I am going to keep BANGING ON about the paris olympics here. ((I guess I will be done now banging on about the olympics nowbecause it is over now.)) And yes in am intentionally not capitalizing both paris and olympic and its different sentence structure variants and anything to do with olympic. Just my little way to protest their total disregard for reality and in this instance sportsmanship. I will continue in this vein, not capitalizing words or names that I find contemptible. Similarly I will be striking through those words that I find offensive. And in that same vein I will be capitalizing and underscoring words that I feel do deserve respect.

I am now hearing that the ioc is hiding behind the passport gender identifier box tick [F] as the gold standard of a (in this instance) boxer's biological sex for their qualification to be in the women's (female) boxing matches. 

It seems to me that if countries would try to sneak a "doped" athlete into the olympic games by using fancy high-level chemistry sets and whatever else is involved with "doping" why wouldn't they just tick the gender [ ] box on a passport with [F] for a male athlete so the newly minted "female" athlete could "bring home the gold" while sending their competition home in a coma. (particularly in the combat sports) I can not imagine the courage took for the Italian Woman Boxer to stand up for herself in front of the World and to call the fight. She knew what was happening to herself and knew enough to not go home in a body bag. I have so much respect for her. I personally think the Italian Woman Boxer should have thrown off the now bullshit olympic boxing rules because the ioc threw off the rules first, and sucker punched the absolute compound living FUCK out of that algerian sheethead when he ever so condescendingly approached the Italian Woman Boxer and patted the Italian Woman boxer on her back with the immortal words of Sheldon Cooper "There there" probably ringing in her ears . ((Incoming update alert It seems that the Italian Woman Boxer has had a change of heart and reconsidered her position on not shaking the algerian shithead's hand after the "fight". Italy probably was informed that ISIS had threatened some terrorist rioting shit. Italy probably received a strongly worded letter from the mayor of paris, the president france, the ioc and ISIS.)) That was not an olympic style points fight That was a man brutalizing a Woman. Again, I think the Italian Woman Boxer should have gone totally berserker mode and I that mean in the truest of ways. The METH crazed ways, PCP crazed ways, Bath Salt crazed ways (Synthetic cathinones what ever the fuck those/that is/are) Total RAGE Berserker action. Empty the dugouts action, refs and security grabbing at her action, carrying her swinging, cursing and spitting action, Fight club action, "dogs and cats living together" (Ghost busters reference) action, Return Home a National Hero action! Bloody up that mans face, disfigured him for life action. Maybe even blinded him in one eye just like the ioc is blind action. She probably would have been thrown ALL the way out of paris and france and boxing for for that matter for"Unsportsmanlike" behavior but in the immortal words of Dead Pool "Worth it".

Algeria does not the money for the big-deal high-level super-secretive doping projects like the Russian or the Chinese do. But a simple paper pushing hack and the male athlete now an [F] in the sex/gender box on his passport and Presto-e-chango, and the WOKE, DEI, feelings before science agenda driven ask no questions  ioc will turn a BLIND eye because of the feelings of country of origin of this freshly minted [F] athlete said so. Corruption alert. The ioc and the world used to be ever  SOOOooo very touchy about blood doping and Illegal performance enhancing substances. What about illegal performance enhancing genetics and chromosomes. Blood doping tests are simple blood tests administered to EVERY athlete. Why would they totally disregard a sex identifier test? Especially now that gender fluidity has gone mainstream. The one true gold standard test for the sex [M] or [F] is a chromosome test. Not based on the feelings of the athlete and not the feelings of the country of origin. Simple Biology.  Its not like they can mess around with this genetic marker specifically for the olympics. They have disqualified so many athletes for blood doping over the years. I hope now chromosomal genetic testing will become standard. But in the immortal words of Mark Twain "I hope it but I doubt it".

