Olympic “Christ” Threatens to Sue Critics Over “Last Supper” Backlash

Barbara Butch, the LGBTQ activist who was the center figure in the controversial “Last Supper” Paris Olympic scene is threatening to sue those criticizing her. Butch played the role (wearing a Christ-like halo) viewed by many as a spoof on Christ in the Last Supper. The creators insist that they were going for a type of “pagan party” of Olympic gods and sent a message of tolerance. Art experts have supported the creators and pointed to paintings that inspired the pagan motif. That is not exactly what was seen by millions of Christians who were deeply insulted by the parody.

 The question is not the intent of the creators, but the intent of critics in denouncing the display and its participants.

The threat of legal action would not be especially serious in the United States where opinion is given robust protection in both criminal and civil cases. In France, however, free speech is in a free fall with the left pushing for the censorship and criminalization of an ever-expanding range of political and religious speech.

The ceremony itself had some truly powerful and stunning elements. I enjoyed the mix of music and imagery as well as the effort to show the diversity of France.

However, other elements were more divisive or excessive. For example, the producers decided to use the ceremony to feature such elements as three young people hooking up for a “ménage à trois.” With many families watching with kids, many of us thought the scene was inappropriate for such an event. However, it was the supper scene that led to protests from clerics and critics. While claiming a message of “tolerance,” the scene was taken as yet another slap at religious elements in society.

That is a debate that has continued to rage, particularly on the Internet.

Audrey Msellati, Butch’s attorney, posted a statement on Butch’s Instagram account that the DJ and activist will seek legal action after being “the target of an extremely violent campaign of cyber-harassment and defamation.” She is promising to file “several complaints against these acts.”

Clearly, any direct and intentional threats of violence against Butch should be prosecuted, as they can be prosecuted in the United States. However, the French laws sweep far more broadly in criminalizing opinion and what I have called “rage rhetoric.”

In France, such complaints are often criminal matters. In my new book, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” I discuss the collapse of free speech rights in France as well as other European countries. This anti-free speech wave has now reached our shores. It has many allies in our own anti-free speech movement. American leaders such as Hillary Clinton have actually enlisted the help of European censors to seek to silence American citizens.

Once the cradle of individual liberty, France long ago became a global leader in the crackdown on free speech.

These laws criminalize speech under vague standards referring to “inciting” or “intimidating” others based on race or religion. For example, fashion designer John Galliano has been found guilty in a French court on charges of making anti-Semitic comments against at least three people in a Paris bar. At his sentencing, Judge Anne Marie Sauteraud read out a list of the bad words used by Galliano to Geraldine Bloch and Philippe Virgitti, including using ‘dirty whore” in criticism.

In another case, the father of French conservative presidential candidate Marine Le Pen was fined because he had called people from the Roma minority “smelly.” A French teenager was charged for criticizing Islam as a “religion of hate.”

I also wrote earlier about the prosecution of famous actress Brigitte Bardot for saying in 2006 that Muslims were ruining France in a letter to then-Interior Minister (and later President) Nicolas Sarkozy. Bardot, an animal rights activist, was repeatedly hit with such criminal complaints for criticizing different groups.

While wildly popular with many in Congress, French President Emmanuel Macron has consistently worked against free speech rights.

That is why the homage in the Olympics to Liberté rang hollow for many of us in the free speech community. The French leaders have long been hypocritical in claiming to support free speech, such as marching in support of the Charles Hebdo magazine after the massacre after cracking down on its editors and writers.

Thomas Jolly, the artistic director for the opening ceremony of the Olympics, clearly wanted to be provocative in these scenes. He succeeded. Clearly, such provocative elements will spur debate and discussion, including heated opinions. Use of criminal sanctions for those expressing opinion would make a mockery of the display of fealty to French liberties that Jolly features in his ceremony.

  1. Trannies clowning around at the Paris Olympics doesn’t crack the top 100 IMPORTANT news items of the day, or week, or month, or year, and probably doesn’t even crack the top 500 or more.

    But it IS pretty near the top of the list of NONSENSE that can be used to intentionally DISTRACT weak-minded idiots from paying attention to things happening that actually MATTER and influence their lives — like wars, elections. and assassination attempts, to name a few.

    Meanwhile, there IS video available online of the reactions of a number of people in the crowd behind Trump at the Pennsylvania rally two weeks ago as a bullet tore through the crowd, striking one or more people, hitting a woman’s purse, and then striking a railing and throwing up a cloud of dust or debris.

    It’s NOT the bullet that struck Trump, and isn’t even a bullet that was fired at Trump. It was nowhere near Trump and came from a different direction than where the alleged shooter was laying in his sniper’s nest. When a line is drawn connecting people’s reactions to the bullet, it shows that the bullet came from another location and appears to have been aimed at the Secret Service snipers that were protecting Trump.

