A think piece on where Iran is right now - in military transition, with aging leadership, and a restive population:

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Army and Navy academies are looking into hand signs flashed by students that can be associated with “white power" and were televised during the Army-Navy football game on Saturday, school officials said.

Cadets at West Point and midshipmen at the Naval Academy in the stands both appeared to display the sign during the broadcast, officials with the two military academies told The Wall Street Journal. The gesture was seen during an ESPN broadcast segment...

Pretty dumb way to throw away your degree and military career. You can see at least two gloved hands and two ungloved hands by each academy in this clip:

The Blue Check social media syndicate has declared the "OK" symbol i.e. Circle Game, as racist and white supremacist.

I think CID was saying he doesn't get why you'd risk your free education and career over a cheap laugh.

I think the whole "OK" thing is stupid too (I started a whole thread on it), but you have to know not to do that on TV. WTF?

I didn't get what they were doing wrong but then I remembered that somehow the ok symbol has been made into some kind of white power gesture.

That said, it looks to me like they're doing the circle game. If they knew it was being coopted as something else, then yeah it makes no sense that they would do it on TV, but then that's how absurd we've become.

Who did they get to punch?

Do you think they were really flashing white power symbols? Honest question.

I really don’t know how mainstream it is as a white power gesture, so I have no idea if they would have known or not.

Been following Twitter Drama between Young Turks host Cenk Uygur and his donk challenger running to fill Katie Hill's seat.

Dimwitted feminists are complaining about some innocuous stuff Uygur said on his show they dug up from years ago, the NYT apparently quotes something he said in an interview with David Duke that was obviously tongue-in-cheek.

Hopefully this will teach a valuable a lesson to liberal Dems like Uygur about media and identity politics, but I doubt it.

I honestly didn't know it was a white nationalist gesture until that one guy was kicked out of the baseball game. I guess we all need to check the SPLC's website from time to time to see what ordinary gestures and images have been outlawed by the PC police.

Maybe we need to ban players from wearing the number 88 or 14 on them while we're at it, because tolerance.

What does 14 mean?

Also, is 69 still cool?

"Second Amendment 'sanctuary county' movement expands as organizers take aim at new gun laws

....Effingham County State’s Attorney Bryan Kibler last month told a raucous crowd the origin story behind the “Second Amendment sanctuary county” movement, which began in Effingham and now includes 64 of the state’s 102 counties, counties in three other states, and nine more states in which counties are eyeing similar nonbinding measures. And as state legislators, emboldened by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, look at more gun-control measures, counties are looking at more ways to resist them....."

Good for the majority of Illinois (at least land mass wise). Heck, I figure Densedawg lives in one of those 64 IL counties..

93 has been seen passing out handbills in Sussex County, DE.

Meanwhile 43 VA counties have declared themselves 2nd Amendment sanctuary counties (are 95 counties in VA).

I didn’t know either until it was brought up on a thread on here a month or so ago. Might have been about the guy kicked out of the baseball game..

No shit. Bernie and Ro Khanna just pulled their endorsements. Guys like you and CID are absolutely spot on when it comes to the self imposed SJW purity tests. It’s fighting with one one hand behind your back. To be honest, I’m half glad when Democrats lose. Imagine one of the two major parties run by preachy PC robots. Oh wait you don’t have to. We already have one.

Don't worry, they are better people partly because of the values I instilled in them. I thank God every day that you hate children and don't reproduce.

I've donated my sperm to fertility clinics all over the East Coast. Made sure to make extra deposits in Delaware.

How long have fertility clinics been in truck stop bathrooms?

I honestly don't know what their intent was. That's up to their lawyers to present. The OK symbol has been a huge news topic this year, so they obviously knew the ramifications.

My original post on the last page has nothing to do with the symbol/gesture. Again, I started a whole thread on how stupid it is several weeks ago. I think the ADL and SPLC are completely full of shit. I find the whole OK controversy to be a joke, just like all the conks who jumped in and posted after I did.

My post was about the stupidity of risking your free degree and career on such a cheap laugh. You have to have better judgement there. Do we really want people with such poor awareness and judgement leading our military? I'd shitcan every one of them on general principle. It's a huge privilege to go to Annapolis and West Point. Act like it.

I guess I was wondering since I had vague knowledge about it, which I had forgotten until this thread...maybe those cadets were in the same boat? I don’t know how tuned in kids are with those kinds of things. I know for sure that my own oldest would have had no clue about it.
