FIRST FLAG

Have you heard about the latest insane atrocity committed by the left-wing, hate-America, globalist "artistes"?

They have made a movie about the first moon landing starring a glut of unknowns, with the title "FIRST MAN"  and they are hustling it as an absolute "lock" for the Cannes Palme d'Or, the Golden Globe and the Oscar.

It's based on Neil Armstrong's  role as the first human to set foot on the moon.

But, instead of a military hero, a patriot with humility to share honor with hundreds of thousands of Americans (not to mention millions of taxpayers)  who made the achievement possible.. Armstrong is reincarnated as a social justice warrior "before his time".

There is NO  SCENE in the film of Armstrong planning the American flag on the moon.

As it happens, my late wife Betts and I were in a hotel restaurant in Oban, Scotland that July when the lander touched down on our natural lunar satellite.

We had some friends there and there were nearly 100 Brits and Scots  watching the landing on a larger than usual television set arranged for the entire dining room to see.

You will have to imagine, because I cannot faithfully express my feelings then. I had chill bumps, I wept, I hugged Betts and I really wanted to dance a jig.

But we were overwhelmed by the dining room crowd with I-don't-know-how-many toasts, how many "GOOD SHOW!" congratulations and how many unbridled and enthusiastic cheers we had from those usually stoic and unemotional folk.

But echoing Buzz Aldrin and General Chuck Yeager, I would like to plead that you stand with me and remember that it was not a UN flag, it was not a North Atlantic Treaty alliance flag... But Old Glory--- the Stars and Stripes first sewn by Betsy Ross in the 18th century, and flown over Fort McHenry in the 19th century when our national anthem was composed with this flag as its theme.

Also, as Chuck Yeager said regarding all this... "That is NOT the Neil Armstrong that  I knew!"  Aldrin "commented" on the film with a T-shirt that showed his comrade Armstrong planning the flag.

I trust that this attempt to demean... Nay, to ERASE the fact that the United States fulfilled John Fitzgerald Kennedy's prediction that we would reach the moon before 1970, will die aborning as multitudes doom the fraudulent film.

Insulting America with untrue news reporting is hideous enough to sicken a population. A venal attempt to rewrite History like a third-rate Soviet hack is criminal.
