L.A. Dodgers’ Star Pitcher Slams Team’s Capitulation to Blasphemous Trannies

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher Clayton Kershaw disapproved of his team’s decision to honor an anti-Catholic LGBT group during an upcoming game while trying to promote Christian faith by bringing back the team’s Christian Faith and Family Day.

“I think we were always going to do Christian Faith Day this year, but I think the timing of our announcement was sped up,” Kershaw said, as reported by the Western Journal.

“Picking a date and doing those different things was part of it as well. Yes, it was in response to the highlighting of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.”

He also added that the team should not have invited the blasphemous group that openly mocks the Catholic faith by using imagery of nuns and even Jesus Christ himself for their sexually deviant performances.

“I don’t agree with making fun of other people’s religions. It has nothing to do with anything other than that,” Kershaw said. “I just don’t think that, no matter what religion you are, you should make fun of somebody else’s religion.”

He, his wife — Ellen — and other people decided to bring back Christian Faith Day as a response to the LGBT propaganda.

“I think in these situations, instead of maybe criticizing or trying to find something wrong with a group, it’s better just to focus on what you do believe in. For me, that’s Jesus,” Kershaw said.

“It’s a great opportunity to see the platform that Jesus has given us and how to use that for his glory and not ours.”

However, Kershaw also added that he won’t participate in the boycott of the baseball team, even though Dodgers invited a group that openly mocks Catholics.

“As a follower of Christ, we’re supposed to love everybody well. And I think that means being able to be at a lot of different places and be able to be a part of a lot of different things,” he said.

BREAKING: Biden Sexual Assault Accuser Flees to Russia

BREAKING: Biden Sexual Assault Accuser Flees to Russia

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Tara Reade, who has levied credible accusations that President Joe Biden sexually assaulted her 30 years ago, announced at a surprise press conference Tuesday that she has fled to Russia amidst fears of retaliation.

Speaking to Russian media, Reade said she travelled to Moscow to promote her book. She said she decided to stay when “it became clear that going back might be a problem.”

Reade was light on specifics about the threats she’s received. But her move comes on the heels of her saying earlier this month that she feared being targeted for reprisals by the Biden regime.

“I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden,” Reade wrote on Twitter on May 7. “Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying, and intimidation over the last three years will not work. I am not suicidal. I should not be under investigation nor am I a foreign agent. I am a private citizen.”

She also said her decision was prompted partially by a phone conversation with Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who expressed concern about not being able to protect whistleblowers. Reade recently was interviewed by Gaetz and Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, R-Ga., about her allegations, and said she’ll still cooperate with any U.S. investigation into Biden’s sexual crimes.

Reade said she’ll apply for Russian citizenship.

“I’d like to apply for citizenship in Russia. I don’t know what will happen with that, but I promise to be a good citizen and to move forward with my life in a positive way,” she said.

Reade’s accusations against Biden were spotlighted in the media in the run-up to the 2020 election. She said the sitting president sexually assaulted her in a senate building on Capitol Hill in 1993, when she worked for him as a senate staffer.

“His hands were down my shirt and up my skirt,” she said in an interview at the time.

Reade also filed a police report in April of 2020 with the Washington Metropolitan Police Department, but the matter has since been dropped.

While Reade’s accusations have never been formally investigated, it was revealed in December that the DOJ has probed Reade over her accusations.

According to the Daily Caller, the DOJ asked Twitter to testify before a grand jury on Dec. 16 of 2020 and provide “all subscriber information” from Reade’s accounts.

Reade said at the time that she doesn’t “know why” her Twitter accounts were of interest to the FBI.

“Other than coming forward about Joe Biden, there would be no reason for them to do that,” she said.

Newsom Posts Anti-American Cartoon to Celebrate Memorial Day

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted an anti-American cartoon on Memorial Day, as others decorated the graves of fallen soldiers and remembered the Americans who died defending their country.

The cartoon depicted a young boy standing on a step ladder, stretching to reach books on a shelf. To the youth’s left was a corner of a desk, upon which sat a miniature American flag and a pencil holder labeled “USA.” To his right were five unlocked firearms (including three handguns, a scoped rifle and an unscoped rifle) hung on the wall.

Newsom posted the tweet without a caption at 9 a.m. Pacific Time on Monday.

One Twitter user, Mostly Peaceful Memes, pointed out that Newsom hadn’t mentioned Memorial Day.

“This is a weird thing to post on Memorial Day,” the anonymous account wrote.

Another Twitter user, Shawn Quinn, slammed Newsom for his attack on American imagery on Memorial Day.

“Gavin doesn’t have anything to say on Memorial Day about the brave US warriors who sacrificed all for our freedom,” Quinn wrote, pointing out the Governor’s failure to post about Memorial Day. “He’d rather admonish his political opposition because he only thinks of himself.”

