Major League Baseball Orders Teams to Ditch Pride Jerseys

In this Year of Consumer Backlash, it may go down as one of the biggest coups of 2023. While Americans bring the country’s mightiest brands to their knees, Major League Baseball has decided to dodge the flak, quietly ordering teams to ditch their Pride uniforms entirely.
The directive, which was issued at the height of the NHL’s players’ revolt, signals that the tables have, in fact, turned.
At a time when Americans are pummeling pro-trans companies, the sports world has been working since January to put out the fires lit by defenseman Ivan Provorov. The Russian, who triggered a moral uprising across North American locker rooms by refusing to wear a Pride jersey, was the catalyst for a league-wide mutiny no one saw coming.
In the months that followed, six teams decided to kill the rainbow gear altogether, and a steady drip of skaters and goalies opted out, creating a PR nightmare for the front office.
By the end of the regular season, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman admitted that …

Notes on soon-to-be-laicized and maybe murdered in prison as those of his kind often are, James Jackson

First, Barnhardt Podcast #180 recorded after Jackson’s re-arrest last October for CP in Kansas City while awaiting trial in Rhode Island, which stuck a fork in any hopes that he wasn’t guilty, in the second half discussed the Jackson situation in detail, so that’s available.
Some notes:
1. He’s guilty. He has pled guilty to receiving CP in exchange for having the more serious distribution of CP charge dropped. But he was almost certainly distributing as well. Anyone who persists in “he was set up” or even worse that he’s some sort of living saint martyr is delusional and suffering psychological problems themselves due to the scandal, I suppose. Such people should be gently but very firmly corrected and disabused of their fantasies, if possible. Clinging to obvious untruths is not virtuous. It’s pathetic and very spiritually dangerous.
2. If you’re feeling bad or even guilty because Jackson had you completely fooled, join the club. He certainly fooled me. In fact, before his arrest …

Thanks for posting the link to Barnhardt's blog. I was unaware that Father Hearty requested dismissal from the clerical state.
Still hard to believe that James Jackson was able to hide his intrinsically disordered deviancy in the 15 years he was at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Littleton, Colorado and that it only came to light after his move to Providence, Rhode Island. This revelation will no doubt provide a substantive test of the faith of many of his former parishioners and followers throughout the Church. By all appearances he not only talked the talk but he walked the walk. By all appearances he was the model of what a faithful Priest should be. This is simply the manifestation of the power that Satan possesses and the control he can exert if given the opportunity and why each and every one of us, particularly the ordained and consecrated religious, must remain ever vigilant to ward off his unending attacks.
Will we ever be able to completely trust any Priest again? Will we ever be …More

Elliot Page Scheduled Transgender Surgery Consultation 'Within Weeks' of Hearing Voices and Self-Mutilating

Elliot Page — the transgender Hollywood star formerly known as Ellen Page — has revealed that she was on a zoom call with a doctor to schedule transgender surgery “within weeks” of hearing voices in her head and engaging in a brutal round of self-mutilation, including punching herself in the face.
The “top surgery” to remove her breasts took place in November 2020. The following month, she
announced to the world that she had become “Elliot.”
All in all, it appears that it took Page less than a year from when she decided she was transgender to the actual surgery. Page made the revelations in an interview published Thursday in the Los Angeles Times in which she said the voices in her head told her she was transgender.
The mental episode took place in 2020 while Page was in COVID isolation in a cabin in Nova Scotia following her recent breakup with her wife.
First, Page attempted to physically knock herself out by punching herself repeatedly in the face until bruises formed. Then she …

She was such a pretty and feminine lass. Sweet face. Makes you wonder why she hates herself so much - what kind of pain she is going through that makes her self multiate so much. The fear is that she will continue to harm herself because the root of her problem is not being addressed.

New study shows marijuana use is directly linked to mental health risks in young people

Well, well, well.
If it isn't another mainstream story and clear scientific evidence that, in fact, conservatives from decades ago were absolutely correct.
This time, we come to the touchy subject of marijuana use. A new study recently published that shows that smoking pot clearly has negative mental effects and is directly related to all sorts of mental health issues, particularly in young people.
'Always positive for cannabis': More evidence shows weed's link to mental health risks in young adults
New research, involving millions of people worldwide over decades, adds to worries that heavy use of high-potency cannabis could exacerbate the mental health crisis in the U.S.

Ask any ER doctor in a city where it has been legalized. Multiple psychotic episodes per year, increasing ER traffic unnecessarily. A waste.

