Keep the faith
PLUS: Piss off Trump with the latest merchandise from The Warning store
I love the American flag.
It does not belong to Donald Trump.
The flag belongs to the American people, not MAGA.
MAGA has a flag, and it is not the American flag.
The American flag belongs to you and me.
It is the only opposition flag that should EVER fly above an opposition rally.
I will not blame the United States of America for Donald Trump.
This is a moment to rally to the flag, not away from it.
Do not let Trump’s thugs take this from you.
Do not.
Martin Luther King marched to the Lincoln Memorial under the American flag because he understood that it was a symbol of promise and a symbol of defiance.
Here is what he said:
In a sense, we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.
This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.
Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.”
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.
We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
It is important to understand that Dr. King was always unpopular with a majority of white Americans from the beginning of his public ministry until his martyrdom.
If the consultants that control the Schumercratic agenda in today’s Washington, DC, were working, then they would have advised every Democrat to stay as far away from King as possible.
They would have said that the data doesn’t like civil rights, and given no consideration towards what the right and American thing is to do.
I have an American flag that is quite special. It hung on my wall, but I’ve recently donated it to a place where it can be seen and appropriately revered.
Let me tell you about it.
Aesthetically, it’s a mess. The stars are unevenly spaced.
The stripes are uneven too. It is constructed from a hodgepodge of available fabrics from a difficult situation in a most perilous moment.
The red stripes are the remnants of torn-up Nazi flags.
The Blue Canton is made from parachute silk hastily died blue.
The stitching is hurried.
The flag was made sometime on June 6, 1944.
It was presented to American soldiers who landed on Utah Beach, and relieved the paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne who fell from the sky on top of the crossroads village of Sainte-Mère Église, making it the first place in France liberated by the US Army.
The flag was made by the French resistance, and it was carried to the end of the war by the US Army.
I will never know its full story, but I do not need to in order to appreciate its glory, which is resplendent.
It is the most beautiful object I have ever possessed.
I purchased this flag, but I have never felt ownership of it.
How could I?
I have been a custodian of the flag.
I have been a trustee of the flag, which has been passed down to a school, so that the next generation can ponder the sacrifices of the past, while contemplating the work left undone.
The beauty of this flag and its meaning will never be dimmed by a miscreant in the White House. Ever.
Things that are easily taken are not easily restored.
I have written almost 2,700 warnings over the last three years.
The fact that they went unheeded does not make them wrong, nor does it make me despise the American flag.
I refuse to be angry at my country over Donald Trump.
I will save my anger for Donald Trump and his gangsters, who will try to take what doesn’t belong to them, and desecrate what was sanctified by blood, sacrifice and courage.
I will save my pity for the easily conned and manipulated who fell for the MAGA lies because no one gave them anything better to believe in.
I will save my scorn for the broken promises that led to Trump’s restoration, and the feebleness of effort by a small group of Washington, DC, insiders who put their power, privileges and gaslighting ahead of the interests of the American people. They abetted the coming disaster with their epic selfishness.
I will continue to love my country and honor the American flag.
There is nothing that can break that faith.
Ever.
I hope that all of you will maintain your faith.
I hope that all of you will maintain your dignity.
What type of person could ever allow Donald Trump to hijack their patriotism or love of country?
Truly.
How weak, feckless and pitiful would you have to be?
The Warning is a place where the American faith is celebrated, and it will be until ”the last dog dies.”
My friends, buck up.
Straighten up.
Stiffen up.
Buck up
After all, you are an American.
We are tough, not soft, people.
A great fight has come our way and waging it is a noble undertaking. There is no cause more worthy and no purpose greater than helping defend the American Republic.
Remember what JFK said:
Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.
Let me make a final point to those who lament that they have no more to give, and can barely manage the strength to turn on the news, or open a news link.
Stop it.
Nothing is ever over in America, which means that the fight many have decided is over has in fact not yet begun.
Donald Trump has stormed the castle and raised his flag.
Now, he must defend it.
I look forward to the moment that will come after the disaster.
Like always, the spring follows winter.
The American flag has been abused before.
She has always prevailed.
I have no doubt whatsoever that our nation’s greatest days are ahead.
First, we have some trouble to make.
What type?
Good trouble.
I love this ad, which was created by The Save America Movement team. It is dedicated to the people of Minnesota.
Soon it will be on TV there.
I hope it moves you.

Get inside Trump’s head with the No MAGA collection at The Warning store
Ford employee TJ Sabula was suspended earlier this week for calling Trump a pedophile protector. The vile, no-class president responded with a “f*ck you” and a middle finger. As much as the Trump regime wants to distract from the Epstein files, he can’t escape them. Remind him — and his MAGA minions — of exactly who he is with these items:
Keeping the faith is easier said than done. Over time, people get worn down…not by one dramatic moment, but by the slow grind of disappointment, the sense that nothing changes fast enough, and the feeling that the world keeps asking more of us than it gives back.
Hope doesn’t vanish all at once; it erodes, quietly, until even the most resilient people start to wonder what the point is.
That’s the pessimistic truth.
And yet…the story never ends there. Because even when institutions fail, people don’t.
Humans have an astonishing capacity to rebuild meaning out of wreckage, to find each other in the dark, and to create small pockets of decency that eventually become something larger.
History is full of moments where everything looked finished, and then ordinary people refused to let the worst version of the world be the final one.
Hope isn’t a feeling; it’s a practice. And humanity, for all its failures, keeps proving that it’s capable of choosing something better than despair.
