Leftist have lost all sense of sanity in recent demonstrable escapades

It would seem that the far left in this nation has lost its collective mind.

For the first time in Olympic history a person born a male will compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as a woman.

That’s right, Laurel Hubbard will be the first transgender in, get this, weightlifting for the New Zealand Olympic team. He edged out Tracey Lambrechs, a 2016 Olympian weightlifter for a spot on the delayed 2020 Olympic team. (it’s happening in liberal school districts here in the U.S., where genetically born males are self-identifying as females are entering girls locker room and bathrooms.)

This prompted former Green Bay Packer/Minnesota Viking to share his thoughts on a trans competing in the Olympics: “It’s a man competing as a woman,” Farve stated.
“That’s unfair. It’s not fair for a man even if this person wants to be a woman or feel compelled–if you want to become the opposite sex, that’s fine. I got no problem with it,” said the NFL Hall of Fame quarterback. “But you can’t compete against–males cannot compete against females.”

The crazies in Oakland would not be outdone by the lunacy from the Kiwi weightlifter. A viral video shows people twerking on an ambulance while EMTs were responding to a fatal shooting in that city. The video shows EMTs loading a gurney out of the ambulance as a crowd gathered and began twerking against  and on the ambulance.

How insane is that?

For anyone not familiar with the term twerking, it is a dance move popularized by pop singer Miley Cyrus, which is dancing “in a sexually provocative manner, using thrusting movements of the bottom and the hips while in a low, squatting stance,” according to the Oxford Dictionary.

Oakland Atheletics reliever Sergio Romo followed the lead of the ambulance twerkers when he became upset over an umpire’s request to check him for grip-enhancing substances during a game against the Texas Rangers. (Umpires have recently been checking player hats, gloves, belts and uniforms for a sticky substance pitchers have allegedly been accuse of using to enhance their pitches.)

Well, the ump’s request set Romo off. He tossed his hat in the air, his glove and belt were discarded and then he dropped his pants in protest as he retreated to the dugout!

Still in California, a basketball coach at Coronado High School was canned because his team threw tortillas at the athletes from Orange Glen High School, which Coronado High had just defeated 60-57.

The action by the players, not the coach, was determined to be a racist act. Like most leftists, punish the coach not the individual players.

Now, imagine if the Hayfield Vikings’ coach had been fired after winning the 2021 Minnesota State High School Class A baseball championship game and his players threw lefsa at the team from New York Mills following the 7-4 come from behind win. Would Hayfield’s baseball coach have been fired for the actions of his players?

Uffda! (Why would anyone throw good lefsa to opponents one had just defeated?)

After all, New York Mills players may have picked up all of the lefsa and savored it after returning home and microwaving each piece and slathering it with butter.

If these few instances are not warning signs that the social shift to the left does not project absolute madness, perhaps we’re teetering on the precipice of the total collapse of our once great society.
