Me: Why's the flag lowered to have staff?
Him: Haven't you heard the Queen of England died?
Me: Wait, so we lower the U.S. flag for foreign dignitaries? Since when?
Him: We just do what we're told around here.
So am I so country bumpkin that I missed somewhere along the way that we lower our flag for foreign heads of state/dignitaries? Someone please enlighten me.
"Someone please enlighten me."
The Queen (The Crown) isn't a foreign head of state. She (It) owns the Corporation called The United States of America. The same corporation that employs Biden and likely all of the 3 letter agencies that operate under his administration.
Everyone needs to read the Treat of Paris and understand its meaning.
The post by TSearch is true too about the flag code.
Understand there are multiple "states of america"
United States of America. united States of America... (Original Republic) The United States of America.
Probably a few more. The main ones are Crown owned and Vatican owned.
