The Fragility of American Society

Time to Grow a Spine and Stop the Whining

Whaaaaaaaa! Photo courtesy of YouTube.com

It seems like every Olympic cycle some story emerges about an athlete getting his or her feelings hurt because they cannot withstand the criticism for a poor performance.

I am not going to go into full details because, honestly, I do not care about these athletes going to a murderous communist country to compete for the sake of money.

Slalom favorite Mikaela Shiffrin crashed in the early stages of the slalom competition. NBC has been accused of been insensitive towards the skier because they showed her interview in which she appeared to be distraught and very emotional.

What was NBC supposed to do? Accusing the media of the shortcomings of athletes is ridiculous. The media pump these athletes at the behest of the athlete’s publicists, endorsers, and the United States Olympic Committee.

When they do not perform as expected, the world is crumbling, and the media is evil for reporting the facts. The ‘Blue Checkmark’ keyboard warriors and the Twitter fantasy metaverse loons go on their typing sprees, accusing the network of mentally abusing the athlete.

They did the same thing in the 2020 Summer Olympics when gymnast Simone Byles withdrew from events because apparently the pressure was too much to manage. The media then call it how they saw it and the public was outraged.

Athletes, welcome to the real world. A Twitter keyboard warrior went on to say, “Anyone that endures a public disappointment should be given some empathy, respect, and privacy, it’s basic human decency.”

First, she is an athlete, as an athlete she should know that she will not be perfect, and disappointments will come along. By reporting and showing the truth NBC was not disrespectful, and she is a public figure competing in an Olympic event.

Instead of feeling sorry for these athletes, people should encourage them to get off the self-pity wagon and go fight for it. Unfortunately, in this era of victimhood it is easier to encourage whining than fighting to earn something.

I am sure the millions of Americans living in poverty and wondering how they are going to feed their children are not too concerned about Shiffrin’s meltdown.

Our society has become too fragile, too entitled, and too self-absorbed.

Like President Truman once said, ‘If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.’

Not a Good Time for BLM

From Toronto to Tennessee to Fraud Investigations

For a group responsible for the biggest riots and destruction of property of 2020 and 2021, they do get a lot of contributions from the community and if you dare to question them, their leadership labels you a racist or some other nonsense.

It is a well documented fact the upper echelons of the movement have made a pretty penny and a good living, while the people they were supposed to be helping have seen none of the money.

Things are so bad for the organization that as of February 3, 2022 BLM has shutdown all fundraising activities after several states initiated fraud investigations due to a “lack of financial transparency”, including $60 million dollars in undisclosed donations.

To make matters worse, recently, the Toronto chapter made a lavish $8.1 million dollar purchase of a mansion (pictured above) after getting the bulk of the money from the BLM Global Network based in the United States. Needless to say, the ‘activists’ were not too happy about it.

The leaders of the Toronto chapter unexpectedly quit the chapter while millions of dollars are still unaccounted for. You can kiss that money goodbye!

This seems to be garden variety BLM leadership behavior. In the United States, co-founder Patrisse Cullors, quit the movement, but not after buying five mansions, including one in the Bahamas. I am sure the people from Ferguson, Missouri, will not be invited to the ‘Black Tie’ parties.

This week, Memphis BLM founder, Pamela Moses, was sentenced to six years in prison for illegally registering to vote as a convicted felon. Of course, she claims she was unaware of her felony conviction to which she pled back in 2015.

Perhaps it is a case of selective memory loss, but if I were a convicted felon I would remember it and I would know what I am not supposed to do. I would definitely know if I voted illegally six times.

She went on to say nobody ever mentioned anything about voting. Well, for an individual with a bachelor’s degree in political science, and a self proclaimed stalwart for ‘voting rights, she should have been well acquainted with Tennessee voting laws.

Obviously the prosecution was able to make its case and Ms. Moses will be serving some time for her voter fraud shenanigan’s.

The NAACP made the claim that ‘those who intentionally committed voter fraud, they are sentenced to probation’.

