Athletes bend the knee to Beijing bullies
China threatens to punish athletes who talk politics at the Beijing Winter Games. Suddenly all the sports activists and woke sponsors are silent, and the West treats as normal the kind of bullying not seen even at Hitler's 1936 Games. Why?
It’s nearly a week since China threatened to punish athletes at next month’s Beijing Winter Olympics if they said something political.
So where’s the outrage? Where are the protests from those political athletes so quick to abuse Donald Trump, demand “climate action” or bend a knee to Black Lives Matter?
Where are the protests from woke sponsors like Coca-Cola and Allianz, whose websites declare they’re fighting for “justice” and “a healthy planet”?
Instead, we’ve had near total silence since Yang Shu, a deputy director-general of the Beijing organising committee, warned athletes that “any behaviour or speech that is … against the Chinese laws and regulations are also subject to certain punishment”.

ROY SPENCER: GOOGLE PUNISHED ME FOR REPORTING THE REAL TEMPERATURE
Dr Roy Spencer runs the world's most authoritative measurement of the world's temperature, using NASA satellites. Google has now demonetised his website, where he reports the results. It accuses him of spreading "harmful" news - which is that the planet is not warming anything like as fast as predicted. Here he speaks on The Bolt Report.
What worries me most about Albanese
The Liberals are trying to smear and smash Anthony Albanese. But they aren't talking much about his real problem - the one that worries me most. My column from The Bolt Report.
