We lost all credibility when the National Park Service flew the Fort McHenry flag at half mast for the death of the queen. I mean what.

Our flag was put at half mast for the death of the leader of a BUNCH of America’s closest allies, a leader who had stuck with us for 70 years. Given that 1812 was 210 years ago, and we’ve fought on the same side for well over a century now, I think we’ve gotten over the original enmity and just might be close friends.

It’s a lovely way to honor someone of that status and importance to our national goals, even if they’re not American.