    And in the same video there are also the on-site statements of eyewitnesses saying they saw a shooter on the water tower getting shot by the Secret Service snipers.

    But Professor Turley is choosing to fulfill his function as a distraction disseminator using his stable of hired trolls to point elsewhere and shout, “Look! A squirrel!” — the squirrel in this case being a silly bunch of trannies at the Paris Olympics. And so others are expected to follow this lead, ignore the evidence of snipers — plural — shooting up a Trump campaign event, and concentrate on a bunch of clowns at the Paris Olympics engaged in conduct that was OBVIOUSLY intended as a distraction.

    1. Another shill for the deep state trying to cover up the cover up of the truth!!! There were 8 shooters at the event!!! It is weak-minded idiots like you that keep the truth hidden!!!

      1. I’m a Trump supporter, Turley trash. Post whatever garbage you like. Turley LOVES garbage. But the online EVIDENCE I provided a link to indicates that there were 3 shooters — the same number as the number of exclamation point you used, you illiterate stooge.

        1. Go fvck yourself Ralph. No one cares about your video delusions.

          You’re the reason if Trump were to lose. People like You turn off more voters than he does.

          You’re a Trump supporter. What will you be when he is dead? Fvcking idiot.

          What will you be in 2028 for that matter? Illiterate stooge.

    2. But it IS pretty near the top of the list of NONSENSE that can be used to intentionally DISTRACT weak-minded idiots from paying attention to things happening that actually MATTER and influence their lives

      Can this feckless Anonymous coward explain why anybody should bother reading his/her/its conspiracy theories and clickbait links?

      Particularly when he/she/it is a gutless anonymous coward who can’t find a few inches of spine and borrow a set of nads to post under a username?

      Anonymous ranting and scrawls here are about as persuasive as shytehouse poets in bathrooms on skid row.

      1. You’re the biggest lying cowardly fraud on Turley;s fake blog. No legitimate websire would allow you to post your pornographic trash.
        I provided the substack link containing the EVIDENCE. If that’s not enough for you, my adding a fake screen name won’t change anything, you piece of human garbage. Go vote for Hillary again, trash boy.

    3. Aimed at the snipers. You’re an idiot.

      Your phantom shooters are the worst shots in the world

      Give it a rest. Who gives a shit if it was 10 people???

      You are seriously demented Ralph

  2. The centerpiece person would look more plausible lying on her stomach, on a platter and with an apple in her mouth.

  5. To any black commenters here:

    How does it come across when Kamala suddenly breaks into her fake “black southern accent”?

    2. How does it come across when Kamala suddenly breaks into her fake “black southern accent”?

      About the same as when her boss (who she publicly told Americans was both a rapist AND a racist) told black voters that if they dared not vote for him as the lily white old patriarchy guy, then they weren’t allowed to be black.

    4. I really find it disgusting and in poor tasre. Im not black but I sometimes I identify as black, love watermelon and I have several gold teeth, no kidding! The folk be wakin up, know what I sayin?

  6. I just googled Trump rally. The first thing up on the screen is a picture of Harris. But no google isn’t biased.

    1. P.S. tried the same thing in duckduckgo, and got Trump results first, which is a little more logical, dontcha think?

      1. How about the repeated reports of Harris drawing a “crowd of 10,000” in one of America’s largest cities, but hardly a word about Trump drawing a crowd of @ 8,000 in little ole Harrisburg, which I never heard of before now

  7. Real question: What are the odds that Thomas Jolly thought or even hoped the skit would be taken as a desecration by Christians, and was at the same time pleased that a much less recognized painting of Olympian Gods would give him plausible deniability when controversy arose?

    I think those odds are good, to say the least.

    Christ was mocked from the beginning, as were his followers, to whom He explained that it is to be expected. So there’s really nothing new here. Sometimes the mockery is a little more clever, at other times it’s a little more cruel, but nobody, least of all Christians, should be surprised by it.

    Another real question: If it’s always Us against Them, on which side do you want to be?

  9. Dumbest distraction from important events EVER. Congratulations, Turleyville SHEEP. It takes a special kind of STUPID to be distracted by an Olympic Tranny puppet show in Paris.

    2. Congratulations, Turleyville SHEEP

  12. I just learned something: men are more free when they can kill their babies. Pete Buttigeig said so, so it must be true.

    2. free in the same sense of sterile catamite activity, free from the responsibility of procreation. ghey as a paradigm for modernity

      we know this in our bones: we either stop them or they stop us, our patrimony will be extinct

    3. OldManFromKansas posted: Pete Buttigeig said so, so it must be true.

      Is that the Reverend Mother Mrs. Pete Buttigeig, who was invisible for about five months on maternity leave after giving birth to twins? America’s Chest Feeding Champion, lactating from what looks like a penis (except more the size of a clitoris)?

