Our best Diehard deal! Just $3 A Month https://www.gophnx.com/intro-offer-youtube Corbin Burnes cruised through his first five innings of work before running into issues with getting out of the sixth. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks bullpen couldn't hang on to a lead in a close one and the Snakes lose their second extra innings game in a row to the Tampa Bay Rays. We have more on Burnes' outing and if it was actually good, Jalen Beeks getting hit by a come-backer, and Tim Tawa hitting his fourth home run of the season. We also take another entirely too early look at the N HELL WEST standings, preview the upcoming series with Ronald Acuña and the Braves, and discuss D-backs minor league pitcher Daniel Eagen throwing an immaculate inning.

We are just ONE SLEEP away from MLB's Opening Day! But should MLB have done a better job at scheduling their festivities on a different day than NCAA's Sweet 16 round? We have more from Torey Lovullo and Mike Hazen on the addition of Jalen Beeks, who else made the bullpen, and the how depth added to this team during the offseason was crucial in overcoming the loss of Jordan Montgomery. We also have more on the D-backs airing 10 games on free TV in 2025 and the search for our new City Connect jerseys.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to No. 1 Pitt volleyball's electric and dominant win over No. 3 Penn State, which drew nearly 12,000 fans to the Petersen Events Center on Wednesday night. Can anyone stop the Panthers from winning a national title? And what made the atmosphere so special for the big win? Later, Jason reacts to the Pirates' latest bullpen implosion by David Bednar and Jalen Beeks; ponders the legacy of the Penguins Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang as training camp opens this week; and wonders if the Steelers defense is facing its toughest test yet this season in its NFL Week 3 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers at Acrisure Stadium?
Skyler and Evan are joined this week by Patrick Lyons to discuss the 2024 trade deadline... More specifically the Colorado Rockies and their inaction during said deadline. The Rockies made no moves on the day of the actual deadline and obtained just three prospects in exchange for Nick Mears and Jalen Beeks. Meanwhile the front office feeds us the same lines we usually hear about how contention is just around the corner despite not actually doing anything to help the Rockies fully rebuild and find a new contention window. Color us skeptical, but we just don't believe this is a team that will be competitive in 2025 after what will likely be back-to-back 100+ loss seasons. We wrap things up on a more positive note with Brenton Doyle running away with July Player of the Month and naming our July Pitcher of the Month. Learn more about your ad choices.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to the Pirates' moves at the MLB trade deadline Tuesday. Specifically, he gives his thoughts on headline acquisitions Bryan De La Cruz, formerly of the Miami Marlins, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa, former of the Toronto Blue Jays. Where do they fit in the Pirates' lineup and defensive alignment? How much can they help the club's frustrating offense? How much credit does GM Ben Cherington deserve for adding them in the final hour before the deadline without giving up any top prospects? And what should we make of more minor deals involving Martin Perez, Jalen Beeks, Josh Walker and more? Jason tackles those questions, analyzes the center field situation with Michael A. Taylor getting hot at the plate and gives quick thoughts on a busy first day in pads at Steelers training camp, where Russell Wilson and George Pickens provided offensive highlights.
Hour one with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise. The Pirates acquired outfielder Bryan De La Cruz, utilityman Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and reliever Jalen Beeks at the trade deadline. Ben Cherington made some solid deals, not a huge trade, but necessary ones to add offense and a reliever. Bryan De La Cruz profiles more as a DH but can play the field. His ceiling is a Teoscar Hernandez-type player. Craig thinks Chisholm would have been the better move but the Pirates weren't the second option in a deal. The Pirates have stolen July back from the Steelers.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to the Pirates comeback victory against the Houston Astros on Tuesday night, in which Michael A. Taylor's late homer ensured another strong start by Paul Skenes did not go to waste. He also talks GM Ben Cherington's remaining options before the MLB trade deadline. Will he make a move for remaining potential targets like the Tampa Bay Rays' Yandy Diaz, the Miami Marlins' Bryan De La Cruz or the Los Angeles Angels' Taylor Ward or will he stand pat? Then later, Jason analyzes Monday's trades: Pitcher Quinn Priester to the Boston Red Sox for minor league infielder Nick Yorke. And minor league pitcher Luis Peralta to the Colorado Rockies for reliever Jalen Beeks.
