...That sound the US team hears in the distance is the sound of their endorsements drifting off into the void.
This may well be the worst soccer team we've sent to the Olympics in decades, and I have not the slightest sympathy nor comfort for them. They spent their time practicing protests instead of penalty kicks, and preening about with raised fists and wokeness instead of drills. As Chris said, let them fall into obscurity - there is no worse or more fitting sanction for what they've done.

I've read some bitter lefty comments here and there about the satisfaction many people are getting from this team's loss. It goes right past them that they are just feeling the same way we do when they crap all over America with their woke bullsh*t.

Thank you President Trump currently in exile.
You nailed it as usual. The media attention hungry Purple Hairs fell flat on their faces.
I have to seriously ask something many likely are wondering.
Is this best the USA has to offer? Or were they pick for their Far Left Leanings and Anti-USA political agenda ?
[National Pulse] An Asia Society effort — advised by several Chinese Communist Party-linked individuals — has partnered with schools across the U.S. to shape curricula and teaching faculty to become consistent with a "social justice" approach to education that encourages "teaching activism" in favor of left-wing causes such as "equity," "globalism," and "unraveling systemic racism."
Based in the U.S., the Asia Society describes its mission as "preparing Asians and Americans for a shared future" and is favored by current and former high-level Chinese Communist Party officials.
The group’s Center For Global Education outlines its mission as "transforming education to build a more just and equal society" and partners with schools and school districts throughout the U.S. to do so. The center is expected to reach 4,000,000 students and 100,000 educators through various partnerships including dictating curricula and establishing schools alongside the Department of Education in states such as Ohio and Colorado.
Serving on the center’s board, however, are several Chinese Communist Party apparatchiks. The co-chair of the effort, Yu Lizhong, is the former president of two Chinese Communist Party-run universities and has held leadership roles at several state-run groups:
The map below demonstrates the coast-to-coast reach of the program, which arose out of a 2015 agreement between Asia Society President and CEO Josette Sheeran and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Director-General Irina Bokova.
The United Nations and Chinese Communist Party-backed effort has led to the adoption of "social justice" teaching methods, as outlined in a 2018 curricula guide published by the Asia Society.
The document also reveals how this ideology has even permeated the hiring process for teachers, as Denver Center for International Studies (DCIS) principal Vanessa Acevedo admits to hiring people who are "committed to social justice and equity":

“When the history of NYU Shanghai is written, one name will be on almost every page: Yu Lizhong,” ]Communist aparatchik from his youth] said Andrew Hamilton, president of New York University. “Over his tenure as chancellor, Chancellor Yu’s leadership has enabled NYU Shanghai to blossom into a vibrant success, with award-winning faculty and students, research centers and curricular innovations that benefit the entire NYU ecosystem, and an atmosphere of dynamism and inclusion that blends the best attributes of China, the United States, and all of the nations represented on its campus into a true community. We will be forever grateful for his wisdom and leadership.”

