MACDONALD: A Promise Kept to Push Back on a Lie

March 28, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Last November, I reported on an announcement by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s competitions. The move began last year, after World Athletics required anyone competing as a woman to undergo a genetic test. The IOC met to discuss and announced its plan to require a test that … Read more

CARDELLO: A Tale of Two Very Different Winter Olympians

February 23, 2026 Ray Cardello

I do not get excited about the Olympics. The spectacle was diminished for me when it became an event for professional athletes, and many are prima Donna professionals at that. There was something magical about amateur athletes who sacrificed so much to have a shot at hearing their national anthem and maybe their picture on … Read more

Paris Olympics Displays Climate Change Hypocrisy

August 9, 2024 John Klar

As the site of the Summer Olympics, Paris naturally continues to espouse the climate change policies espoused in the Paris Accords. As such, the city has set a goal of zero-use plastic and banned single-use plastic bottles from the Olympic Games Paris 2024. Revelations that Coca-Cola has been exempted from this stricture and that some … Read more

Teen Girl ‘Transitioned’ From Healthy to Paralyzed after Transgirl Brained her with a Volleyball

August 3, 2024 Steve MacDonald

We may have missed an opportunity here. Transition. Great word. To change from one form, state, style, or place to another. Public education transitioned from teaching kids reading and math to making them mentally dysphoric political activists. Democrats transitioned the American economy from a private-sector job-creating energy-independent machine into the geo-economic equivalent of Dementia Joe … Read more

Paris CA (Climate Accord) Out the Window as Teams Bring AC (Air Conditioners) To Paris Olympics

June 25, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The people in charge of the summer Olympics (in Paris) are getting a charge out of an Olympic village with NO Air conditioners. They installed a series of cooling pipes under the floors, but the US Olympic Team, Germany, Australia, Italy, Canada, and Britain have their own ideas.

On October 27, the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation is hosting a fundraising luncheon to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Title IX which prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funding. For decades Title IX has helped women’s sports to flourish and allowed countless women to follow their passion in sports. Perversely, the New … Read more

Russia, Boycotts, and Sports

March 13, 2022 Michael Moffett

So Chinese dictator Xi Jinping asked Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to hold off on invading Ukraine until after Beijing’s Winter Olympics. Putin generously postponed the bloodshed to accommodate his Communist buddy’s request.

NBC 2022 Olympics Fail – Nearly 50% Fewer Viewers Than 2018 Games

February 27, 2022 Steve MacDonald

My only awareness of what happened in the first two weeks of February was that either China or actual online interest in the Olympics suppressed our overnight traffic. I was not alone in my disinterest.

As Predicted, Media Says Snowless Olympics (In a Place That Gets no Snow) is Proof of Global Warming

February 15, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Two weeks ago, before the Olympics started (I missed them on purpose too), we warned you that the media would blame the lack of snow on global warming. While (get this) running parallel reports about how bitter cold it is.

A Gold Medal for Racism

March 20, 2022February 5, 2022 Kensley Vitoria

The 2022 Winter Olympics are kicking off in Beijing. Many have coined these games in a highly controversial manner as the “Genocide Games.” They are taking place close to the second anniversary of the Coronavirus Project. The global movement sponsored by the UN, WHO and WEF to rebrand the common cold. In the United States, … Read more

Media Will Blame Lack of Natural Snow at Winter Olympics on Climate Change But That’s Another Lie

January 29, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The People’s Republic Olympics are fast approaching, and if you are focused on the hyper-virulent NeoCOVID variant release conspiracy, it’s time to expand your arsenal.

Against the Athletes – There Is No Scientific Basis for Vaccinating Those with the Strongest Immunity

March 20, 2022January 13, 2022 Kensley Vitoria

Sports and athletics. This is a major global industry that has defined the course of the planet. Our collective global civilization has championed sports for the past century. These games and pursuits have become predominant leisure activities and interests for billions of people.

Data Point – Olympic Medals by Sport and Age

August 22, 2021 Skip

I have to admit that I’ve lost interest in the Olympics. Especially this year as there were those US Athletes that were so self-absorbed as to think that WE have to listen to THEIR diatribes if they were to medal and get up on the podium. We want to praise them for their determination and … Read more

Life with Liz – School Board Showdown: The I’m Not Taking it Anymore Edition

July 15, 2024August 11, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Liz and I talked later on – the segment worked but…Normally, a host asks a question or throws out an idea or scenario and looks for a short, pithy response. After all, it’s THEIR show, not mine or any other guest or caller.

Hockey, Hoop, Nascar, And Flags

July 22, 2021 Michael Moffett

I tuned into to NBC’s Sports Channel to watch NASCAR’s Foxwoods 301 which ran on July 18 in beautiful Loudon, N.H., but the race was temporarily rain-delayed. So I expertly deployed my remote control device and two clicks later found a Montreal Canadien hockey player checking a Tampa Bay Lightning player into the boards.

Gwen Berry looks away from flag during anthem

Decade-Old Tweets Show Athlete Gwen Barry Might Just be a Mean Gurl

July 3, 2021 Steve MacDonald

There is ample justification for believing that giving jerks attention may be what they want and not what they need. I agree that this position holds water, but after over 12 years of blogging, I can say with confidence that the other side of that is often worth the “price.”

Poll Results – Should Gwen Berry Get Tossed From the US Olympic Team?

July 2, 2021 Steve MacDonald

We have done a poll in a while. Election time poll weariness. Both readers and Groksters. But this seemed like a good opportunity to do one. A wealthy, accomplished athlete gets political on the podium and disses her nation and its flag.

Poll Question – Should Flag-Hating Millionaire Athlete Gwen Berry Be Kicked off the US Olympic Team?

June 30, 2021June 29, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Gwen Berry is offended by the National Anthem and the American flag. And that’s up to her, I suppose, but she is an elite millionaire, American athlete who is still competing to represent that nation, anthem, and flag.

Well, President Asterisk has just made this US Policy, right? And no one has a choice about it.

February 12, 2021February 11, 2021 Skip

That’s my favorite question nowadays: “Who Chooses”? Do you chose for yourself or are others (in Government) taking that choice away from you? Under which regimen do you want to live your life? Yep, President Biden, via Executive Order, just decided to wipe out women’s participation in their own sports, especially at the highest level of sports.
