Hardly a week removed from dominating her way to gold in the women's 68kg freestyle wrestling, Mensah-Stock is already repaying those who helped her reach her dream – with some help. 

According to local Houston, Texas, television station ABC 13, Mensah-Stock planned to use part of her Olympic winnings ($250,000) to buy a food truck for her mother, Shonda Wells. Mensah-Stock promised Wells a truck of her own five years ago while her mother sold BBQ out of a pit with two wheels. 

Then Cameron Davies, the owner of Cruising Kitchens – a food-truck manufacturing company – heard of Mensah-Stock's plans to buy a $30,000 truck. Instead of donating a food truck with a similar price tag, Cruising Kitchens is gifting Wells a $250,000 truck with "all the bells and whistles

My Mensa stock went down to 0 after the auditors went to a meeting and saw it was full of neckbeards.

Lazy people still have a relatively shitty life. It’s a good livable life compared to poor people on the rest of the world, but it’s still a relatively sad existence compared to those that work hard to achieve the American dream without bitching about it.

It’s sick that CNN or MSNBC never ran the story about her making the pro-America comments, even though she was first first black woman to ever win the gold. Isn’t that amazing?

Behave like an American, get treated like an American. This woman bleeds red, white, and blue.

Everyone in the world sees the beauty and opportunities of America except our own, spoiled leftist/Democrat citizens.
