The Woke 2024 Olympics: Where Men Were Allowed to Punch Women

 Dennis Prager   Women who devoted their lives to the grueling sport of boxing and the goal of one day winning an Olympic gold medal were cheated out of the possibility. 

"Former President Donald Trump said essentially the same thing. Vice President Kamala Harris has thus far said nothing."