Today at 6 pm marks the deadline for MLB teams to make trades. The Pirates have already traded for Nick Yorke and Jalen Beeks. Today they made a flury of trades adding Josh Walker, Bryan De La Cruz, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, & Billy Cook while trading away Martin Perez to San Diego.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg loves when the Pirates are involved on trade deadline day, but isn't privy to what might be happening in the front office at this very moment. Greg is holding out hope that there is something big on the way – referencing the moves that were made in the last decade+ when the team was in it. Greg does like the acquisition of Jalen Beeks and thinks it fits a left-handed reliever need. Greg doesn't think their pitching will die on the vine this year. Why didn't the Pirates make a move to acquire someone like Jesse Winker? Greg thinks the analytics group will be tested because it's the first time Ben Cherington has been in a buying situation. Greg thinks Cherington will add to the lineup before 6 pm. What will the Pirates do in the next 90 minutes or so? Anything of significance? Steelers reporter Brooke Pryor from ESPN joined the show. Brooke answered questions about a potential injury to Roman Wilson today at practice. She doesn't think it's anything super serious and mentioned how Wilson had been getting some run with the one's at practice. The guys wanted Brooke to paint a picture of Russell Wilson so far at camp, who has been mostly inactive. What does Brooke think of the Justin Fields performance so far? Brooke talked about how things are shaking out on the offensive line so far.

Ben, Woods, and Paul are here for you on a Tuesday morning! We skip the foreplay and get right into last night's tough loss to the Rockies at Petco Park. Then Ben sets the menu for today's show before we get to our Padres Wrap-Up and continue to discuss the 5-4 loss to the Rockies, and whether Manny Machado should have swung at a first pitch fastball or not after Rockies pitcher Jalen Beeks just walked the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th. Listen here
Dane Myers hit a walk-off RBI single off Jalen Beeks, scoring Bryan De La Cruz in the bottom of the tenth inning to give the Miami Marlins a thrilling comeback win over the Colorado Rockies at Loan Depot Park.Ryan McMahon had doubled in Sean Bouchard in the top of the tenth inning to give the Colorado Rockies over the Miami Marlins 6-5. McMahon had three hits and two RBI's on the day.The Marlins scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, erasing a 5-0 deficit before stranding runners on second and third base to end the rally. Vidal Brujan- who had two hits and a run scored- led off the bottom of the ninth with a single, just the fourth hit of the night for Miami. Luis Arraez added an RBI single in the ninth, chasing Feltner, Dane Myers hit a pinch-hit two-run single. Josh Bell singled to load the bases to set the stage for Jesus Sanchez, who was benched last night. Sanchez was hit by a pitch to drive in a run and get them to within one. Emmanuel Rivera hit a sacrifice fly to tie it at 5, but Christian Bethancourt flew out to the wall with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, ending a five run rally and sending the game to extra innings.The lowly Rockies (7-22) came into town and beat the Miami Marlins – in the opener of this three-game series The Marlins (7-24) have lost eight games in a row.Rockies' starter Ryan Feltner dominated the Marlins for eight innings before getting knocked out of the game in the ninth. Feltner was 1-2 with a 5.68 ERA. He had allowed 18 runs on 34 hits in 25 starts- until today.Elehuris Montero's three-run home run in the first inning opened up a 5-0 lead, and the Rockies never looked back from there. Justin Beck added two hits apiece for Colorado, but the Rockies weren't able to add any insurance runs, and that ultimately helped cost them the game.The two teams play game two of their three-game series tomorrow in Miami, with first pitch set for 6:10pm. Dakota Hudson will start for the Rockies. The Marlins are undecided.We will be ‘LIVE' with Jim “Gries” Grieshaber, after this game- and every game- with your Locked On Marlins: POSTCAST.

This week, Skyler is joined by Patrick Lyons of DNVR Rockies to talk all about the Rockies' offseason moves thus far.

