Paris 2024: When Queerness Sank Fully In-Seine

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 8/5/2024 2:19:46 PM

Perhaps the most instructive faux pas during the controversial Olympics opening ceremony in Paris on 26 July was the moment when the South Korean team was incorrectly labeled as the North Korean team instead. You can see how the confusion may have arisen. Not so long ago, we Western democracies mocked Pyongyang’s interminable public-theater displays of regimented, all-singing, all-dancing political conformity in their stadiums prior to sporting events as an unmistakable diagnostic sign of state-mandated ideological totalitarianism. Now we have the precise same thing ourselves, but ineptly disguised by placatory bromides like “diversity,” “tolerance,” and “inclusion.”

I feel bad for the athletes who have trained their whole lives for this moment, just to have it sullied with this enormous freak show. I havent watched even one minute of it and dont feel like I've missed out. I caught reruns of Star Trek and various cartoons instead.

We are watching American athletes who have dreamed and trained all of their lives. What the IOC did was bad enough. And this fruitcake who messed up the opening ceremony. I refuse to pile on the young Americans, many of whom are doing a fine job and bringing pride to themselve and our - that;s OUR - country. Going all pouty and rejecting our athletes' competitions over what the IOC and one French guy have done makes us sound silly and petty.

Too many American Olympic athletes haven’t been real keen on the concept of patriotism; in this Olympic and in recent ones. For that reason, along with the atrocious politics of the IOC, j have completely avoided watching a single second of it.

Hopefully, the sponsors of this outrageous freak show lost millions of dollars and France is sporting a huge black eye that will kill its prospects for tourism for years to come - if the muslim population hasn't done that already. Macron is younger than Biden but his performance as a leader has been identical. By the time Los Angeles '28 rolls around, I predict that there will no longer be a Los Angeles, unless Donald Trump is the magic man that we suspect he is.

I am going to broaden the scope to include Donald Trump and JD Vance in this conversation because the word "weird" is being used to describe them. We are seeing "cat lady" demonstrations and parsing out Donald Trump's words by the Democrats and liberals. I find it boring and repetitive. From Kamala Harris: "We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. Sometimes they won’t, and then you need to kick that f ing door down," Harris said to a large audience, sparking cheers. "Excuse my language," she added." We have liberals upset because of a point JD Vance was trying to elaborate on (cat ladies), we have all the stuff going on with the Olympics, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, all of the violence as with Kamala Harris' statement above, plus the economy. Sadly, liberals want me to believe they are mature and responsible? It is not happening.

…”Walz is a younger Bernie Sanders with a much more violent disposition behind that mask”… Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is most recently known for his support of the George Floyd riots and his decisions to keep law enforcement away from the rioting cities in order to give the BLM thugs space to loot and destroy. Governor Walz is one of the key types of racially selected useful tools for the advancement of wokeism, racism and cultural Marxism. Yep, Tim Walz is the progressive nose under the tent of the constitutional republic, (snip) All things considered around Kamala ‘Brat’ Harris, Walz is a smart choice by Barack Obama.

Greetings from Barack Obama 2007. That’s me in the white shirt in the photo announcing my entry into the presidential race in front of the statue of Superman in Metropolis, Illinois. I know the photo looks pretty gay, but remember, I only imagine having sex with men. Daily. As I wrote to a girlfriend in 1982: In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination. So don’t believe the Fake News that I am secretly gay.

Putting some context data together before a video that should concern everyone. Representative Jamie Raskin’s (U-MD) son, Tommy Raskin killed himself right after the 2020 election at the age of 25. Congressman Raskin was diagnosed with cancer in 2022, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Raskin is an angry bitter man of intemperate disposition, the archetype nihilist. As hate consumes him, his physical persona changes with the manifestation of evil enterprise. While his cancer is in reported remission, I would anticipate it to resurface in early 2025, after Baal has finished using him.

