For the second day in a row, Justice Samuel Alito hasn't been at the U.S. Supreme Court as judges read rulings on the final cases that remain to be decided in June.

The absence comes a little over a week after Alito and his wife were exposed for a conversation he had with a liberal activist. Both individuals agreed that the country must return to "Godliness" and that the "other side" is going to "win." According to Justice Alito, winning is essential "because there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised. They really can’t be compromised."

The comments from Alito came after he was exposed for flying an upside-down flag at his home. The flag became a symbol for Capitol rioters on Jan. 6. Another far-right Christian flag carried by the rioters was also flown at their vacation house. ...

A conservative think tank with a controversial plan for if Donald Trump wins the presidential election was under fire on Friday after flying their headquarters' flag upside down and then advertising it.

Heritage Foundation, known in part for its "Project 2025" plan to remake the government in MAGA's image, posted a photo of its upside-down flag on social media after Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in a hush money cover-up case in New York.

An investigation has been launched into a Trump 2024 flag that was hoisted on a New York post office's flagpole, according to a local report.

"A new flag flown at the Delmar Post Office Monday morning," the outlet reported Monday. "A third flag was added to the flag pole stationed outside government building: the American flag, followed by a POW flag, and finally a 2024 Donald Trump for President flag."...

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is offended that Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) — in a Raw Story exclusive — dared question the patriotism of embattled Supreme Court Justice Samual Alito and his wife.

“Let's be real, Ilhan Omar, she wasn't born in this country, she's lucky to be here, so she should be defending religious freedom,” Greene told Raw Story this week while walking from the Capitol back to her office across the street.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was exposed on Wednesday by The New York Times for having flown yet another extremist symbol, this time an "Appeal to Heaven" pine flag at his beach house — an old revolutionary symbol that in recent years has been used predominantly by the extreme Christian nationalist movement, and was also commonly flown by rioters trying to stop election certification at the Capitol on January 6.