      The war hero of Afghanistan, who made sure he was repeatedly photographed wearing full battle rattle, plates and all, well inside the green zone where the greatest danger was infection from paper cuts?

      Are we allowed to mock these Alphabet Sex Pride Tribe Warriors like the Reverend Mother Buttigeig and the Alphabet Sex Pride Pig in Paris?

      You know, like they get orgasmic mocking Christianity?

  13. Republicans have been trying to distance themselves from the racist and misogynist label for a while and true to form Trump and the GOP revert right back to it once Harris became the presumptive nominee. They really can’t help themselves. It’s in their nature to be racist and misogynistic. That’s why racists and white supremacists love Trump.

    Trump needs more than the current voter base he has. It hasn’t grown and it’s remained stale. Harris on the other hand has gained new voters and younger voters are registering in record numbers.

    With the polling numbers looking less favorable for Trump and the smaller margins Trump really can’t afford to lose voters. He’s not gaining more by being an idiot and going racist on Harris.

    1. You’re right, he should just stick to attacking Harris failed record and leave her racebaiting rhetoric alone. As far as attacking her for sucking her way to the top of California politics, I believe that is fair game. However, I do see yor point as some women may find that uncomfortable.

      1. “sucking her way to the top of California politics”

        Yeo, keep it up you misogynistic A hole.

        2. If you do not want to be accused of sleeping your way to the top – don’t sell your self as arm candy for the elite and powerful.

          1. Is that what you’re going with? Accusing Harris of sleeping her way to the top? That’s precisely what I said would happen. The right will resort to attacking Harris with sexist and racist insults instead of real arguments.

            Trump and the right cannot avoid the only way they know how to argue. Thru insults and racist rhetoric. How about using arguments with substance, and policy? Trump is scared to debate her. He no longer has to contend with Biden. He is now the old man with racist and cognitive issues vs. a younger and more energetic opponent. The polls are not looking good for Trump and after this disaster of an interview it’s. Of going to help him improve.

            Trump needs voters. The race is within the margin of error in the majority of states and now swing states show Trump trailing by 1 or 2 points. I know I’ve said polls don’t mean much this early, BUT changing trends do matter and Trump seems intent on alienating as many voters as he can.

            1. ” The right will resort to attacking Harris with sexist and racist insults instead of real arguments.”

              George, the argument is how Harris got to where she is today. Since you think you are the opposite of dumb, tell us what she did that got her so far, so fast. Willie Brown can answer you with a big smile on his face. She got there on her knees or her back. Now that she is there, she has proven to lack any other attributes to win the Presidency.

            2. I don’t think it is accusatory to bring to light the history of California Kamala regarding what are documented facts evidenced by her own actions. However, to be fair, I am sure it went well beyond suking snd most probably she gave it her all under Willie all in to support her being placed on various well paying board positions and DA considerations by Willie Big D Brown.

        3. If the Dems/media can talk about Stormy Daniels and Trump’s alleged ‘sex life’, then Kamala’s well known reputation for f’ing her way to power is fair game. Deal with it.
          Listen to Judge Joe Brown sometime. He tells it like it is. Kamala is a hoe.

          3. Republicans should keep bringing up the sexist remarks and misogyny. It’s doing wonders for Harris’s poll numbers. Alienating more voters against Trump is a sure-fire way to gain their support especially women.

            1. Democrats should show up at places like the NABJ when asked – Trump did. Harris bailed – though aparently she is going to at some future date via Zoom.

              Trump has repeatedly been willing to appeal to voters that are outside his base.

              Trump went to Harlem, and Brooklyn and Coney Island and other places in NYC – Biden and Harris have only been there for fund raisers.

              Trump came to the libertarian convention. He showed up at NABJ when invited. He worked through serious technical problems that delayed the event 35 minutes and persisted even after they started.

              Some people responded favorably. Some did not. But Harris did not show up for what should have been a softball event for her.
              Trump dealt with hostile reporters and badly formed gotcha questions.

              Biden openly stated his requirements for a Vice president was that they were black and female.
              So who is it that made this about Sex or Race ?

            2. No George, what’s bringing up Harris’s poll numbers are demographically and politically-slanted polls themselves, pushed over the line by a controlling left-wing MSM.

            3. Let’s see, did the Democrats hold back on attacking Trump on every level? Did anyone question why all these black AGs and Congress pukes in NY persecuted him on every level? They not only shamelessly attacked the former President of this nation but an older WHITE man that has created thousands of jobs. Trump set in motion after the chocolate Jesus an economy the likes we have never seen. Created more jobs for blacks, Hispanics and Asians than any other President. The Obaasturd along with Hillary the cow subverted his Presidency day one, that means they STOLE what would have been an amazing recovery of our nation from every single American that voted for him. Very much akin to what they did to Bernie Sanders and now Biden, 14 million votes swept away by the Democrats.

