Left: Paul Whelan (U.S. Marines). Right: Brittney Griner (Lorie Shaull).
Why Brittney Griner Got Out Of Jail
When White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, herself a lesbian, was asked why the Biden Administration prioritized freeing Brittney Griner, the lesbian basketball player convicted of smuggling drugs into Russia, she responded that Griner inspired millions. As one of my correspondents on Twitter quipped, alluding to the WNBA’s paltry ratings, “inspiring dozens” doesn’t have quite the same ring.
Journalist Pedro Gonzalez offers a sadly more likely explanation though:
As Gonzalez elaborates on his Substack:
Whelan served in the Marines and worked as a police officer in Michigan. There is something to that. On the other hand, Griner has spent her life playing an utterly irrelevant sport. She has been “prescribed medicinal cannabis,” which is what we say today about people who are addicted to the most pathetic kind of drug. It’s not even a “cool” drug, like cocaine. She was arrested with a vape containing hash oil. The Russians basically did Americans a favor.
But here is the fundamental difference—the reason Griner was prioritized over Whelan: she is a black lesbian who resents America, making her the ideal citizen in the current U.S.
In 2020, she told The Arizona Republic, “I honestly feel we should not play the National Anthem during our season.” Griner, of course, is a supporter of Black Lives Matter. She added, “I think we should take that much of a stand,” and noted she would walk off the court during the anthem if necessary. Griner also criticized the “anti-gay” policies of her alma mater, Baylor, in her memoir.
What active persecution at Baylor embittered her so? Nothing, according to the author herself. The Christian university simply asks that “gay athletes don’t talk about being gay,” she wrote, which wounded Griner, who apparently feels the need to shout it from the mountaintops.
On the other hand, poor Whelan is merely a white man who served his country and was, as white people increasingly are these days, down on his luck from time to time. Worse, and perhaps unforgivably, he expressed support for Donald Trump before and after Trump was elected president.
The simple fact that the idiot press secretary said this was this was the best deal they could get shows that Putin was in charge and that Biden was going to him hat in hand begging. Putin is still 10 times the leader that Biden pretends to be.
He WHITE / She Black & Gay & a Hate America Democrat !!!
That’s WHY !!!
So she was a Shoo-in for First Place !!!
as a former marine this breaks my heart. Would never recommend anyone send their children into the current military establishment so they can become cannon fodder for this corrupt bunch in DC. Our country under obama and Xiden is unrecognizable any more. one lying cheating dug addicted devil worshiping carpet muncher instead of a US Marine.
Shame on Xiden and obummer!
There is no such thing as a “former” Marine.
Anyone on earth is a better leader than our president I would have rather seen Daffy Duck elected, We better get our noses out of the Dems and wokes behinds and develop back bones again and remember what we used to be a leader not a follower nation.
We all knew this would happen with Pedo Biden in Stolen Office !!!!
She admitted she broke the law & the Marine is Innocent !!!
