The Tokyo Olympic Games this year has shown how America in part was weaken by its own popular culture, coupled with the dominance of the Progressive cabal, regardless if they call themselves liberal, leftist, Freethinker, Humanist, or worst of all Marxist. These people basically chipped away America’s greatness…something that Donald Trump tried to rebuild and/or preserve as President of the United States…only to lose to Joe Biden as he and the progressive crowd continues to move us “forward” to the abyss.
But even with Trump in the Oval Office, the progressives began to take over the Wide World of Sports, starting with the NFL, Collen Kaepernick, and taking the knelling to a vile level (unlike Tim Tebow) as he spits on America’s glory and shows his admiration of Fidel Castro himself, not mention his muscle that Castro in part threw under the bus eventually…Che Guevara. The NBA embraces Black Lives Matter which was magnified by the way the Minneapolis police handled George Floyd in their custody. Their actions made Floyd a martyr for the BLM cause, and is only helping the black criminal and then some in the major cities. Sadly, Major League Baseball followed suit on the BLM cause and moved an All-Star game from predominate African-American Atlanta, Georgia to the whiter but just as Democrat dominated city of Denver, Colorado…so what if they have a black mayor and one before…I know and there was a Latino before them.
Now we are seeing it at the Olympics but not just with the Women’s Soccer team, but also with a young woman that maybe should have quit while she was ahead. Instead, she might have let her ego and then some get the best of her. I am talking about Olympic Gymnast Simone Biles. Up until now, she was one of the best in the sport of Gymnastics. But even before the blade came down last week, you could see something was wrong with Biles as it was seen in her facial reactions. But Biles eventually cracked and removed herself from the Olympic competition. There are claims that her team would have failed to metal if she stayed, while others say that would have gotten the Gold instead of the Sliver if she hung in long enough. Win or lose, I personally believe that if you can finish your race than finish it. We have always cut slack for physical injury.
Many of us, have given up or quit at something for one reason or another. Back in the late 2000’s, I worked for a major retailer as a courtesy clerk, which the primary role of shopping cart retrieval as well and customer carry outs when they are called for. This company basically goes through courtesy clerks and work them like dogs until they burn out…which happens more than not…many of the clerks slack off in hopes of getting fired. Others quit, or just flat out are fired out down the road regardless if you try you best. I admit that I was no saint and had my share of screw ups, but in the end, I saw the writing on the walls, not to mention those walls were closing in on me as they were using a process in which they can finally run me out of the company. Well, they did…almost. I decided to quit knowing that my days with the company were coming to an end…coupled with the way it was handled. I have talked to many people who worked as courtesy clerks for this company and based on what they have told me…nothing has changed. Some say that the founder of this company is turning in his grave.
Now let me set the record straight, mental illness is not something to laugh at or scorn at. It does need to be taken seriously, but at the same time let us not just give Biles a “Get out of Jail” card and bleed our hearts out. If Biles is smart and claims to have the character that she has, Biles must not…I Repeat; NOT allow the elite progressives to make her a media magnet. They would milk Biles for all its worth in their efforts to help with America’s “fundamental transformation.” No fooling around, the media wants to make her into some kind of real-world super hero as they support the death of America as it was founded. At the same time, there are many other questions that needed to be answered, including if the coaches crossed a line that should have not been crossed other than pushing the team as hard to be competitive. Why Biles could not see this any sooner and why could she not give up her place and give someone else a chance to fight for the Olympic Dream and goals? There are honest questions that demand honest answers…and we should not allow these questions to be swept under the rug.
Texas Deputy Attorney General Aaron Reitz may have crossed a line calling her a disgrace to her country, but let us make her into a hero either…nor a villain. To use a term that is used in the Money Cards bonus/end game on the long running TV game show Card Sharks; it’s a “push.” “No Win, No Loss.” Ben Shaprio made a similar statement but his colleagues are still not afraid to call a spade a spade. Steve Deace went to social media and said Biles quitting the team is “a metaphor for America as a nation.” Biles is showing to the world that; “We (as in America) are dying – literally.” Yes we are, and the Marxists in America as well as over the world are cheering it on.
Matt Walsh called Simone’s bluff and said;
Simone Biles quit on her team because she wasn't having fun. This is called being a quitter. It's completely disgraceful and selfish. I guarantee that most of the people defending it wouldn't be defending it if she was a man. We now have decorated Olympic athletes quitting in the middle of the competition because they're sad…in some ways an appropriate representation of a country that has gone soft.
She did get a positive response from Contemporary Christian music singer turned author and Bible teacher Shelia Walsh, who wrote a piece regarding Biles dropping out of the Tokyo Olympics Gymnastics competition at foxnews.com. Walsh herself delt with a mental breakdown in the 1990’s which cost her co-host gig on the long running 700 Club with Pat Robertson. She was able to bounce back however, and seems to be stronger in her faith in God along with life in general.
I don’t think Tom Brady or Peyton Manning or even the great John Elway would have not been admired had they chose to walk away from their respected teams because they were not mentally in it. Let us look at the few Olympic athletes of the past.
What if gymnast Keri Strug choose to walk away instead of making the vault? No Gold medals, no Wheaties box for her and her team. What if Laura Wilkerson walked away from her sport of Diving over her fractured foot? By the way did make this year’s Olympic trials attempting to make it on the Toyko diving team, and while she did not make the cut…she earned the respect of her fans and then some. What if the great swimmer of the moment Kathleen Genevieve Ledecky snapped, and walked away (other than being physically sick as she was in 2019) because Australia’s Ariarne Titmus defeated her in the 200 and 400 meter in an honest fight as Dean Boxall (Titmus’ coach) tries to convince us that he has the moves like Mick Jagger? That would be a disgrace with the likes of Ledecky who was fighting for the 1500-meter freestyle for women in the Olympics (and maybe an 800m for the boys which they now have as well). All of the Olympic athletes I mentioned are women, and would they have been treated with kids gloves as Simone Biles has? Wilkerson likely (having a legit excuse, but continued to take the plunge declaring “this is going to be cool” one time in an NBC promo) but I don’t think Strug would have gotten such treatment. Katie Ledecky…maybe but not as much as Biles is getting, but who knows.
I want Biles to get healthy and in a right state of mind, but please; please, please, PLEASE! She is not hero in this at all (not a villain either), I strongly agree with the conservative consensus at least on this. Biles has indeed shown to the world that America indeed has gotten weaker, while the rest of the world is apparently not as obsessed in going woke as America is. Key word, is “Fun” and Biles says she is not having fun anymore. China is breathing down our necks, and anytime China wins a medal, it’s really a win not for the athletes but for their Lord and Master Xi Jinping (and Mao Zedong).
Congrats to Suni Lee for winning Olympic Gold in Women’s individual Gymnastics. I shall leave it at that regarding the Women’s Gymnastics drama in Tokyo. I am crossing my fingers that our Women’s Soccer Team does not take any medals at the games (they have yet the play the semi-final as I write this, but it will take place when this is published) so they can publicly mock and scorn America some more.
And Sparky, if you agree with the progressive zeitgeist that Simone Biles is the hero…please don’t respond. You are only going to make me turn green and mean (i.e., downright angry). Our enemies especially China are seeing this as weakness and they want to take advantage of this big time.
THIS JUST IN!!!! Simone Biles will compete on the Balance Beam. I wish her well. Oh and Women's Soccer is going to fight for Bronze. May they fail...you kneel for the Anthem...you diss America ladies...and dare I say your a bunch of American Marxists (get Mark Levin's lastest book please)
