Olympic glory

Watching the Olympics, it’s easy to get caught up in the color and pageantry. You see people who have traveled long distances to support their teams. You watch the athletes struggling to win, not just for themselves, but for their country.

I get jealous sometimes. I find myself wishing that our nation had a flag and colors to rally around. I find myself wanting to have a team so that I could point and say, “Look, that’s our people. Kingdom of God. That’s us.”

Then I’m reminded that the glory of our Kingdom doesn’t come from us. It comes from our King. That’s why we’re part of the greatest nation on earth. Not because of us. Because of Him.

Immigrants are stealing Olympic jobs

Here’s proof positive that immigrants are stealing American jobs. 38 jobs that could have been performed by native-born U.S. citizens are instead being done by immigrants.

People like Marlen Esparza, from Mexico. She was the first female boxer to win an Olympic boxing match. Oh, and she’s also a Cover Girl model. That’s at least two jobs she’s stealing.

Danell Leyva, gymnast for the U.S. team, is from Cárdenas, Matanzas, Cuba. His mother came to the States legally, though his step-father and trainer both swam the Rio Grande to enter the U.S.

Foluke Akinradewo, volleyball player, was born in Canada and is a citizen of three countries: Canada, Nigeria and the U.S.

Leo Manzano, middle distance runner, is the son of a migrant farm worker who crossed illegally back and forth from Mexico numerous times.

Dozens of members of the U.S. Olympic team were born outside of the U.S. Somebody has to do something about this outrage! If they’re going to come to this country, let them be mediocre like everyone else.

Oh, and did you know that Gabrielle Douglas’ coach is from China? Talk about your outsourcing.
