It was a disgusting display of an attack on Christianity. Well the French sure did it. Two years in the planning and Jill Biden gushes over the ceremony without a negative word to be said about it. Worse, twitter showed it stripes as it banned and censored users for being critical. Does the news get any worse? The Olympics were to be a time for Nations to come together, instead another divisive attack.
Despite the backlash that is still going well into its third day, the spokesperson for the Paris Olympic Committee believes that their LGBT and drag queen-inspired opening ceremony performance achieved its goal of “community tolerance.”
Anne Descamps, an official with the committee, told reporters on Sunday that their performance hit its intended mark.
On Saturday, the organizers of the Paris Olympics scrambled to pressure social media platforms, such as X, to censor users who mocked and criticized Friday night’s shocking Opening Ceremony.
The event, which featured drag queens, nudity, and scenes deemed highly disrespectful to Christians, sparked outrage worldwide. When the International Olympic Committee’s social media 1984-style censorship efforts failed (read: here), the committee had no choice but to apologize for the drag queen parody of Jesus’ Last Supper on Sunday morning.
No other religion would be mocked in such a way.
The 2024 Paris Olympics has gone full Woke dystopian.
The opening ceremony was filled with transgend*r mockery of the Last Supper, the Golden Calf idol, and even the Pale Horse from the Book of Revelation.
As if the olympics could not descend further into chaos and controversy, we have this story. Women ski jumping has had a hard slog to get into the olympics. Women competing in ski jumping is a relatively new event at the Winter Games. It was only added to the Olympics in 2014, and the mixed team ski jumping event is part of the Games for the first time ever this year. But it is not just this sport that is in question. In the video below a full review of the questionable activities in other sports is included that NBC and other news agencies are not reporting for their own concern with China.
If we have thoughts about the fairness of the whole thing, WND has a good review of what life is like for the athletes and raises the question:
Olympic athletes are exposing the disturbing measures China is taking in an attempt to hold a “COVID-free” Olympics.
According to the UK Daily Mail, dozens of athletes said they had experienced inhumane conditions while in isolation due to positive COVID-19 tests.
Russian biathlete Valeria Vasnetsova said she was served an extremely small and unappealing meal three times a day for five days while she was in isolation. By the end, she said her “bones [were] sticking out,” the Daily Mail reported.
Polish speed skater Natalia Maliszewska had a similarly terrible experience. She said she was repeatedly moved into and out of isolation due to conflicting results from the unreliable COVID-19 tests being used in China.
As for the skiers it turns out that even though the ski outfits had been worn before, it was this latest time that it was decided to disqualify the competitors.
Slovenia’s win in the Olympic debut of the mixed team ski jumping event on Monday was overshadowed by a number of disqualifications over suit violations that led several outraged athletes and coaches to slam the sport’s governing body.
Five female ski jumpers, from Germany, Austria, Norway, and Japan, were all disqualified from the competition after officials said their ski suits did not comply with the International Ski Federation’s (FIS) rules.
According to Yahoo Sports, the suits were deemed too loose which seemingly gives the skiers an advantage on their jumps.
German head of Nordic events Horst Huttel, whose team was the favorite heading into the event, said, via Reuters, that the situation was “outrageous.”
Germany’s silver medalist Katharina Althaus was one of the disqualified skiers. She slammed the FIS for what she said “destroyed” the sport.
“I have no words for the decisions that were made today,” she wrote in a post on Instagram. “Our sport has been damaged by it … Athletes and their dreams were destroyed. I’m sorry but I have NEVER in 11 years!!! [been] disqualified.”
“I’m so disappointed and angry. We really did everything to be here and did all our best … I’m devastated and can’t comprehend it,” she continued.
The olympics are covered in the first portion of the video.
The best of the swamp today.
For the best in conservative news push the button.
What kind of “freakish” ability does it take to throw a hammer? Just where does this sport take you that it rates a media sensation? This is one of those sports that finds a handful of competitors that have an interest and that attracts zero viewership. Period. End of story. But no one talks about that do they?
Another grifter who needs her 5 minutes of fame. No doubt she got “woke” after she watched Colin Kaepernick run the news cycle for his years of “fame.” A hammer thrower? Please! She ain’t no Colin Kaepernick. They say she has “freakish” ability.
An old photo of Gwen Berry, the Olympian hammer thrower who came under the spotlight over the weekend for turning her back while the national anthem sounded, went viral on Wednesday.
The picture, dug up by internet sleuths, showed Berry joyously holding the American flag as she kept her dream to represent the U.S. at the 2016 Rio Olympics alive. The photo appears on Berry’s old personal website touting her accomplishments.
It’s unclear when the photo was taken. The blog post is dated June 12, 2015. Berry had come in first at the 2014 Pan American Sports Festival in Mexico City in the hammer throw event. The page was made to showcase Berry before she eventually made the 2016 U.S. Olympic team. Read more
The “hammer” used in this sport is not like any of the tools also called by that name. It consists of a metal ball attached by a steel wire to a grip. The size of the ball varies between men’s and women’s competitions.

