Blind 92-Year-Old Iwo Jima Veteran Attacked After Confronting Thugs Vandalizing Flag At His Home

Rather than being treated like the American Hero he is, 92-year-old blind World War II veteran Howard Banks was attacked for defending the U.S. flag on his property.

Police are on the hunt for the unpatriotic thugs.

CBS News reports:

World War II veteran Howard Banks is legally blind, but his memory is sharp at age 92.

A day before his birthday on July 11, the veteran said he heard someone outside his home pulling down his American flag from its pole, so he went outside to investigate.

“I walked out, hanging onto the railing and stepped down. That must’ve startled them,” said Banks.

Banks was determined to protect his flag after someone shredded his previous American flag and ripped up his Marine flag about a year ago.

Police are seeking information on who pushed down an elderly veteran as he was protecting his American flag that’s been targeted before.

“They could see me. I couldn’t see them,” said Banks. “I turned and looked in the other direction, and about then – ‘wham!’ They knocked me down.”

The person trying to take the flag down ran off while neighbors rushed in to help Banks.

Banks has numerous bumps and bruises and he said he even twisted his knee. “On this forearm, it’s kind of sore and rough,” he said. “Both of them. I’ve still got soreness here, but I’m durable. I can take it. The veteran said that he would like to decide the judgment if the suspects were caught, “If there’s any way to catch them and was able to do so, I’d like to whoop them good with my crutch.”

Banks said that it is his life’s mission, “to honor veterans who sacrifice and serve.”

“I think we all had that same feeling, that that flag was our identity. We were Americans, The fact that I’m getting older, and the less I can do, at least I can still do that.”

Is there any doubt that the coward who attacks a 92 year old blind veteran and tears down his flag is a leftist snowflake? None! This is what the left's hatred for our country has become. This hero is what made America great. Mr. Banks sir, I sincerely thank you for your service to our country. Please know that true Americans send you well wishes and hope the thugs are brought to justice.

De Blasio Ordered Police to Clear Homeless Out of Subways Before His Ride

Via Free Beacon:

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio ordered the police to clear out homeless people from two subway stations ahead of his four-stop press event on Sunday so that the stations “looked nice,” according to a new report.

Law enforcement sources told the New York Post that the police had until 11 a.m. on Sunday to eject those who were “hanging out” at the Fourth Avenue/Ninth Street and Jay Street/MetroTech F train stations.

Another source put it this way: de Blasio’s office let the police know ahead of time about his schedule “with the expectation that the subway stations would be free and clear of homeless people.”

De Blasio’s trip from his Park Slope gym to his new campaign office in Brooklyn was part of a publicity stunt to call out New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D.) regarding funding for the city’s transportation system, the Post reported.

So Kaiser Wilhelm has the police. whom he despises and criticizes the rest of the time, clear the homeless from these stations so he can go blame other people for the subway problems without the embarrassment of the homeless which can be blamed on his policies. Classic Democratic leftist move. No surprise here. What a two-faced miserable POS. Socialism at it's finest right? Socialist practices produce broken down and dangerous subways, homelessness and poverty which hurts the mayors political optics so the solution is to remove the homeless and beggars in order to portray how wonderful and safe the subway system is right? Love it! Vote for a douche bag, get a douche bag! I am really enjoying watching this elitist douche bag implode. He just can't get out of his own way. Thumbs up NYC!

Idiot Democrat Senator DICK Durbin: Trump’s Vote Fraud Commission is ‘What Vladimir Putin Wants’

From GWP: 

Senator Dick Durbin (D-Il) attacked President Trump’s vote fraud commission on Sunday claiming that asking voters for valid I.D. discredits our Democratic process which is exactly what Vladimir Putin wants…in case you were on the fence of whether liberalism is a mental disorder or not, this should convince you.

This the Number 2 idiot behind behind Smuckey Schumer? Democrats really have a "deep bench, don't they? Little Dickie "Turbin" Durban and his fellow mental midget leftist democrats know that if voter ID laws are enforced and followed, that his party will be irrelevant. We all know Democrats rely upon voter fraud to win. The best I can say about DICK Durban is that his first name is entirely accurate. Beyond that he is absent of logic, thought or reason. Just the credentials needed for success in the democrat party. 

Note to DICK Durbin, Illinois is on to you and your ilk! There's a reason Illinois is going bankrupt!
Because of twits like Durbin, the state is broke. So having driven Illinois into the ground via their democrat schemes, they want to F***K the rest of the country over? If Illinois would clean up their voter roles by eliminating illegal aliens, non-citizens, dead people, felons, multiple registered voters, etc., Illinois would become a red state. People like DICK Durbin and the other Illinois Demorat crooks would be out of a job. And associating our corrupt illegal voting system with Russia shows the mentality of the Dimwit Demorats! MAGA!!!
