Young sailors have never heard the term Irish pennant (IP) and tacking on crows is not tolerated. There is no Chief's initiation. When requesting help with temperature checks when this COVID mess started the guard in our building told the CMC of one of the tenant commands that she could really use some help between 0600 - 0900 in the mornings. His response was that "their work day doesn't start until 0800". There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

I just heard on the radio that a man was charged with rape, murder and gender bias.

Robert E. Lee statue comes down.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStor...e-79888014 Good. I never saw the sense in erecting statues to honor those who led a war to tear this country asunder for an inhuman cause.

Lee is probably one of the exceptions for me. Especially in Virginia. He played a vital role in the recovery of our nation after the Civil War.

That may be, but I don't think that was the motivation for erecting the statues in the first place. Statues of Lee need to come down.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
It depends on when the statues were erected. Some were erected after he died. Some were erected in the 60's. To each their own. I get why people want the statues to come down, but I think there are exceptions. But, hey, why do we need nuance?
Just when I though that the current regime couldn't possibly be more bizarre and out of touch...

The Black National Anthem.. Being played and sung by Florida A&M choir before tonight's football game..
I immediately turned the channel and I'll turn the football game back on in about 5 minutes.. Get the [BLEEP] outta here with that garbage..
How can we be united if we're not first divided? Think about it. Liberal logic.
They didn’t show anyone taking a knee, probably cuz they were honoring 9/11.
What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is agoin' on here???

He has said many dumb things, but I agree with this one:
"But guess what? It’s already back other places. What’s the strategy? Every place where al Qaeda is, we’re going to invade and have troops stay in? Come on."
From the files of "Tone Deaf Dumb [BLEEP]" comes this story:
https://thelibertydaily.com/socialist-ao...000-a-pop/ FTA: The left usually understands optics. They play the optics game far better than the right. But every now and then, their egos get the better of them and they end up making the worst possible optics moves imaginable. Case-in-point: Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attending the Met Gala with a dress that reads “Tax The Rich.” Of course, you won’t see any poor or homeless people in attendance. You won’t see many middle-class people for that matter unless they’re with the press or invited by a rich friend. The tickets to get into the exclusive event are $30,000 each. ![]() “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
