The numerology is interesting. I have a Blackcat standing on the number 13 tattoo on my forearm. Installed in a little village in Korea in '79, my father had the same tattoo from sometime, he was a Veteran of both Korea and Vietnam. I was told by an NCO it indicated I smoked dope, my reply was that I got it because my father had it among others and I didn't smoke dope but you know NCO's they know everything. It seems the same with the people talking about "right wing". They wouldn't know "right wing" if it jumped up and bit them. God Bless the soldiers sailors marines and airmen who will still protect our country regardless of the political climate and Chinese influence. My father passed away on 1Feb21 and he was appalled at this BS.

I say V/R to the members of this site and F/Y to the folks monitoring this site.

Unfortunately you can make any number mean anything you want.

This is just Don Quijotes chasing windmills.

A new generation of Led Zep fans might be in trouble.

I'll go out on a limb and suggest that NYPD intel and DHS had - as usual - help from the Southern Poverty Lie Center.

Adding the different crosses & the Norse imagery is just like a bunch of whimpy 'fraidy cats.

"Is Seattle really teaching that “math is racist”? Why did parents start to see ideas for math lessons that go far beyond numbers and into questions of identity?"

Well, well, you're not to far off there tonyz.....

Also comments are present discussing the proponent of that program and what a racist she is, denigrating anyone - including someone "of color" - who disagrees with her. Be interesting to see how the locals are viewing all that now over a year down the road.

Well, this is embarassing. Should've known the sludge could run south to a welcome mat in Oregon. This from 12 Feb 2021:
Quote:
The Oregon Department of Education is promoting a course for teachers that links math lessons to racism and a culture of “white supremacy.”
Full article here

All these measures are just parallel lines of effort to the same end.

Cultural appropriation may not be the dumbest idea currently trending, but its close. Wonder what they're teaching the students at Key West to signal when they come out of the water nowadays?


This is mine and that is yours. Unless its related to sexual identity. Then cultural appropriation is hurtful.

I caught a news story that the Pentagon is preparing to rename all mil bases with Confederate names to something other than a Confederate name.

Saw that this is Obamas third tour as POTUS

Strange though that under Obama DOD completely relaxed the tattoo policy.....I smelled SETUP then and wrote posts about it here.....we have got to be smarter than to keep falling for the Dems traps... this will escalate

What is wrong with hiding in plain site? I see ******* videos by these former GBs like that idiot FNG academy and others coaching ANYONE on what to expect and how to "game" the Q course??
