OPEC NATIONS ARE GOING ALL OUT TO DRIVE DOWN OIL PRICES IN THE HOPE THAT CRAZY KAMALA HARRIS WILL WIN. THEN THEY WILL REALLY REAP THE REWARDS! SHE WILL BE A DISASTER FOR THE USA!
Thanks for posting that. I recall having seen/heard that before. That is why my lying ears :-) puzzled me.
He did say it in a strange way. My ears heard the same thing at first. How’s the awful heat out your way? Any relief?
The organizers behind the Paris Olympics apologized to anyone who was offended by a tableau that evoked Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” during Friday’s opening ceremony and provoked outrage by religious conservatives around the world. The organizers, however, defended the concept behind it.
“As CBS News correspondent Elaine Cobbe reports, the specific part of the ceremony that caused the offense was, in fact, a scene depicting Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. It was reportedly based on The Feast of the Gods,....”
____________________________________________________________So since it was not the Last Supper and we Christians should not be offended I posted on facebook who Dionysus was.
So it wasn’t the Lords last Supper that was depicted at the Olympics, it was Dionysus Festival. Well lets learn who Dionysus was.
What were Dionysus parties called?
bacchanalia
“On his travels Dionysus was accompanied by satyrs (demons) and ‘Maenads’ or ‘Bacchae’; ‘possessed women’ who gave themselves to ecstasy. Excessive drinking and debauchery generally accompanied the cult of Dionysus, giving rise to the word ‘bacchanalia’ for a party featuring drunken revelry.”
“In ancient Greek religion and myth, Dionysus is the god of wine, festivity, theater, and more. He was also known as the god of fertility, vegetation, fruitfulness, orchards, insanity, ritual madness, and religious ecstasy. The Romans called him Bacchus.”
“Dionysus (/daɪ.əˈnaɪsəs/; Ancient Greek: Διόνυσος Dionysos) is the god of wine-making, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, festivity, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, and theatre.[3][4] He was also known as Bacchus (/ˈbækəs/ or /ˈbɑːkəs/; Ancient Greek: Βάκχος Bacchos) by the Greeks (a name later adopted by the Romans) for a frenzy he is said to induce called baccheia.[5] As “Dionysus Eleutherius (”the liberator”), his wine, music, and ecstatic dance free his followers from self-conscious fear and care, and subvert the oppressive restraints of the powerful.[6] His thyrsus, a fennel-stem sceptre, sometimes wound with ivy and dripping with honey, is both a beneficent wand and a weapon used to destroy those who oppose his cult and the freedoms he represents.[7] Those who partake of his mysteries are believed to become possessed and empowered by the god himself.[8]”

It is said his parents are Zues & Semele. Some have said Semele is the daughter of Zues, but instead she is the great-granddaughter.
“ No, Semele was not the daughter of Zeus in Greek mythology, but rather his great-granddaughter. Semele was the daughter of Cadmus, the King of Thebes, and Harmonia, and the granddaughter of Ares. Zeus’s wife, Hera, was jealous of Semele’s relationship with Zeus, so she tricked Semele into asking Zeus to visit her in the form of his firebolts. Zeus granted Semele’s wish, but it killed her. Zeus saved their unborn child, Dionysus, the god of fruitfulness, vegetation, wine, and ecstasy, by keeping him in his thigh until he was ready to be born. According to some stories, Dionysus later descended into Hades and brought Semele back to life, making her immortal or even a goddess.”

Now shouldn’t we all feel better that it wasn’t The Last Supper. </sarcasm off>

Turnip Brain doesn’t have any authority to change the Supreme Court - they’re an equal branch of the government.
So they were into transgenderism and pedophilia too?
I think it was disgusting, demonic and debauchery, even without depicting the Last Supper.
Look at all those sexually demented freaks. They’re a bunch of messed up pervs.....and they’re parading them in front of everyone, including children. Children look up to the Olympic athletes.....this is some high level grooming.
They aren’t sorry they did it. They aren’t even sorry anyone was offended, but apologizing for people being offended is a moot point.
That was great!
Thanks for posting it!
P.S. Guess what?
It’s raining its guts out here!
YAYNESS!
Yay for rain. The rain, in Maine, will fill the wells again. Or something like that.
I’ll tell them where to stick that apology!
*self censored*
Hahaha The Bee....
LOL
Very good!

I keep hearing that Kamala’s campaign is off to a great start and she has transformed into a better candidate than anyone expected. And yet Kamala hasn’t done or even said anything. She hasn’t had a clever moment, a great speech, an innovative policy idea. She hasn’t had substance or even style. The “transformation” is happening entirely and solely in the media. Kamala is the same Kamala she’s always been. What we’ve witnessed is the media figuring out a new branding strategy in real time.
