Barbara Butch, a radical LGBT activist who was part of a stunt at the Paris Olympics opening ceremonies that mocked Christianity, now is threatening to sue those who are criticizing her.

And an American legal expert, constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, is explaining the anti-free speech laws and conditions in France create a much more conducive atmosphere to that agenda than would be present in the United States for such an attack.

There, he said, "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."

Kamala Harris, recently pushed into the Democrats' top ballot slot for this fall by the elites of the party who apparently pushed Joe Biden into the ditch because of his declining mental capabilities, is trying to clean up her record and her agendas to appeal to more voters.

So she flipflopped on an issue. And then flipflopped on another. And flipflopped on a third. And a fourth. All in one day.

It was commentator Alex Berenson who cited her position changes as outlined by the New York Times.

They include that now she no longer wants to ban fracking, anathema to Pennsylvania voters, even though she previously wanted that.

And now she wants money for border security, one of the top issues for American voters this year, even though she essentially ignored her responsibilities as Joe Biden's "border czar" for years already.

And she no longer wants single payer health care, for which she's lobbied in the past.

And finally, she still wants to ban "assault weapons" but has dropped her agenda to forcibly confiscate them from Americans, as she previously had demanded.

"I do like that she doesn't even bother to try to defend her old views, just tosses them when they're no longer politically expedient," Berenson wrote.

But it was reporting at Revolver.news that shredded her for being "the most dangerous kind of politician."

"At her core, she's a Marxist tyrant and a radical left-wing activist. Yet, when the spotlight hits her, she sheds her skin like a snake, adopting the guise of a semi-centrist. But we all know that's just an act. Once in power, Kamala will rip off her semi-centrist mask and reveal her true identity—Kamala Jong Un," the report said.

The article explained, "Her track record is a disaster. This is the woman who championed the wildly dangerous and unpopular 'Defund the Police' movement, and supported a soft-on-crime bail fund that put violent George Floyd rioters, murderers, and sex offenders back on the streets. She's also the same easily duped politician who bought into Jussie Smollett's absurd 'MAGA COUNTRY' story. Kamala is a classic 'finger in the wind' politician, always chasing the popular trend of the moment. Once it loses relevance, she sheds that snake-like skin and transforms into whatever the regime needs next. She's not a real person; she's a creation, and that is terrifying for every single American."

The posting noted that what Harris really was doing in the Senate was to be "dragging us deeper into the abyss of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)."

"Most bills Kamala attached her name to were laced with insane race equity issues, squatter's rights, and a bevy of loony environmental red tape that's been a nightmare for American businesses and workers."

As soon as Joe Biden gained control of the Oval Office following that 2020 election that was influenced by multiple outside factors, including the $400 million "Zuckerbucks" that let local election officials often recruit voters from Democrat districts, he signed an executive order.

That was Order 14019, called the "Promoting Access to Voting" that required every federal government component to boost voting. It demanded taxpayer-funded employees coordinate with "leftist" organizations to mobilize voters, and of course those groups did not solicit more participation from conservatives.

Now that agenda, to use the assets of the federal government to boost a Democrat political candidate, has gone to the next level.

A prominent, nationally recognized legal team that has represented former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis ever since she was attacked by LGBT radicals for following her biblical beliefs that marriage is between a man and a woman is reporting a new round of death threats against the Christian champion.

"Kim Davis and Liberty Counsel need your prayers for protection. Hateful LGBTQ adherents are back at it with death threats. Just one example reveals the evil in the hearts of those people: Kim's husband answered a phone call. The angry caller threatened he would tie up Kim's husband while he raped Kim. Then he would burn down the house with the two of them still inside," explained a report from Liberty Counsel.

The organization said the threats "have ramped up again after we filed our legal brief with the Court of Appeals. Kim's husband, Joe, has had to run trespassers off their property."

On appeal is a judgment that demands Davis pay a homosexual duo $100,000 for declining to issue any marriage certificates during a short period of unsettled practice immediately after the Supreme Court created, out of nothing linked to the Constitution, same-sex "marriage" for the entire nation. Even as that ruling was issued, no state laws banning that practice were changed.

Then pro-LGBT judge David Bunning added to the penalty, insisting that Davis pay a quarter of a million dollars in costs and fees.

Davis had responded to the Supreme Court's then-activism by withholding her signature from any marriage licenses while she sought an exemption based on her religious beliefs. That eventually arrived, as did a state law providing protection for her and other clerks.