Fox's method of down-sizing and getting rid of people who are deemed not team players?--Accuse them of racism or sexual harassment? Seems like this has been going on for a long time. For other MSM networks this is a feature and not a bug.
[AOL] Laurel Hubbard, a transgender weightlifter from New Zealand, was knocked out of the women’s 87+ kilogram competition early after failing on all three of her attempts.
Hubbard failed on her first attempt to get 120-kg above her head, bailing out early. On her second attempt at 125kg, she was able to get the weight up and pumped her fist after in satisfaction, however judges ruled it a "no lift."
She returned quickly for another attempt at 125kg only to fail to be able to stand up with the weight above her head. Hubbard was the only one of the 13 finalists to not complete at least one lift.
After the bar fell to the ground, she patted her chest and made a heart out of her hands as a signal to those in attendance and, presumably, anyone watching around the world.
Hubbard has generated enormous attention in the run-up to the 87+kg finals. Her presence has sparked debates about whether transgender athletes should be included, and by what standards, in the Olympics against concerns about what is fair to the other competitors.
In the middle is limited scientific research concerning the advantages for the transgender athletes, especially those who didn’t transition until after they went through puberty as a male.
The International Olympic Committee has said it will unveil a new framework on the issue soon, calling its current policy "outdated."
In the interim, Hubbard took the stage here inside a theatre in central Tokyo, where no fans but plenty of media from around the world were there to watch.
What advantages Hubbard had were impossible to know, especially in lieu of her performance.
She stood out on age alone, though; at 43 she was by far the oldest of the 13 finalists. American Sarah Elizabeth Robels was 33 but everyone else was in their 20s, including six competitors aged 21 or younger.
The IOC is still wrestling with the issue. Its guidance will determine the standards applied by many individual sports federations, such as, in this case, the International Weightlifting Federation.
"What's really important to remember is that trans women are women," said Richard Budgett, director of the IOC’s medical and scientific department. "And so, in the spirit of inclusion in sport, if at all possible, they should be included in sport.
"It's only where there's evidence of real concern — that that would lead to a disproportionate performance advantage for those individuals — should any rules and regulations come in to change that eligibility," Budgett said. "The IOC is determined to increase inclusion in sport as one of the fundamentals, but at the same time our highest, highest priority is fairness."

The courts for the most part have not supported police who take down bystanders filming incidents. Unless the one recording is way too close and fails to give the officers sufficient space. Some lawyer is going to get a big commission.
Pre-Video
Officers said they were trying to stop Crudup for illegally parking when he struck an officer with his motor scooter while attempting to flee the scene.
Video + 4
Suspect Dalonta Crudup (the Scooter owner/driver) is seen via Royal Palm Hotel security Camera FLEEING Police into a elevator. Where he is stopped and ordered to place himself on the ground. He did so at this point w/o incident.
A lot of additional (about 9+) Police then arrived on scene at the Royal Palm Hotel in South Beach where the arrest was already in progress.
Video 25+
At this point the suspect and police arresting him and reportedly turned physical and the suspect is now strongly resisting.
At + 33 seconds there is a pile of police surrounding him and he is still fighting with them. As can be seen from the video a police is knock back several feet and others are being pushed up and back away from him (resisting arrest)
Khalid Vaughn the FB/BoobTube Videographer wanta-be is now seen.
At (1m 18s)
A police officer is seen to what appears to be kicking. But note the officers footing and the skirmish still in progress.
At 1m 45s+
The suspect is lifted off the floor and still resisting. The suspect appears to shake away from the officer holding him, thus falling to the floor.
At 2m 16s
The suspect is still being combative
==============================================
NOTES:
1. Given Dispatch and the Watch commander must have been involved given the number of Police at the scene. It is pretty clear the suspect Dalonta Crudup obviously fled a good distance and across several patrol areas.
2. GOOGLED his "latest" Mugshot doesn't look like he was kicked or was visibly harmed in any shown manner.
3. No stranger to Felony resisting Arrest and run-ins with the law.
4. Tracked him back to a Gun/Drug Distribution related arrest back in Sunday, January 12, 2020 Incident in DC.
Metro-DCIn that incident Officers eventually wrestled the backpack from Crudup and found marijuana, cash, and an M&P pistol, the sworn statement says. Crudup was charged with carrying a pistol without a license. A Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard .380 caliber handgun was recovered in the 2500 block of 14th Street, Northeast. The following person was arrested: 23-year-old Dalonta Valeri Crudup, of Silver Spring, MD, for Carrying a Pistol without a License, Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Possession of Unregistered ammunition, and Possession of a Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device. CCN: 20-007-295
He had a ACLU lawyer and beat the charge over a report wording vs a court testimony technicality.
5. Moved from DC to Miami in the last year?????
SUMMARY: Could have been handled much better given the number of police present.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Facebook blocked the Illinois Association of Chiefs' request to promote its Officer of the Year post honoring East Peoria Police Officer Jeffrey Bieber Bieber was stabbed multiple times in the head and neck during a domestic incident and fatally shot the suspect when the suspect was on top of him
The stab wounds damaged nerves and hit an artery, 'causing the officer to bleed profusely'
Bieber tried to use his Taser before he pulled the trigger, police said
He was praised for 'not only for his sacrifice during and after the incident, but for being an outstanding officer serving and protecting the citizens'
Facebook said the post was about a 'sensitive social issue' and denied the state police group's request to promote the post, which can be done for a fee
ILACP Executive Director Ed Wojcicki said the decision was 'ridiculous'
'The way we see it is Facebook thinks it's wrong to honor a brave police officer who suffered serious wounds while protecting his central Illinois city'

