The 2024 Paris Olympic Games are over, and now that I have had a moment to evaluate them, I figure it’s time to share a few thoughts.
Yes, America amassed 126 medals, 40 of which were gold. I am proud of those athletes. They performed at the highest levels. Good on ’em.
But I will remember these games for something else—when a female Italian boxer named Angela Carini was mercilessly pounded into submission just 46 seconds after entering the ring against a biological male opponent from Algeria named Imane Khelif.
After Khelif landed a hard right hand to Carini’s face, the Italian boxer staggered and turned to her corner in distress. Moments later, her corner signaled Carini was quitting the fight, and she fell to her knees and wept.
It was a scene I will never forget, and it shouldn’t have happened.

As the referee raised Khelif’s hand in victory, Carini turned her back and left the ring in tears, refusing to shake Khelif’s hand.
“This is unjust,” Carina shouted. “I have never been hit so hard in my life. It’s up to the IOC to judge.”
Watching a biological male batter a woman was the most disgusting thing I have ever witnessed at any Olympic Games, whether I covered them as a journalist or watched them as a spectator.
The International Olympic Committee members who approved this travesty should be ashamed of themselves.
In past boxing competitions, Khelif was deemed a “biological male.” Last year, Khelif was disqualified from the world championships after failing testosterone tests. He was found to have higher levels of testosterone than is typical for a woman.
Do you think?
Khelif went on to batter two more women on his way to winning the gold medal in the 66 kg (welterweight) class.
I have to wonder what’s next at the Olympics. Will biological males be allowed to play on women’s rugby teams at the 2028 Los Angeles Games? How about 7-foot, 300-pound men playing against women on the basketball court? Or biological men playing on women’s water polo, field hockey, or soccer teams?
How about men competing against women in such field events as the shot-put, javelin, or discus?
Is that next? Why bother having a women’s classification at all if biological men are allowed to compete as women?
It used to be that some nations, such as the former East Germany, were sanctioned for doping their female athletes with injections of testosterone and steroids, giving them an advantage over their female competitors.
During the 1988 Seoul Olympics, which I covered, American women swimmers were shocked by East German competitors who were not only bulked up but had stubble on their faces.

“It looked like they all had five o’clock shadows,” one American swimmer quipped about a few of her East European opponents.
We have moved beyond that now. Just pit biological men against women at the Olympics. Female athletes have long warned about the presence of biological men in women’s sports, arguing that, as a result, women’s sports are in danger of being destroyed.
Perhaps the most famous case is William (aka Lia) Thomas, who has been competing as a woman for the past five years despite being born a man. Female athletes complaining about this travesty rarely get any support or consideration. When one of the women who competed against Thomas—Riley Gaines—spoke out, she was threatened by transgender thugs and bombarded with hate.
Now, it seems the IOC has joined the war on women’s sports. The IOC has decided that biological males who are born with all of the physical equipment with which males are bestowed (a penis, bigger shoulders, more muscle mass, larger bone structure) can elect to say they are women and beat up women in Olympic boxing matches.
After Khelif’s beatdown of Carini, former NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya wrote that the event wasn’t surprising at an Olympics “that started with an opening ceremony focused on a bizarre veneration of bearded ladies and balls-out drag queens.”
The opening ceremonies were ballyhooed as the “gayest ever,” featuring an insulting LGBTQ disparagement of the “Last Supper,” along with a woke fashion show featuring transgender models.
I wonder why these freaks didn’t have the guts to ridicule Islam. I think we know why. Muslims respond violently to anybody who insults them and the prophet Muhammad. Because Christians don’t, they are fair game for some in the LGBTQ community.
Perhaps the most unlikely alliance is that of the LGBTQ community with Islam and the Palestinians in their recent “Gays for Gaza” protests. LGBTQ organizers seem to have forgotten that homosexuality is forbidden in Islamic communities like Palestine and Iran. Gays are not only persecuted; they are thrown to their deaths from the rooftops of buildings.
In his speech to Congress a few weeks ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exposed the “Gays for Gaza” movement by pointing out the apparent contradiction when he said, “Gays for Gaza is like saying chickens for KFC.”
I was also astonished to hear the song chosen for the Olympic Opening Ceremony. It was “Imagine” by John Lennon. The lyrics are a screed to Marxism and the New World order that globalists want:
“Imagine there’s no Heaven… No Hell below us… Imagine all the people livin’ for today… Imagine there are no countries… And no religion too… Imagine no possessions.”
Wow. No God, no country, and no private property? That sounds like a guileless Marxist Shangri-La.
However, 10,500 athletes from 206 countries competed in 329 events across 32 sports in Paris.
Without those 206 nations, wouldn’t that mean there would be no more Olympic Games?
