Although the 'official' flag has only been in use since the '50s.

This is the best flag there's ever been.

The Google stats I posted seemed to indicate this is being questioned by lots of folks.

Over 5 1/2 Million hits? That's a lot of questioning followers.

I watched the whole rally on Friday and saw no flags with black stars. From what I understand it is a one time visual warning not something that will be repeated.

Uh, but a lot of the military is opposed to Trump's nationalism, so that might be a hard sell.

Vylo, I can't stand your avatar. I was so happy when you changed it and now you've gone back to it. Eeeeeeeeew

Warning about what?

Looks like a flag desecration for esoteric political purposes to me.

Doesn’t mean they questioning the flag but probably, like me, trying to figure out what others are making a fuss over. My search result was a complete bust. No one is talking about it, well other than this thread as far I as I can tell.

Do you have stats on how many searches are being done? The results are very different and do not really reflect the number of people asking the question.

Anyone catch the Trump MAGA rally in Youngstown Ohio on Saturday?

If so, did you notice the flag in the tent covering where he comes out?

This was from a recent rally, see the flag in the background?

You can see the white stars, right?

Now this is from the rally last Saturday.

So where are the stars? Why are they blacked out?

Also notice that in the first picture the light is on the flag from the front and the stars can be seen. On the second photo it is backlit and the blue can be seen but the stars look like as if they were tucked in almost like fancy upholstery and only the blue background is showing.

Looks like it’s just an artifact from the lighting not showing up well on camera.

Saved them from having to spend their holidays there.

He also forced a government shutdown over the issue which meant military members (as well as any non essential government employees) being either furloughed or going without pay for a few weeks.

He decided what had to be done... I'd say someone else was responsible for these issues.

Then I’d have to assume it was just a coincidence.

What had to be done was hardworking people going without pay because of a capricious man-baby not getting his way while he tried to circumvent congress to fund his pet project. If I remember correctly, he only let up because Pelosi threatened to skip his State of the Union speech. Otherwise they’d have gone even longer without pay.

Thank goodness that’s all behind us now.

What backward flag are you asking about?
Black stitching, do you mean the stars?

It looks like I must have either misunderstood the previous post or I replied to the wrong post.

And the wide-open unsecured border situation is getting worse by the day, just like he said it would. The military may be spending holidays there yet if border states keep spreading the love to the left; Martha's Vineyard has already put them to work for only 50.

Just rereading this (which I don't get now with the same search) it makes me wonder about the highlighted parts.

Found some more tidbits with a deeper search.

Just some interpretations floating around.

Yes, that was kind of my point. Search results on those words do not give you the number of times people searched for it so it is incorrect to say 5 Million results mean it has come to a lot of peoples attention.

OK, so where would you look to find that string searched for?
