Flags in New York's Nassau County not lowered to half-staff following Jimmy Carter's death
A Republican county official on Long Island who had refused to lower flags to half-staff following the death of former President Jimmy Carter has changed his mind.
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.

I call it an asshole competition. Basically a measurement contest to see who is the biggest. I don't know why anyone in their right mind would want to be in such a contest, but that's me.
