MAN FACES PRISON OVER TRUMP FLAG

Joseph Hornick of West Long Branch, New Jersey, faces a $2,000 fine or 90 days in jail for flying a flag emblazoned with Donald Trump’s name over his home. The flag violates an ordinance prohibiting the display of political signs more than 30 days ahead of an election. New Jersey’s primary is on June 7. For weeks, Hornick has displayed the blue flag with Trump’s “Make America Great Again!” campaign slogan on a pole outside his two-story house, in a show of his support for Trump. Despite being issued a summons for the violation, Hornick apparently intends to keep it up. “The fine can be in the millions of dollars! That flag will never come down!” he wrote in a defiant Facebook post.
* He’s a regular Iwo Jima, ain’t he.
* So much for “running it up the flagpole to see what happens.”
* The brilliant political move here would be: Trump holds a press conference and gives the guy the $2,000.
* A defiant Facebook page? Ooo, I bet our soldiers at Normandy would be impressed with that.
* The man is standing up to fight or at least sitting down at his computer.
* Hello? It’s West Long Branch, New Jersey. Not Tall Flagpole, New Jersey.
* There is some legal precedent here: Trump sued to fly a big flag down in Florida.
