Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling Bill LeRoy an “insult to Jesus” because the veteran catcher and captain of the Savannah Bananas is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender. Standing in front of a roaring, sold-out Banana Ball crowd, LeRoy didn’t just clap back — he delivered a powerful, no-nonsense response that shook the stadium. “The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” LeRoy began, gripping the mic with calm intensity. “You want to know what’s a real insult to Jesus? Turning your back on people who need help while giving more to those who already have everything.” “You know what insults Jesus?” he continued, gesturing toward the crowd. “Separating families, shutting doors on those in need, and forgetting what ‘love thy neighbor’ actually means. That’s not the message I stand for — and it’s not the message this team stands for.” “You know what insults Jesus? Preaching values while ignoring compassion. Talking about faith while practicing division. That’s not faith — that’s politics dressed up as religion.” “I’m not a perfect Christian,” he said, a small smile crossing his face. “There’s only been one perfect man, and I’m not him. I’m just a catcher who believes in treating people right.” “Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… So why do we keep choosing hate, division, and fear instead?”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump called Rep. James Talarico's views an "insult to Jesus," not Bill LeRoy's; the quoted speech is copied from Talarico's actual response and LeRoy has not commented on Trump. snopes.com/fact-check/tru… x.com/bleroy28

Disney just fired the man who designed the visual identity of the entire MCU. 16 years. $30 billion at the box office. And they replaced him with freelancers. I’m going to put all of Andy Park’s contributions in the comments so you realize who this man actually is.
Marvel Studios Visual Development: 2010–2026 End of an era. I was there at the start of a team that broke the mold. 16 years, 40+ films, and 15 films led as Director of Visual Development, I couldn’t be prouder of the history we made. My journey continues… #Marvel #AndyPark

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

They didn’t have a choice. And you should probably read up on what Jackie Robinson had to say after he was done playing MLB. And I’m sure you would prefer if Black people didn’t hold anyone accountable for how they’ve been treated.
People should learn from Hank Aaron and Jackie Robinson. They were called all kinds of names. But they didn’t complain about it. Just smiled, went to work, and went home.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying [FBI Director] Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Trump despises women. He does not like seeing women succeed unless he can take credit or it's useful to him personally. Which makes this situation even more jarring. This should have been an easy PR victory for Trump. Nothing but upside for him personally. He could have called the U.S. women's hockey team and congratulated them, but he didn't. But even then, all he had to do on the call with the men's hockey team is congratulate them and throw in a line about being proud of both teams. Easy comms slam dunk but it's too much for a committed misogynist. He couldn't bring himself to do it. His impulse was to mock the women's team because that's how he sees women.

This is where your money is going. Not healthcare, childcare, housing, transportation: poorly run prison camps for individuals and families.
Do the math. That is roughly $413,000 per bed. Per bed. At a time when Americans are being told we cannot afford to secure the border properly, cannot afford better schools, cannot afford infrastructure, cannot afford relief for working families, we somehow can afford over 400 grand for a single detention slot. This is not about left or right. This is about oversight. When government spends $400,000 for one bed, taxpayers deserve transparency. What exactly does that figure include. Land acquisition. Construction. Security infrastructure. Staffing. Contracts. Who is getting paid. How are bids structured. Who is auditing the numbers. If you support border enforcement, you should still demand efficiency. If you oppose it, you should still demand accountability. Fiscal responsibility is not partisan. Government spending without scrutiny becomes a blank check. And blank checks are how power grows without limits. We the People are the shareholders. Start acting like it.

This is Doug Wilson. He is an extremist Christian Nationalist that has called for women to lose the right to vote and is the head of Pete Hegseth’s far right church. This is an unconstitutional and extreme attack on the 1st Amendment going completely unchecked by Congress. Hegseth is using his official position to make his religion the official one of the Department of Defense using official facilities, communications channels and personnel. This must end and must be investigated.
We have gathered at the Pentagon for our monthly worship service. We are One Nation Under God.

Proud open racism, whether from this coward or from Trumps white nationalist nominee Jeremy Carl, has no place in a government by the people and for the people. These pathetic hateful losers should be shamed out of office forever

This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official. It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this. Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept and normalize it.
If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.

Just because CBS kneels to Trump doesn’t mean the rest of us have to. Pass this along on every one of your social media accounts. Make sure it is seen far and wide in our country.
This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

James Van Der Beek spent the last year of his life fundraising for cancer treatment. He auctioned off Dawson’s Creek memorabilia. Costars launched Cameos to raise money for his care. A serious diagnosis in the US can financially destroy you. Universal healthcare saves lives.

They murdered an ER nurse because he was filming their evil. Cowards. Sick cowards. And if you're in the comments defending it -- you're a coward too
