Summary

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican, has not lowered flags to half-staff at county buildings following former President Jimmy Carter’s death, despite President Biden’s federal order for a 30-day observance.

Blakeman has not provided a reason, drawing criticism from Democratic officials, including legislator Seth Koslow, who called the decision partisan and disrespectful.

Carter, who died at 100 on December 29, will lie in state January 7-9 before a state funeral on January 9.

    They’ve all gone mask off.

    Gotta love watching the last remaining vestiges of our Republic fall apart in real time.

      It’s not falling apart. It’s being dismantled. Don’t confuse the two.