It seems to me that if the governing body regulating the world of boxing the, International Boxing Association, the IBA, have rules for this sort of thing. And did in fact disqualify this algerian athlete from competing in the women's category in the world championships for this very reason. Perhaps the ioc should take IBA rules a little more seriously. Not just dismiss them completely out of hand in favor of advancing the WOKE, DEI agenda. The IBA rules are in place of the actual physical safety of the boxers across the Globe, not the feelings of the boxers across the Globe. ((Incoming update alert. It seems that the IBA's ethics is now under intense scrutiny. Lack of financial transparency. Just like every other body of governance on the planet it seems. Go figure.))

The last time I can remember that there was this much DRAMA involving the olympics was the 72 Munich olympics. And ISIS, and their ilk, haven't even have the nerve to try that stunt again. I believe Mossad saw to that. ISIS et al sat by and let paris and the ioc do their work this time. (( Notice that I did capitalize ISIS because they stand up for their principals, as violent and deadly as they are.)) paris and the ioc are just slipery, slimy, unprincipled, greedy fucks. Yea I said it, FUCKS. No principals, no morals, no ethics, no common sense, no sense of right and wrong, no sense of fair play. No sense at all. I thought the whole idea of the olympics was fair play. A level playing field especially in the combative events. But I guess they don't feel that way anymore.

I know that each city takes the opportunity to put their "stamp" on the olympics held in their city. But WOW what a stamp. paris just stomped down on the throat of good taste with this olympiad. And the ioc just showed themselves to be feckless, spinless, woke agenda pushers. This reminds me budlite debacle. I wonder if the mayor of paris is going to stand by the artistic director of this olympic spectacle or quietly fire them and the committee "they" rode in on. I say "they" not because I am being sensitive to their pronoun demands but because I just don't know who this person is. I cant imagine the global internet snooping that is befalling paris and the fucks that let this shit out of the minds (of the fucks who ate some suspect mushrooms in their vegan salads) and onto the drawing boards and then into committee meetings and then out of committee meetings and onto the televisions of the entire world. I really hope that the weapons grade investigation turns up the same level of depravity as was found out about that thomas fuck who had to sue his way on to the team. I mean every other city has had pride in their show. Japan, China, Brazil even Russia put on respectful shows. The opening ceremony is supposed to be a show for the entire world a proud statement about their city, their national heritage, their country and what was and is best in them. Oooooohhh wait just a minute "hole' up"...  I was going to say where is their pride. But then it slapped me in the face that the meaning of the word pride, like so many others lately,  has crept or migrated. (Watch this George Carling video for the true meaning of word creep) I don't know if pride day/month is celebrated the same in Europe or the rest of the world as it is in the USA but perhaps that is what we just saw. First we have pride parades, then we have pride month and now we have pride olympics.

Paris can call their mockery of ALL of things Christian satire or parody or hide it by calling it a live depiction of  "Feast of the Gods" painting supposedly similar to the "Last Supper" by Leonardo Da Vinci. Those paintings, in my opinion, are not nearly similar enough to make that claim. paris has always been a wild and crazy, free wheeling, artsy city so maybe they can hide their shame in that. But I don't think that even the city Amsterdam, a city world renown for being a wild and crazy drug addled Crazy Train Depot would have would have put on that show. 

So the olympics is over now. I am happy to say that I did NOT partake in the closing ceremonies. At the same time I feel a certain level of remorse for not watching those athletes that participated in these olympics. Most of them deserve to be seen and congratulated for that participation.

 Breasts. 

 

    As a member of the non-breast enabled persons gender I will never know the issues surrounding the "ownership" of breasts. Just as I assume that members of the breast enabled persons gender will never know what it is like inside the mind of a testosterone soaked mind.

    Some time in the not totally distant past I saw a YouTube in which a woman who transitioned to a man discusses the sudden difficulty of dealing with a mind that was very preoccupied by thoughts of a sexual nature. The constant analysis of women's forms. She/he (I will never be able to get that straight) discussed the loneliness of being suddenly male. Women seem to typically have a larger network of friends that they maintain on a regular basis. They keep in contact with each other just because they are called to by their nature. Men don't have this nature. men are motivated by the need to solve problems. As a result they don't stay in contact with their male friends unless there is a need, a problem to be solved or a question about a problem that needs to be solved. Which sort of explains why women tend to gravitate to professions that involve a network of individuals helping them. and men tend to gravitate to professions that require problem solving.

