Snake Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Bed and breakfast Nordic Pineapple in Saint Johns has removed their Norwegian flag after dozens of people confuse it for the Confederate flag. Greg and Kjersten Offbecker moved into the historic mansion two years ago and turned it into a bed and breakfast. As decoration, they hung a Norwegian flag next to the American flag at the front entrance of the inn, but dozens of guests and people driving by have accused the couple of flying a Confederate flag. “They are the same color, but there are no stars on the Norwegian flag, and the Confederate flag is a big ‘x’ and the Norwegian flag is part of the Nordic countries, they’re all crosses,” Offbecker said. Last week, the couple decided to remove the flag as they were updating their marketing materials. “We started to have this concern that it was deterring people away from coming to our bed and breakfast,” Offbecker said. “That they would see it and make this judgement.” Offbecker said she was trying to represent her heritage, but it’s not worth the frustration. She said they have received cruel emails and phone calls over the confusion of the flag. “What we’re getting is so much more negative now,” she said. “It’s not just, ‘hey you’re flying the Confederate flag.’ It’s, ‘you should be ashamed to fly the Confederate flag. You’re a bigot because you fly the Confederate flag.‘” Some people are even convinced the home was built by Confederate leaders. In fact, it was built by union workers for the daughter of the Saint Johns founder. The couple is trying to find a new way to hang their flag without getting complaints. https://www.wilx.com/2020/07/28/norwegian-flag-removed-from-saint-johns-bed-and-breakfast-over-confederate-flag-confusion/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 The Lincoln Project, a group of professional “Republican” political consultant malcontents, is attempting to elect a Democrat to the U.S. Senate from Montana and flip the majority to Chuck Schumer. The “Republican” group is hoping to defeat Republican Sen. Steve Daines in November, and the race is currently rated a “toss-up” by The Cook Political Report. The ad features a voice-over with the quintessential western voice along with images of rolling plains and galloping bison. As the voice-over says, “We’re known for our independence, our open spaces, and our strength,” the attached footage is implied to be from Montana. However, the footage used by the D.C.-based firm is actually from South Dakota. The close-up of one bison can be found on Pond 5, a stock footage website. A simple search of “bison” yields several results, but the first one is the same as appears in the “Montana” ad. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/07/29/montana-lincoln-project-senate-ad-south-dakota-park/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