But before than could happen, two homosexual duos demanded she provide them with "marriage" licenses and when she refused Bunning put her in jail. The current fight is over damages those duos demanded. A jury in one case said there were no damages, while the other came up with the $100,000 figure.

The situation is getting massive attention because the case is being presented as an opportunity for the Supreme Court, on which three leftist judges who created same-sex "marriage" no longer serve, to overturn that opinion, the Obergefell case.

"The argument in our brief references a parallel argument articulated in the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. The activist high court at the time was wrong when Roe was decided and it is wrong today because it was based entirely on the 'legal fiction' of 'substantive' due process, which lacks any basis in the Constitution. The same is true with the Obergerfell opinion," Liberty Counsel reported.

"Our goal is to overturn this case."

The legal team pointed out that the Supreme Court already is aware of the basis for the dispute.

"In a 2020 response to a Liberty Counsel filing, Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito wrote, 'This petition implicates important questions about the scope of our decision in Obergefell,'" Liberty Counsel explained. "In Justice Thomas' concurring opinion in Dobbs, he noted that the 'substantive' due process issues the court rejected in the abortion case may also apply to the Obergefell decision. Justices Thomas, Alito, and Roberts strongly dissented in Obergefell."

Liberty Counsel charged, "Anyone who stands up to the hateful agenda of the LGBTQ Mafia is demonized. All because the unhinged LGBTQ left will not tolerate religious freedom and wants to destroy anyone who disagrees."

The report continued, with a warning, "When they say 'coexist,' they mean that everyone must not only tolerate their wicked whims, but also accept and promote those whims … or be marginalized or eliminated. And as the continuing death threats against Kim and our Liberty Counsel staff members prove, these insane factions don't just want us to be silent — they want us dead."

It was Davis' decision when the Obergefell decision created that "right" to same-sex marriage, much like the faulty Roe created a "right" to abortion, that as a Christian she could not add her name to a legal document contravening God's design for marriage.

Liberty Counsel noted Justice Clarence Thomas pointed out, "Since Obergefell, parties have continually attempted to label people of good will as bigots merely for refusing to alter their religious beliefs in the wake of prevailing orthodoxy."

Now that Kamala Harris has been installed as the top of the Democratic Party's ballot this fall by leftist elites who pushed Joe Biden under the bus, so to speak, because of his declining mental abilities, some of her views are making the headlines.

Including that she has worked hard to force taxpayers to pay for transgender "health care," apparently to include body-altering chemicals and surgical mutilations.

It is in a video that she explains how she "worked behind the scenes" to make sure taxpayers were billed for such treatments for prison inmates in California, where she served as attorney general for a time.

In the video interview, Harris states, "I learned that the California Department of Corrections, a client of mine, a client of the attorney general … they were standing in the way of surgeries for prisoners. There was a specific case. When I learned I worked behind the scenes to make sure not only that woman got the services … they changed the policy in the state of California so that every transgender inmate in the state would have access to the medical care they desired and need."

While promoters of the ideology call it "medical care," it's actually the administration of drugs that alter a body's function, as well as cosmetic surgeries that sometimes remove healthy body parts.

There was a theme among social media commenters:

"This VP is bat**** crazy."

"She's dumber that goose ****."

And, "As a tax payer I do not want my taxes going to this. I work hard for my money to go to nonsense like this. Fix bridges, roads, pay off U.S. debt, help people with necessities like food and housing, etc. Things that actually matter."

Yet another was looking for help for his own perceived issue.

"You can get the medical care you desire in California prison? I identify as having a full set of hair but I'm bald. Will they pay for a hair transplant? Who I got to rob?"

Yet another used only one word: "Creepy."

Those who track such procedures note that surgeries often cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Lame duck Joe Biden has proposed a list of changes, including modifications to the U.S. Constitution, that would allow bureaucrats to have their way with the U.S. Supreme Court.

He wants to throw out justices after they've served just half of the time he spent in the U.S. Senate. He wants ways to force them to make decisions they otherwise might not make. And he wants to target President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee for 2024, with criminal charges.

What it all means, according to a pointed commentary by Jarrett Stepman, a columnist for the Daily Signal, is that Democrats want – and openly are working toward – a "one-party rule" under the "guise of 'democracy.'"

Stepman warned that Biden's agenda "would bring them another step closer to that reality," and would take away the stops that now prevent "the United States from becoming a banana republic, where losing power means being sent to prison—or worse."

Biden, whose declining mental abilities have been evident for a long now time, a decline cited by a special counsel who suggested not charging him for violating federal law regarding the handling of classified documents, boasted of his agenda in a column in the Washington Post.