Another Twitter user, Voltaire’s Ghost, was unsure about the meaning of the meme: “What does this even mean?”

The tweeted cartoon could also be interpreted as an attack on American conservatives, according to Twitchy.

After taking heat for nearly three hours regarding his lack of a Memorial Day message, Newsom did retweet his office’s Twitter account acknowledging Memorial Day.

One Twitter user, Karen Lott, noted that this post wasn’t even in Newsom’s words.

“Wheres gavins [sic] words about memorial day Just a retweet,” she wrote.

There was a statement about Memorial Day signed by Newsom attached to the tweet.

‘No Deal’: Republican Mavericks Revolt Against Biden-McCarthy Debt Ceiling Plan

‘No Deal’: Republican Mavericks Revolt Against Biden-McCarthy Debt Ceiling Plan

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) A small but growing number of Republicans are coming out against what they’ve criticized as an “unlimited debt ceiling increase” brokered between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

The Biden-McCarthy “Fiscal Responsibility Act” would reportedly increase the debt ceiling by at least $4 trillion and wouldn’t require Congress to revisit the issue until 2025, after the next Presidential election. House Republicans passed a bill last month that would have increased the debt ceiling by approximately $1.5 trillion, but that legislation floundered—with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., calling it “dead on arrival.”

Economists have warned that the new bill would likely need approval from the House and Senate by June 5, when the Treasury Department says it will run out of money to pay its debt obligations.

McCarthy has touted his bill as a win for fiscal responsibility, but a growing number of Republicans are saying “no deal” to the legislation.

The House Freedom Caucus held a press conference Tuesday to explain why members oppose what they called an “unlimited debt ceiling increase.”

“No one sent us here to borrow an additional $4 trillion and get nothing in return,” said Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas.

Calling the impending debate over the Fiscal Responsibility Act a “career-defining vote for every Republican,” Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., explained how the legislation would increase each American’s share of the national debt by at least some $32,000.

“Do you know what $1 trillion is? It’s about $8,000 for every man woman and child in the United States,” he said.

Bishop had even harsher words for McCarthy after the press conference. When a reporter asked him whether he thinks McCarthy is lying about the supposed fiscal benefits of his deal, Bishop responded in the affirmative.

“Yes, he’s lying,” he said, adding that he has lost confidence in the House Speaker.

“What basis is there for confidence?”

Some relatively moderate Republicans have joined Freedom Caucus members in opposing the Biden-McCarthy deal, including Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., and Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas.

Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, have also voiced opposition.

The Fiscal Responsibility Act was still being debated in the House Rules Committee at the publication of this article. At least two members of that committee signaled their opposition to the bill, but it looked set to make it out of that panel.

The House is scheduled to vote on the bill around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.

California Mob Attacks Marines on Memorial Day Weekend

California Mob Attacks Marines on Memorial Day Weekend

Editor’s note: Video contains graphic violence and language that may be unsuitable for some. 

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) A group of up to 40 teenagers mercilessly attacked three off-duty Marines at a California beach late Friday night, the New York Post reported.

Hunter Antonino, one of the attacked servicemen, said he and his friends had time off from Camp Pendleton, a Marine Corps training base in Oceanside, when a rowdy crowd set off fireworks and were becoming unruly.

“They were lighting off fireworks, they were being belligerent and obnoxious and annoying other people, so I went up to them and told them to stop,” Antonino told KCAL.

“We told them we were Marines so they should leave—but they didn’t,” he continued. “They just kept going at it.” 

What started as a request for the teens to stop lighting fireworks soon turned into a nightmare for the servicemen. The situation escalated from a fun night out to an all-out brawl—all caught on video.

The now-viral footage, which first spread via the Nextdoor platform, showed the Marines being followed like a pack of wolves by the teens as they walked toward the San Clemente Pier Bowl.

As the group of servicemen began to ascend the stairs, a voice from the back shouted for them to “get the f**k outta here”—-before a person sucker-punched the trailing serviceman.

Within seconds the group circled around the two Marines and yelled “Get that f***er'” and “f*** that f***er up.”

The video showed two victims, who appeared curled up in the fetal position on the ground while a crowd kicked and assaulted them. While only two victims were shown in the footage, a third Marine was also attacked but is not featured in the video.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department said on social media that two men sustained minor injuries in the accident.

One of them had an injury to the hand, while both of them had scraped knees. Additionally, they both complained of soreness in the abdomen, chest and head, the Daily Mail reported.

The victims refused medical treatment, and all “individuals responsible are identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Orange County Sheriff’s deputies said.

No arrests were made.