They also made several additions to the 40-man roster prior to the Rule-5 Draft while picking up reliever Jalen Beeks from Tampa Bay. They also discuss Patrick's Rookie of the Year voting ballot and Nolan Jones' 4th place finish before closing the episode with some transactional hopes for the team this offseason.

The Hot Stove has officially begun! Now that the Texas Rangers have been crowned World Series champions after beating the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games, the baseball world can move on to off-season moves. So, Tampa Bay Rays did exactly that by placing catcher Christian Bethancourt, left-handers Jalen Beeks and Josh Fleming, right-hander Cole Sulser, infielder Tristan Gray, and outfielder Raimel Tapia on outright waivers.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 3, Texas Rangers 2 Los Angeles Angels 12, Chicago White Sox 5 Tampa Bay Rays 4, Chicago Cubs 3 Tigers 3, Rangers 2 – Rogers, Marisnick lead Tigers over Rangers 3-2 Jake Rogers hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the sixth inning and Jake Marisnick followed with a run-scoring single in his Tigers debut, leading Detroit over the Texas Rangers 3-2. Texas took two of three and has won six straight road series for the first time. The Rangers' 35-20 record is the team's best 55-game start. Marcus Semien extended his hitting streak to 20 games with a double in the third. With the score 1-1, Nick Maton and Tyler Nevin started the sixth with singles off Dane Dunning. Angels 12, White Sox 5 – Ohtani homers twice, including career longest at 459 feet, Angels beat White Sox 12-5 Shohei Ohtani homered in consecutive innings, including a 459-foot drive that was the longest of his Major League Baseball career, and drove in four runs to lead the Los Angeles Angels over the Chicago White Sox 12-5. Mike Trout put the Angels ahead 2-0 with a 476-foot home run in the first. Ohtani drove a first-pitch fastball from Lance Lynn just to left of straightaway center for a 4-1 lead in the third. Ohtani hit a full count fastball more than a dozen rows over the bullpen in right-center in the fourth. Rays 4, Cubs 3 – Beeks escapes bases-loaded jam, Lowe, Siri hit homers as Rays beat Cubs 4-3 Brandon Lowe and Jose Siri each hit two-run homers late in the game, Jalen Beeks got the final two outs after coming in with the bases loaded and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Wednesday to avoid a three-game sweep. Lowe greeted Mark Leiter Jr. with a long two-run homer to center in the seventh to tie it at 2-all and Siri connected in the eighth to give Tampa Bay a 4-3 lead after Chicago scored a run. The Cubs loaded the bases in the ninth against Kevin Kelly. Beeks recorded his first save of the season. Today Tigers, Cubs, and White Sox are off MLB – Tigers’ Riley Greene on injured list with left leg stress fracture Centerfielder Riley Greene was put on the 10-day injured list by the Detroit Tigers because of a stress fracture in his left leg. Greene was injured during Detroit's 10-6 loss to Texas on Tuesday and left the game in the third inning. He was sent for tests and an MRI showed a stress fracture in his left fibia. The move came one day after the Tigers placed their best pitcher, Eduardo Rodriguez. on the 15-day injured list with a ruptured ligament in his left index finger. MLB – Cubs’ Steele leaves start against Rays because of left forearm tightness Chicago Cubs starter Justin Steele exited Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays after three innings because of left forearm tightness. Steele retired all nine batters he face. He got a visit from manager David Ross and a trainer with one out in the third. Steele retired the next two batters, with third baseman Patrick Wisdom making a lunging stab on Taylor Walls' line drive foul and stopping Jose Siri's hard grounder before throwing him out. Hayden Wesneski came in to start the fourth inning. Steele is 6-2 with a 2.65 ERA in 12 starts. NBA – 2023 NBA Finals – (best of seven) Tonight Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets, 8:30 p.m. (Game 1) NBA – Butler, Jokic lead Heat, Nuggets into a NBA Finals after unconventional paths Nikola Jokic wasn't supposed to be here. Neither was Jimmy Butler, for that matter. Jokic was drafted behind 40 other players in 2014. Butler was drafted behind 29 others in 2011. Jokic grew up in