 How the HELLLL is break dancing in the olympics and Ballroom dance is NOT?!?!

Ballroom has a very LONG history. I believe that the Waltz has been around for some centuries. Break dancing has only been around for about 40 years.

But as I understand it being in the olympics has something to do with being an armature athlete. I get that. I applaud that. That is what the Olympics is supposed to be about. The Olympics is such a joke now. I don't think Lebron James is an amateur basketball player or any of the USA basketball team for that matter. But some how Ballroom dance is excluded on the basis of the amateur standing of the dancers. Some how I think this, along with So many other things that have caused the Olympics to be a sham and shameful on the world stage. Paris France went WAY out their way with the DEI. Not the least of which is the whole trans athletes Inclusion. A male boxer "fighting" pummeling a woman boxer. 46 seconds. There is NO way in the world that this is in keeping with the spirit of the Olympics. Not keeping with the actual true law. Not keeping to the chromosomal law of nature. Nor, for that matter is the USA basketball team in keeping with the spirit of the olympics. Some how every four years the professional players have their income sheltered to somehow to appear amateur. Not even Al Capone could hide from the IRS but some how Steph Curry can. What kind of turning a blind eye bullshit is this?

It is a true shame because there are so many true Amateur athletes who deserve to be in the Amateur olympics. Surely there are amateur basketball players who deserve to be at the olympics and on the world stage. But money truly rules the world and the olympics is no exception. Nothing, no nation, no government, no politician, no governing body of any kind nothing is immune to the power of money, corruption, scandal, bribery...  Love of money and all of that.

I recently heard several good-bad joke about the olympics; "Bronze, Silver, Gold what color will the Russian gymnastics team's urine be this year?" I imagine Russian athletes who don't score well wont be welcomed "home" but sent to some very remote and very cold Siberian gulag. Which calls to mind the other olympic joke This  joke is about the Chinese athletes, "Don't win, your social credit score will be erased as will your family but they will be literally and permanently erased, erased from all living memory. Right out of the IPhone factory. 

Its soooo sad which is why I will never watch the olympics again. Which is doubly sad for me because I have very fond memories driving across country with my father and catching the olympics in hotel rooms all along the way.  Memories of Olga Corbit going crazy on the balance beam and scoring the first perfect 10 and winning the hearts of everybody in the whole world, not a dry eye on the planet. Olga, with her crooked little smile and crooked (natural colored) teeth and goofy pig tailed hair. I recently saw a picture the USA women's gymnastics team. They all, every last one, had absolutely perfect dentition and every tooth was bleached beyond toilet bowl white, whiter than a white Dwarf Star white, positively luminescent, and their hair was also perfect, not a strand out of place even after their routines. Not a sweat mark on any of them. I wonder just how much Aquanet double-over-extra-super-high-hold-shellac or Flecto Vera-thane they had to use to make that happen. That also makes me wonder if that much shellac use could get a DOT or SNELL motorcycle helmet rating? And how does one sleep with glow in the dark teeth? That bright, are they warm to the touch?

So anyway no more shameful Olympic business for me. Sorry Peacock or who ever paid some exorbitant fee to have their advertisers plaster their logo's and commercials all over the front of my retinas.

 On the decline of the once great city of San Francisco.

