“What I am not OK with is having her considered a hero by some people.”
Yeah, that part is ridiculous. And her and at least 1 other saying they are only competing for themselves. While the US pays for everything so they can be there.
Now, THIS is a hero: I didn’t pay much attention at the time, but it looks like she did compete with a pretty severe injury.

Things were looking up early on; then Strug’s teammate, Dominique Moceanu, fell twice, evaporating the American lead. The Russians were looking at another victory when Strug’s turn at the vault came up.
Strug leapt into the air, landing on her back and injuring her ankle. Strug’s run had ended badly. After dismounting the vault apparatus, she had landed awkwardly, a loud crack coming from her left ankle. The bone had been moved forward, severing her medial and lateral ligaments.
As she limped away, Károlyi screamed at her from behind a barricade: “We need it, we need it! Shake it out!”
Running the 75 feet leading to the vault, she jumped into a back handspring that was executed without error. When she landed, another crack could be heard from her ankle. She held her pose just long enough to get the judges’ recognition before she collapsed.
The jump improved her score to 9.712. The U.S. team had made history by beating the second-place Russians by a margin of just over eight-tenths of a point.
Doctors weren’t sure how much of the damage to Strug’s foot was the result of the first jump and how much was exacerbated by the second. The ankle was slow to heal.
That’s good to know we still have some patriotic athletes. Yes, I would happily share those on.
Hi polly!
I have been mad at Catholic Charities for quite some time. In the bush era they were taking in a lot of illegals. And getting a ton of money for it! Looks like nothing has changed.

“New subpoenas out and Dominion says they won’t comply. Maybe a referral to the AG for a Grand Jury would be a good move.”
They better fast-track the grand jury. This is already taking way too much time. There should be jail time for those ignoring subpoenas. Whatever happened to consequences?
Very scary. One of my sons and one granddaughter has been vaccinated.
Thanks! We already expected it, and so did he.
What we need is for Europe to quit using the vaccines, citing cases like this. Otherwise the administration here will never stop pushing them.
Poor man (in linked article) got Pfizer.
Died after his first shot.
With his history it’s sickening that this experimental shot was even given/recommended.
But....that’s what they’re doing with just about everyone, now....recommending these agents :-(
How many trillions are for social justice? 🙃
More spending to cut inflation! Sarcasm.
Brother can't understand why we have not been vaxed.
My thoughts exactly.
Yes....they (CC) AND a “Baptist” group were housing/feeding/distributing these illegals during Jorge Bush AND 0blama eras.
Lots of threads about it, at the time.
Disgusting.

Guess it's time to dust that off, again. I'd been holding out 😩
This is going the way of every other investigation into Dim corruption. Put it on the list with the Durham Report

That's a good one! You crack me up!
So, was the total infestation from the China Virus, or from the vaccine?
Wow.......THAT is an impressive crowd!
Size, attitude and message 😂
Well, that good news. Especially since he “won” the state.