          4. Joe Brown’s an idiot. He claims that Donald Harris was a white man, and not the descendant of slaves that he so clearly was.

            Harris is descended from slave owners only in the same way that most black Americans are: he’s descended from one of his ancestors’ owner. That’s how slavery worked in America (including Jamaica).

            1. Sigh. This web site is really badly designed. It’s the only one I have such trouble with.

              To start with, why is it impossible to read comments in the order they were made?

            2. There were 2 million slaves in America at the civil war, research Natchez Mississippi where the Democrats sent many blacks at the end. Oh, Jamaica aint America.

        5. Yeo, keep it up you misogynistic A hole.

          Yeo, keep it up founding member of Hoes For Harris. Might be a Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Sex Shower in it for you at the end.

    2. Keep rubbing yourself up, dumbass. Dont expect us to join in.

      You’ve had a bad two months. You deserve a moment to fantasize and get yourself off.

      I take it Trump lost your vote today. You speak for no one else.

      Bwahahahahahaha

      Idiot.

    3. “Harris on the other hand has gained new voters and younger voters are registering in record numbers.”

      Can you cite those exact numbers from these voter rolls you are privvy to?

      Just makin shit up.

      1. Look both sides say they are the king of the world. We vote in November. Accept the vote. IMHO, trump will lose in a landslide. He is amisogynistic A hold, Racist, Fascist, convicted of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. He wants to pardon those convicted of assaulting police, He can’t smile, he just rants.

        So go ahead, vote for whom you will, Come November, I will accept whoever gains the most electoral votes. Can you say the same?

        1. Should the people of Venezeula “accept the vote” ?

          Conduct a clean transparent election – following the constitution and the law – and people will accept the vote.

          As to your prediction – this election will not be quite the landslide it was going to be with Biden.
          But no tossups still has Trump with almost 100 EC votes more than Harris. And that is likely to increase.
          It is highly likely that Trump wins the popular vote – which is critical – not because that is how presidential elections are decided, but because winning the popular vote constrains democrats efforts at Fraud.

          If Trump is still winning in the polls by 2% on election day – and loses as Democrats “find” ever more mailin ballots the day after the election – there will be h311 to pay.

          This is NOT Venezuela

        2. You expect to be taken seriously after the nonsense you say.

          The highly unlikely possibility of a Harris win would be have to be an election nearly as close as Bush b Gore in 2000.
          There is no road to a Harris landslide.

          You list all the things you have done to take Trump out of this election.

          Did they work ?
          What is it you think you are going to slime Trump with tomorow ?
          The fact is that you have lost credibility with the majority of voters.

          You could produce video of Trump felating Putin and the majority of the country would correctly conclude it was a fraud.

          People do not beleive you – and you did it to yourself.

          This is NOT about Trump.

          It is about YOU, Your lies, Your lack of credibility.

          People are voting for Trump for many reasons.
          Because he was the best president in the past 25 years.
          Because Biden/Harris were the worst possibly ever.

          Nut a very big reason is becuase YOU – democrats, the left, the media have lied over and over again and almost no one beleives you.

          You did that to yourself.

          1. Trump has not increased his voter base. His supporters are extremely loyal no doubt. BUT they are also not a big voting block. Trump can’t win with them alone. Because the electorate is almost evenly split between the two Trump can’t afford to lose voters. Especially independents and women. Harris is gaining new voters and younger voters are registering and contributing in record numbers. That’s not good for Trump. Nikki Haley’s voting block is now supporting Harris. RFK’s campaign is struggling against Harris.

            Trump’s biggest flaw is his mouth and ego and this disaster of an interview shows why he’s often kept away from situations where he can be directly challenged. He can’t handle being challenged and called out for his remarks.

            Trump just showed why he is NOT the best president. Heck, 75% of his former administration cabinet won’t endorse him.

            1. He’s going to win. Denial wont help you, Svelaz

              10 point swing since 2020

              Not even close.

              283 minimum

              Sorry.

            2. “Trump has not increased his voter base. “

              George’s reputation has been tarnished for a long time. He has been proven a liar and has changed his name multiple times. It’s safe to assume that he lies every time he opens his mouth. Despite others presenting proven data, he continues to repeat his lies. It’s not a stretch to imagine that everything George says is a lie, and the truth is the opposite

        3. I’m glad you wont be out marching in the streets like your compatriots in 2016

          But your are deluded.

