Despite a long-standing court ruling that flag burning is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order punishing those who burn the nation’s flag with a year in prison.
The order, which was signed on Monday, acknowledges a 1989 Supreme Court ruling that declared flag burning a free speech expression but asserts that it “could incite immediate lawless action”.
As Trump signed the order, Trump said, “If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail, no early exits, no nothing.”
He continued, “You get one year in jail, and it goes on your record, and you will immediately see flag burning stop.”
Free speech organizations have criticized the action because Trump wants to establish a system with few restrictions and a vision of executive power.
The Free Speech Campaigners FIRE stated in a statement that “President Trump may believe he has the power to revise the First Amendment with the stroke of a pen.”
Even though many Americans, including the president, find protected expressive activity to be “uniquely offensive and provocative,” the government can’t prosecute it, it continued.
Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordered to prosecute those responsible for flag burning “to the full extent possible” by the executive order on Monday.
Without any supporting evidence, the order asserts that foreigners burn flags to threaten and intimidate Americans. Additionally, the order threatens deportation, deportation, and more for foreign nationals who do so.
According to the order, burning flags amounts to “incitement” or “fighting words,” with Trump claiming that burning flags “incites riots at levels we’ve never seen before.”
This claim has been refuted by legal experts because there is no supporting supporting evidence.
A night of drama on Tyneside between Newcastle United and Liverpool featured every classic character that characterizes the Premier League’s new rivalry.
Alexander Isak, the rebel striker for Newcastle, was not even there for an adrenaline-fueled episode between the club’s desire to keep him and the Premier League champions’ desire to add him to their star-studded attacking cast.
Who knows what Isak would have made of a game that was mediocre but jam-packed with almost everything else, and Rio Ngumoha, who scored the only goal in Liverpool’s history in the 110th minute, was the youngest ever scorer at 16 years and 361 days.
Instead of being based on classic football, it was a sensational evening, driven by the emotions generated by what is now assuming everything from a long-running, classic feud.
It follows some of the team’s earlier classics, not the least of which were Liverpool’s two memorable 4-3 victories in 1996 and 1997. The rivalry is well and truly over.
the bare necessities first.
Liverpool had a 2-0 lead in the opening 30 seconds of the second-half restart, but Newcastle looked unlucky as a result as Bruno Guimaraes and Will Osula equalized through substitute goalkeeper Bruno Guimaraes and striker Will Osula.

The Isak saga, which has spanned the Newcastle end, has sparked more unrest, particularly as a result of how the Swedish striker has appeared to be terminally unsettling by Liverpool, who have indicated they would bid £120 million (nearly his £150 million valuation), before being offered a “paltry” £110 million.
Liverpool’s move to a top-flight Newcastle transfer target, Hugo Ekitike, from Eintracht Frankfurt, added even more spice.
With Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan making his presence felt in town, the list of subplots would have provided an intriguing backdrop for what are typically pre-game boardroom pleasantries.
Even before the game even started, there was a sense of naked retribution inside St James’ Park after they defeated Liverpool in the most recent event in history when they won the Carabao Cup final last season.
Ekitike was a target as well, with Newcastle fans loudly jeering his name as he was read out in the dressing room.
“Get Into Them!” was displayed along a Newcastle banner. The team followed the instructions exactly as they were instructed to.
Liverpool was in the line of fire as a result of the high intensity of the emotion and fury that swept through the stadium despite their dominance of the area and possession.
The whole situation turned out to be a disaster when Liverpool won thanks to Ryan Gravenberch, who had attracted the ire of Arne Slot with some dramatic falls under challenges, launched a reckless challenge at Virgil van Dijk.
Referee Simon Hooper consulted the screen as the volume increased, but the outcome was a formal conversation. St. James’ Park’s atmosphere became even more gloomy.
Despite the fact that Liverpool appeared to be rabbits in the headlights at the slightest hint of pressure, Gordon’s tackle demonstrated how uncontrollable Newcastle were emotionally.
The script is also bolstered by the England international’s upcoming three-game suspension.
Howe can consider selling when resources are now so exhausted because he was being used as an outcast in an emergency striker with Isak?

Liverpool’s interest in Isak will continue to faze fans until the transfer window closes and probably afterward.
Newcastle’s supporters were unable to accept or forget how their star striker had betrayed them and the club he blamed for his decision to leave.
Due to the uncertainty surrounding the conclusion of the story that led to the antagonism, this is now shaping up to be a conflict for the ages.
Liverpool’s fans adored how their rage against the Toon Army, chanting “Hand Him Over Newcastle,” was met with a wave of applause.
Newcastle must find a way to overcome their fences, which are nearly impossible to repair with Isak. He must not be the spectre that hangs over every game.
The other important takeaway from this evidence is that Liverpool should concentrate on signing a defender, presumably Marc Guehi, before making a final decision regarding Isak.
In their first game of the season at Anfield, Liverpool gave up a 2-0 lead before winning late on, looking horribly vulnerable in defense in the process.
They were flattered by the advantages they had gained from them because they regularly piled up mistakes and carelessly gave up possession.
Slot should be very concerned about how Newcastle’s 10 men shattered them so severely. In fact, Newcastle appeared to be the preferred target before Ngumoha’s strike.
Apart from the fact that they are still winning games, Liverpool have appeared nothing like the team that strolled to the Premier League last year with such poise and assurity in just two games.
The player who faces the greatest threat from Guehi’s potential arrival and who has not yet agreed to a new deal, Ibrahima Konate, was equally uneasy as he was against Bournemouth. With 10 minutes left, Slot also hasn’t yet discovered the tweak to allow him to utilize £116m attacker Florian Wirtz.
Milos Kerkez is still settling in, but Slot may be considering replacing the experienced Andrew Robertson, who has the demonstrated quality and greater understanding with his defensive teammates.
Newcastle will be trying to put an end to the Isak impasse by nursing their wounds as a result of this loss.
Myleene Klass, the star of I’m A Celebrity, shared a story about her life as a person of Filipino descent and how she’s been affected by ‘ignorant’ comments.

