Sen. Bernie Moreno, a legal immigrant from Colombia turned successful Ohio businessman, dropped a legislative bombshell this week. His two-page bill aims to ban foreign flags from flying on U.S. Capitol grounds, a direct shot at displays like Ukraine’s that have irked conservatives. He told reporters it’s about loyalty to America, not foreign nations.

Moreno’s no stranger to Trump’s orbit. Elected last year with the President’s backing, he’s been a fierce ally, voting for every Trump nominee and pushing his agenda hard. “When I came to this country as a child, I swore allegiance to America and America alone,” Moreno said, slamming elected officials who hoist foreign banners in Congress.

The timing’s no coincidence. Last week’s Oval Office blowup saw Trump boot Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after an unhinged rant against him and Vice President J.D. Vance. Zelensky’s outburst delayed a U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal, prompting Trump to halt military aid and intelligence sharing—moves Moreno backs as putting Americans first.

Moreno’s bill reflects that grit. “We swore an oath to the American people we would always put them first—let’s start acting like it,” he declared, decrying billions sent overseas while citizens struggle. Conservatives see foreign flags as symbols of that misplaced priority, and Moreno’s legislation aims to rip them down for good.

Trump’s Tuesday night address to Congress tied it all together. He recounted Zelensky’s regret, sharing a letter where the Ukrainian leader wrote, “We do really value how much America has done,” and signaled readiness to sign the stalled deal. Moreno’s flag ban amplifies Trump’s push to refocus on America’s needs.

The Senator’s personal story fuels his fire. Arriving from Colombia as a kid, he built a luxury car dealership empire before storming the Senate. “The American people gave him the mandate,” Moreno said of Trump last year, vowing to be his fiercest champion—a promise he’s keeping with this bill.

Democrats and some establishment Republicans won’t like it. They’ve rallied for Ukraine post-Zelensky clash, waving its flag as a cause. Moreno’s move calls their bluff—why prioritize foreign symbols over the Stars and Stripes when America’s hurting?

The bill’s short but sharp. It prohibits any foreign flag on Capitol grounds, no exceptions. Posts on X show conservatives cheering, with some calling it “about damn time” to ditch the globalist flair. Moreno’s betting it’ll pass with Trump’s GOP muscle behind him.

Republicans see this as more than symbolism. It’s a line in the sand—America’s Capitol should reflect America’s interests, not Kyiv’s or anyone else’s. Moreno’s legislation aligns with Trump’s tariffs and efficiency cuts, a full-court press to reclaim national pride.

The heartland’s watching. Moreno’s bill isn’t just a rule change—it’s a statement: no more bending the knee to foreign agendas. Conservatives say it’s time to fly one flag, and Trump’s crew is ready to make it law.