Democratic nominee hopeful Kamala Harris endorsed it.

"In the plan, Biden—the byline says he wrote it, so let's pretend that's true for a moment—listed a series of radical proposals cloaked in language to give them the appearance of being reasonable," Stepman explained.

Biden claimed to have "great respect" for the nation's institutions and separation of powers.

Then he laid out his case "for their destruction."

His first point was to overturn by legislative action the ruling from the Supreme Court that the Constitution provides immunity for the president for his official acts in Congress.

Leftists were enraged by that decision because it throws a wrench in their lawfare campaign that has brought multiple civil and criminal cases against Trump.

In fact, the ruling said the president has immunity for official acts, but not necessarily for any other actions.

Biden's comments misrepresented the facts of the Democrats' lawfare, as he claimed "No one is above the law. Not the president of the United States. Not a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States," and demanded changes. But that is exactly what the Supreme Court ruling already said.

Then he demanded term limits for Supreme Court justices, under a plan that would allow a president to appoint a new justice every two years,

He concealed whether his plan would impact the current sitting justices, but coincidentally, the three most senior all are conservatives, and if it would apply, his scheme would change the court from a 6-3 conservative majority to a 5-4 liberal bloc.

"How convenient," Stepman noted.

Biden's during his time in the Senate in 1983, called such court-takeover plans "bonehead."

The third article of intervention Biden proposed to control the decisions of the court is to impose a "code" on the Supreme Court through which lawmakers or bureaucrats could insist that justices remove themselves from cases even if there's no reason.

"It's a clear violation of the separation of powers and based on the completely fabricated narrative that the Supreme Court is mired in ethics scandals," Stepman explained. Leftists have, in fact, created "scandals" involving some of the conservative justices as part of their political attacks.

Stepman noted that the court is one institution that Democrats and other leftists have yet to establish control over, and interestingly, it wasn't a problem until the court "shifted to the right."

"It's a fairly ironclad rule in American politics that any institution the Left doesn't control it will ultimately seek to destroy. So it goes with the modern Supreme Court," he said.

The court, in fact, now "represents a potential roadblock to their absolute power over American government."

So they are demanding to remove justices with whom they disagree, and install some of their own ideological compatriots.

Pro-abortion radicals were enraged when the Supreme Court struck down the faulty Roe decision from 1973, the leftist ruling that created out of nothing in the Constitution the federal "right" to abortion.

Some got violent.

And now some of those have pleaded guilty to felony counts for vandalizing a crisis pregnancy center.

A report from the Florida Capital Star explains four members of "Jane's Revenge" have admitted to threatening and vandalizing those centers across Florida.

It was Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody who filed court action against several defendants, Caleb Freestone, Amber Marie Smith-Stewart, Annarella Rivera and Gabriella Victoria Oropesa.

They faced charges of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.

It actually was the first time a state attorney general used the law to hold protesters of pregnancy care centers accountable, the report explained.

The administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has used the law often, but those attacks have been almost exclusively on those who protest the abortion industry's wanton destruction of the unborn. In fact, the Biden-Harris DOJ has sent multiple individuals, including grandmothers, to prison for extended terms because they sought to protect the unborn.

The law provides for civil and criminal penalties for those who "by force or threat of force … intentionally … intimidates or interferes with or attempts to … intimidate or interfere with any person because that person is or has been … providing reproductive health services."

The report explains the defendants vandalized at least three pregnancy resource centers in Florida.

Their destruction included spray paying slogans such as "If abortions aren't safe, neither are you."

They will be ordered to pay restitution, and they could face up to 10 years in prison at sentencing.

Further, they will be banned forever from being within 100 feet of crisis pregnancy centers.

In a statement, Moody said, "We will not allow radicals to threaten and intimidate women seeking help from crisis pregnancy centers or the counselors and health care professionals serving these women and their babies. In Florida, illegal actions have consequences, and I am proud of the work our attorneys did in this case to make sure these extremists were held accountable."

An undercover video from James O'Keefe and his O'Keefe Media Group reveals a top Democrat working for the Kamala Harris campaign and the Democratic National Committee explaining that Harris really can't win this year's presidential election.

Democrat worker Joyce DeCerce, who identifies with "he/him" identifiers under Joe Biden's campaign to normalize transgenderism, said, " I don't think Kamala Harris would win this year."

Why not?

She's "weirdly unpopular" and then too, "She doesn't have any accomplishments to speak of."

