Have a Nice Trip

Here’s a fact: I did not watch one-second of the 2020 Summer Olympics.  Some will view this as blasphemy, others as a badge of honor.  I’ll wear the latter with pride.

 

Exasperated, is probably the best way to describe my not watching, and you may already know why.

 

In the events leading up to the Olympics, several potential athletes felt compelled to produce unwanted and unattractive awareness of themselves.  A few protested the American flag – the very flag under which they are participating, one promised to burn the American flag if they won, and several more knelt during the playing of the American National Anthem.

 

While you can’t govern poor taste, you can weed out the malcontents.  The Olympic torch hadn’t been extinguished before some companies decided it may be time to think about the fans as well as the athletes.

 

A business called Subway sells submarine sandwiches that are mediocre, at best.  They sell franchises to the public who then operate them at the behest of Subway corporate headquarters.

 

Subway HQ appeared to have jumped the gun with its advertising and enlisted the USA Women’s Soccer Team to advertise for them.  At least one woman thereon, Megan Rapinoe, an outspoken lesbian with dyed hair, was one of the USA athletes that knelt for the National Anthem.

 

Evidently, she was protesting racism.  In the event you never saw her, she is white.  Not normally being a betting man, I’d wager Rapinoe hasn’t been discriminated against because of her race, ever.

 

Nonetheless, America was subjected to a parade of “woke” self-anointed do-gooder, anti-American types, attempting to explain her child-like shenanigans away for weeks prior to The Games.  And what a poor job they did.

 

I’ll spare you the event details, but the story continues.  Those Subway franchisee owners felt that Rapinoe was a less-than-ideal selection for representing their businesses, and protested to corporate HQ to drive their message home.

 

This morning, over coffee, I heard about President Joseph Robinette Biden’s American troop removal from Afghanistan.  This essentially ended a 20-year occupation of a Middle Eastern toilet.

 

Since 2001, the number of coalition troop deaths in Afghanistan numbers 3,500, with more than 20,000 U.S, soldiers injured.  Our mission there was to exact revenge upon for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on United States soil.

 

Once again, I’ll spare you the details of the mechanics of this quagmire.  But I’d like to wade into something very interesting.

 

Code Pink is a Leftist international organization that is opposed to wars.  Period.  So beginning in 2001, Code Pink felt it necessary to badger then-President George W. Bush.  After all, he started that war – kinda.  In fact, he retaliated for the murder of over 3,000 innocent American civilians on 9/11/2001.

 

The mainstream media (MSM) was all over this story, just like they were all over the Rapinoe story, on the subject of hating America and its residents.

 

Code Pink set up a “permanent” booth across the street from The White House to continually remind people about the horror of Bush’s war to prevent another terrorist attack.

 

Biden’s announcement of the U.S. pullout of Afghanistan was done well in advance of his target date of 9/11/2021.  Not an arbitrary date, but rather very specific to his grandstanding to inflict more discomfort on former President Donald Trump.

 

Today we are weeks away from that magic 9/11/2021 number.  And Afghanistan is crumbling.  Biden’s generals are stuttering while attempting to explain away the total collapse of that blood-soaked country.  His press secretary is on vacation, her whereabouts unknown.  Biden, himself, is on vacation in Delaware as well as Camp David.  His Secretary of State is clueless.

 

Potential U.S. citizens from Afghanistan
who will be proud Americans

But the amusing part of all this is the MSM has declared this violent Afghanistan overthrow, somewhat peaceful.  Videos of Afghanis desperately clinging to exiting military planes, an Air Force C-17 cargo jet packed with nearly 500 people over its limit, and indigents pleading for help out of fear of execution, are plastered around the internet.

 

With all this riotous behavior, no one is reminding Americans – all of us – that Rapinoe and her associated whiners, flag disgracing, nation maligning clowns, still have a better life here, much as do Code Pink and its gaggle of irritating women with a perpetual gripe.

 

In Afghanistan, those same people would be stoned, beaten, jailed or executed for such heinous crimes as homosexuality, protesting, and disrespecting their national flag.

 

Here’s my idea: let all those Americans who feel slighted or those hankering to make others aware, move to Afghanistan.  There’s plenty of room there, and I’ll wager, again, you will be welcomed with open arms.  See ya!
