Making a new flag for a certain group is dishonor. Plain and Simple

Let's Talk about Real disrespect to the American Flag

Bluelivematters has got to be the biggest case of trying to 1 UP someone I have every seen. So recently I was scrolling (ya'll know how this goes) and I came across a post that made a lot of sense to me. Quoting this post it said, " How is it wrong for us to kneel to a flag when your hate group went and changed it completely to represent blue lives matter?" I was tickled on the inside because this was the truest statement I have ever read since this whole war started. How can you be mad at someone who kneels for the flag when you changed it to represent one group who is causing the most injustice against citizens?

After getting a good laugh I research a little bit more into the topic of flags. After about an hour or two I realized wow, these are mostly the same men and women who got mad at Kaepernick for sitting but produced a whole different flag for cops. Where is the so called disrespect there that you were spewing at Kaepernick? He wants a change to be implemented in order to feel protected under the flag. Meanwhile, a whole new flag has been created to support one group that needs major change.

In wrapping up I just want to say don't be a hypocrite during these times because we see you. We see you yelling "respect the Flag!!" Yet, holding an altered one to yell blue lives matter. We see you trolling about how black lives matter is a hate group but how cops commit killing to every race and you yourself have neglected to speak up for your people. I'm not by all meanings saying all cops are bad but when you gonna stop thinking they all are good? There is also the fact you proudly support our troops so much when it's an event, but changed the flag of the United States when you felt someone was being "targeted". Don't one minute be all troops and respect the American flag but then yell blue lives matter and produce a new one forgetting about the troops you so called care about. I wish yall cared about the injustice against men and women that served as much as ya'll do. Men and women that get paid vacations to kill. Above all, practice what you preach. Don't tell someone else how to respect something when you yourself are the biggest dishonor.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
