China just wants an excuse to steal another island
Have you ever heard her voice? Sounds 100% female and unaggressive
It's like the Chinese think she will eat them

Anyway, I went to a meeting with my neighbor's mother at their lawyer’s office this past Friday. At one point I mentioned Brittney Griner (I can’t remember exactly why) and lawyer went OFFFFF. Actually ranted, and even raised his voice.
“She’s an idiot. She deserves to be in jail there, I hope they keep her locked up there forever.” On and on he went, apparently I hit a nerve for some reason. Really surprised me.
One thing I will tell you I’m sick of hearing though (on cnn for instance) is how she “had to go” to Russia because she’s paid so poorly here (compared to men athletes, of course). While I’m sure the pay is not equitable (she gets paid 250K per year plus some bonuses get her to about 500K) men athletes are paid in the multi millions.
Everybody is “paid less” than somebody, but do they all go to Russia?
I just don’t get the comparison, I mean NBA rakes in billions more from fans and games here, then women’s basketball.
And nobody, absolutely nobody “needs to go to Russia”
If that’s the case then all the teachers who make only like 50K per year “need to go to Russia” too.

Why the white-winged sandpiper wheels
At the distant warble of a black-footed parakeet.
