News from the World of Tennis

 Never thought you'd see Green Eagle, who knows as much about tennis as he knows about orthopedic surgery, talking about this, huh?  And it is not even about that dickhead that refused to get vaccinated and was kicked out of a tournament in Australia.


No, this is about one Mohammed Al Awadi.  Never heard of him?  Well, if you lived in a large part of the world (hint: the Muslim part) Mohammed Al Awadi would be your latest hero.  And what did Mohammed Al Awadi do to achieve such adulation?


"Mohammed Al-Awadhi is 13 years old and ranked ninth in Asia and the best in his category in Kuwait at all age stages


Big Praise For Young Al Awadi as He Refuses to Face Israeli Player in Dubai Tennis...The young Kuwait tennis player Mohammad Al Awadi is being hailed as a hero for pulling out of a Dubai tournament for the under-14s because he doesn't want to face an Israeli competitor and wanted to be branded as a normalizer with the Jewish state."


This is typical of literally hundreds of articles that have been written praising this 13 year old boy.  I won't bother you with any more, because they are mostly all the same.  He's being adulated all over the world:



Now, I must admit that my initial suspicion is that his family and he were threatened if he played the Israeli and lost, and so he made the sensible choice of not being killed.  But now I have another suspicion.


One of the endless posts about this kid led me to do a Google search for his name, and I found myself at the site of the International Tennis Federation.  I checked their site for a Kuwaiti named Mohammed Al Awadi, and sure enough, I found someone with that name.  He is a 40 year old man, who had participated in one youth tennis match in the late 1990's, and lost.  That's it.  Not a mention of the supposedly ninth ranked guy in the above picture.


So now I wonder, does this kid even exist, or is this just one more preposterous Palestinian lie that anti-Semites around the world are thrilled to swallow whole?  Make up your own minds.

Dervy,

Arab lies have killed a half million people in Syria in the last few years, and untold tens of thousands in Yemen, Libya, the Sudan and Lebanon. They have also precipitated the deaths of a couple thousand Palestinians. Grow up and face reality.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
