Biathlon competitor Valeria Vasnetsova has had it with the poor food and shoddy service.

Dang! That food pic looks worse than POW rations in Vietnam. If I sat that down in front of my dog she would probably bite me, and I would deserve it.

This could end up as a tremendous eye-opener for a lot of folks if the athletes are able to tell these stories when they arrive back home.

If we don’t hear them we will know we have nothing but enemies in our media.

(Narrator: We probably won’t be hearing these stories)

Are you kidding? That seems like a progressive democrats Utopia. From the state according to the needs of each. This is exactly how “Democrat Build Back Better” looks when applied. Complain and they take away that extra blanket on your issued cot.

The Chinese could have chosen the 1936 Berlin model—make friends and influence people....

but they decided to go the other way....don’t have to worry about one of those Jesse Owens incidents if you declare that he tested positive so off to quarantine he goes....

The show horses don’t like it.

But China wanted their party before WWIII started, so there you go.

I do believe we have the new standard for the Whitehouse Press Corps daily catered lunch. How dare they complain?!

So the elite athletes of the generation, from across the world, have “voluntarily” donated their DNA to the Red Army’s version of DARPA. Didn’t the CIA under Trump publicly report China is working on genetic enhancement of their soldiers? And it isn’t Sci-Fi. Think CRISPR, etc.

The US will look just like that if “change” goes on unchecked.

Saw on a news channel today, a picture of what the CCP is serving as food to US athletes. Unappetizing tray of food worse than what Sasquatch Obama was pushing on US kids at school. The person who texted the picture said some other country’s athletes are getting acceptable food.

Coming soon to a totalitarian regime near you! First, the PRC, then PRC (Politically Repressive Canada), and eventually XiJinBiden’s USSA.

The Chinese have read The Art of War. I doubt that the IOC has.
