Queen Opening Ceremonies Mocking Christians

My colleague Mary Chastain shared her anger at the opening ceremony antics for the 2024 Paris Olympics, which appeared to mock the Last Supper (snip) Now the Olympics’ organizers are apologizing.

It was a depiction of an ancient Greek Bacchanal." (snip) This sort of educated b---s--- requires you to ignore the simple fact that the Olympic presentation was literally called "La Cène Sur Un Scène Sur La Seine," i.e. "The Last Supper on a Stage on the Seine."

After a months-long investigation, the former executive director of a now-defunct San Francisco nonprofit was arrested Tuesday on dozens of felony charges related to the alleged misuse of over $700,000 in public funds, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office said.
Kyra Worthy, a resident of Richmond, California, has been charged with misappropriation of public money, grand theft by embezzlement, submitting fraudulent invoices, wage theft and writing fraudulent checks while she was the head of SF SAFE, a 48-year-old nonprofit that aimed to enhance safety and crime prevention in San Francisco in partnership with the city police department, prosecutors said.
Nina Jankowicz, the one-time (and short-lived) head of the Department of Homeland Security's "Disinformation Governance Board," filed suit against Fox News last year alleging that the network "built a narrative calculated to lead consumers to believe that Jankowicz intended to censor Americans' speech" among other allegations.
In a delicious and deserved irony, the judge summarily tossed the suit, writing that, in essence, Fox told the truth.
"Fox contends, and I agree, that Jankowicz has not pleaded facts from which it could plausibly be inferred that the challenged statements regarding intended censorship by Jankowicz are not substantially true," U.S. District Judge Colm F. Connolly wrote in his July 22 order to dismiss.
Olympic Games organisers have wilted to pressure from athletes and ordered more than 700kg of eggs and a tonne of extra meat to replace fake meat meals and non-dairy options.
Athletes and teams have been left far from impressed by the food on offer as the Olympic village, just one of a number (of) complaints including a lack of air conditioning, uncomfortable cardboard beds, lengthy walks to the cafeteria and overcrowded buses which do not run on time.
Organizers at the Paris Games were determined to make this Olympics the most sustainable of all time, prioritizing a green approach in almost every area.

Fired Over Joke About Women Taking Too
Long To Get Ready 17 replies
A veteran Eurosport announcer was fired for making a joke about women taking too long to get ready after the Australian Olympic swim team took the gold medal in Paris, the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) reported Monday.
Bob Ballard said that the 4x100m freestyle relay team were “finishing up” and “you know what women are like … hanging around, doing their make-up” as the team exited the pool deck, according to the BBC.
Ballard, who has covered global sports since the 1980s, including numerous Olympic games and World Championships, apparently laughed when his broadcasting partner and former British swimming champion, Lizzie Simmonds, said his remark was “outrageous,” the BBC reported.
Internal Revenue Service employees and contractors owe a collective $50 million in back taxes, a new audit by the Treasury Department’s inspector general found.
Of the more than 3,800 IRS employees who owe back taxes, 2,000 have not even established a payment plan. More than 50 of these delinquent employees have remained employed by the IRS for five years or more. All told, nearly 150,000 federal employees failed to pay their taxes, owing a combined $1.5 billion. (snip) The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reviewed 1,068 cases where IRS management had initiated disciplinary action against employees for tax issues, and found that management often went easy on them.
God and the Trump Shooting
13 replies
It seems like I’m constantly trying to come to an understanding or at least a settled position on how God involves himself in human affairs. The Trump shooting brought that to the surface again, simply because it couldn’t be scripted -- it felt beyond consequence. Also, many people of faith, including people that I see as nuanced and intelligent began claiming that it was almost beyond question, an act of God (Ben Shapiro, for instance).
I’ve been all over the board over the years from “there’s no understanding God’s involvement” to determinism (more early in my Christian life), to compatibility, meaning that paradoxically God’s sovereignty and free will aren’t mutually exclusive.
A military family who lost custody of their autistic son after they refused to transition his gender are suing a major DC hospital.
The family said their boy had never shown any desire to become a girl until, at 16, he was hospitalized for self-harming after a bitter breakup with his girlfriend in 2021.
Staff at Children's National Hospital informed the family that he wanted to be female and should be referred to using she/her pronouns going forward, the suit claims. (snip) The lawsuit says the child is currently living with the hospital's 'non-gendered' chaplain, Lavender Kelley, who regularly posts online about trans issues.
Some Episcopal priests with nontraditional views on sexuality and human relationships are beginning to assert what they see as their right to put those views into practice. (snip) This is not a previous era’s war over homosexuality, but rather a present-day struggle over polyamory — “many loves.” A broader term is “consensual nonmonogamy” — relationships where everyone involved knows about and consents to a lack of exclusivity in sexual or romantic expression.