DeCerce is the "compliance manager" with the DNC and in that position reports to the federal government on the campaign's fundraising and expenditures.

"DeCerce admits that the DNC's engagement with donors is little more than a façade," the OMG report explains.

"You just put on a performance for them, a little show, right?" implying that the DNC merely tells donors what they want to hear in order to receive donations, DeCerce charges.

And DeCerce said the DNC knowingly fuels donors' "fantasies."

OMG reported that it tried to obtain comment from Kristin Hetherington, the CFO for the DNC, but "she hung up the phone in frustration after questioned if the DNC tells donors 'what they want to hear' and if they play to donors' 'fantasies,'" the report said.

A stunning new report by a former federal counterterrorism expert warns that not only is Hamas now a threat to the United States, it already runs "an extensive network" of supporters inside America who are linked to the jihadis of the international Muslim Brotherhood.

It is the Washington Times that is reporting on the work of John D. Guandolo, a former FBI agent and former counterterrorism strategist for the Pentagon.

He's studied the global Islamist movement for years, and his new report explains Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood jointly are involved in promoting that ideology.

Hamas, of course, is the terrorist organization that sent brutal thugs into Israel last Oct. 7, killing, often in brutal butchery, some 1,200 Israeli citizens.

Israel, in response, has promised to use its military to remove the threat that Hamas poses.

Guandolo said the Islamic organizations both "are engaged in ideological attacks on the American system and pose major internal security threats."

The report notes a key to the terror threat is the close alliance between Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and Marxist and community groups.

"The recent protests across college campuses and U.S. cities by communists and jihadis highlight the need for communities to identify and root out these hostile elements," Guandolo told the Times. "All of the jihadi attacks in the United States since and including Sept. 11, 2001, have been perpetrated with the direct help and involvement of organizations easily identifiable in this hostile U.S. Islamic movement."

Guandolo is a graduate of the Naval Academy and was in the Marines during the first Persian Gulf war, moving to the FBI for a number of years including a stint as a counterterrorism specialist focusing on the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic ideology and such.

He later worked with the Pentagon.

The Times report said, "Based on his research, Mr. Guandolo said Hamas and MB have been using both nonviolent and violent protests, along with intelligence-gathering and influence operations in effort spanning more than 60 years of covert operations, to shape government policy and public opinion in the United States."

MB is a group founded in Egypt in 1928 that calls for a global revolutionary Islamic movement toward a caliphate, while Hamas, founded in 1987, is a political movement with a militarized wing that is fighting Israel.

His report said, "Where 'the rubber meets the road' in towns all around America, communist and MB/Hamas organizations and leaders work to undermine liberty, erode effective security measures, and destroy the republican form of government demanded by the U.S. Constitution."

It warns that radical Islamists often work themselves into positions advising state and federal agencies that are responsible for protecting Americans, a move Guandolo called "extremely dangerous."

The report notes not many people fully understand the ideology of a mandatory global Islamic caliphate.

"The Hamas-Muslim Brotherhood Network in the United States" report was released just weeks ago, and was in response to Hamas' terrorism against Israel.

The report warns that without clearly understanding the Islamic movement, "America will lose this war because leaders have failed to do their most basic job when it comes to security matters — identifying the enemy and why the enemy is fighting."

And Guandolo warned of the tactics being used: "Deception is used to gather intelligence and misinform key U.S. leaders and components of government about Islam to confuse and disorient them — and the American people — to render them unable to identify them as an enemy until it is too late."

"It is important for citizens to understand the breadth of the jihadi and communist movements in America, and how significantly these elements have penetrated the key institutions of the U.S. federal government," the report said.

Is the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump somehow connected to a significant event in the Holy Bible?

Jonathan Cahn, an American Messianic rabbi and best-selling author, believes there may be a divine tie.

In a new video posted online (and below), Cahn examines the consecration of the priest Aaron by his brother Moses in the Old Testament, with the anointing of blood on the ear, thumb, and toe of the priest, as was seemingly echoed during the July 13 shooting of Trump during a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

"What happened on July 13 was unique, and to have the bullet miss Trump's head by centimeters is striking. And to have it miss his head by seconds, turning, or a second is striking," Cahn says.

"And to have it just touch his ear, and since the Bible does say something about blood on the ears, could there be something to this? Could God use a biblical sign of consecration to speak to a leader or nation concerning consecration?"

Cahn noted how the Book of Leviticus describes the rite of consecrating, or setting apart for God's purpose, a priest:

"And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
