Berry: Psaki says Biden respects her

White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended hammer thrower Gwen Berry's right to 'peacefully protest,' after the Tokyo-bound athlete turned her back on the US flag during Olympic trials. Psaki told Fox News' Peter Doocy at Monday's press briefing that while she and President Joe Biden hadn't spoken specifically about the incident, Biden is 'incredibly proud to be an American and has great respect for the anthem and all that it respresents, especially for our men and women serving in uniform all around the world.' 'He would also say, of course, that part of that pride in our country means recognizing there are moments

The junta has spoken. Can ordinary slobs protest by, say, refusing to pay the taxes that support these communist pigs?

I just heard this thought on the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton (successors to Rush) show. Imagine this scenario at the actual Olympics: a Chinese athlete wins an event, an American takes the silver. As the Chinese anthem is being played, the American on the podium takes a knee. Do you think the stupid woke folk would uphold the American's right to "express themselves"?

So Gwen, the second loser in Hammer throw, has a temper tantrum over the National Anthem. She couldn't just just take a knee like everyone else, she had to be a drama queen and really show her contempt for the country that allows her earn money throwing hammers. Nope, she had to sway and act like a two year old, putting a shirt over her head. She says don't put words into my mouth about hating the country. Its not her words that makes everyone think she hates the USA. It is her actions. Berry shows nothing but contempt for the US with her comments and actions. Nobody is making her represent the US as she certainly does not represent us.

So Jen Psaki with the silent "P" says its OK to hate your country which is a lie. I wonder what else she is lying about. I noticed that "America Hater Gwen Berry", came in third place...so there is an excellent chance we won't have to see her fat ugly rear-end again when she has to face some real competition.

Well, she achieved what she wanted to achieve, and that's to draw attention to she. After all, doubtful she has much of a chance to be on any Olympic podium considering she came in THIRD in this event. Glad to see today's democrats are okay with turning your back on the flag that represents the country you live in, and had a desire to represent on the world stage. How sad for those people who support that notion.

Regarding Reply 22: According to a September, 2020 article from the Washington Post, Berry lost 75 percent of her funding after her clenched fist demonstration on the medal stand while the Anthem played at the 2019 Pan American Games. This sponsorship loss includes being dumped by leftist, social activist Nike. That is out of character for Nike, who gushes over Colin Kaepernick.

It is demoncrats who have never lived up to American ideals. They have no love of country, patriotism, or care for their fellow Americans. Everything to them is about political power. After starting a civil war, enacting Jim Crow laws, terrorizing blacks and republicans to repress their votes and political power with the Klan, enacting segregation to keep blacks as second-class citizens and opposing every civil rights law and amendment ever passed, we should never have to hear a word from them about living up to American ideals.

A tourist from South America was attacked by a homeless person who hit him in the head with a metal pipe near Manhattan’s Port Authority Midtown Bus Terminal Wednesday. The 66-year-old man, who is from Columbia, was walking with his family at West 40th Street and 8th Avenue at 11:40 a.m. when Wayne Lawton Welds allegedly approached him from behind and whacked him on the head with the blunt object, police said. The victim’s daughter scared off Welds, 25, after the unprovoked attack, and the suspect fled into the subway, according to the NYPD. The tourist was treated for a head laceration at Bellevue Hospital,

A Black Jewish diversity chief at a nonprofit group for children’s book authors resigned amid backlash after she neglected to specifically condemn Islamophobia in a statement denouncing antisemitism. April Powers, chief equity and inclusion officer at the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, issued a statement this month saying the organization denounces “all forms of hate, including antisemitism,” citing an uptick in crimes against Jewish people. Critics apparently took issue with Islamophobia not being specifically mentioned in the statement. Ms. Powers apologized in a statement announcing her resignation Sunday, saying she “neglected to address the rise in Islamophobia, and deeply regret that omission.”

America’s most iconic youth organizations–the Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of the USA–have been jolted by unprecedented one-year drops in membership, due partly to the pandemic, and partly to social trends that have been shrinking their ranks for decades. Membership for the BSA’s flagship Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA programs dropped from 1.97 million in 2019 to 1.12 million in 2020, a 43% plunge, according to figures provided to The Associated Press. Court records show membership has fallen further since then, to about 762,000. The Girl Scouts say their youth membership fell by nearly 30%, from about 1.4 million in 2019

Vogue, the world's fashion bible, has placed Jill Biden on her cover as the epitome of fashion. She's a "goddess," they explain. Which is a stretch, given that the first lady has sported getups like this loud red zebra print dress, or these huge-print patterned pantyhose worn with elfin spike heel ankle boots. It goes to show that its whole schtick is politics, not fashion. After all, the big fashion bible for the world's stylish somehow managed to overlook the nation's truly stylish first lady, Melania Trump, a former super-model, who not only was quite beautiful, but age-appropriate and elegant in her four years as first lady.
