WHAT A MASSIVE PILE OF HORSE MANURE
FOLKS, I don’t think I’ve EVER SEEN an Olympics AS WHACKED OUT as Paris 2024. Honestly. IS THERE an ADULT IN CHARGE anywhere that’s NOT STUPID, WOKE OR UNSCUPULOUS? Before this whole poop show of an OLYMPICS began, rumblings of major corruption SATURATED NEWSPAPERS across the Globe with the HEADLINE “PARIS 2024 OLYMPICS HEADQUARTERS, EVENT MANAGEMENT FIRMS RAIDED”. Why were they raided? “As part of an ongoing probe into alleged favoritism”. The joint was so bad police raided it for second time in October of 2023.
Not only is there a noteworthy crisis in the BOXING portion of these games, but also in gymnastics, swimming, and basketball (3 on 3) competitions as well. COCO GAUFF claimed the same was going on in Tennis and the CANADA women’s soccer scandal takes the CAKE for spying on opponents flying a drone over their opponents practice field. (SOUNDS LIKE BELICHICK!)
These games are a hot mess without even mentioning the OPENING CEREMONIES, the FOOD Issues athletes were murmuring about, THE FILTHY SEINE that saw an ATHLETE hospitalized after swimming in it, as well as PARIS deciding in the middle of a sweltering summer, they’d go GREEN and screw the world’s best athletes out of a good night’s sleep because they refused to provide them AC. YEP. For the sake of saving the planet the athletes get to marinate in their own body slime before their events each night. Bring a “fan” they said, or bring your OWN AC. This is true folks. That gets a vigorous WTF.
A LOT is going on there but for the next minute I want to focus on the BOXING SCANDAL which shouldn’t be a scandal at all. Two athletes who claim they are women, failed tests given to them by the IBF and the World Boxing Association to prove this. Officials from both organizations I mentioned, say the 2 boxers who were disqualified from previous competitions for failing gender tests – are competing in the women’s division. Both athletes – Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan – have reached the semifinals in their weight classes and are poised to medal in women’s boxing.
Istvan Kovacs, a Hungarian sports official with the WBO said the issue REALLY was with the GENDER TEST. “The problem was not with the level of Khelif’s testosterone, because that can be adjusted nowadays, but with the result of the GENDER TEST which clearly revealed that the Algerian BOXER is “biologically male”. Now, I don’t know about you, but I trust these people who know them, have been dealing with them, had a presser to explain themselves and laid out the facts because they’ve been ripped to shreds by the anti-realism crowd who wants to push a “social equity fantasy” on the world. For their part, the IOC originally stated the boxers were “BIOLOGICALLY MALE” but said “it says they’re woman on their PASSPORTS” so that’s that. Fast forward a few days later after GLOBAL outrage that men were boxing women… and the IOC claimed it course corrected itself and claimed the tests were not “legitimate” and they ARE WOMEN so everyone who doesn’t like it essentially shut up. No follow up, no proof of anything, no explanation as to why the tests are “illegitimate” we all just got a “because I said so” smackdown. HUH?
One side provides evidence the other says “if you question the IOC, you’re a hater” and some kind of PHOBE. PEOPLE, this is the equivalent to the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION telling us the ECONOMY is terrific despite the market blowing up the other day and food prices hitting the middle class severely. We have evidence, facts, the truth, BUT we are told don’t believe THAT stuff… believe what some fact checker paid for by the SOROS group says online and everything else they tell you to believe.
EXAMPLES: THE BLM protesters were not destructive they were “peaceful”, Biden was fit as a fiddle and could outlast a 30-YEAR-OLD IN A POTATO SACK RACE, THE BORDER IS SECURE, WE don’t know WHO’S cocaine it was at the WH despite the SECRET SERVICE having a partial DNA match, the HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP was fake, THE STEELE DOSSIER was REAL and now… these 2 BOXERS are women. Hey, the same folks who are freaking out LITERALLY online about this and live in a place I don’t relate to mentally, are the same people who still say the COVID VACCINATIONS are safe despite “suddenly deaths” all over the GLOBE and the KANSAS AG suing PFIZER “for misleading Kansans on the safety of the COVID VACCINE”. FACTS are FACTS, TRUTH IS TRUTH, and GENDER tests don’t lie. BUT PEOPLE DO… but hey – what do I know?