[NBC] A fourth law enforcement officer who defended the U.S. Capitol against the mob attack on Jan. 6 has died by suicide.
Officer Gunther Hashida was found dead in his home on Thursday, the Metropolitan Police Department confirmed. He served as an officer for more than 18 years, joining the department in 2003. Hashida was 43.
“We are grieving as a Department as our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Hashida’s family and friends,” an MPD spokesperson said in a statement.
Hours after that announcement, News4 confirmed 26-year-old Officer Kyle deFreytag died by suicide July 10. He also responded to defend the Capitol from rioters in January.
Hashida responded to the Capitol as rioters loyal to then-President Donald Trump stormed the building. He was assigned to the Special Operations Division’s emergency response team.
U.S. Capitol Police Officer Howard Liebengood died by suicide in the days after the insurrection. D.C. Officer Jeffrey Smith died by suicide later that month.

I believe this makes the 3rd officer to die by suicide, not the forth. The other was natural causes, IIRC.
Seems like a lot of suicides. Coincidence? Maybe. Suicide rate in the gen pop is 13 per 100,000. For cops, it's 17 per 100,000. Capitol Police force is about 2,000 strong.
17 suicides/100000 cops * 2000 cops = 0.34 persons. At 3 dead, they seem to be running a little hot.

Seth Rich, Epstein, Assange, Keystone XL pipeline, Fauci and Wuhan, the 2020 election, Hunter and the Biden crime family, BLM, illegals at the border, the Schutzstaffel FBI; everything having to do with this administration is wildly outside of any statistical norm, or the realm of reality. Can there be any doubt we are witnessing evil on an epic scale ?
#6
Pressure being applied to the ranks? Some still have a sense of integrity and can't reconcile carrying out what amounts to a gross abuse of authority but won't resign and lose that pension?
#9
Either they are seeing things that go against their conscious, or are about to speak about them and shoot themselves in the back of the head twice because they are so distraught.
The administration knows the media. They are friends of nobody, citizens of no nation and loyal to no single master.
Once the wokeness/libtardation begins to hurt the corporate world enough, they may want a swing to less chaotic times. Also, without a valid 'other' the media machine won't have enough charged fodder or issues. The 'insurrection' has not been milked enough, you see. So who knows they may one day give these voices a platform, people who may spill what orders were given, what exactly happened. Before that eventuality...

[SHAFAQ] Erbil police directorate announced arresting a gang of three people who were trading "Libyan dollars" with actual citizens' money.
It is the fourth gang to be arrested in the Kurdistan Region for trying to deceive citizens by selling them Libyan dollars, according to Erbil police front man, Colonel Hoker Aziz.
Aziz said told Shafaq News Agency, "those who were arrested today confessed to taking 30,000 US dollars and two cars that belong to some citizens."
He added that this gang was taking money by force of arms, and its members confessed to committing four cases within one month, noting that one of the detainees was arrested for the third time on the same charge.
The Erbil police front man called on the citizens who were defrauded to submit a complaint against the perpetrators and not to believe what is rumored about the Libyan dollar trade in the Kurdistan Region.
The Libyan dollar, is a counterfeit currency, but the fraudsters claim that it is from the frozen funds belonging to the regime of former Libyan President Muammar Qadaffy ...a proud Arab institution for 42 years, now among the dear departed, though not the dearest... .

