I understand that President Biden's sarcasm got him in trouble with Wall Street. That is Joe. He, up to now, has been very sarcastic. That is what got him in trouble with Peter What's His Name from FOX.
That's Joe.
Either you love it or you don't. His sarcasm is actually disgust with the subject he addresses. I can respect that. Of course, we are not going to have bombs falling in the USA. But, President Biden is steadfast in his support of NATO and he is spot on. This is enough. Putin means to move into NATO countries and not stop at Ukraine. A communist regime is trouble for the human being. Not business. Not capitalism. Not the elite. But, average people are chronically having problems and live under a great deal of stress.
I want an investigation to the mental status of the USA woman skier Mikaela Shiffin. What occurred at the Olympic is not at all her norm.

Mikaela Shiffrin (click here) is getting support from past and present Olympians after the US alpine skier was brought to tears over her second straight disqualification at the 2022 Olympics.
Retired Olympic champion skier Lindsey Vonn, who’s commentating on the Beijing Games for NBC, said she was “gutted” for Shiffrin after the 26-year-old’s early exit in the first run of the slalom race on Wednesday.
The shocker came two days after Shriffin did not finish the giant slalom race, in which she was the defending gold medalist, after crashing 11 seconds into the opening run....
Beijing - When Eileen Gu won Olympic gold in the Big Air, (click here) sales of her red Anta ski suit, complete with slipdrag reduction technology, surged 20-fold on Chinese e-commerce platform JD.com.
Luckin Coffee sold out of Gu-endorsed drinks, with a spike in cup-holders bearing her image, and the Chinese chain immediately said it would launch more Gu-linked products throughout the year.
The San Francisco-born skier won a silver medal in Tuesday's slopestyle final, earning more praise on Chinese social media for redeeming herself on a third jump after an earlier mistake....
Eileen Gu has a dual citizenship, China and the USA. She is on the China woman's ski team by choice.
In a recent press conference she stated, "I am just living my best life." She is an international model with acceptance by the Chinese people in many of their advertisements. But, she also skies in championship contests globally. She does not apologize for her glamourous life and ski championships. She simply is enthralled with herself.
Her glib attitude about her popularity is ignoring the complete tragedy that exists in China among the people. China is as a known human rights violator. Ms. Gu doesn't speak to that, nor does it effect her focus in the wealths in her life, both financial and athletic elite. She is definitely more Chinese than American in her demeanor and ego.
It is one thing to have talent and win. No one has a problem with that, but, her success in life and her igorance to her status in China is a tragedy all itself. Basically, so long as she is comfortable and happy the world is perfect. In China, the world is far from perfect.
I am also suprised in realizing China has had the Olympic games in only a fourteen years apart, the other being 2008.. That is not all that long. That is only three rotation of games both summer and winter.
Why is it that other countries such as Vietnam have no hope in sponsoring the games. Vietnam's reconstruction after the USA war there is stunning. They host a healthy tourism industry. Why are these countries lagging in prestige? The International Olympic Committee needs to discover ways for less wealthy countries to sponsor Olympics and develop their sports venues. Perhaps engaging them in other international events that will lead to a good effort in competing for sponsorship of Olympic games.
Until later.
