I'm not watching but the clips on X of the guy on the pommel horse and the upset win in women's rugby for a Bronze are good. Athletes didn't do this. The Satanists at IOC did

07/31/24: The Olympics lost me in Atlanta (I hear that Fanni Willis that year got a bronze medal in BS-Discus tossing. Then they had a Fulton County Special, "The Recount," and she was awarded the gold, instead. Funny thing is, in this category, she didn't NEED any "help.").

I quit watching years ago. However, it’s an insult to Americans that America hating, national anthem sitting LeBron James was the one selected to carry the American flag.

Back in the early 90's I worked for a company that was an Olympic sponsor and I was on the company's Olympic team setting up events, buying Olympic themed swag, and as such, spent time at the USOC HQ in Colorado Springs dealing with their folks in charge of sponsorships. The one big take away from that experience was that the USOC's (and, no doubt the IOC's) biggest concern was wringing as much money out the sponsors as they could. I was totally disillusioned by the whole experience and have, for the most part ignored the Olympics ever since. BTW, having LeBron as the U.S team flag bearer is like having Lizzo as a sponsor for Jenny Craig.

I quit watching about 3 or 4 Olympics back, when I came across a story about the phenomenal, ginormous quantity of condoms the athletes were being issued when they arrived. The article went into the heavy duty hook-up culture that now goes on behind the scenes at the Olympics. And many of the young athletes involved in the Olympics are minors. Like Don says, this is the fault of the "adults", the IOC, to basically condone and endorse this culture of flagrant sexual immorality.

The Olympics did not sink to the level of this year's "Last Supper opening" overnight-- the debauchery has been building behind the scenes for quite a while.

Don't feel bad. Men usually don't grow up until their early forties or so. I'm in my 70's and still have trouble with acting immature. Drives my wife nuts. She still thinks she can fix it.

Expand full comment

I grew up quickly but didn't get understanding until I was 55 or so. Acting responsible actually made me responsible? Being the oldest of six, I was always the one that was responsible, and if anything went wrong, they made sure I was responsible for it, so I always had a program of keeping the underlings entertained which made me a great youth pastor and youth choir director. Church leaders also use me to loosen up the stodgy set their ways music programs, always under the cover of something or other so that I wouldn't take too much fire. Lord Jesus I had too much fun. I still am. Later Gators. MAD DOG

I don’t think Trump will win. The media will lie lie lie until enough people believe that we want to turn the country into a Handmaiden’s gulag. The women are going to flock to this cankerous pathetic excuse enough to hide the steal again.

I also believe that Obama knows this is his last chance so the steal will be big: house and senate. They will complete the fundamental transformation and plunge us into chaos.

I hate this feeling. I’m very intuitive. I knew Trump would win in 2016. I could tell with all the genuine enthusiasm for him. I knew he won in 2020 for the same reason. But the left fixed it. They will fix it again because they know IF they lost control of White House and Congress, they will be hanged. They’re not going to let this happen.

Can you explain to me why it is better to vote early? “Early voting is the best way to ensure your vote is cast and counted.” I get that you might wind up in the hospital or something on election day and not get to vote. What I don’t understand is, if the Dems are using fake ballots to make up the difference to steal a win, doesn’t voting early give them a better idea of how many ballots they need to have and be able to act earlier themselves? Wouldn’t their not knowing until election day make it more difficult for them to cheat?

Expand full comment

Hi Belle,

Yes, I can explain why it's better to "Bank your Vote" and vote as early as possible. You basically already answered it though. Not only does it eliminate the single point of failure of waiting until Election Day (flat tire, migraine, kid gets sick, etc etc) but also (in theory) if the Republican Party in your area has its act together (BIG "IF") then they don't have to keep bugging YOU to GOTV (Get Out The Vote). They will see in the system that your ballot has already been cast and so they can move onto getting other R's who haven't voted yet to make sure they vote.

But I fully acknowledge your concerns/ points about telegraphing a number to the left as to how many fraudulent ballots they need to print. I'm going with Trump's entreaty that Republicans MUST make this election TOO BIG TO RIG!! In other words, let's say there are 200M registered voters in America (I'm making up a round number. I have no idea how many there are.) So Trump supporters MUST cast 125M votes! Then let the leftists try to claim their puppet got 130M votes!