Double-blind study shows ivermectin reduces disease’s duration and infectiousness • FDA and WHO caution against its use
Ivermectin, a drug used to fight parasites in third-world countries, could help reduce the length of infection for people who contract coronavirus for less than a $1 a day, according to recent research by Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer.
Prof. Eli Schwartz, founder of the Center for Travel Medicine and Tropical Disease at Sheba, conducted a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial from May 15, 2020, through the end of January 2021 to evaluate the effectiveness of ivermectin in reducing viral shedding among nonhospitalized patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.
Ivermectin has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration since 1987. The drug’s discoverers were awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine for its treatment of onchocerciasis, a disease caused by infection with a parasitic roundworm.
Over the years, it has been used for other indications, including scabies and head lice. Moreover, in the last decade, several clinical studies have started to show its antiviral activity against viruses ranging from HIV and the flu to Zika and West Nile.
The drug is also extremely economical. A study published in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Therapeutics showed that the cost of ivermectin for other treatments in Bangladesh is around $0.60 to $1.80 for a five-day course. It costs up to $10 a day in Israel, Schwartz said.
In Schwartz’s study, some 89 eligible volunteers over the age of 18 who were diagnosed with coronavirus and staying in state-run COVID-19 hotels were divided into two groups: 50% received ivermectin, and 50% received a placebo, according to their weight. They were given the pills for three days in a row, an hour before a meal.
The volunteers were tested using a standard nasopharyngeal swab PCR test with the goal of evaluating whether there was a reduction in viral load by the sixth day — the third day after termination of the treatment. They were swabbed every two days.
Nearly 72% of volunteers treated with ivermectin tested negative for the virus by day six. In contrast, only 50% of those who received the placebo tested negative.
IN ADDITION, the study looked at culture viability, meaning how infectious the patients were, and found that only 13% of ivermectin patients were infectious after six days, compared with 50% of the placebo group — almost four times as many.
"Our study shows first and foremost that ivermectin has antiviral activity," Schwartz said. "It also shows that there is almost a 100% chance that a person will be noninfectious in four to six days, which could lead to shortening isolation time for these people. This could have a huge economic and social impact."
The study appeared on the MedRxiv health-research sharing site. It has not yet been peer reviewed.
Schwartz said other similar studies — though not all of them conducted to the same double-blind and placebo standards as his — also showed a favorable impact of ivermectin treatment.
His study did not prove ivermectin was effective as a prophylactic, meaning that it could prevent disease, he cautioned, nor did it show that it reduces the chances of hospitalization. However, other studies have shown such evidence, he added.
For example, the study published earlier this year in the American Journal of Therapeutics highlighted that "a review by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance summarized findings from 27 studies on the effects of ivermectin for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 infection, concluding that ivermectin ’demonstrates a strong signal of therapeutic efficacy’ against COVID-19."
"Another recent review found that ivermectin reduced deaths by 75%," the report said.
BUT IVERMECTIN is not without controversy, and hence, despite the high levels of coronavirus worldwide, neither the FDA nor the World Health Organization have been willing to approve it for use in the fight against the virus.
Prof. Ya’acov Nahmias, a Hebrew University of Jerusalem researcher, has questioned the safety of the drug.
"Ivermectin is a chemical therapeutic agent, and it has significant risks associated with it," he said in a previous interview. "We should be very cautious about using this type of medication to treat a viral disease that the vast majority of the public is going to recover from even without this treatment."
During Schwartz’s study, there was not any signal of significant side effects among ivermectin users.
Only five patients were referred to hospitals, with four of them being in the placebo arm. One ivermectin patient went to the hospital complaining of shortness of breath on the day of recruitment. He continued with the ivermectin treatment and was sent back to the hotel a day later in good condition.
The FDA said on its website it "received multiple reports of patients who have required medical support and been hospitalized after self-medicating with ivermectin."
The "FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans," it said. "Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an antiviral (a drug for treating viruses). Taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm."
The World Health Organization has also recommended against using the drug except in clinical trials.
IN CONTRAST, Schwartz said he was very disappointed that the WHO did not support any trial to determine whether the drug could be viable.
Last month, Oxford University announced a large trial on ivermectin effectiveness.
Schwartz said he became interested in exploring ivermectin about a year ago, "when everyone was looking for a new drug" to treat COVID-19, and a lot of effort was being put into evaluating hydroxychloroquine, so he decided to join the effort.
"Since ivermectin was on my shelf, since we are using it for tropical diseases, and there were hints it might work, I decided to go for it," he said.
Researchers in other places worldwide began looking into the drug at around the same time. But when they started to see positive results, no one wanted to publish them, Schwartz said.
"There is a lot of opposition," he said. "We tried to publish it, and it was kicked away by three journals. No one even wanted to hear about it. You have to ask how come when the world is suffering."
"This drug will not bring any big economic profits," and so Big Pharma doesn’t want to deal with it, he said.
SOME OF the loudest opposition to ivermectin has come from Merck Co., which manufactured the drug in the 1980s. In a public statement about ivermectin on its website in February, it said: "Company scientists continue to carefully examine the findings of all available and emerging studies of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 for evidence of efficacy and safety. It is important to note that, to date, our analysis has identified no scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies; no meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and a concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies."
But Merck has not launched any studies of its own on ivermectin.
"You would think Merck would be happy to hear that ivermectin might be helpful to corona patients and try to study it, but they are most loudly declaring the drug should not be used," Schwartz said. "A billion people took it. They gave it to them. It’s a real shame."
And not moving forward with ivermectin could potentially extend the time it takes for the world to be able to live alongside the virus, he said.
"Developing new medications can take years; therefore, identifying existing drugs that can be re-purposed against COVID-19 [and] that already have an established safety profile through decades of use could play a critical role in suppressing or even ending the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic," wrote the researchers in the American Journal of Therapeutics. "Using re-purposed medications may be especially important because it could take months, possibly years, for much of the world’s population to get vaccinated, particularly among low- to middle-income populations."
#6
Drug patents are good for 20 years after the drug's invention. Thus I would imagine that Merck is disinterested in invermecting because there is little money to be made off it.
#8
In Schwartz’s study, some 89 eligible volunteers over the age of 18 who were diagnosed with coronavirus and staying in state-run COVID-19 hotels were divided into two groups: 50% received ivermectin, and 50% received a placebo, according to their weight.
So nobody with a symptomatic form (actually ill).
Nearly 72% of volunteers treated with ivermectin tested negative for the virus by day six. In contrast, only 50% of those who received the placebo tested negative.
To summarize. If you're tested positive but have no symptoms your chances of testing negative six day later are 44% better if you take ivermectin. A cure indeed.

