…day of Carter’s death.

Beyond federal buildings, this includes grounds and naval vessels across the country and its territories.

Therefore, in honor of former President Jimmy Carter, the flags are expected to be at half-staff when Donald Trump is sworn in to his second term on Inauguration Day…

Here's a perfect example of quiet/silent censorship of books that isn't addressed in book ban legislation and isn't addressed well in most conversations about book bans. This library simply relocated materials however they wanted via their new policy.

Want to know why Trump won? Because of THIS garbage. Basically ALL media normalizing Trump for atrocities but grilling Biden and Kamala on nonsense. Trump literally tried to overthrow our govt. Then he stole TOP secret documents and did who knows what with them. But Biden…. Uh huh
