African American Olympian Destroyed by Liberals Because She Took Selfie with Ivanka and Sanders

-By Warner Todd Huston

An African America member of the U.S. bobsled team was excoriated by liberals on Twitter because she dared take a selfie with Ivanka Trump and presidential spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders at the Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea.

Silver medal winning bobsledder Lauren Gibbs jumped to Twitter to post the selfie with Trump and Sanders adding a caption pleading with Americans to be civil. But, as liberals are wont to do, the athlete was thoroughly destroyed by leftists who insisted that there is no reason at all to be civil to people who hold the wrong political position. In no uncertain terms, liberal Twitter trolls accused the black athlete of being a race traitor, not caring about people, and aiding in the looting of America by rich white people.

Gibbs started her tweet on a positive note:

“It’s important to remember,” Gibbs wrote on her February 24 tweet, “that we don’t have to agree on everything to get along, be civil to each other and enjoy each others company. #itsforamerica it was a pleasure to meet you both!”

But Gibbs’ liberal fans were not at all pleased with the photo nor interested in civil relations with anyone who might disagree with their political point of view. Tweet after tweet slammed Gibbs for taking the picture and cast ridicule and hate on her selfie mates.

USA Today’s Olympic Fantasy of an All Female Country

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Olympics is usually a time of a country to express pride in its athletes, all its athletes. But not for USA Today. No, USA Today thought it would be interesting to imagine if our female athletes were “their own country.”

In its post Olympics coverage, USA Today wasn’t happy enough that America’s female Olympians were big winners in London. For USA Today, Kelly Whiteside went to fantasy land.

U.S. female athletes have done more than their fair share, winning 27 of the team’s 41 gold medals so far. To put that accomplishment in perspective: If the U.S. women were their own nation, they would be third in the gold medal count.

“I’ve been thrilled to see how well U.S. women have done,” said Kayla Harrison, a gold medalist in judo. “It feels amazing to be a part of something so much bigger than myself; I definitely feel connected. To be able to say I’m a strong confident young woman and an Olympic champion is amazing, and I hope we have a million young girls inspired right now.”

The same holds true for China, as women have won 20 of that country’s 37 gold medals.

We are in such a politically correct era that a major newspaper can’t be happy that a nation’s athletes, both its male and female athletes, did well at an international sporting event without separating the sexes.

Olympian Lolo Jones Scolds NYTimes for Not Supporting Our U.S. Olympic Athletes

U.S. Olympic Hurdler Lolo Jones was slammed by The New York Times as a woman of little accomplishment, a flimsy girl not sufficiently woman’s libby enough, one that is all show and no go and during an August 8 appearance on NBC’s Today, the hurdler broke down in tears wondering why the U.S. media was so ready to tear competitors down instead of supporting our U.S. Olympians?

For the Times, longtime sports writer Jere Longman seemed to think that Lolo Jones’ image of beauty and grace was a strike against women’s lib. “Women have struggled for decades to be appreciated as athletes,” he said in an August 4 editorial. But Jones has gotten a lot of notice “based not on achievement but on her exotic beauty and on a sad and cynical marketing campaign,” he carped.

Olympics Subtly Lure Tots Into Paganism’s Embrace

June 23, 2010 by

-By Frederick Meekins

Over the past decade and a half or thereabouts, I have published occasional columns pointing out that there is more going on in terms of worldview at the Olympic games than good sportsmanship and keeping a stoic outlook no matter how disappointed one might be at the outcome of a particular event. These worldviews often come closest to public light in commemorations surrounding the games such as the opening or closing ceremonies.

For example, in an audio commentary I noted the blatant paganism at the 2006 games in Greece where the ancient gods were not so much depicted as curiosities of mankind’s religious history with the possibility of a few moral axioms derivable occasionally from these myths when approached as literature. Rather, adoration of these entities was approached as a viable system of belief around which humanity could draw ongoing sustain inspiration moving the world towards cultural unification.

For the most part, such ideological manipulation was aimed largely at a generalized audience irrespective of age. Now it seems Olympic organizers may have more carefully targeted their indoctrination efforts towards children.