#3 Tiffany Devereaux of Nassau County in northeast Florida told News4Jax that her fiancé, Britt McCall, 35; her mother, Darlene Glass, 65; and grandmother Ruth Dean Griffis Devereaux, 85; all died within five days of each other.
...Her fiancé and mother were both unvaccinated. And her grandmother 85 (vaccination not necessary works).
#5 #3...Sounded like she of the 4 was the unvaxxinated one and the survivor. Just sayin'.
#11
It’s a small study that suggests ivermectin can help prevent a small problem from becoming a big one — and no doubt, like aspirin, this has many applications. A study of the same design with 1,000 or 5,000 for each group would be taken more seriously.
The FDA, on the other hand, has become exponentially risk averse since I did work they paid attention to, back in the 1980s. And that is even without corrupt creatures like Anthony Fauci arranging profitable relationships for themselves with certain drug manufacturers.
On the gripping hand, the FDA happily approved a prescription medication that reduces the misery of influenza by a few days, so it seems reasonable that they would approve ivermectin for that a similarly small effect, were it not for the politics and profit problems one segment of the scientific community has created for itself.
#13
Also for comparison purposes... hallucinogens and psychotropic medications that can cause mania and schizophrenia are now legal without a prescription, uh, "decriminalized" in California.
But depending on the jurisdiction you can get your license pulled for prescribing Ivermectin-for-humans.
