On Brittney Griner, Not in Kansas Anymore - 8/7/2022-3

Brittney Griner

Honestly, I don't care that Brittney Griner is black, gay, or that she won't stand for the National Anthem. Color is a thing to a lot of people, but it ain't my thing. So she did some Black Lives Matter shit. I believe Black lives matter. I don't support Black Lives Matter. Some people can't make a distinction. I do. You don't like it? Tough crap. If you ask me Black lives do matter AND the Black Lives Matter group are socialist, communist, terrorist, and anti-white-racist in behavior.

Sexual preferences seems to be a cause for obsession for some people, them that feel it's an abomination and somehow impacts their lives, and also for some LGBTQ types who act as if only taking a near activist stand on the issue can prove one NOT a homophobe. I'm neither. You live your life and love who you want. The fact that Brittney Griner has a wife? WTF does it have to do with anything? To me, nothing. I've heard some speculate that Brittney Griner is trans. Maybe so. That's her business, although if she's M-F trans, some genetic women have been treated unfairly by having to compete with a guy on the basketball court. That's "if", by the way. I don't know and I don't care.

Brittney Griner broke Russian law. She should have known better, in fact I bet she did/does know better when she did it. What she did was bring a very American view of the law, law enforcement, and criminal justice to a foreign land where the American system has no bearing. I remember in 1979 I got orders to Okinawa, the USMC had me attend a class. I was taught that Okinawa is Japan, not Kansas. As in, "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto." Well, Brittney has lived in Russia before. She knew the rules. She fucked up. Badly.

I'm not spiteful or vindictive. Did Brittney Griner disrespect our flag and veterans? Fuck yes she did. That's her right. I stop short of applauding her for exercising that right, but I have to say it is her right.

I hear some say it's incumbent on the US Government to do something to help her to gain her release. Ironically, the same people saying this would say someone like me who supported President Trump are Putin puppets and ridiculous nonsense like that. Well, who is advocating we kiss Putin's ring and ass, and genuflect before him to win the release of Brittney Griner?

Me? I'm not saying she should rot in prison for the entire 8 or 9 years. But neither would I agree with selling out US interests to gain her release. There's plenty of people in Kansas who need help. Help them. Brittney Griner is NOT in Kansas anymore.
