Rio Olympics Already a Mess<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH:   We\u2019ve got football season coming up.  There\u2019s any number of things.  The Olympics.  I can\u2019t believe… I read this stuff and nothing gets a rise out of people.  I mean, Olympic swimmers are being told, “Don\u2019t put your head under the water because you\u2019re swimming in sewage.”  “Oh, okay! Cool.  Fine.  Thanks for the tip.”  Olympic sailors… Do you know that sailing yachts — something that rich, Wall Street guys do. Sailing yachts is an Olympic sport, and they\u2019ve even been warned of the condition of the water. <\/p>\n

It can eat away the hull of the boat and they might drown before the end of the competition.  So they\u2019re supposed to be careful and spray a bunch of anti-sewage stuff on the hull.  And to think that Obama could not talk them out of going there and instead going to Chicago.  Anyway, my friends, speaking… (interruption) You know, that\u2019s a good point. (laughing) It might be better off in Rio, because at least in Rio the crime is kidnapping.  But, hey, so what? We now pay ransom! It isn\u2019t any big deal anymore.  New government policy.  <\/p>\n

Khan: Allah Causing Trump to Make Mistakes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Apparently, ladies and gentlemen, the esteemed Democrat, Mr. Khizr Khan… Remember him from the Democratic Convention? Apparently Mr. Khan, who had professed his fatigue with media appearances… he said he wanted to go back to his private and personal life after having served his purpose for Mrs. Clinton. Apparently, he actually can\u2019t get enough TV.  He was on Pakistan TV or Pakistani TV show, and it is being reported that Khizr Khan said that “Allah, may peace be upon him, is causing Trump to make stupid mistakes.” <\/p>\n

“Allah,” as in “Allah Akbar,” has interceded in the election and is causing Trump to make mistakes. <\/p>\n

Well, this is another story that you will not see anything about outside of hearing it here or maybe elsewhere in conservative media.  <\/p>\n

Pope Francis Offends the Transgenders<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH: Pope Francis, have you heard what Pope Francis did?  The transgender thing.  Pope Francis.  He was in… I\u2019ll tell you what he said and I\u2019ll give you the details.  It\u2019s a story in the AP:  “Pope Francis Describes Transgenderism as the ‘Annihilation of Man\u2019 — Pope Francis has enraged transgender activists after describing the idea of gender fluidity as the ‘annihilation of man.\u2019 The Pope, who is known for his more liberal views on issues such as homosexuality, made the remarks at a closed meeting with Bishops in Krakow,” that\u2019s Poland, for those of you in Rio Linda, “however a transcript of the conversation was later released by the Vatican.<\/p>\n

“[Il Papa said,] ‘Today, in schools they are teaching this to children — to children! — that everyone can choose their gender,\u2019 as a result of ‘persons and institutions who donate money.\u2019  He went on to describe the process of ‘ideological colonizing\u2019 backed by ‘very influential countries,\u2019 which he did not identify. One such ‘colonization,\u2019 he said, ‘I\u2019ll say it clearly… is gender.\u2019  The [pope\u2019s] comments have upset LGBT activists, with Marianne Duddy-Burke, the executive director of the LGBT Catholic organization DignityUSA, claiming that the comments show his ‘dangerous ignorance of gender identities.'”<\/line><\/p>\n

There is… I can\u2019t remember the man\u2019s name. I\u2019m sure someone will furnish it to me momentarily. I\u2019m having a mental block. He\u2019s the former head of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University, and I thought this guy would catch hell. There was a story on it a year ago now. He came out and said that transgenderism is a mental disorder, and for psychiatry or psychology to engage in any action that treats it and justifies it or conducts surgery to further it is actually committing a gigantic act against humanity. <\/p>\n

He said that transgenders are suffering from a mental disorder and it is a great disservice to them to treat this as something legitimate that can be fixed. (interruption)  Dr. Paul McHugh, that\u2019s who it is.  Dr. Paul McHugh. He went on to say that it\u2019s very dangerous and damaging to say that this is something that can be fixed by surgery. He went on to assail this as a mental disorder, and there wasn\u2019t one peep.  Maybe because it\u2019s he\u2019s retired.  No, I know why.  It doesn\u2019t fit the news that the Drive-By Media wants to report. <\/p>\n

I think they judge, “Hey, we can\u2019t attack this guy.  This guy is Johns Hopkins.  He\u2019s pretty good on other issues.”  But on this, they just decided they wouldn\u2019t succeed trying to destroy him.  So they decide just to ignore it so that nobody would know what he said.  Now the pope comes along and describes transgenderism as “the annihilation of man.”  Marianne Duddy-Burke, again, “the executive director of the LGBT Catholic organization DignityUSA, claim[s] that the comments show his ‘dangerous ignorance of gender identities.\u2019<\/p>\n

“‘It\u2019s very troubling that the pope would say this,\u2019 Ms. Duddy-Burke continued. ‘It also shows that the pope doesn\u2019t understand the danger that his words can mean for gender-nonconforming people, particularly those who live in countries with laws or cultural pressures that put these people at risk for violence.\u2019  The pope was similarly denounced by the LGBT news site PinkNews after his comments…” So it\u2019s not all a bed of roses out there in a number of different places.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