Friday marks the 50th anniversary of one of the darkest days in American politics — the day when the FBI and the rest of the deep state overthrew the duly elected government of President Nixon by forcing him to resign in a scandal designed by teh FBI and promoted by the Washington Post. The cover up was worse then the crime, because there really was no crime. Thus in less than two years, the deep state overturned the biggest Electoral College victory in 152 years. Nixon’s 520-17 win in 1972 was bested only by James Monroe and George Washington; both were unanimous choices although one of Monroe’s electors in the Electoral College

Japanese stocks plunged on Aug. 5 in their biggest drop ever, amid concerns about the global economy and fresh forecasts of a possible recession. The Nikkei 225, a stock market index for the Tokyo Stock Exchange, shed 12.4 percent on Aug. 5, losing 4,451 points. During the 1987 Black Monday sell-off, the index lost 3,836.48 points, which was the worst previous decline. The Nikkei share average drop comes as the dismal Aug. 2 jobs data in the United States heightened worries of a possible recession, and as the yen rallied to seven-month highs versus the dollar.

A Chinese citizen was arrested this week after police said he repeatedly tried to get into former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach while he claimed that he had documents that tie his home country's government to the July 13 assassination attempt on the Republican nominee for president. Zijie Li, 38, of El Monte, California, faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge in the incident, which occurred Wednesday, and remained at the Palm Beach County Jail on Thursday morning on a $3,000 bond, according to court records. According to jail records, this is the first security-related arrest at Mar-a-Lago since July 13, when a gunman shot at Trump as he spoke

A Thursday recount by Virginia officials determined that House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good narrowly lost his reelection bid to former state Sen. John McGuire during the commonwealth’s recent primary elections. The final results from the Good-requested recount confirmed McGuire won the battle to become the GOP nominee for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District by 370 votes. That’s four votes fewer than the 374 vote-lead McGuire had following the state’s initial tally of the June 18 race. The former state senator will now face Democrat Gloria Witt this November.

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Joe Biden will attempt to reclaim the Democratic nomination after it was “stolen” by Kamala Harris. This comment comes in light of recent announcements confirming Harris’s position as the Democrat presidential nominee, following a controversial series of events leading to Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the 2024 race. Last week, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison announced that Harris has amassed enough delegates to secure her place at the top of the ticket, with final results expected to be confirmed on Monday. Despite never winning a primary election, Harris has now found herself positioned as the official Democrat nominee.

As recently as last week, Kamala Harris appeared to be on the cusp of picking Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) as her running mate. Despite the progressive backlash against him and a slew of scandalous leaks, he was the runaway frontrunner in the betting odds as conventional wisdom held that Kamala needed a "moderate" swing state Democrat to help expand her path to 270 Electoral College votes. Shapiro's chances remained high even after he faced serious allegations by a fellow Democrat of covering up harassment in his office. The sexual harassment cover-up didn't take Shapiro out of contention, and neither did another cover-up — this one involving murder.

RFK Jr. took the story, utterly destroyed and exquisitely mocked it, and hilariously commanded his own story—a scoop— that the magazine had hoped would horrify voters but instead made me laugh harder than I have in years. RFK Jr. put his own story out on X, taunting The New Yorker, "Looking forward to seeing how you spin this, @NewYorker." Kennedy obviously got a head's up the story was coming and decided he'd get in front of it, scooping the magazine.

Instead, he stated that “a society that does not put equity and inclusion first will come to this result.” (X Video) He even mocked Minnesota national guardsmen as a bunch of ’19-year-old cooks” when asked why he rejected Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s request to send them to the city.

JD Vance (R-OH) during a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate. “I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said, to cheers. Then he added: “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.” The crowd roared with laughter. “You see what I did there?” he said, clearly aware of the joke. The joke refers to a meme that claims Vance had sex with a couch, based on a fake citation from his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.

Tim Walz, 60, who was named Harris’ vice-presidential pick Tuesday, has supported efforts to turn his home state into a sanctuary state while also backing other stances that cater to undocumented migrants. “My position on Minnesota becoming a sanctuary state boils down to who has the responsibility for enforcing immigration laws,” Walz told CBS News in 2018. “Here’s what I believe: Congress has given federal agencies the authority to enforce immigration laws in Minnesota, and I support their doing so,” he said. “Congress has not given local law enforcement that same authority.
