American flag must come down, condo association tells owner — because it's making too much 'noise' when wind blows



Old Glory has been enduring quite the beating in a variety of ways lately.

From professional athletes kneeling in front of it when the national anthem is played before games to violent left-wing protesters burning it in the streets and Democrat-dominated county mulling a restriction on it — on private property, no less — it seems everywhere you turn these days there's a new push against the American flag.

Well, now there's a new complaint — and it's coming from a condominium association in Fargo, North Dakota.

Now what?

Andrew Almer told KVLY-TV that he's flown a U.S. flag from his balcony at the Plum Tree Square condos with no problem for the last two years.

"It's a symbol of our nation. It should be flown whenever it can be," Almer told the station. "I have a lot of friends and family that are in the military."

Then a chilly breeze began to blow.

Almer told KVLY he started receiving letters about two months ago from the condo association president saying his flag must come down — because it makes "an excessive amount of noise in the the wind at all hours."

The letter also states that Almer's flag must come down "during these times" as well as during "any inclement weather" and "between sunset and sunrise."

"You really have to be kidding me?" Almer exclaimed to the station. "With everything that's going on nowadays in the world, this is something that you're going to complain about?"

The Federal Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 says no homeowner association can restrict owners from displaying the American flag on their property, KVLY noted.

"It's not anything offensive," Almer added to the station. "It's not rude, it's not nasty — it's the American flag."

But KVLY reported that there are exceptions — specifically that associations can restrict owners from flying the American flag if it's reasonable or in the best interest of the association.

'It's not coming down anytime soon'

Either way, Almer emphasized to the station that his flag is staying up, even if there are fines in his future.

"It's not coming down anytime soon," he told KVLY. "It's not making that much noise that it's a liability to the association."

The station said it made multiple attempts to get in contact with the condo association president but has not heard back.

Anything else?

The following are some other examples of recent stances against the U.S. flag:

  • Fairfax County, Virginia — where nearly 75% of ballots last fall were for President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump — earlier this month was looking into regulated the size, height, and number of flags that residents and businesses can fly on private property, including the American flag.
  • Last fall, a Columbia University adjunct lecturer insisted the American flag is a hateful symbol of genocide.
  • In October, Antifa militants reportedly were caught on video ganging up on a woman of color and dragging her to a Portland, Oregon, sidewalk by her hair in an attempt to yank an American flag from her — but she wouldn't let go.

Buy there was some good news, too:

Residents livid at Democrat-dominated county for considering limits on flags — including American flags — on private property



In Fairfax County, Virginia — a Democratic stronghold outside of Washington, D.C., where nearly 75% of ballots last fall were for President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump — flags have become an issue.

So much so that the county is looking into enacting an ordinance that would regulate the size, height, and number of flags that residents and businesses can fly, WDVM-TV reported — and that includes the American flag.

The station said a public hearing was held on the matter last month.

What are the details?

"We're not stopping anybody from flying an American flag if they want to," Leslie Johnson, zoning administrator for the county's Zoning Ordinance Modernization committee, told the public, according to WDVM. "All we're doing is putting parameters around the size, the location, and the height."

But Daniel Gade — a former Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate — wasn't too understanding. He's concerned about the proposed flag requirements since they call for smaller flag sizes than those that are draped over fallen soldiers' coffins, the station said.

"Let's make a stink about this because it's ridiculous," Gade said, according to WDVM. "And the idea that a bureaucrat would tell us how big of an American flag to fly, right here in America, is offensive."

Others expressed similar sentiments at the public hearing, the station said.

"No other flag or display can in any way be equated to the American flag," Robert Maggi, a county resident, said during the hearing, according to WDVM. "For me, it is the right of every American to fly the American flag on their property. Please ensure this right is made clear in the pending zoning regulations."

Resident Adrienne Whyte asked "why flags and flag poles were rushed into the agenda. It seems like solution in search of a problem, and I fear the solution could be worse than anything we are experiencing now," the station reported.

WDVM added that some also have raised questions about why the American flag is not distinct from other flags, as the proposal treats the American flag the same as all other flags.

Florida agriculture chief vows to defy Gov. DeSantis' order to lower flags in honor of Rush Limbaugh



Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried (D) announced Monday that she will instruct offices under her control to defy Gov. Ron DeSantis' order to lower the flags in the state to half-staff in honor of conservative talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh, who passed away last week.

What are the details?

Limbaugh, a longtime resident of Palm Beach, Florida, passed away at 70 on Wednesday from lung cancer, and will be buried in the state. DeSantis announced Friday during a news conference that "once the date of interment for Rush is announced, we're going to be lowering flags to half-staff."

"There's not much that needs to be said, the guy was an absolute legend," DeSantis said of Limbaugh. "He was a friend of mine and just a great person."

But some Democrats expressed outrage over the Republican governor's decision to honor Limbaugh, who was idolized by many on the political right but despised by many on the left.

Fried, whom the Tampa Bay Times noted is the only statewide elected Democrat, issued a statement declaring outright that she will openly refuse to carry out the order.

"Lowering to half-staff the flag of the United States of America is a sacred honor that pays respect to fallen heroes and patriots," Fried said in a statement. "It is not a partisan political tool. Therefore, I will notify all state offices under my direction to disregard the Governor's forthcoming order to lower flags for Mr. Limbaugh – because we will not celebrate hate speech, bigotry, and division."

The agriculture chief added, "Lowering the flag should always reflect unity, not division, and raising our standards, not lowering them. Our flags will remain flying high to celebrate the American values of diversity, inclusion, and respect for all."

According to WFLA-TV, "Fried's office oversees a number of state facilities, including nine regional licensing offices, 38 state forests, and 23 agricultural law enforcement inspection stations."

The Hill reached out to DeSantis' office for comment in reaction to Fried's statement on Monday, but did not receive an immediate response.

Also, St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman, also a Democrat, announced in a tweet that city flags also won't be lowered to honor Limbaugh. Instead, the flags will be lowered to honor Pinellas County sheriff's deputy Michael Magli, who died last week after he was struck by a pickup truck, Kriseman said.

Anything else?

Limbaugh's widow, Kathryn, also announced Monday that a virtual memorial service will be held in the coming weeks to give tribute to her husband, Fox News reported.

"We are in the initial stages of planning a celebration of life that will be able to be viewed by all of the audience and friends and extended family at some point in the near future," Mrs. Limbaugh said. "We don't have an exact date just yet, we're working on some of the logistics."