I too am horrified by that possible outcome but think that this time low-propensity voters will come out, and it will be enough.

You want weird? Anyone in our military services holding a flag officer rank must be confirmed to that rank by the Senate. A flag officer is anyone in the Navy, Army, Marine Corps, Air Force or Space Force wearing a star on their shoulder, i.e., admirals and generals. Weird is the Senate confirming DEI/LGBQXYZ/et all candidates for flag officer rank. Those weird people running our military are all Senate approved. Now that is weird and disgraceful and frightening.

"Weird" is just another word now like "racist" for anyone who opposes their radical racial agenda, or really any part of their agenda at all, and "right wing" is anyone to the right of Lenin, while "Islamophobe" is reserved for you if you don't like terrorists flying planes into buildings.

Which is why I fear we will be hunted down.

Expand full comment

That would be a huge mistake by the left because they haven’t managed to disarm us and the vast majority of privately owned guns are in the hands of conservatives.

The military may be headed up by leftists but the rank and file aren’t. How many of them would be willing to kill their families, friends and neighbors if ordered to do so? When Nicolae Ceausescu ordered his troops to fire on their fellow citizens, they hunted he and his wife down and executed them.

Expand full comment

As I have said before here, the rank and file troops are NOT going to turn on their countrymen and families. The leadership has been compromised and needs to be fixed. Yesterday I watched a bit of the political theater that now defines our congress when they gang attacked the acting SS director. Sickening to watch. A bunch of our elected leaders pretended they were outraged at what has happened to the SS yet not a one of them does a single thing to fix anything today. The first thing they should do is break up the DHS and make each organization accountable. The SS is under DHS, a huge bureaucracy that effectively insulates everyone under its authority for any accountability. The FBI needs to be out from under the DOJ as well and accountable directly to congress. The CIA needs to be cleaned out as well. We are living in a police state that is accountable to no one.

I’m with you. And as a combat vet wish to avoid conflict. But I think it a foregone conclusion at this point. Neither side is going to give up. One will get power and try to force the other into their way of life. It always comes to blows.

My fear is these leftists have demonstrated time and time again their complete lack of concern for life other than their own. They will use all the weapons in the arsenal to stay in power. And unlike civil wars past where weaponry was basically equal, this time they control far more powerful stuff than the people have.

And they will use it.

Quoth Don: "Calling someone weird only works if you are not weird."

It seems weird they wouldn't notice this, doesn't it? I mean, when most people come up with a strategy – especially one where they tell all of their subordinates to follow it slavishly and publicly – they think about possible responses to it. Is the left unable to understand how anyone else thinks? Are they blinded by their contempt for us?

Either way, it is a gift from God that their strategy is ineffective.

Do you remember, over a decade ago, all the news outlets simultaneously, and right on cue, started using the word, "gravitas," saying Republicans lacked it? They're like a bunch of trained seals, barking on every command issued from their puppet masters. Every day, their credibility ebbs away. Do they have any left?

All of these psyops are designed to make you doubt yourself and reality. It’s part and parcel of the same plan- disorientation, alienation, and then submission. So the New Commies attack the things that people see as stable elements in their lives - family, sexual orientation, patriotism, belief in God, belief in rule of law, and they insult you and try to make you feel guilty and hopeless while they promote scumbags and engender chaos.

They can go to hell. The Dems are a cancer and their platform is evil and destructive . If you understand that, don’t get caught up in the noise. Just do what you can to defeat them. They hate you and they want to rule over you permanently. It’s a fact, Jack. Fight or the country dies. We are now a third world country politically. No different than Venezuela.

Don, you missed a few of the weird democrats. Namely, the entire Biden clan. Hunter naturally leads the list with his out-of-control lifestyle and never a hint at taking responsibility for his actions. Shacking up with his dead brother's wife would seem weird in most non-weird people's view. Of course, Joe 'Never f$#k with a Biden' morphed into a special kind of weirdness as his dementia kicked into high gear. His inflated ego couldn't stop him from telling the world so many provably false tales. And then his poor daughter who actually wrote in her diary of taking showers with her father. Now that is one weird family.