Five years before turning her back on the flag and anthem, thus becoming America’s most recent edition of the “Activist Athlete,” Berry posted a pic of herself proudly holding the American flag.
What happened @MzBerryThrows? You deleted your website… did you realize it made you look like the phony who's only woke to cash in? https://t.co/EH3K8ULSAv
The website pic and description – which has now been deleted – was copied and shared by Outkick Wednesday afternoon. The since-deleted site describes Berry as a hard-working athlete striving toward “her dream of representing her country” at the Olympics.
We get a “twofer” with this “Olympian.” The oldest competitor – 43, and a tranny. Add to that he competed as a man in weightlifting prior to his “transitioning.” We knew this was coming. Back in 2015 the Olympic committee approved transgendered competitors. I have yet to figure out how the women’s movement can support this nonsense. Worldwide, out of close to seven billion souls, only a handful of men claim to be transgendered. Out of that, we are going to allow them to turn women’s sports upside down. Then to add to the fun of the Olympics: Transgender Olympian Wants To Burn US Flag On The Podium.
You know the drill, no need to repeat how this effects girls and women in sports:
Laurel Hubbard, a male-to-female transgender weightlifter, is set to make history as the first openly transgender person to participate in the Olympics.
Hubbard, 43, was selected to join New Zealand’s weightlifting team at the Olympics in Tokyo this summer. Hubbard is the oldest weightlifter to be competing in the games.
“Look, I’ve heard that and I think it’s incredibly disrespectful to the other competitors,” Hubbard said in 2017. “I don’t believe there is any fundamental difference between me and the other athletes, and to suggest there is is slightly demeaning to them.”
Hubbard competed in men’s weightlifting competitions before undergoing transgender surgery in 2013. In 2015, the International Olympic Committee announced it would allow a transgender female to participate in women’s competitions as long as the athlete’s testosterone measured below 10 nanomoles per liter for at least a year prior to competing.
….
Hubbard dominated female weightlifting after transitioning. Hubbard set four national weightlifting records for New Zealand at the 2017 Australian International & Australian Open in Melbourne. Hubbard also unseated Lambrechs as the top female competitor in their weight class.
There’s great news for adventurous male Olympic hopefuls: if they declare themselves women and reduce their testosterone below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to competition, they can compete against ladies.
There’s even better news for these men; according to transgender guidelines approved by the International Olympic Committee, genitalia does not serve as a prerequisite. The guidelines state: “To require surgical anatomical changes as a pre-condition to participation is not necessary to preserve fair competition and may be inconsistent with developing legislation and notions of human rights.”
The IOC ignores evidence that the fairness of male to female transition still leaves men larger in general than the women they compete against. As Robert S. Beil, M.D., of Montefiore Medical Group, acknowledged, “MTF trans people tend to be bigger, and may have certain strengths from before they started using estrogen.” As noted in a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine
“My goal is to win the Olympics so I can burn a US flag on the podium. This is what they focus on during a pandemic. Hurting trans children,” BMX rider Chelsea Wolfe Wrote on Facebook in March, Fox reported. The athlete said that the comment doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about the U.S. and those who misunderstand the remark are “sorely mistaken.”
The 28-year-old Florida native started BMX racing at the age of 6 and began competing in 2014, according to Wolfe’s bio page.

“Qualifying to represent the US national team for the sport that I love is something I consider to be one of my life’s greatest achievements. Through so many obstacles in my way on top of the standard challenges that every athlete will face when working for this dream I persevered and the difficulty of this task is why I’m so proud to accomplish it.”
New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard on Monday became the first openly transgender athlete to be selected to compete in the Olympics this summer.
It’s curious as to what motivated our gal Rep Ilhan Omar to wade into this nightmare. She wants her Muslim guy pal Ellison to go after USA Powerlifting for barring males from competing in women’s events.
In her letter to Ellison in support of this investigation, third paragraph down, the operative sentence.
… “follow the example of the International Olympic Committee.”
This caught my eye from a post a couple of years ago:
There’s great news for adventurous male Olympic hopefuls: if they declare themselves women and reduce their testosterone below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to competition, they can compete against ladies.
There’s even better news for these men; according to transgender guidelines approved by the International Olympic Committee, genitalia does not serve as a prerequisite. The guidelines state: “To require surgical anatomical changes as a pre-condition to participation is not necessary to preserve fair competition and may be inconsistent with developing legislation and notions of human rights.”
Let’s just set aside the dressing and showering issues alone.
WASHINGTON — Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar recommended Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison investigate USA Powerlifting for barring biological males from women’s events, according to a Jan. 31 letter she sent USA Powerlifting.
Omar sent her letter on behalf of JayCee Cooper, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, and whom Omar identified as one of her constituents. She signed the letter on Jan. 31, though it only became public on Tuesday after Cooper posted a picture to Instagram, where it caught the attention of OutSports.