I guess when they say ‘those’ they are insinuating this is about race and if Ms. Moses were a white woman she would have been given a pass. I would love to read the circumstances under which those individuals were given probation, if that’s indeed a factual claim. Every case is different and to make such a broad comparison is ludicrous.

Folks, this is not about color or race, this about the rule of law. In a time when our electoral system integrity is in question, cases like this need to be address and if the law has been broken, dealt accordingly.

Fraud is fraud folks!

This Guy is a Cowardly Buffoon

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Can you smell what this coward is cooking? I can, a big load of crap!

I don’t have a problem with people standing by their beliefs, but Dwayne Johnson is a hypocrite and a coward.

After standing by Podcaster Joe Rogan, he got a little heat from the ‘blue checkmark’ desk jockeys in Hollywood and cowardly backtracked his support for Rogan.

Like Rogan, Johnson has made some boneheaded statements in the past, but since the cancel culture brood has taken over our society, forgiveness is not a word in their vocabulary.

I would have had more respect for Johnson if, instead of cowardly running away, he would have taken a stance against the cancel culture morons.

How long does it take for people to be forgiven for past stupidities?

I guarantee you that most of these ‘blue checkmark’ desk jockeys have plenty of skeletons in their closets.

Grow a pair Dwayne!

Is Not a Good Day to Be Stupid

Unless You Are a Democratic Party Politician

Not a good day to be a democrat! Garcetti and Schumer score big.

When it is not your day, it is not your day. Today a couple of Democratic Party politicians could not help themselves and exposed their stupidity for everyone to see.

Let us start with the master of pandering, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York. While addressing a group of people touting Joe Biden’s promised to nominate a black woman to the United States Supreme Court, the senator took a sizable chunk of his foot and put it deep inside his mouth.

He went on to claim that until 1981 the Supreme Court was all white men. Obviously, the Senator forgot that from 1967 to 1991, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who was black, was part of the Supreme Court. Justice Clarence Thomas later replaced Justice Marshall.

Talk about embarrassing, especially when Schumer was already serving in government while Justice Marshall was still an active member of the court.

Typical Democrat, Schumer went on an apology tour, but not before getting smoked on social media.

A suggestion to my liberal friends, if you are going to act “woke” know your stuff before making a fool of yourself. Your foolishness only gives people like me good writing material.

Next, we go all the way to the wrecked state of California, where Eric Garcetti, Mayor of Los Angeles, could have earned an academy award nomination for the stupidest statement I have ever read about Covid-19 and mask wearing.

Mind you, Los Angeles requires every citizen, including the vaccinated, to always wear a mask during indoor activities.

Mayor Garcetti was caught with his pants down when basketball player, Magic Johnson, posted pictures of him on Twitter and the mask-less Mayor having a jolly good time at SoFi Stadium.

When confronted, Mayor Garcetti dismissed the complaints by stating that a mask is not necessary if you hold your breath. Say what? That is right folks, the Mayor of Los Angeles went on to say “there is zero percent chance of infection” if you hold your breath.

You cannot make this stuff up; I could not produce this type of nonsense even if I try.

Let us look at the bright side, Garcetti has found an effective way to stop the spread of Covid-19, despite the fact the CDC has not recommended human beings stop breathing to reduce the spread of infection.

I have the sneaky feeling that holding one’s breath is not at all helpful.

Stupid is as stupid does. Garcetti and Schumer scored big.

The “Wokestralian” Open Down Under

The Australian Open Champion *

Rafael Nadal? ‘I made sure the #1 ranked in the world player was kicked out of the tournament’

The Australian government made a mockery of their country, the pandemic, and the tournament. They used Djokovic as a political pawn, and his vaccination status, as an excuse to keep him out of the tournament and eventually kicking him out of the country.

Still, the country is run like a penal colony and the cases of COVID-19 remain at their highest despite of their vaccination mandates and lockdowns. Spare me the outrage.

Rafael Nadal may have won the Australian Open, but without the #1 ranked player in the world, Novak Djokovic, the victory will be seen by many as a fraud and with a huge asterisk next to it.

The Australian government may have won the ‘Woke War’, but they lost their prestige with it.
