Why Trump is Booing American Olympic Athletes

This isn't to bash Trump, just another article with a very misleading headline. But at least this writer does a nice job explaining how the Olympic games, while not intended to be political, the games were beginning with the 1896 Summer games.

As strange as it sounds, the political controversy with this version of the Summer games is an American female shot putter and a New Zealand weight lifter. Though questionable, the shot putter's actions didn't violate any rules. The controversy with the weight lifter is with the rules and based on how the International Olympic Committee defines an athletes' gender. 

IMO Laurel Hubbard entered the games just to get five minutes of fame because they couldn't even lift the qualifying weight.

GOP legislator admitted there was 'nothing to' election fraud allegations

According to a Republican member of the Maricopa Board of Supervisors, Karen Fann, the Arizona state Senate president said she knew there was "nothing to" the fraud allegations.

If there is "nothing to" the allegations, why is the state paying millions for a useless audit? The state is not paying millions for the audit because Arizona law requires state bodies to disclose and account for any public or private funding received, these regulations have been sidestepped in the audit as fundraising money is being sent straight to Cyber Ninjas.

People like Mike "the crack addict" Lindell are paying for this sham audit by calling it "political donations" on the tax form.

"Twisties and Yips"

They happen to elite athletes in every sport. Golf is one of the best examples of the yips because they can effect anyone. Some golfers that were consistently in "top tens" a couple years ago are now struggling to make the cut. Just ask World number 1 golfer David Duval why he basically disappeared from golf in 2010. All Star basketball players can't make foul shot is another; just ask Giannis Antetokounmpo. The NBA created rules for "hack-a-shaq" situtations.

The "twisties" is a gymnastic term and lots of gymnastic experts are saying that's what Simone Biles is experiencing. Of course that doesn't stop racist far right reporters and some politicians from commenting negatively. The absolute dumbest are many of the Fox News reporters saying she "let down her team". As if she could help out her team by not being able to execute her very difficult routines. It's obvious those morons never played many team sports and if they did, it was at the very bottom level. They were the kids picking flowers in right field when the rules forced their coaches to play them.

Really a shame when some TV News reporters question why an athlete decided not to compete in a sport they never even played.

Trump-backed candidate loses in Texas special election!

Must be a typo because every Republican in Texas would follow Trump jumping off a cliff. Wonder what happened?

Oh wait, maybe when the Republicans rigged the election so Susan Wright would win, they messed up and the votes went to the winner Jake Ellzey. They'll have to wait until Mike "the my pillow crack addict" Lindell sorts it all out.

Where's the logic?

For months now a few people here are repeating Trump and still saying the "election was stolen", basically with very little evidence and no proof. It even evolved into several questions about President Biden's competency. It started with "trump speak" when Trump started calling him "sleepy Joe" in an attempt to question Joe's ability to govern. His ability to govern was mentioned several times right after Trump's baseless "big steal" claims.

Where is the logic in saying while Biden had the ability to steal an National election with over 150 million voters, he is incompetent to be the president?

Trump Claims Americans 'Refusing to Take the Vaccine'

I was never told or even asked to get vaccinated, but several government and social outlets are recomending we all get vaccinated. And the last time I looked it was our prerogative. So to say "people are refusing" is not only misleading but yet another bald face lie because you can't refuse to do something you were never told to do. 

Now some employers are saying getting vaccinated is a "condition of employment", but only time will tell if that stands up in court. As for me and after reading all the pros and cons, it's still a personal choice.

Arizona Senate powerless to recall electors

The Arizona Senate held a briefing in which contractors hired for its 2020 election audit in Maricopa County said they don't have enough information to complete a report. On Friday the President of the Arizona Senate Karen Fann said the Senate lacks the authority to recall electors Wonder when the Arizona Senate will finally figure out nothing will be found?

Just a word of advice if anyone gets a phone call or email from the Cyber Ninjas saying you won millions in a lottery, immediately hang up and delete the email. Don't fall for the same scam the Arizona Senate did!

The "Cyber Ninjas" are being slammed by the Arizona GOP members!

This time it's by the Maricopa County Republican Board of Directors Chairman when Jack Sellers said "At today's briefing, the Senate's uncertified contractors asked a lot of open-ended questions, portraying as suspicious what is actually normal and well known to people who work in elections."

Sellers slammed the "incompetence" of the Cyber Ninjas auditors by saying "What we heard today represents an alternate reality". The biggest problem for the Ninjas is after their audit report is issued, they still must defend it in court.

Can understand supporters secretly supporting the "Cyber Ninja" effort, but on social media their support could become an embarrassment and they're risking whatever credibility they had. 

LOL @ "Cyber Ninjas" looking for bamboo in the paper. And people actually believe these goofballs will find something?

Trump Denies Conversation

Nobody said General Milley had a conversation about a coup with Trump so why as usual is Orange45 trying to pretend somebody did say it? 

The facts show Milley "feared Trump would attempt a coup". And the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff wasn't the only one fearing that Trump would do anything to remain president. Mike Pence refused to get in car with secret service during January 6 storming of the Capital Building.

Except for a few stragglers, many of the Kool-Aid drinkers now see that their former emperor has no clothes. Wonder how much more the stragglers are willing to donate so the "Cyber Ninja" can pretend they know how to do an election audit and find 4 more cases of fraud so they can double it to a total of eight. Getting 4 out of 3.6 million is better odds than PB and MM gives.

The Kraken turned out to be another real dud!

And now even Lin Woods is trying to jump ship and saying "don't blame me, the Kraken was Rudy and Sidney's idea". Slowly but surely many of the weird conspiracy theories are being debunked, but the bases for their "Kraken" was convincing a court, any court to order an investigation into something that never happened. It's like the useless and silly "forensic audit" in Arizona looking for bamboo paper.

People will believe whatever and there sure lots of them here.

Did you see what Mitch

McConnell said about NCAA athletes getting paid for using their own likeness and images?

It's a state issue and  maybe old Mitch is confused and forgot he's a U.S. Senator.