CUNY Commencement Speaker Calls Law ‘White Supremacy,’ Endorses ‘Revolution’

CUNY Commencement Speaker Calls Law ‘White Supremacy,’ Endorses ‘Revolution’

(Abdul–Rahman Oladimeji Bello, Headline USA) The City University of New York Law School’s commencement featured an address from a graduating speaker who condemned the law as “a manifestation of white supremacy,” Fox News reported. 

The commencement speaker, future lawyer Fatima Mousa Mohammed, was selected by the class of 2023 to deliver the address at the ceremony.

“I come to you all from the rich soil of Yemen, raised by the humble streets of Queens,” she said.

“I chose CUNY School of Law for its articulated mission [as one of the] few legal institutions… to recognize that the law is a manifestation of white supremacy that continues to oppress and suppress people in this nation and around the world,” she added.

Appearing to reject the institutional norms of democracy, Mohammed, an outspoken Islamic activist, called for a revolution to challenge oppressive institutions in the United States.

“No one person will save the world. No single movement will liberate the masses,” she said.

“Those who brought the ferocity of the violence, those who carry the revolution, the people, the masses, those who brought the ferocity of the violence, those who need our protection—they will carry this revolution,” she added.

She named institutions including the military, the police, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the U.S. prison system as some of the oppressive ones. 

 “No longer are we going to capitulate to oppressors,” she vowed. “We will no longer put our hope in their depraved consciousness.”

Mohammed also rattled off a litany of leftist boogeymen, scapegoats, buzzwords and anti-Semitic dog-whistles as possible targets for the future revolution.

“The joy and excitement that fills the auditorium… may it be the fuel for the fight against capitalism, racism, imperialism and Zionism around the world.”

CUNY initially hid the speech and took it down from YouTube. However, the school eventually released the video following outcry from Muslim activist groups including the Council on American–Islamic Relations, who accused them of silencing a pro-Palestinian voice. 

The school released a statement appearing to distance itself from the inflammatory remarks.

“Student speakers… offered congratulatory remarks and their own individual perspectives on advocating for social justice,” it said. “As with all such commencement remarks, they reflect the voices of those individuals.” 

Seattle Fire Department Tests Applicants on Social Justice

Seattle Fire Department Tests Applicants on Social Justice

(Robert Jonathan, Headline USA) For those looking to be promoted to lieutenant on the Seattle fire department, studying critical race theory is apparently up there in importance with having actual first-responder skills.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, race- and gender-related readings form an integral part of the material that would-be lieutenants are expected to master for their written exam.

For test prep, the city’s human resources department reportedly requires prospective lieutenants to study Ibram X. Kendi’s How to be An Antiracist, a memoir authored by a transgender firefighter, and another book about “unconscious bias.”

Retired Seattle firefighter Wayne Johnson, who helped craft some of the prior tests, told the Beacon that “this stuff has nothing to do with firefighting. It has everything to do with social engineering.”

The exam for fireboat engineers and fire captains also includes a social justice component.

One firefighter, who lost his job for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine, reportedly said, “These woke tests are making it harder for the macho guys to get hired. They weed out people who are not politically aligned.”

With reference to the Kendi treatise, a firefighter who took 2021 lieutenant’s exam said that “if I had only read that one book, I would have done really well. What we should be studying—high-rise fires, water supply—wasn’t emphasized as heavily.”

Separately, female recruits to the Seattle fire department who fail the initial physical fitness test reportedly often benefit from an immediate second chance—a privilege not extended to their male counterparts.

“At a time when the city desperately needs first responders, the fire service has grown more hostile to the sort of people who typically join it: big, burly men whose politics tend to be to the right of the average Seattle bureaucrat,” the Beacon asserted.

Controversy over the social-justice exam comes at a time when the department is short-staffed, due in part to a significant cohort of firefighters declining to comply with a COVID vaccine mandate.

Seattle’s police department is also undermanned for that and other reasons while crime continues to increase.

China Rejects Pentagon Request for High-Level Security Meeting

China Rejects Pentagon Request for High-Level Security Meeting

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) On Monday, China rejected a request for a meeting of Department of Defense ministers with the United States, the Daily Caller reported.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had intended to meet with his Chinese counterpart, much as has been done in the past.

But China, with relations continuing to sour between the two nations, abruptly declined the request for a meeting.

“Overnight, the PRC [China] informed the U.S. that they have declined our early May invitation for Secretary Austin to meet with PRC Minister of National Defense Li Shangfu in Singapore this week,” the Pentagon reportedly said in a statement to the Wall Street Journal.

Shangfu is China’s new defense minister, naturally leading Americans to want to meet in order to hash out the grounds of their relations.

Despite evidence that the Biden family is compromised by the Chinese communist government, tensions during President Joe Biden’s administration have escalated. The Asian superpower has recently allied itself with Russia and several other major oil-producing countries.