          283-255 Trump

        4. An anonymous sexual pervert tried this to defend his source of kiddies A hold, Racist, Fascist, convicted of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse.

          Definitely not like President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Sex Showers. The White House Kiddy Fondler In Chief. The one who the woman who is now his Vice President told you and the world was not only a RAPIST, but a RACIST as well.

          Imagine the orgasms Soviet Democrats would have if it was Trump’s daughter whose diary said that she was having inappropriate sex showers with daddy when she was a teenager. Or his vice president told Americans that it wasn’t Biden she was saying was a racist and a rapist – but it was Trump instead.

          But yes, Biden: the racist who got your vote when he said that in 40 years in Washington, he never met a single properly dressed, decent, clean, well spoken Black Boy – until he met a Marxist Mulatto named Bolshevik Barack… who renounced his life of Wealthy White Privilege to run for public office as a po’ l’il black chil’ from da Projects, homey.

          The unindicted serial felon guilty of four decades of felony, whose personal Special Counsel released him on parole (for now) as a kindly old gentleman. Same unindicted serial felon now running the country in partnership with the other partner of Biden White House Crime LLC, The First Felon Gun Son, The Family Bagman Formerly Known As The Crackhead Kid.

          Sure would suck if Trump was elected and his new AG decided that, no, if the Soviet Democrats believed that Bribery Biden was sentient enough to have the nuclear football, he was sentient enough to be tried for theft, espionage act violations, bribery, money laundering… the whole nine yards.

    4. TEN POINT SWING since the close loss of 2020.

      6 Points up from his winning numbers of 2016

      Denial feels good?

    5. George – What nonsense.

      Your understanding of racism makes have the country racist – the half that isn’t.

      Everyday some left wingf nut tells me that Trump’s numbers are getting worse.
      Everyday I check the RCP average and find that is a LIE.

      Trump is at 48.1 – same as yesterday. Harris is at 46.1 same as yesterday.

      Trump’s numbers are the highest they have ever been. Trump beat Hillary with 46% of the vote.
      Trump is not losing voters – in fact he has gained voters since Biden dropped out.

      While it is true that Harris is doing better than Biden – after the debate exposed democrats and the media as liars.
      Trump is also doing better – both Trump and Harris have gained at the expense of RFK Jr.

      There is only 6% of the vote that is not going to Trump or Harris – and Harris is 2pts down.
      Harris must win those voted 5:1 or greater to beat Trump.

      There are 99 days until the election, anything could happen – but the things likely to happen Harm Harris – not Trump.

      Whether you like it or not Trump voters are pretty much locked.

      I would note that YOU did that. You have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at him – Everyone KNOWS or Thinks they KNOW Trump.
      It would take a miracle to drive voters away from him now.

      But Harris is not so well know – Yet,

      Further she is playing a very wierd game – She was NOT the border Czar – yet at the same time her/Biden’s immigration policies were better than Trump’s ?

      This effort to own and not own the Policies of the past 4 years is very dangerous for her.

      She can not distance herself from The past 4 years, and she can not own them either.

      And there are still 99 days left for things to go wrong.

      Most economic indicators are headed the wrong direction. We have been dancing around a recession for almost 2 years now.

      Regardless, the odds of the economy, the border, the mideast, Energy prices, inflation, Ukraine getting better in the next 3 months are slim to none – and Harris will own that.

      For the moment the Trump assassination attempt has quelled extreme rhetoric from the left. Democrats are mostly refraining from the Hitler, Nazi, end of democracy rhetoric, the Bullseye, Targeting, rhetortic – lest the be accused of hypocracy and of trying to get Trump murdered.

      So what do we get – the left leaders in unison calling Trump and Republicans “weird”.

      It is hillarious. Krazy Kamala is doing the coconut dance – and Trump and Vance are “weird” ?

      And “weird” is a reason not to vote for Trump ? In the real world Democrats are far weirder than Republicans.

      Practically the defining characteristic of Republicans is they are NORMAL. They do not have purple hair. They are not turning the Olympic ceremonies into the LGBT parody of the last supper, they are not on TikTok doing the coconut dance. If their kids come out as gay or Trans – they love them but worry about them – it is not like life is not hard enough. They do not try to Trans the kids.

      Weird is about the LAST thing you would say about a republican. Boringly Normal would be the first.

      But hey is the unimob wants to call Republicans “weird” – whatever.

      And this JD – Just Dumb Vance nonsense.

      Right, the guy would pulled himself out of poverty that almost no one in american has seen in 75 years, went toi college, went to Yale Law Schools, Went to Iraq in the Marines Twice, came home made a fortune making the world better, and then won a senate seat on his FIRST attempt to seek political office – that guy is Dumb ?

      Do you people think anyone beleives you anymore ?

