The "acting" POTATUS Joe "dementia" Biden issued a proclamation lowering flags to half-staff for victims of the COVID-19 pandemic. Texas Governor Abbott ordered that Texas and United States flags are lowered to half-staff, and should be returned to full-staff at sunset on Friday, February 26, 2021.

Seems strange that we should lower flags arbitrarily for people that supposedly died of the Covid-19 pandemic (which about 80% of the claimed victims didn't)... but we don't honor the victims of Heart Disease or Cancer, both of which claimed more victims last year than Covid-19.

In fact, it seems we have a flag lowering to honor roughly 10% of U.S. deaths (actually 2% when the lies are stripped away)... but we ignore the remaining 90% of causes of death. No special day for those victims, I guess.

When I first saw the flags lowered, I figured it was Texas officials acknowledging their recent failure with the power outages during the ice storm, and lowering the flags was a display of their embarrassment for making bad choices. :>(