When I was young (1965) five years old my mother used to take my friends and I to Ghirardelli Square and Golden Gate park in San Francisco and LEAVE us there while she went and did grocery shopping on the then naval installation commissary on Treasure Island. She would leave us there in the morning say 9:00 am and return at say 3:00 pm. Neither she nor my friends families gave this even a first, second or third thought. There was obviously no thought of kidnapping for sale to sex-slavers. There was no thought murder, there was no thought of introduction to horrible drug experience either just visually or by actual force. She would take us on field-trips to the Haight-Ashbury district, Golden Gate Park, the Japanese Tea Garden, (I loved the novelty of the super high humpy foot bridge) the Exploritorium, The Botanical Gardens, and to the Berkley Modern Art Museum. I loved the Giant Carousel horse ride in The Park. I used to love watching the model boat people sailing in the Big Pond.   I used to love the Antique Bicycle shop there I, my self, would no more consider taking my child to any of these locations now than I would introducing my child to the drug fentanyl. But, now I imaging that if I did take my child to any of these locations I would in fact be introducing them to fentanyl. 

I haven't been to San Francisco recently but I do hear about major department stores leaving. It seems that the once glorious Union Square is no more Glorious than Skid Row. 

Some 30 years ago I used to take my daughter and friends to San Francisco. We would go to Union  Square, Ghirardelli Square, FAO Schwarts, the Pier 39 district. We would ride Cal-Train into The City walk to Powell street Cable Car turn-around and ride around all day long with no worries at all. I don't know if, in hind sight, I was just plain stupid doing that, blinded by the reliving of my youth in those trips. None of the adults concerned were concerned so... I did feel totally safe on those trips.

I will say this though, I was brought up short once in a conversation with a woman friend-co-worker when I told her of a shorty trip to "The City". She was suddenly and visibly very concerned for my safety. That was the first time I had cause to consider the difference between male and female world view with regard to safety. It never occurred to me that The City was an unsafe environment for women. Apparently it was and by extension still is and to an even greater degree to be sure. That is very telling and a great shame.

I cant speak to the decline of The City from personal experience but just like reading about fentanyl I can understand that it is very bad. Similarly I can, by reading about all the "wackiness" of The City, understand that The City is no longer a Great City. 

Unfortunately, it seems the same can be said about many once Great Cities in  America. New York, Chicago, Baltimore and so many others. It is so sad to contemplate this decline in what were once Great American Cities. Once great cities laid low by liberal left-wing politics.

As a quicky footnote I will add that I have been looking at a selection of what I assume are recent pictures of some of these locations and they do not appear to have suffered much of the decline that I am describing. I will hope and assume that the decline is primarily limited to the down town areas and the halls of policy, which is nice.

want vs. need

There is often a great gap between that which I/we want and that which I/we need.

Lately I have been getting a much tighter grip on the need want conundrum. Living only on debit cards will do that for a person. Donating Plasma and driving Uber helps as well.

...ist

The suffix ...ist is an odd thing. In many cases it added to your profession make you good at it. I am a Machinist. when you study to be good at something they add ist to your work. If you study Guitar you are a guitarist, the flute a flutist, after many years in school and you can be a psychologist.

However when you ad ...ist to race you are a raciest, or to sex you are a sexist. These to are practicality a death sentence in today's politically correctness driven society. Not to say that there is any thing even remotely okay about being a raciest or a sexist but where is the difference coming from?

I don't believe that I am a racist. I believe that I am a "Culture-ist". I find a Culture that lives and dies on its vicim-hood to be reprehensible. There are some VERY Crazy ideas being put forward these days surrounding Racism. It seems that the notion of Three meals a day is racist, and the craziest thing that I believe I have EVER heard mathematics is racist. I have watched the You-tube videos that propose these notions many times, I still can not understand the rational behind these claims. There is also a ground swell movement gaining traction where by black persons in America at present are due reparations for the Colonial era slavery that existed in America some 200 years ago. Oddly enough, one of the persons pushing this idea, a Sunny Hostin, co-host on the much maligned day-time talk show, found out that in her ancestors history there are in fact slave "OWNERS". How does she propose to square receiving reparations for colonial era slavery that she feels has somehow caused her some economic harm if she have slave owners in your genealogical past? Will this involve some high level "Racist" Newer Math that will be able to make a full accounting of this? The unfortunate truth is that the city of San Francisco is actually considering a plan that will allocate 5 MILLION Dollars per black person. San Francisco can't even afford to clean shit (actual shit, human fesses, shit) off of its streets. The City recently hosted some big deal APEC Summit meeting nations from around the GLOBE were in attendance. And  the city had actually taken the time and expence to map out where the shit (fesses) was located in the city so that clean up crews could go out and clean it up. Map it out? San Francisco recently, I say recently it took some many years to make this happen, built a public restroom. The city spent 1.7 Million Dollars on a 150 square foot public restroom. Permits to get permits and one environmental and I assume utility impact study after another. Un-fucking-believable! I used to dream of living in San Francisco. Now I cant even dredge up the desire to visit.