Nonetheless, Pentagon officials reaffirmed their commitment to open communication with China.

“The Department believes strongly in the importance of maintaining open lines of military-to-military communication between Washington and Beijing to ensure that competition does not veer into conflict,” the Pentagon reportedly wrote.

As national-defense relations crumble, other Biden officials have managed, at least, to arrange a meeting with their Chinese counterparts.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo met with Chinese security officials, and U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Burns had a conversation with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang.

However, the two defense administrations seem to be increasingly hostile in their relations.

“We’ve had a lot of difficulty, in terms of when we have proposed phone calls, proposed meetings, dialogues” said Ely Ratner, assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific security.

Ratner cited in particular Chinese concerns about United States sanctions placed on Gen. Li Shangfu as the primary reason for China’s unwillingness to cooperate.

Still, Ratner noted, the sanctions have no legal ramifications, meaning that “the ball is in their court at this point.”

Lululemon Employees Fired for Confronting Thieves

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Two women accused “athleisure” chain Lululemon of unjustly firing them after they attempted to protect the store from being ransacked and called police to report the occurrence at an Atlanta location.

According to the Daily Wire, Rachel Rogers and Jennifer Ferguson said the company let them go due to violation of the “zero-tolerance policy” of confronting potentially dangerous thieves.

“We are not supposed to get in the way,” Ferguson said.

“You kind of clear path for whatever they’re going to do, and then, after it’s over, you scan a QR code, and that’s that,” she continued. “We’ve been told not to put it in any notes, because that might scare other people. We’re not supposed to call the police, not really supposed to talk about it.”

Rogers recorded a video of the theft, which showed people in jackets, hoods and masks running in and out of the store with arms full of merchandise.

Lululemon released a statement clarifying that they dismissed the former employees because they confronted and recorded the thieves.

“The safety and security of our employees and guests is always Lululemon’s top priority, and we have policies and protocols in place to uphold a safe environment,” a Lululemon spokesperson said. “We take thefts and vandalism very seriously and our focus right now is supporting our educators, as well as continuing to collaborate with local partners and law enforcement.”

Police arrested the perpetrators as they attempted another robbery the following day.

Rogers and Ferguson have both faced serious financial problems since leaving Lululemon.

“That was my sole income,” Rogers said, “So, I did have to file for unemployment and use all of my savings to pay for my car payments, car insurance payments, my dog’s food, my food.”

Ferguson, who has four children, said she and her self-employed husband scrambled to find alternatives for health insurance.

Jane Fonda Claims All White Men Should Be Jailed, Blames for ‘Climate Crisis’

Jane Fonda Claims All White Men Should Be Jailed, Blames for ‘Climate Crisis’

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Actress Jane Fonda claimed that white men were responsible for the “climate crisis” and demanded their imprisonment.

According to the Daily Wire, Fonda made the statement on the Kelly Clarkson Show.

“Unfortunately, the people that have the least responsibility for it are hit the hardest,” Fonda said.

“Global South, people on islands, poor people of color—it is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop,” she continued. “We have to arrest and jail those men—they’re all men.”

She also claimed that racism and climate change go hand in hand.

“It’s good for us all to realize there would be no climate crisis if there was no racism,” she said. “There would be no climate crisis if there was no patriarchy. A mindset that sees things in a hierarchical way. White men are the things that matter and then everything else [is] at the bottom.”

Fonda has a long history of making radical statements, such as calling Vietnam War POWs “hypocrites and liars.”

The two-time Oscar winner famously was dubbed “Hanoi Jane” after a 1972 visit in which she posed beside an anti-aircraft gun with members of the North Vietnamese Army.

Although Fonda’s acting career peaked in the 1970s, she has remained on the scene as an outspoken activist and is now attempting to revive her Hollywood career with a series of feel-good comedies featuring ensemble casts of female silver-screen relics.

However, her provocative off-screen remarks while promoting the films may once again prove an unwanted distraction.

During an appearance on The View in March, she endorsed the murder of pro-lifers and was forced to offer an apology.

Fonda also has been no stranger in the past to climate alarmism.

In 2019, during an interview with Viceland’s Michael Moynihan, she claimed that “climate criminals” deserve the same treatment as post-war Nazis, and should go through Nuremberg-style trials.

“It’s too late now for moderation… Our government is being ruled by fossil fuel,” she said. “That’s a fact that can be proven… I mean, [our politicians] should all be tried for crimes against humanity and nature.”

When asked who she would want to face trial, Fonda claimed that fossil-fuel executives and politicians who were bought off should stand trial.

Fonda’s latest movie, Book Club: The Next Chapter, has been critically panned and grossed only $23.5 million to date on a $20 million total production budget.
