LINCOLN — Gov. Jim Pillen ordered U.S. flags at the Nebraska Capitol and other state-owned buildings to be raised to full staff for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on Monday.

The flags were supposed to fly at half-staff through the end of January after the death of former President Jimmy Carter.

Carter died Dec. 29 at the age of 100.

In a statement, Pillen said flags will be raised to full staff from sunrise until sunset on Inauguration Day, before returning to half-staff Tuesday, where they will remain through Jan. 28.

I guess there isn't a whole lot we can do about it, but we can certainly make them OWN IT. Own it again and again and again and again. Don't let stuff like this go anymore. Beat them with it until they are bloody, along with everything else that they do.

It's what they constantly do to us, so they need it back two-fold. Fight fire with fire.