While we are talking about suffixes "-phobic" is everywhere. Speak out about any of the LGBTQrstuvwxyz... and you are a "Homo-phobe, a Fat-phobe a Trans-phobe and the list is growing moment by moment it seems. The suffix phobe is used when a person has an irrational fear of what ever you have stapled the suffix to. 

I do not have a fear of rational or otherwise of Gay men, Lesbian women not even in the slightest. I do however have a very serious problem with "Pride Month". There used to be Pride parades and festivals buy now there is an entire month dedicated to Gay Pride. I say Gay pride because I believe that Gay is a blanket term that can be used to cover the whole of the LGBTQrstuvwxyz...crowd. I could be wrong. As much as everything is in a constant state of flux one can never be sure anymore. So no I am, not a Homo-phobe. 

I do not have a fear of Trans individuals. I do however have a very serious issue with trans men insinuating themselves into women's spaces. The most egregious example of this trend is, at least to me, when men self identify as women and weasel their way into women's sports and women's personals spaces. Sports that's pretty simple. If a genetically born male wakes up one day and declares himself to be a female and starts participating in women's sporting events. There has been a TIDAL wave of this happening recently. Everything; swimming, bicycling, weightlifting, virtually any sport that used to be declared a "Woman's" ( by Title 9) event has been infiltrated be trans-men. The most famous example is the Will/Lea Thomas sued his way into the Women's NCAA swimming team in the University of Pennsylvania. He "killed the competition. Crushed every record. Not by fractions of a second either not by portions of a body length Full seconds and Full body lengths. He stole records, titles and most importantly Scholarships. He stole them from deserving young women. 

By personal spaces I mean changing/locker rooms restrooms. Again with the Will Thomas example he is/was a 6'4" fully genitally fully intact male, he was allowed to use the women's locker room. A locker/changing room where in  women are entitled to privacy, safety and dignity. The moment that U Penn NCAA people made the decision to allow Will Thomas to participate on the women's swim team and to allow him to use the woman's locker room they completely stripped the women on the U Penn swim team of all of the privacy, safety and dignity implied by the "Woman's Locker/changing room". And they facilitated the theft of  records, titles and scholarships. I find this morally ethically heinous and atrocious. I would use more vitriolic words here but it's late and I can't dredge them up right now.

This sort of "DEI" is creeping all across the country and world. The alter of inclusion is blood stained in "Gyms" all across the country. Planet Fitness has "Bent the knee" to this alter. They allow any male self identifying as female to use the women's locker room. YMCA gyms have also bent their knee. Fast food restaurant's city parks are experiencing issues with men using the women's restrooms.

Obama "Political alert"

I mentioned some time ago that I don't like Obama very much. I will start enumerating the reasons...

Recently he made the suggestion that soldiers in our army pay for war injuries them selves or with their own insurance. IS he for real? What insurance company is going to insure a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan? Heck even in Texas where that Muslim nutcase shot up the place and 13 soldiers DIED.

Many people knew about him and his leanings but they were too "tolerant" to say any thing. Can call him out because he is a minority and a muslim and that is racism and religious intolerance and we will not stand for that here in America. We will let people die first... but I digress.

Obama wants soldiers to pay for their war injuries them selves but he will, by hook or by crook, cram a new National Medical Health Care Plan down the rest of the countries throat.
