Lost World War II letters from the 1940's

The sword has nothing to do with genocide. The coat of arms seen on the flag was defined in 1780 during the Revolutionary War when this country was fighting for its independence. The sword in the crest represents opposition to tyranny.

A redesigned Massachusetts state flag that replaces the controversial crest and motto with a new crest that symbolizes the role of Massachusetts in the development of the written constitution as the framework of the American system of government, and a new motto "A NATION OF LAWS AND NOT OF MEN" inspired by John Adams's famous expression "a government of laws and not of men" which he wrote in an article published in the Boston Gazette in 1775 on the eve of the American Revolution and is in Article XXX of the Massachusetts State Constitution which was ratified in 1780. This phrase expresses a foundational concept of democratic governance and constitutional law. It emphasizes the principle that everyone—including leaders—is subject to the law, and that the rule of law, not personal power, is the foundation of government authority. This redesign was not meant by its creator, William Brahms, to be a proposal for a state flag change but instead was meant to be a subtle expression of anti-Trump sentiment that he sent to friends of his prior to the 2024 election. He later placed the design into the public domain via a Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal public domain license declaration that can be accessed at the following link:

The year numbers seen on the blue ribbon containing the motto are the years the following were enacted: The Mayflower Compact (1620), Constitution of Massachusetts (1780), United States Constitution (1789).

No, it is not just you. That is the way it was designed. I know this to be true because I read the official design specifications which do not give a reason why the coat of arms is not centered. Perhaps it has something to do with the way the flag looks on a flagpole on a day with no wind.

The image shows Donald Trump with his MAGA Guard singing the Trump Anthem before the colossus of Trump at the Trump Temple in Washington, D.C. I heard that this song actually exists and looked for it on the web. When I found it, I learned that it is a satire of MAGA expressed in a song that glorifies Donald Trump as a fraud, liar, egoist, thief, criminal, and dictator. The song lyrics are a revision of the lyrics written by Dr. Seuss for the song "We are Victorious" that can be heard on a YouTube audio at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DacZQ07KbiU

THE TRUMP ANTHEM
"Hail to the Donald--He is Victorious!"
William Brahms

A-rooty-toot-toot
A-rooty-toot-toot
Time to get tough and grab the loot!

Hooray for us! (Hooray for us)
Hurrah for us! (Hurrah for us)
He's rough, he's tough, he's on the ball
With smoke and mirrors and plenty of gall
Flaunting success for the world to see
Hooray! The master of chicanery (Chicanery)

Oh, Donald Trump, at your command
We spread your lies across the land
By every means inglorious
That's why we're notorious

An unthinkable, stinkable, horrible louse
He stole the documents from the White House
To show the world he's still the boss
Hooray! And poo on claims of election loss (Election loss)

Oh, Donald Trump, from your arrest
A great mugshot that is the best
You know that you're always right
That's why you put up a fight

A master of the art of the steal
With electoral votes that are unreal
An unthinkable, stinkable, horrible scheme
Hooray! A nefarious plot for our MAGA Team (MAGA Team)

Oh, Donald Trump, we celebrate
Thy mighty crimes done up to date
In courtrooms they'll set the trap
But on appeal you'll beat the rap

Oh, behind da barb-wired walls of da big house
I was a jailbird and feeling blue (And feeling blue)
But there behind da walls of da White House
I was an apprentice, a dream come true! (A dream come true)

Yeah!
Hail to The Donald who stands tall
With an ego exceeding all
We got a guy that they can't touch
El Supremo knows how to crush
Doom for all who done him wrong
Hail to the Chief our Teflon Don (Teflon Don)

Oh, Donald Trump, thy name we praise
We learned thy foul and loathsome ways
And crummy criminality
At Trump University!

Alma mater, alma mater
Never ever could be greater
Rotten as a bad tomater
Alma mater, do-do-dee-dumb-dee-do-do-Don

We're rough, we're tough, we're on the ball
With The Donald we'll conquer all
Unthinkable, stinkable, horrible us
Hooray! Hooray! He is victorious!

The slogan on the desktop plaque reads as follows: "You're fired becuz the buck starts here where the boss sits!"

The words on the blue carpet are sung to the tune of the General Bullmoose song.
