Jason Whitlock: “Simone Biles took second in the floor exercise, some woman from Brazil took first, and some woman from America took third, so everybody is celebrating this ‘all-Black’ picture of Simone Biles bowing in front of this Brazilian woman and saying ‘THIS IS AN ICONIC PHOTO! AN ALL-BLACK PODIUM!’... This is somehow celebrated as some great thing. It’s just a reminder to me of why I’m not watching the Olympics and why I’m not on-board with Simone Biles. I’m not a Simone Biles fan. She’s divisive, she’s a race-idolator, and she’s a race-bait victim. I’m just tired of everything being labeled as ‘historic’. How can an ‘all-Black’ podium [be historic?]. Have you seen the 100-meter and 200-meter dash photos for the last 100 years?? Have you seen the podiums for these boxing events?? ‘BUT IT’S GYMNASTICS!!!’... It’s not history, and it’s not unifying to be discussing sports in this way constantly. It was a turn-off to me. We’re provoking this type of mentality.

Jason Whitlock: Stop Pretending Simone Biles is the 'Greatest Athlete Ever'

Rich Davis: “LeBron James was getting out of a car on his way to a post-gold medal celebration and some kid jumps right at LeBron the minute he gets out of the car. My first instinct was ‘give some people space’, but the more I thought about it and looked at it, just take a listen at the tone in LeBron’s voice. ‘STOP, STOP, STOP, DON’T DO THAT’... If it were some paparazzi guy trying to get an autograph, one of those autograph stalkers ‘SIGN THIS HELMET! SIGN THIS JERSEY!’, those people are a pain in the a**, but this was like a pre-teen/teenage kid who had his phone out like ‘YO, THIS IS LEBRON JAMES!’ This was a little French kid who’s thinking ‘what are the chances LeBron James and all these superstars are where I live??’ and LeBron shut this kid down. First, I was like you gotta give celebrities and athletes their space, and then I changed my mind because I was like ‘no, no, no’, LeBron James is one of the most elite celebrities on planet earth. He needs to be better in that moment. I know everyone slips up so I’m not going to be too hard on him, but I don’t care if this kid was a little pain in the butt, I don’t care if he caught him off guard, it’s a kid. You’re in Paris one last day, you just made a gold medal run, I just thought it was a weak-a** look for a guy I defend all the time."

In 1919, famed author Rudyard Kipling published his poem, “The Gods of the Copybook Headings” as a warning against progressivism (or in his day, Fabian socialism). Today. it reads more like prophecy. Glenn reads the poem, which describes a world that has denied reality, bought into a promise of peace (if only they surrender their weapons to the elites), and where “our women had no more children and our men had lost reason and faith.” Sound familiar? But the poem hasn’t been fully fulfilled yet. The next stop is a place where “we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy.” This is our last chance, Glenn warns, before “‘the gods of the copybook headings,’ — the TRUTH — ‘with terror and slaughter return.’”