Special counsel Jack Smith’s bid to revive the classified documents case against Donald Trump appears unlikely to be resolved or even argued in court before Election Day.
Smith is appealing U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision last week to dismiss the case, (snip)
Barring an effort by Smith to demand an expedited schedule, the 11th Circuit’s timeline suggests the effort by prosecutors to resuscitate the case is likely to stretch past the 2024 election. A Trump victory in the election is seen as a likely death knell for the case, as Trump’s Justice Department leaders would be expected to unravel the prosecution.
Trump leads 50%-43%, no Harris bump
13 replies
So much for the expected polling bump for Vice President Kamala Harris.
In three surveys since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Harris has failed to overtake former President Donald Trump as his campaign feared would happen.
Instead, the race remains where it has been for months, with Trump leading Harris both in new national head-to-head and battleground state surveys.
Just out is the latest Rasmussen Reports poll shared with Secrets and taken over the past three nights. It shows Trump leading Harris with likely voters 50%-43%, well outside the margin of error.
That is just a 1-point increase for Harris over Rasmussen’s last Biden-Trump head-to-head survey
Senator Josh Hawley revealed on Thursday that a whistleblower has come forward telling him that local law enforcement partners offered drones to the Secret Service ahead of the Butler, Pennsylvania rally where gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump, but the Secret Service declined the offer.
"According to one whistleblower, the night before the rally, US Secret Service repeatedly denied offers from a local law enforcement partner to utilize drone technology to secure the rally," Hawley wrote in a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. "This means that the technology was both available to USSS and able to be deployed to secure the sight."

Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier thinks the White House owes his network an apology.
But he won't be holding his breath.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, the anchor and executive editor of Special Report with Bret Baier fired back at Democratic critics, who have sought to undermine his reporting on President Joe Biden's record of disturbing public incidents.
And, while Baier is not yet ready to declare a 'White House cover-up' of the president's true condition, he's not ruling it out and he's certainly not done investigating who knew what and when.

President Trump traveled to Chicago on Wednesday to deliver remarks at the National Association of Black Journalists conference.
A rude reporter opened the question and answer session by accusing Trump of lying and attacking the black community.
President Trump sat quietly and patiently as the host spewed lies.
The crowd erupted as President Trump unleashed on the rude fake news reporter. “Well, first of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump said as the crowd erupted.
The Democratic National Convention plans to spend the entire first evening of the event boasting about President Joe Biden’s so-called “accomplishments” and spin his presidency so it appears he’s leaving a “legacy” behind. A source close to the matter told CNN that the event’s programming will focus on celebrating Biden before he turns the “keys over” to Vice President Kamala Harris— the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. The 81-year-old president, who was forced out of the 2024 race a few weeks ago, will give one last primetime address at the convention in Chicago next month.
As a dementia patient occupies the White House, World War III may be about to break out in the Middle East.
Jim Hoft previously reported that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed after their residence was hit in Tehran on Tuesday evening. Moreover, Israel DID NOT inform the Biden regime before they reportedly took out Haniyeh in Tehran.
The strike by Israel came less than after the Jewish State took out the military commander of Hezbollah in Lebanon. This was in retaliation for Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists slaughtering 12 innocent children after one of their rockets hit a soccer field on Saturday.
President Joe Biden announced new rules on July 31 that make millions more borrowers eligible for student loan debt relief.
“Today, my Administration took another major step to cancel student debt for approximately 30 million Americans,” Biden said.
“We won’t stop fighting to provide relief to student loan borrowers, fix the broken student loan system, and help borrowers get out from under the burden of student debt.”
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran by what the terrorist group said was an airstrike carried out by Israel early Wednesday morning as Iran’s Supreme Leader has vowed revenge.
Haniyeh, who was one of the most senior Hamas officials, was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s new president when he was killed, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced.
The Revolutionary Guards did not comment on how or who killed Haniyeh, but Hamas pointed the finger at Israel, stating the leader was killed “in a Zionist airstrike on his residence in Tehran after he participated in the inauguration of Iran’s new president.”
Ten days. It's been ten days since Kamala Harris was anointed as the Democratic Party's Chosen One to replace the failing Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election. She has not won one primary vote, but the Democrats waved their hands over her and she's the candidate.
And since this happened, she has not given one unscripted press conference.
Harris announced that she'd locked up the nomination late on July 22, declaring that she'd won commitments of backing from a majority of the nearly 4,000 delegates to next month's Democratic National Convention. She’s since hit the campaign
Vice President Kamala Harris caused a wave of criticism on social media after appearing to suddenly use a southern accent during a speech in Atlanta. "You all helped us win in 2020 and we gonna do it again in 2024," Harris, who is from California, told Atlanta rally goers while seemingly debuting the new accent. The accent immediately caught the attention of critics on social media, who accused the presumptive Democratic nominee of pandering to her audience.

Vice President Kamala Harris is beating her chest, claiming her record is better than that of former President Donald Trump. Why she is highlighting her resume of non-achievements is beyond me. For voters, they can’t name anything. There’s no single initiative to which voters can apply her name because it doesn’t exist. What does exist is a record of failure. Harris had a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, yesterday, and Peach State voters were dead silent about the Harris record. One woman admitted she never heard her speak until about a week ago:
Speaking to a room of Black journalists in Chicago, former President Donald Trump said his opponent in the presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris, "turned Black" a number of years ago.
When answering a question about Republicans labeling Harris a "DEI hire," Trump asked for the reporter's definition of DEI and appeared to question Harris' heritage. "So I've known her a long time - indirectly, not directly very much - and she was always of Indian heritage. And she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black," Trump said. "And now she

Since October 7.... the total of US taxpayer funds donated to Gaza as a reward since the massacre on October 7 to $896 million, or close to a billion dollars.
A lawsuit, brought in December 2022 and updated in March 2024, by Rep. Ronny Jackson and victims of terror attacks in Israel, alleges that President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken "knowingly and unlawfully" provided more than $1.5 billion in aid to Gaza and the West Bank since taking office. Biden and Blinken have "known for years" that the US aid is providing "material support" for Hamas' "tunnels, rockets, weapon procurement, and command and control infrastructure,"
