San Antonio - Brittney Griner, the American basketball star detained by Russian authorities in February, has safely returned to the United States after being released from custody in a prisoner exchange.
Griner, 32, “arrived at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas early Friday … and was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center for a routine evaluation,” a State Department official told CNN.
US officials who met Griner said she was “in good spirits” and “incredibly gracious,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told CNN. Griner stepped off the plane shortly after 5:30 a.m. ET at Kelly Field.

While I'm happy for her and her friends and family ... a Siberian penal colony isn't a five-star Club Med ... ol' Uncle Joe got a bad deal on this one. It should have been at least Griener and the ex-marine for the merchant of death. Not Greiner and a sack of cash for the merchant.
As somebody long ago told me, the best deals you make are often the ones you don't make.

Coming to a movie theater near you. Think "Midnight Express" but very, very woke. Probably affirmational.

I’m happy for her and her loved ones but I hope they offer prayers for Paul Whelan and others left behind (yes, I’m being optimistic).

Sure... "gracious" now. Soon to be snarly hate-America on national television.

Everyone is 'so happy she's back'. Yesterday, you wouldn't have been able to name anything she'd done for the country. Guess why!

Brittney is a transgender man. Listen to the deep voice he has right after getting out of prison. They don't give hormone therapy in a Russian prison so his voice went back to a man's voice.

Russia got back someone valuable to them, America got back a hater so irrelevant that this represented the first time a WNBA trade has ever made the news. I bet over 99% of America couldn't you what team Griner plays for.

She is black and a lesbian. She was checking the same boxes that would qualify her for a dem political job. The other guy not so much. White, male, military. Three strikes against him right off the bat. FJB and the dems would not be able to handle all the racist name calling if they had not traded for her. Another puke worthy decision by this clown car administration. So much butt kissing going on.

Why is “she” getting treated at a U.S. Army medical facility? As a veteran, I’m offended by this.

Any deaths caused by the released terrorist will be blood on her hands proximately caused by her need for drugs where they are illegal. She had full notice but was too arrogant and uncaring to restrain her/itself.
Not that she would notice/care about any blood other than her own.

Ms Griner was flown back to the USA on a 2000 Gulfstream GV owned by Tannjets Aerospace out of Miami. The tail number is N588AT. I'm guessing that we the taxpayers paid for the flight which had to cost thousands of dollars.

We'll soon see whether Ms. "They didn't even read me my RIGHTS!" has learned anything from her experience.

Maybe the angry seven foot lesbian learned a little humility from the Rooskies.

Did the Big Guy get his ten percent cut?
President Braindead's puppeteers are doing a smashing job of destroying America, in economic AND diplomatic circles. But I'm inclined to accept Bolton's assessment of whether we should have made Whelan's release a priority.

Not being an expert on Siberian penal colonies..the pix taken where she was in the cafeteria line, sitting at a table eating.making her bed with what looked
like white sheets..in a modern setting..is that what a gulag with hardly any facilities and 100 lashes looks like.??? I think not..did we get played regarding how awful the conditions were where she was???

If she learned anything over the past year, she will thank America and kick the drug habit.
We shall see.
