Yeah, well, so much for watching the Olympics this year. I've always found most of track and field interesting, and basketball ........but not so interesting as to wade through repetitive self indulgent tik tok masquerading as the Olympic games.
It seems to me that ever since the influencer trend took off that so many seem to think that they're on stage and the world is dying (or at least "needs') to hear what they have to say in their ill-deserved 15 minutes. It's so curious to see so many people with so little to say who believe that their particular opinion is vital and it's their responsibility to "educate" the world. What towering conceit. Thomas Sowell used to write articles entitles "Comments on the Passing Parade." Life imitates art....................Luca

In a world as dumbed down as this one is, people with an IQ in the high double digits often think of themselves as gifted geniuses with deep, intellectual insights to share. And comparatively speaking, they're right.
And why are people like Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson part of the "broadcast" team? What they know about sports would fit in a shot glass, with room left over for a shot.

Satan prompts men to excesses by which they murder themselves and others, while what he puts into the mind tends to ruin men's souls. He is the great promoter of falsehood of every kind. He is a liar, all his temptations are carried on by his calling evil good, and good evil, and promising freedom in sin. He is the author of all lies; whom liars resemble and obey, with whom all liars shall have their portion for ever. The special lusts of the devil are spiritual wickedness, the lusts of the mind, and corrupt reasonings, pride and envy, wrath and malice, enmity to good, and enticing others to evil.
Matthew Henry commentary of John 8:44 from 1688

Our Constitution Was Made Only for a Moral and Religious People. John Adams 1798.
This is why we have so many democrats fighting the constitution.