I’m A Celebrity star Myleene Klass has told fans that she’s faced “ignorant” comments and racism over her Filipino heritage. She’s spoken about her experience and recalled an incident that she said happened amid celebrations over her MBE.
Myleene, 47, was awarded an MBE by King Charles at Windsor Castle just last month for services to women’s health, miscarriage awareness and charity. The musician said at the time that she was “utterly overjoyed and humbled” to receive the award from the monarch.
The musician, whose mother Magdalena is from the Philippines, referenced the honour whilst writing about having Filipino heritage in a post on Instagram on Monday. It came in response to someone who reacted to a previous post about her having performed at pal Nick Ferrari’s wedding last week.
When the troll wrote to her, “You look so much like my maid when I was a Brazilian. Any woman who has money can be presentable, which is interesting. Bravo”! Then, in two separate posts, Myleene responded.

Myleene appeared to be reflecting on previous events in her life before writing in the first post: “This was said to me at Westminster. Dinner for Bankers in the City. at the entrance to the classroom. You resemble my Filipino cleaner, I suppose. My maid . My nanny. ‘”
“All honorable jobs,” she continued. However, this connection is the only one that has ever been made. I’m from Philippines. I’m also liminal. We are frequently only seen through that lens because our “in” to many nations has historically been through acts of service. That’s why it’s important to have a positive disruptor and represent yourself.
You limit and define me before I can define myself, but when you assume your role because of my race, you do more than just make an ignorant comment. That qualifies as racism. It is treacherous. I’m proud to enter the Palace, Parliament, boardrooms, and business meetings because of it.

Not as someone’s stereotype of a “good Asian girl” or a fetishized trope, Myleene continued to tell her followers. But as a self, I’m occupying space that no longer belongs to me and making sure my children see that as well.
She concluded by highlighting the value of representation. Representation is not symbolic; it is survival and how we break the cycle so that our children don’t have to conform to the narrow roles that society has assigned them.
The message that Myleene had received in a second post on her Instagram Story was then changed. She claimed that while discussing her MBE, someone who she identified as “a white cis male” shared a “contrarian” comment with her.
Myleene later said that she had experienced a ‘worrying’ incident whilst celebrating her MBE(Image: Myleene Klass/Instagram)
WCM: You should move into the Palace at this rate, she wrote in the follow-up post posted on Monday. Me: “Because I spend a lot of time there these days,” I ask? WCM: “No, because every Kensington home has a Filipino accent.”
Myleene continued, “This was said to be by a white cis man at a work gathering for a cheap laugh when my MBE was being discussed and celebrated. The worrying aspect of this joke is that it was the WCM’s idea of a joke, which is also why I’m so proud of the positive change and representation I continued to evoke with my voice and work, as well as by being “a little brown” (yeah had that too).

Natalie Cassidy, a former EastEnders star, claims that the fitness DVDs she purchased when she was younger were mistaken.

Natalie Cassidy says she is no longer concerned about her weight and that she regrets making a fitness DVD.
The former EastEnders actor and podcast host fronted a ‘Then & Now’ workout DVD in December 2007 where she said she lost 2.5 stone thanks to the exercises she did on screen. She later made a ‘perfect ten’ one in 2013 too.
But looking back, Natalie told Radio Times: “The DVD wasn’t a good move for me – I did it for the money. I’m now 42, and to be honest, I could be doing a bit more exercise at the moment, but I just can’t be bothered. I think, ‘If this is the size I’m meant to be, then I need to be happy with that.’
I avoid eating too much. My food is delicious. A glass of wine is what I enjoy. You can’t have crisps every day, but I do. I believe everything to be moderate. My days aren’t as good if I choose to lose a lot of weight.
Natalie is currently on screen in ITV series Cooking With The Stars and also fronts her own podcast series.
She has now left EastEnders having played Sonia Fowler since 1993. But despite playing the role for so long, she insists it wasn’t a hard call to make.
It was a very natural choice, she said.
“Sometimes when you’re in something, you think that’s all there is, so when I had a break from EastEnders last year, I did The Masked Singer and a doc for Channel 4 [What’s the Big Deal: Britain’s Best Buys?].
You’ll never know what’s out there, they say. I therefore intended to observe Sonia and see what else is happening.
Happy Days, Natalie’s autobiography, is set to be released in October and will “enter her readers on a journey through the highs and lows and the changing seasons of life.” Additionally, she wants to work on television more.
She continued, “I’m really enjoying being myself, but I’m really looking forward to having a gritty or funny role.”
After moving away from London, Natalie and Marc Humphreys, a cameraman, have two daughters who adore living in the countryside.