CNN: Women Marrying Themselves as ‘Symbolic Expression of Self-Love’

CNN spoke with four women who “married themselves” — a self-marriage officially referred to as “sologamy.”
The left-leaning news outlet painted “
sologamy” as pertaining more to mental health and “self-love.” rather than an extension of living an “auto-sexual” lifestyle — being sexually attracted to oneself — which has been addressed in other news articles on the topic.
“The concept of self-marriage, or sologamy, has been around for years…No data exists on how many people celebrate sologamy with ceremonies, but the practice has been explored in a handful of recent news articles,” CNN reported.
The women interviewed “described the act as a symbolic expression of self-love and an affirmation of a deep meaningful relationship with one’s self.”
“They also say it has nothing to do with swearing off future partnerships with a spouse, which they say is a popular misconception,” according to the report.
One of the women, body image coach Danni Adams, told the outlet she took several …

Did Chick-Fil-A just go woke? Fast food company announces new commitment to "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion"

Guys, I hate to do this to you, but I feel like it's my duty to inform you that Chick-Fil-A has crossed a MAJOR red line.
And no, it's not just their
cauliflower sandwich, though now that was clearly a sign that the company had strayed.
No, Chick-Fil-A has gone full woke Marxist, although I doubt any of the boomers in charge know it, endorsing wokeness with a department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Here's a closeup of their website:
Ian is correct. DEI is wokeness. Wokeness is Marxist.
You can slap some Bible verses in your DEI statement, you can couch it in the friendliest language possible, as Chick-Fil-A does in their statement, but that doesn't change the nature of DEI, or, as Gad Saad presciently dubbed it, "DIE."
Because everything it touches dies.
Now, the DEI program at CFA does some nice things. It's based on caring and community service.
So, if those are good things, why rag on CFA?
Simply speaking, it's because running a company based on DEI means seeing everything …

Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch Are Sponsoring 2023 Pride Parades

After facing much-deserved backlash for partnering with woman-pretender Dylan Mulvaney, Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch are doubling down on their endorsement of trans insanity by sponsoring numerous upcoming pride parades across the country.
On Thursday, The Daily Wire’s Spencer Lindquist
reported that the beer brand is listed as a sponsor for several upcoming LGBT pride events in cities such as Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, as well as St. Louis, Missouri. According to Lindquist, Bud Light will be co-sponsoring the 2023 Cincinnati Pride Parade alongside Planned Parenthood and the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. While the former performs horrific abortions on unborn babies, the latter provides harmful puberty blockers and performs trans surgeries on minors.
The Cincinnati Pride Parade did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment on when Bud Light provided its initial sponsorship for the group’s upcoming event.
“Meanwhile, in St. Louis, Missouri, where …

Dodgers Cave to Woke Mob, Invite Anti-Catholic Drag Queens 'Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence' to Pride Night

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reversed course and decided to invite the anti-Catholic drag queen group “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” to the team’s LGBTQ Pride Night.
As Breitbart News
reported last week, the Dodgers disinvited the drag queen group “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” after several Catholic groups decried the troupe for its anti-Catholic imagery and stance.
“The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence ‘use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit,’ according to their website. They were supposed to receive a Community Hero Award during the June 16 game,” the report noted.
“The nonprofit was founded in 1979 when three men dressed in full, traditional nuns’ habits — one of them carrying a machine gun — walked the streets of San Francisco on Easter Sunday,” it added.
At the time, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) chastised the Dodgers for including a group that clearly offended Christians, arguing that it goes against …

St. Ignatius of Antioch on the Power of Distinguishing

Madonna and Child with St Ignatius of Antioch and St Onophrius, Lorenzo Lotto, ARSH 1508, Borghese Gallery, Rome
Today is the feast of St. Ignatius of Antioch, who was a student of St. John the Apostle. Not bad. I love how in the image above, Our Lord is reaching toward St. Ignatius and handing to him His Sacred Heart, crowned with thorns, and pierced.
When I was reading my way into The Church (and being so scandalized by the Kennedys that I kept delaying my entry), one of the most helpful books I read was called “
The Four Witnesses: The Early Church in Her Own Words“, which is a compendium of quotations by the early Church Fathers, namely Ignatius of Antioch (died ARSH 110), Clement of Rome (died ARSH 99, consecrated a bishop by St. Peter), Justin Martyr (died ARSH 165), and Irenaeus of Lyon (student of Polycarp who was a student of John the Apostle, died ARSH 202). If you are genuinely interested in what EXACTLY was going on in the days, weeks and decades after Our Lord’s Passion, …
