After his spokeswoman defended blatant rules-breaker Gwen Berry, an Olympic athlete who turned her back on the U.S. flag at an awards podium, Joe Biden now says he’s all in for the Olympic rules for everyone else.
That’s the only thing to be concluded with his latest statement here, as reported by the Daily Caller : President Joe Biden said “rules are rules” when asked about Sha’Carri Richardson’s suspension from the Olympic Team following a positive drug test. “Everybody knows what the rules were going in,” the president told reporters. “Whether those should remain the rules is a different issue.” Richardson, if you haven’t been following, is one of those examples of “hard cases.” She tested positive for marijuana use following her biological mother’s death, and received a disproportionate, draconian punishment for it from U.S. Olympic officials, who effectively ousted her from any hopes for an individual medal the Olympics coming up in Tokyo. She was Team USA’s top runner with a strong prospect for a gold medal, and responded to what must have been a horrific disappointment, with grace and class: “I apologize,” Richardson said on NBC’s “Today” show . “As much as I’m disappointed, I know that when I step on the track I represent not only myself, I represent a community that has shown great support, great love. … I apologize for the fact that I didn’t know how to control my emotions or deal with my emotions during that time.” Now in come Joe Biden to play Mr. Rulemaster, suddenly all in for rules for Richardson.
That would be the same Joe Biden whose spokesweasel, Jen Psaki said this last week, according to the New York Post: “I haven’t spoken to the president specifically about this, but I know he’s incredibly proud to be an American and has great respect for the anthem and all that it represents, especially for our men and women serving in uniform all around the world,” Psaki said at her daily press briefing.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
