President Jimmy Carter’s mourning period will be on hold Monday, as Donald Trump gets sworn in for a second term.
And to celebrate that “patriotic occasion,” Gov. Ron DeSantis is ordering flags in the state to be lifted back up to full-staff on Inauguration Day.
“On this unique occasion where we simultaneously celebrate the service of an incoming President and commend the service of a former President, our nation’s flag will be prominently displayed at full staff,” reads the memo from the Governor.
Flags will return to half-staff Jan. 21 “to honor President Carter’s service per the ongoing Presidential Proclamation issued December 29, 2024,” the memo continues.
Other GOP leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have issued similar orders to celebrate Trump’s swearing in.
Trump bemoaned President Joe Biden’s flag order earlier this year.
“The Democrats are all ‘giddy’ about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at “half mast” during my Inauguration. They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves. Look at what they’ve done to our once GREAT America over the past four years — It’s a total mess!” Trump said.
“In any event, because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the Flag may, for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President, be at half mast. Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

A prime example showing the level of infantile, petty foolishness exhibited by today’s Republican Party. Over the visual symbol of a half mast flag meant to reflect the respect due the office of the presidency and to honor someone who demonstrated decency and moral courage throughout his life- traits sorely lacking in Republican leadership, apparently. If Trump hadn’t thrown a hissy fit, you know it wouldn’t be happening..I can’t imagine anything more childish.

Relax my liberal school teacher. It’s a one day thing. Now celebrate with the majority of Americans that dumb and dumber (Joe & Kammy) will be gone.

It’s just a one-day sign of respect for the inauguration of our 47th President. Thereafter, the flags of the U.S. and Florida will again be lowered to half-staff in order that the political left may continue to mourn the failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter — a good Christian yet still a failed President — in idolatry to their false idol.

Nothing like usurping the Constitution to brighten the disposition of MAGAs.

Another Hitler analogy? How persuasive … not. As has often been said, get a new record because the old one is wearing thin. Disregard please, for the illiberal use of such rhetoric during the recent Presidential election proved … Don’t forget to throw in your counterproductive and profoundly impotent rhetoric trite terms such as fascism, fascists, existential threat to democracy (Note: Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution), racist, systematic racism, etc., etc. Keep the faith, comrade.

Carter was a great President & humanitarian and a leader in the environment shame on any of you who think otherwise. READ the history on Carter before making stupid remarks Nothing surprises me from Dicktator Nazi Fascist DeSantis. Who has NEVER done a humanitarian anything another trump GREED & power over his constituents. He is an embarrassment as a so called Governor

Vicky, you need to relearn history about the failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter — lines at gasoline stations, high interest rates, inflation so high that historians coined it “stagflation”, the Iran hostage crisis, his failed rescue mission that made the U.S. the joke of the world, giving away the American-built canal in Panama to Panama after approx. 40,000 Americans had lost their lives building, etc., etc. So, shame on you for not knowing history. You’re just another delusional leftwing activist loser.

Comrade, you need to relearn the history of the failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter — inflation so high historians coined it “stagflation”, high interest rates, 53 Americans held hostage in Iran and his failed rescue mission that made the U.S. the laughingstock of the world, giving away the American-made Panama Canal to Panama after approx. 40,000 Americans had died building it, etc., etc. His one bright spot of his Presidency was when he lost re-election in one of history’s greatest electoral landslides. Why are leftwing activists so delusional and misinformed about history and basic civics — products of government indoctrination facilitated by leftwing public schools.

I know you and Peachy d– your ideological twin — don’t like to google questions, but truth requires a little labor sometimes.
History channel says: “Between 1904 and the end of construction in 1913, the United States recorded the deaths of 5,855 canal workers.” NOT 40,000.

Before Joe Biden came around , Jimmy Carter was viewed by many as the worst President in modern history. Look no further than the rout Reagan delivered on his re-election attempt. Jimmy smiles from the heaven above thanking the people of America for voting for Joe. The monkey is off his back now.

He’s not in the 5 worst. But Trump is. Number 3 if I recall. His election just further cements the American people were duped or scumbags themselves (I have faith in America, so I will go with duped).
Trump’s got nothing but lies and propaganda. Are you vying for the title of Walmart Goebbels or something? What do you get out of this?

Victoria? You conveniently do not remember the failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter, e.g., his failed attempt to rescue 53 Americans held hostage in Iran (which made the United States a global laughingstock), such record high inflation and interest rates as historians coined the term “stagflation”, long lines at gasoline stations, gifting the American-made Panama Canal to Panama after nearly 40,000 Americans had lost their lives building, etc. The only highlight of Carter’s Presidency was when he lost re-election in one of history’s most embarrassing electoral landslides to the great, late Ronald Reagan.

Laughingstock? The Europeans laughed at Trump the first time he visited in 2017, but later realized that he was batshit crazy and they sobered up fast.
NATO sent forces to Afghanistan. With Trump in office would the US send boots on the ground per the treaty agreement? Or let Putin have his way with them, as he said about Ukraine?

Thank you Ron & Casey Desantis for making this totally appropriate and patriotic decision to fly OLD GLORY high & proud.
In fact Ron & Casey’s Sage & Appropriate decision is one in which our Beloved President, Jimmy Carter, would 110% support.
While we are on the subject of Jimmy Carter we are all, 110%, in agreement that Jimmy found M. 0bama’s boycot of his funeral very disrespectful and her plans to boycot Trump’s inaguration to be a “Slap in The Face” to all Americans, be they Red or Yellow, Black or White, or Brown.
Disgracefull M. 0.,

Carter came into office following the disgraceful exit of RMN who left Ford and Carter holding the Vietnam war bag. An overheated economy came out of the war — such as military contractors getting cost-plus contracts during it. The oil producing nations — like our pals in Saudi — saw this as a good time to ration the flow of oil to the US. (Of course, Trump could have turned the spigots back on, right?)
Stagflation is the combination of high inflation, stagnant economic growth, and elevated unemployment — conditions that stemmed from post-Vietnam, which heated up the economy before deflating it, and high energy prices which affected every sector of the econcomy. There were also hundreds of thousands of former Viet-era GIs looking for work.
The Panama Canal gets its name because it is located entirely in Panama and, like Gitmo, has been an advance element of US imperialism in this hemisphere. (Bay of Pigs, the subversion of Guatemala in 1954, the overthrow of Allende in Chile.)
As for Carter’s defeat in 1980: The US immediately went into a sharp economic decline with high unemployment. Reagan’s response was a massive tax cut for the wealthy, which has been followed similarly by W and Reagan.

Cheers to America’s Governor! Ron DeSantis is the greatest chief executive in the history of the Sunshine State. If it were allowed, he’d win re-election in another historic landslide. Though Florida’s First Lady has respectfully declined to consider a gubernatorial run of her own, Casey DeSantis would easily defeat whoever the Democratic gubernatorial nominee would be and become Florida’s first female governor. Democrats are shaking in their boots like the proverbial roadkill they’ve become.

Tell that to the Democratic governor of the People’s Republic of New York, who did the same thing as Governor DeSantis of the free state of Florida. Should apologies be forthcoming from the corporatist legacy news media and their political-left masters?