Ace speculates as to why our gal is after women’s sports. How about his thought?
Why is Ilhan Omar, of all people, jumping on this issue?
Is this because she’s an extreme intersectionalist leftwinger? Or is it because she harbors the usual Islamic notions of what a woman should be and what a woman shouldn’t be, and doesn’t mind the notion of destroying women’s sports altogether?
Maybe women shouldn’t be doing Manly things like sports. Maybe they should just be servicing their husband and making dinner with their husband’s other wives.
I wonder when the left will take it one bridge too far. It puts all Progressive women in a bind. All for tranny rights, but competing in sports? I have been amazed when talking to bright intelligent women that they find no risk in having so called trans boys/men going into girls and women’s locker rooms. I suggest that the Olympics might do it as these hybrids take the Gold from women in women’s competition.
Put me down as in the unbelievable column. Any male third world athlete hopeful simply has to decrease his testosterone level, still keep his package, and compete in the women’s Olympics. Hmm… the showering bit? How is this going to play out with the women? Here we go:
There’s great news for adventurous male Olympic hopefuls: if they declare themselves women and reduce their testosterone below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to competition, they can compete against ladies.
There’s even better news for these men; according to transgender guidelines approved by the International Olympic Committee, genitalia does not serve as a prerequisite.

PJ Media brings us the NBC narrative of the wonders of the Hammer and Sickle of the grand empire Russia. As if we could not have one moment of non propaganda during the Olympics, first we have Dear Leader on, then the historical nonsense of this evil empire that slaughtered millions of its people. Great video over at the link. Just in case one missed it.
“The towering presence, the empire that ascended to affirm a colossal footprint. The revolution that birthed one of modern history’s pivotal experiments. But if politics has long shaped our sense of who they are, it’s passion that endures. As a more reliable right to their collective heart. What they build in aspirations lifted by imagination. What they craft, through the wonder of every last detail. How magical the fusion of sound and movement can be. How much a glass of distilled perfection and an overflowing table can matter. Discover the Russian people through these indelible signatures. Discover what we share with them through the games that open here tonight.”
George Orwell, call your office. As he wrote in “Politics and the English Language,” in 1946, such euphemisms are “designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable,” and certainly describing Communism as “one of modern history’s pivotal experiments” fits the bill in spades. Or as Stacy McCain accurately described it this week at the American Spectator,“The Worst Idea in the World”:
Our loss–Well, maybe when the Olympics move to Russia?
Curling is much more fun. Thats the one where they have that thingy where some guys use a couple of brooms and sweep away to some assine goal which no one understands.The women were rejected in 2006 when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) added only one event, ski cross—head-to-head downhill racing that prides itself on being chaotic. Too few ski jumpers was the reason, said the IOC. The women argued numbers: 83 competitors at the elite level from 14 countries, more women than for ski cross, bobsled, snowboard cross, luge or skeleton, according to Women’s Ski Jumping USA, nonprofit volunteers supporting the athletes.
But why would the IOC bar women ski jumpers? Women’s Ski Jumping Vice President Vic Method has a theory: “This is a big macho event in Europe. If suddenly you’ve got these little size-four girls jumping comparable distances, the men don’t look so macho anymore.” When the Vancouver ski jump opened in 2008, Lindsey Van of the U.S. out-jumped the men, setting the record of 105.5 meters on the new 95-meter jump and promising Olympic drama now denied, or at least delayed.
Men have been ski jumping since the early 1800s and were part of the first winter Olympics in 1924. The event is spectacular and scary, especially on the biggest hills. A lone skier sits on a bar atop a 215-meter hill (that’s about 705 feet high). He pushes off and speeds down the 382-foot, snow-covered surface at 64 miles an hour. Then suddenly he’s airborne, flying as far as 784 feet, 40 feet high, hitting the ground with such force that, when things go wrong, we’re reminded of that old “Wide World of Sports” footage about “the agony of defeat.”
Women—ski jumping since the 1880s and in FIS-sanctioned events since 1998—take the same risks as the men. The technical difficulty of their events is the same and their performances are comparable, but they don’t get to compete on the sport’s biggest stage, the Olympics.
“The shock of Chicago’s elimination was greater for the fact that it came in the first round. And greater for the fact that President Obama had taken valuable hours from his packed and tense political schedule to travel to Copenhagen. His legendary powers of persuasion will be said to have failed him, though in reality it will be Chicago’s bid that failed him. Nonetheless, this is a moment which allows the president’s detractors to allege waning prestige on the part of his presidency. And it will raise questions about the political advice that he is receiving.”
His wife tugged at IOC members’ heart strings by discussing her late father, who had multiple sclerosis. She recounted sitting on his lap, watching Olympians such as Carl Lewis and Nadia Comaneci compete, and how her father “taught me how to throw a ball and a mean right hook.”
“My dad would have been so proud to witness these games in Chicago,” she said. Guess What? No one gives a……… bye bye, now you can go back to D.C. and decide what to do with our soldiers for a change.
