrichment of spent Uranium Fuel Rods and start a Nuclear Weapons program. Not only did Obama allow his Islamic Buddies do that but Obama in the dark of the night fly in Billions of US and Foreign Currency on Packaged Pallets but took about all the sanctions away.
    President, Barack Obama’s administration reportedly misled Congress — and the American people — about a crucial element of the Iran nuclear deal.
    A GOP-led investigation by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations revealed on Wednesday that Obama’s Treasury Department secretly worked on a license to allow Iran access to the American financial system.
    A license, according to the Treasury Department, is “an authorization from [Treasury] to engage in a transaction that otherwise would be prohibited.”
    It’s a big claim. Recall that the Iran deal had the US lift certain sanctions on Tehran in exchange for Iranians curbing their nuclear program. But the US didn’t remove every penalty after signing the agreement in 2015 — meaning that Iran’s access to the US financial system was still limited.
    But according to the new report, the US Treasury Department issued a license to Oman’s Bank of Muscat on February 24, 2016. That license would have let Iran change $5.7 billion worth of Omani rials it held at the bank into euros — after first changing them into US dollars.
    Iran could not change money into dollars without the license, since this would have violated sanctions that were still in place.
    However, two US banks refused to help with the conversion of Iranian-owned Omani rials into dollars — even after Obama officials approached them — reportedly citing a severe hit to their reputations. After all, they knew they would be perceived as circumventing the Iran nuclear deal and aiding Tehran.
    The Associated Press was the first to report on the Senate subcommittee’s findings.
    Sean Kane, a former sanctions official in Obama’s Treasury Department and now a lawyer at Dechert LLP, told me that Treasury “is not and was not in the practice of allowing Iran even indirect access to the US financial system.”
    He continued, “What is being reported appears to be a limited authorization that would have allowed a one-time conversion of specific Iranian reserves held abroad, not something that allowed them to continue accessing the US financial system on a going-forward basis.” Kane also noted that Treasury can issue licenses based on America’s changing foreign policy needs.
    That’s not how some critics see it. “The Obama effort to boost Iran’s economy not only ran counter to American interests, it skirted the law,” Jonathan Schanzer, an Iran expert at the conservative Foundation for the Defense of Democracies think tank, tweeted on Wednesday.
    Did the Obama administration lie about helping Iran?
    What makes this revelation worse, Republican lawmakers say, is that the Obama administration may have at best misled — and at worst, deliberately lied — about granting Iran limited access to the US financial system.
    “The Obama administration misled the American people and Congress because they were desperate to get a deal with Iran,” Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), the subcommittee’s chair, said in a statement.
    Here’s why Portman and others make that claim: In Wednesday’s report, they note statements from top Obama officials saying that this type of action wasn’t a possibility. Iran “will continue to be denied access to the [US’s] financial and commercial market,” then-Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in July 2015.
    And Adam Szubin, a top Treasury official under Obama, said this to the Senate Banking Committee later that month: “Iranian banks will not be able to clear US dollars through New York, hold correspondent account relationships with US financial institutions, or enter into financing arrangements with US banks.”
    It’s still unclear if there was a coordinated effort to keep this specific license hidden from Congress and the American people. But clearly, the Obama administration covertly did more to help Iran than previously known.

    Free Speech, okay, you can talk about the Flag all you want. Setting a fire, is a crime is it not? So, if a law is passed that gives protection to the flag say for setting fires in certain protected places i.e. at a political location, in DC and where ever stated. I see no problem with a law that includes the flag to be protected..

    To burn or mishandle the symbol of our country should be punishable by a six month prison sentence and six months clean up duty in a veterans hospital. Maybe citizenship classes could be included.

    I agree w/ Montana Sen. Steve Daines & North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer NO Burning of the Flag make it a Law.

    It is the Official Flag of our Nation. The Congress should have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States. The first US flag was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1777.

    The Stripes represent the original 13 Colonies & the Stars represent the 50 States of the Union. The colors of the Flag R symbolic as Well Red symbolizes Hardiness & Valor, White symbolizes Purity & Innocence & Blue represents Vigilance, Perseverance & Justice.

    The flag has been used to Display our Nationalism, as well as our Rebellion & everything else in between. The Flag is so important that its history tells the story of America itself. It Represents the Freedom, Dignity & true meaning of being & American. Its also a symbol of the Military Men/Women who fought for our Freedoms for our Country.

    Burning or Defacing a Flag is a Crime in most Countries, so Y not ours??

    So Y do our Citizens want to destroy the Flag?? Its disrespectful to those who have fought & died for us.

    I don’t understand people anymore. Very Sad.

    Ya know, I seem to remember a story a few years back about how these knuckleheads somewhere in the Middle East burned an American Flag & the fumes from the material it was made from turned out to be POISONOUS, KILLING the ones who burned it. Yes, part of me couldn’t help LAUGHING at them & I took GREAT JOY in knowing they got EXACTLY what they deserved. BUT,…..Why not throw some kind of Rider in that Amendment or Bill saying that from now on, ALL AMERICAN FLAGS MUST BE MADE FROM THIS MATERIAL ?!? Seems to me, that would END the whole problem…..OR at least END the IDIOTS who want to burn OUR FLAG…..Just a thought…………