IS THERE A PROBLEM?
The other day I was minding my own business heading home from visiting with mom when I came to a very busy street in a well to do section of PROVIDENCE and I had to cross the road with my Jeep. People were parked on both sides up and down this street and I couldn’t see a damn thing. Short of pulling out into the road and stopping traffic completely like everyone does ALL THE TIME EVERYWHERE (so ignorant BTW) I inched along hoping someone would be kind enough to let me go seeing my plight…. nah. EVERYONE SUCKS (hahahaha) and no one would let me out so I had to go when there was a tiny moment, and I thought I could make it without getting killed.
As I zipped across the street, I saw two people beginning to walk in the cross walk I was headed towards. Again, I hoped they would see my plight and let me continue on without having to stop as it was just a little dicey and the better way to handle the situation. NAH. The two thirty somethings saw me and kept walking, and I had to come to an “ABRUPT stop”. Not slam on my brakes stop… not a spectacle of any kind… just go across quickly and stop for them quickly. It was a challenging situation. ANYHOW, as I let them pass, they both look up at me and I can see them using expletives and sneering and just being total A-HOLES so I said to myself “oh no no no my little snowflakes… here’s what we are gonna do”… I roll my window down and say (super nicely) IS THERE A PROBLEM? The one snowflake looks at me and says “YA! you almost KILLED US! OMG I thought to myself… people… they were so OBNOXIOUS… think PENELOPE in “TRADING PLACES”… so I respond with “WELL I HARDLY THINK that’s what happened my friends!”
I go onto say (because I just couldn’t leave it alone) “DRAMA! from a young soft generation who is entitled to everything every second of everyday……and all the space needed to take those endless KILLER SELFIES! GIVE ME A BREAK FLAKE! and then I beep beeped and drove away. I think I did pretty well there. One friend said I was an “old crabby fighting lady”! I lol. Maybe! What do you all think? How would YOU have handled it? let me know in the comment section of this column below! YOUR opinion counts! SO, USE IT!

I can’t believe I’m so repelled by the Olympic Games. As a kid, I relished them. Was so proud of our athletes. So interested in learning where others came from….
I’ll miss them.
You have hit the nail on the head once again with comments and eye opening truths about your subject matter in this weeks edition. Great stuff, keep it going.
I use to love the Olympics. Between the facts that there is lousy coverage (where is Bob Costas or Jim McKay or Al Michaels when you need them) the scandal ‘stuff’, and due to the fact that I personally don’t have cable or wifi for viewing i was/am unable to see some of the events I like it just ain’t the same anymore. To paraphrase: these aren’t your mother’s olympics. Really now you have to guess who used to be or is a male competing as a female! At least Bruce Jenner waited till he was finished competing!
I probably would’ve just yelled out a large F U and moved along since I don’t like to talk to people I don’t know. My personal opinion is that the government is being run by 5 guys in a room and the politicians are out of work actors who are paid to perform. No one is going to convince me that Joe Biden was able to make one decision during his reign. Has he been seen since he announced he wasn’t being allowed (oops sorry shouldn’t have said that) to run? Has Kamala said anything that wasn’t scripted since she WON the party nomination????
Love your columns- take care and be safe
– I also have trouble leaving well enough alone with obnoxious people in public. Even thouI know I should just let it go . Pick your times wisely Jen. People are crazy out there. It’s like Ron used to say, “expect that everyone is carrying a gun.” -Robert in Ma.
Great and entertaining stuff.
Right on point.
As usual, good stuff.
My sons and I could hardly wait for the Olympics when they were growing up. We would watch every bit of it we could. Now….can’t stand to look at it. It’s been turned into just one more woke arena.
I couldn’t believe Nancy Pelosi could suggest that with a straight face!!
I enjoyed the “did you know”. The one about blankets being put into wills is mind boggling. We forget just how much we are blessed!
Thanks for working to put these together Jen!
I can still hear my mom calling me on the phone to tell me when gymnastics or swimming was on – I try to block out the “crap” and focus on the athletes
