Runner banned from Olympics over burrito

Well, folks, it's a stupid world we live in. You can't deny that!

It's bad enough that the International Olympic Committee likes authoritarians, causing them to often hold the Olympics in countries with authoritarian governments - like the 2022 Winter Olympics, which will be held in Beijing. Even when the Olympics are in a country that isn't particularly authoritarian, the committee still manages to bungle it. They not only delayed the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo until this summer but have also strictly limited capacity and banned cheering - even as COVID-19 has become just a memory.

What's the point of even having the Olympics if it can't have in-person fans?

Now Shelby Houlihan - a record-setting runner who was a favorite for America's Olympic team - is being disqualified from the Olympic trials, and won't be in the Olympics. She has spent her entire life practicing for the Olympics, and now her dream has been dashed. She was disqualified and received a 4-year suspension from running because she tested positive for a banned steroid.

Why did she test positive? It was because of a pork burrito she got from a food stand. She tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone because this substance was used in the pig meat in the burrito.

Since it was first allowed in the mid-'90s, we've been pumping our food supply with steroids, artificial hormones, and other substances. So much of our diet is made up of frankenfoods now that it's hard to avoid consuming these substances. Yet Olympic officials keep trying to make examples of athletes by punishing them for what's in our food supply.

I think these frankenfoods have had a negative biological impact on people, especially those young enough to have been raised on them. This - combined with the elitist media's stage-managing of social mores - seems to have had a disastrous effect on people's behavior and health. If potential Olympic athletes are punished for ingesting frankenfoods, maybe the factory farming industry should be punished just as severely for introducing steroids into our food supply.

Time to abolish Department of Homeland Security

Has the Department of Homeland Security ever accomplished a single positive thing?

I used to like certain public figures and ideas, but occasionally I'll grow more brain cells, and I find that I can't believe I ever honored their idiocy. You live, you learn. More often, however, once-respected figures will sell out to appease wealthy donors. But in the 20 years since the Department of Homeland Stupidity was created, I've been consistent in my view that this department should be abolished.

This department was founded as George W. Bush's personal plaything. (The Democrats would like that, since they're always praising Bush these days.) The Transportation Security Administration is part of the DHS, and anyone who has traveled on a U.S. commercial airliner even once in the past 20 years knows firsthand what a disaster the TSA is.

Rather than international terrorism carried out using earlier methods, America faces a bigger threat from domestic terrorism. International terrorism is more likely to be modern cyberterrorism like the Chinese Communist Party's ransomware attacks. And, while more traditional right-wing domestic terrorists are still at large, domestic terrorism is sure to soon encompass those who try to enforce lockdown culture as COVID martial law lifts. Government resources should be focused first and foremost on the greatest threats.

In fact, the Justice Department recently began a probe of white supremacists within the DHS. How can the DHS be trusted to fight terrorism when it's full of violent racists?

About the only time I ever hear about the DHS is when it bullies local governments into closing paths and bridges - which hurts nearby residents.

And what the hell does the TSA do besides manhandle air travelers? I can't think of anything useful it does. Much of what the TSA does has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism in any form. As a society, we should reject the sort of toxicity that the TSA fosters.

Free societies are supposed to honor certain principles. The TSA and the broader DHS violate these values. They violate free movement, free assembly, bodily autonomy, and local control.

Facebook just acted stupid

Hahaha, Facepoo has informed me that they just deleted a post I made about police brutality way back in 2013 because it was "spam."

ViacomCBS funds effort against Newsom recall

This is yet another reason why we need to reverse the Citizens United ruling and forbid corporations from funding political campaigns.

The pandemic has proven what an incompetent clown California Gov. Gavin Newsom is. Even many of his former supporters won't back him now. But the campaign against his recall has received $40,000 from Paramount Pictures. A Paramount spokesperson said the contribution actually came from Paramount's parent company, ViacomCBS.

A media company that has a major news operation is donating to a political campaign? That's a red flag right there.

For CBS being so Republican for such a long time before the pandemic, they manage to pick the very worst Democrats to support.

The company also gave $5,000 to the California Democratic Party - which as far as I'm concerned is equivalent to the Republicans. The Democrats are controlled opposition.

Though Newsom whines that the effort against him is a "Republican recall", let me tell you something: It isn't. I support it too.

Bert said the F-word ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

This ranks right up there with the time Mister Rogers extended his middle finger!

You may remember this 'Sesame Street' segment, which is one of many where Ernie wakes up Bert over something stupid...



In that skit, Ernie wakes up in the middle of the night, whips out his typewriter, places it on Bert's bed, and writes a poem.

But listen closely at 10 seconds into the clip. In fact, you really don't need to listen that closely, because it's unmistakable. Bert declares, "Fuck!"

I remember in one of the segments where Bert and Ernie go to a movie theater, Bert gets in a big argument with other patrons at the end. The F-word seemed to be tossed around there too, but it wasn't quite as obvious.

Yet another utility rate hike looms

Watch your wallet!

Duke Energy is choosing this era of lockdown-induced recession to ask for yet another rate increase for its northern Kentucky customers. This one would apply to natural gas and hike rates by 12.7%.

I'm sure it'll be approved, because.

If the lockdown cult gave a damn about anyone's life, they'd fight against this. Instead they sit around in just their underpants all day.