    6. Harris offers Trump and Republicans a wealth of opportunists to take her down.

      Absolutely Trump is having difficulty trying to figure out where to attack first.

      I find the racism and sexism stuff hilarious. JD Vance has a life story that makes a Black Single mother in Harlem look privileged.

      While Harris, has never had a day outside the top Quintile elite in this country. And started her career as arm candy for even more connected elites.
      She has been failing up her entire life playing the race and sex card for all they are worth without ever having to pay any dues to earn either.

    7. RCP battle grounds – Trump leads in EVERY one.
      Trump has GA, AZ, and NV locked – which means Harris MUST win PA, WI, and MI – just to tie – and only is she does not lose an EC vote in ME or NE.
      And she is behind by 2.7 in PA – outside the margin of error.

      Trump must be begging for more of this Harris doing well.

    8. Trump showed up on time at the lion’s den Black Journalists event for his agreed to 1-hour interview.
      Trump was made to wait for 35 minutes while they delayed the event due to technical difficulties, etc.
      The first question was HOSTILE attack on Trump who was gracious and fair in spite of their nastiness.
      Trump made himself available for their event and their questions. He answered them all.
      The ABC host was rude. She was nasty. Trump treated her the same way he treats anyone who treats him the way she did. He did not pander, apologize, or make excuses. He hit her right back the same way he hits back anyone else. He treats people the same. Kamala and Joe pander. It’s disgusting to watch. Kamala would never show up for a Fox News interview. Or the NRA. Trump accepted their invitation. He met them head on. RESPECT due.
      Trump put her in her place with such masterful skill it was beautiful to behold.
      Those women were so beside themselves that Trump body-slammed them at their own event, that they started screaming “Raaacciiiiist” all over the internet.
      Grow up, ladies. You blew it by being nasty with your “gotcha” hostile questions.
      Trump showed up, would NOT take their sh*t, put them in their place, answered their Q’s, and then graciously shook her hand at the end.
      It was amazing to watch.

    9. Trump did not “go racist on Harris.”
      Harris is a total fraud.
      Trump just hit some of the highlights.

    10. Republicans have been trying to distance themselves from the racist and misogynist label for a while and true to form Trump

      Misogyny is is when old white pedo dudes like Biden and George tell women they must submit to men cosplaying as women and getting naked in women’s showers. Same old misogynist white pervert Biden who got off swimming naked in front of his female Secret Service Agents.

      Note to Lyin’ George: it was Bribery Biden who said he hadn’t met a decent, clean, well dressed black boy in his 40 years in Washington DC – until he met a mulatto named Barack who renounced his life of White Privilege to run for public office as a po’ black chil’ from the projects.

      Geroge, It was Bribery Biden who said he and his fellow Kluxxer Democrats wouldn’t stand for Jungle Bunnies going to school with their pure blood children like Hunter.

      And George, it was Bribery Biden who Round Heels Harris told YOU that Biden was both a racist AND a rapist.

      And finally Cheap Fake Human Being George – after being told that Biden was both a racist and a rapist, you voted for him in 2020 and were desperately pimping for Biden until your party pulled off a mostly peaceful insurrection, knifed him in the back and replaced him with the token Aunt Jemima he chose for VP because she met the racist criteria: Must Be Black.

      You must be Dennis McIntyre’s Birthing Person from another mother.

    11. Trumps current Voter base is 48.1% of the electorate according to RCP. Harris is at 46.1.

      Trump won in 2016 with 46% of the vote.

      There is only 6% of the electorate left – and those are mostly going to RFK or other 3rd party candidates.

      It is Harris that MUST flip some Trump voters.

      Without doing so she loses.
      538 has Trump 2:1 RCP no tossups has Trump by about 100EV. Betting odds have Trump up significantly over Harris.
      Trump is leading in ALL swing states – he has NV, AZ, and GA LOCKED that means Kamala needs a clean sweep of all other swing states or the best she can do is a EC Tie. Harris is down by almost 3 in PA – that is Why Shapiro is in the running for Harris’s VP – though he has purportedly publicly declined.

      That is also likely a major reason JD Vance is Trump’s VP – because Western PA is the same people as Ohio – Vance people.

    12. George Trump is polling higer against Harris than Biden – he is now at 48.1% – Trump is 2% away from a popular vote victory under all circumstances.

      If third parties take 2% of the vote – he is 1% away from a guaranteed victory.
      If third parties take 4% of the vote – Trump has already won the popular vote.

      Harris is 4% shy of a popular vote victory, she is 3% shy – if 4rd parties take 2%, and she can not win if they take 4%

      Absent making inroads into Trump voters – Harris has already lost the popular vote.

      That said – in 2020 – Trump lost the popular vote by 4% – but only lost the election by 3 states and 45,000 votes.

