“Imaginative” Writer Raissa Robles Embarrasses Herself Yet Again!

In a valiant attempt to boost her dwindling social media clout, self-proclaimed investigative writer Raissa Robles has outdone herself yet again—this time by offering unsolicited advice to Carlos Yulo, the Filipino Olympic gold medalist. 

Displaying her unmatched expertise in ignorance, Robles advised Yulo to return to school and finish his education. Evidently, her degree in imaginative writing from the University of the Philippines has equipped her with the remarkable ability to overlook basic facts. A quick Google search could have informed her that Yulo already holds an associate degree in literature from Japan’s Teikyu University, making her advice as redundant as it is embarrassing. 

But why let facts get in the way of a good tweet? In Robles’ world, it’s not about accuracy—it’s about engagement. So, hats off to her for achieving what she set out to do: making waves, if not sense.

Raissa Robles’ 10 Centavo-Advice For Carlos Yulo

And The Winner Is . . . China!

In an ironic twist of fate, America’s long-standing “One-China” policy has come back to bite them at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

For years, the U.S. has tiptoed around the diplomatic tightrope, acknowledging Beijing’s claim over Taiwan and Hong Kong while quietly supporting their separate identities on the global stage.

But when it comes to the Olympic medal tally, suddenly, China’s narrative becomes convenient. By folding the medals won by Taiwan and Hong Kong into the People’s Republic of China’s count, Beijing surged past the U.S. in the standings, much to the chagrin of American officials.

So, while the U.S. may have played the game of “strategic ambiguity” for decades, they certainly weren’t prepared for this masterclass in Olympic scoreboard manipulation. It seems the “One-China” policy, once a tool of diplomacy, has become a golden (and silver, and bronze) trap for American pride.
