DELANO — Come the third week of May, a rainbow flag will not be flown before Delano’s City Hall anymore, per a 3-1 vote Monday night. The Delano City Council rescinded the 2021 resolution to display the LGBTQ pride flag, which was raised the past few springs to promote a welcoming and safe space for LGBTQ Californians. This vote makes Delano the second California city to take down the flag, after Huntington Beach, which unanimously voted it down last month.

Had something like the Committee on Election Integrity been around during Mussolini’s time, it could have used Lean Six Sigma to quantitatively determine he was the greatest thing since rustic Italian bread. Over two decades, he reduced voter fraud to zero simply by canceling elections. And the trains ran on time. Garbage in, garbage out.