      If Trump LOSES 2% from where he is now – he may lose the popular vote – barely, but he will still win the election.
      If Trump LOSES 4% from where he is now – he would still have better than a 50:50 chance of winning the EC.

      This election isn’t about Trump.
      Biden was not forced out because Harris can Beat Trump – she can’t.
      Biden was forced out because Biden voters were despondent and atleast a few percent were not going to show up to vote.
      And that would be disasterous down ballot.

      We have 99 days until the election.
      In that time we will have more and more bad news about the mideast.
      This is a really weak spot of r Harris – because she is far more pro Hamas than Biden.
      She needs the Mideast to go way as an issue – while her position will energize some young left wing nuts, it will also energize large numbers who are anti-hama, ant-Iran, anti-hezbolla. Anti-terrorist.

      The Democrats border mess has increased the likelyhood of a terrorist event int he US. Probably there will not be one before November – but one would end Harris.

      No oner Bought the Harris was not the Border Czar nonsense. Frankly the lefties cheerleading for Harris like you sounds incredibly desparte.
      It is not 2020 – we KNOW the media lies. We KNOW democrats lie, and we KNOW that you lie.

      The economy has been teetering on recession for 18 months. Inflation is rising – albeit slowly. Growth is declining – slowly. Jobs are going down – slowly.
      There is no good economic news in the near future.

      There is a mess in Venezuealla that is going to make discussions of election fraud and lack of transparency the news for some time.
      Worse the Biden administration has been affiliated with the socialist failures in south america.

      Biden is incapable of admitting he was wrong and making peace in Ukraine – and it would take very little more than eating a bit of crow.
      So Ukraine will not improve.

      The Trans olympics is turning people off to the left.

      Harris is actually a worse campaigner than Joe and does not have demensia as an excuse.

  14. Talking about bad jokes, here is the biggest one today: calling on all of their love of, and knowledge, of democracy, the Democratic Party will select (get ready for the surprise) KAMALA HARRIS to receive their nomination for President of the United States. It will happen in a closed-to-the-public zoom meeting. (The Convention is just for show.) It turns out she was the only candidate!
    The DNC said: “3,923 delegates had petitioned to nominate Harris.” That’s quite an improvement over her performance in the real primaries in 2020. She didn’t get any votes then. It must be karma. Karma Harris.

  15. It’s a shame if the wonderful country of France is lost. French movies are so well done, and the art and fashion. The wines and foods are delicious. You’ll survive.

    2. It’s a shame if the wonderful country of France is lost.

      Slamming France for these Olympics or Macron is like slamming America for being the birthplace of ghetto Woke racist Marxist Useful Idiots and the Obama/Biden presidencies.

  16. Catholic Leaders response

    excerpt:

    Bishop Andrew Cozzens, chair of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis, issued a statement calling on Catholics to respond to the Paris incident with prayer and fasting. Referencing the recent National Eucharistic Congress, Cozzens wrote: “Jesus experienced his passion anew Friday night in Paris when his Last Supper was publicly defamed.“…

    One of the best-known prelates of the Catholic Church in the United States, Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, called on Catholics to “make their voices heard” in response to what he called “the gross mockery of the Last Supper.”

    In a post on X, Barron said the blasphemous act was emblematic of a “deeply secularist postmodern society” that identifies Christianity as its enemy.

    Fray Nelson Medina, a well-known Colombian Dominican priest with a vast social media apostolate, stated that he “will not watch a single scene from the Olympic Games. How disgusting what they have done mocking the Lord Jesus Christ and his supreme gift of love. And they are cowards: They wouldn’t mess with Muhammad.”

    Archbishop Peter Comensoli of Melbourne, Australia, commented on X: “I prefer the original.”

    1. Sure they would. Charlie hebdo satirical mag., 12 murdered and 11 injured after Mohammed was lampooned. 12 gunned down in France by offended Moslems.

  17. Once again, I would like to remind Professor Turley that France is actually a separate country and has the right to their own laws. The bigger question is that Macron undoubtedly knew what was planned in terms of this desecration. So this is all theater.

    1. Is there a reason to give this presentation such power? Desecration? It was more of a poorly done skit that failed at satire, absurdity, humor of any kind and the venue was wrong but having male boxers box females just smacks of misogyny, too. The entire opening from Gaga to the end has no power at all.

      It’s the wrong road. Turn right when you come to the fork in the road.

    2. Macron is reportedly married to a tranny, cut out the oui oui junk if you catch my drift. Shout out to big Mike too!

    4. Free speech is a human right. The right to criticize others is a human right.

      We criticize countries around the world for abusing the human rights of their own citizens. That includes France.

      And actually nations do NOT have the right to their own laws – would you be ranting if France chose to make slavery legal ?

      Think before you hit post.

      Are you actually so stupid that you would defend French law no matter what it was – because “France has the right to its own laws” ?

      Whatever degrees you have – you should demand a refund. Your education failed you.
      You are unable to think critically – you can not get past the first order examination of anything.

    5. No country has the right to make laws that violate the fundamental rights with which all men are endowed by their Creator at birth. We hold these truths to be self-evident.

  18. So who are you gonna sue? God?? Good luck with that… You all turned the heat up and expected the world to embrace your slap in the face. Sorry, not going to happen. It is unfortunate that you and your friends don’t love yourselves as God created you, however, that is between you and Him. Have a sit down with Him; you might be pleasantly surprised.

  19. Kamala’s parents—her father, Donald Harris, is a renowned Marxist economist from Jamaica who taught at Stanford University for decades—might seem like toxic assets to the types of people who only think about politics through the lenses of polling and focus groups.6 days ago

    Please notice that this information is from the NewYorker Magazine and not from a right wing outlet. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

    1. Trump’s dad was a racist. What’s your point? Wasn’t he once a member of the KKK?

      1. Do some research and you’ll find out in the 1940’s millions of Americans belonged to the KKK. It was a major political movement. How do you know Trump’s dad was a racist? Was MLK a racist? We’re all racists one way or another but Democrats have made a science out of it! If you don’t vote for me, you aren’t black! White men for Kamala! Asians for Kamala! Brown people unite against old white men!
        Booger eating Morons for Kamala, that’s more akin to it, ask the ladies of the Spew!

      2. It is abhorrent and stupid to accuse Fred Trump of being a member of the KKK. He wasn’t, but drunken retards say what they will whenever they want.

        1. There is little doubt that Fred Trump was to right of the center today – but that description fits FDR.

          Fred was neither a Nazi nor a member of the KKK.

          At the same time – what would it matter if he was ?

          The some of one of Hamas’s top leaders is a vocal opponent of Hamas.

          Guilt by association is a logical fallacy – we get that from the left all the time.

          Project 2025 is by the heritage foundation – therefor it MUSTY be nazi propoganda,
          JD Vance has met the guy who was one of the lead editors of Project 2025.

          Therefore JD Vance is a Nazi.

          Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a german duringf WWII – does that mean he is a NAZI ?

      3. Trump’s dad was a racist. What’s your point? Wasn’t he once a member of the KKK?

        No, in fact it was Bribery Biden who’s the actual racist who joined with the Kluxxer Democrats like Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd because he “didn’t want Jungle Bunnies going to school with his pure white blood children”.

        It was Biden who personally said he never met a well dressed, clean, well spoken Black Boy in 40 years in Washington DC – not Trump’s father who you allege was a racist.

        In fact, it’s Round Heels Harris who specifically told cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrats like you that Bribery Biden was not only a RACIST – but a RAPIST as well.

        So what’s your point ignoring the personal racist history of Bribery Biden to speculate about Trump’s father? You have a custom Memory Hole that you hide in while posting anonymously?

        You a founding anonymous member of Hoes For Harris?

      4. Wasn’t he once a member of the KKK?

        No, he wasn’t. It’s a lie that you Democrats made up and continue to spread. If he were alive he could sue you, but the law says the dead can’t be defamed.

    2. I am pretty sure Kamala’s dad is not up for election.

      trump follows the ethos of hitler, are you going to vote for him?

      1. I’m a Democrat so I’m going to vote for him twice and so are my dead parents.

      2. Neither is rump’s dad

        Trump’s Ethos is blaming the jews for everything bad ?

        Hitler was a totalitarian – he took power through political manipulation and back room deals – exactly like what is going on with Democrats right now.
        Hitler was a unabashed socialist.
        Hilter was a proponent of government control of the economy.
        Hitler sought to divide the country up by identity

        These and many other things Hitler shares with THE LEFT.

      3. trump follows the ethos of hitler, are you going to vote for him?

        You’re going to have better luck trying to pump life back into your “The Russia Dossier proves Trump is a Putin stooge”.

        Did you take time off from serving in the Soviet Democrats New Hitler Youth Movement supporting genocidal Arab Muslim hajjis to post that anonymously like a coward?

        Direct transfer and entry from Antifa? Or did you get your start in Black Liars & Marxists.

        Signed (not an incel anonymous coward)
        Old Airborne Dog

    1. So what? I thought republicans were supposed to be colorblind when it comes to race.

      2. It is Demopcrat that think that the Race and Sex of a candidate are what matters most.

        It is not like that is not exactly what Joe Biden said where the FIRST criteria for his vice president.
        It is not like that is not what Biden said were his criteria for Supreme Court Justice.

        If you do not want a decision to be about race – do not make decisions based on race.