Serbia, not even thinking about the NBA. Butler didn't have the easiest upbringing in Texas, then went the junior-college route at the start of his journey toward the pros. And here they are. The NBA Finals. One of them is going to become a champion for the first time, with Jokic leading the Denver Nuggets and Butler leading the Miami Heat — a matchup that starts Thursday night in Denver, with the Nuggets heavily favored to win it all. NBA – Pistons reach agreement to hire former Suns coach Monty Williams The Detroit Pistons have reached an agreement to hire former Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams, according to two people familiar with the situation. One of the people told The Associated Press on Wednesday night that Williams agreed to a six-year contract. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced. Phoenix fired Williams two-plus weeks ago, two years after reaching the NBA Finals and a year after he won the league's coach of the year honors. Indy 500 – Fan whose car was damaged by flying tire at Indy 500 will receive new ride An Indianapolis 500 fan whose vehicle was damaged when a tire flew off a racecar and out of the track during the race will receive a new car. An Indianapolis Motor Speedway spokesperson tells The Indianapolis Star that Penske Entertainment will provide fan Robin Matthews with a new car. The wheel came off with less than 20 laps to go in Sunday's race when Felix Rosenqvist and Kyle Kirkwood collided. Kirkwood's left rear tire bounced off the track and over the fence in the second turn before landing in a parking lot. The wheel traveled about 350 yards before crashing into the front of Matthews' parked Chevrolet. NCAAMBB – Purdue’s Edey returning to school at NBA draft deadline Wednesday marked the deadline for players who were early entrants to the NBA draft to withdraw and return to college basketball.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 3, Texas Rangers 2 Los Angeles Angels 12, Chicago White Sox 5 Tampa Bay Rays 4, Chicago Cubs 3 Tigers 3, Rangers 2 – Rogers, Marisnick lead Tigers over Rangers 3-2 Jake Rogers hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the sixth inning and Jake Marisnick followed with a run-scoring single in his Tigers debut, leading Detroit over the Texas Rangers 3-2. Texas took two of three and has won six straight road series for the first time. The Rangers' 35-20 record is the team's best 55-game start. Marcus Semien extended his hitting streak to 20 games with a double in the third. With the score 1-1, Nick Maton and Tyler Nevin started the sixth with singles off Dane Dunning. Angels 12, White Sox 5 – Ohtani homers twice, including career longest at 459 feet, Angels beat White Sox 12-5 Shohei Ohtani homered in consecutive innings, including a 459-foot drive that was the longest of his Major League Baseball career, and drove in four runs to lead the Los Angeles Angels over the Chicago White Sox 12-5. Mike Trout put the Angels ahead 2-0 with a 476-foot home run in the first. Ohtani drove a first-pitch fastball from Lance Lynn just to left of straightaway center for a 4-1 lead in the third. Ohtani hit a full count fastball more than a dozen rows over the bullpen in right-center in the fourth. Rays 4, Cubs 3 – Beeks escapes bases-loaded jam, Lowe, Siri hit homers as Rays beat Cubs 4-3 Brandon Lowe and Jose Siri each hit two-run homers late in the game, Jalen Beeks got the final two outs after coming in with the bases loaded and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Wednesday to avoid a three-game sweep. Lowe greeted Mark Leiter Jr. with a long two-run homer to center in the seventh to tie it at 2-all and Siri connected in the eighth to give Tampa Bay a 4-3 lead after Chicago scored a run. The Cubs loaded the bases in the ninth against Kevin Kelly. Beeks recorded his first save of the season. Today Tigers, Cubs, and White Sox are off MLB – Tigers’ Riley Greene on injured list with left leg stress fracture Centerfielder Riley Greene was put on the 10-day injured list by the Detroit Tigers because of a stress fracture in his left leg. Greene was injured during Detroit's 10-6 loss to Texas on Tuesday and left the game in the third inning. He was sent for tests and an MRI showed a stress fracture in his left fibia. The move came one day after the Tigers placed their best pitcher, Eduardo Rodriguez. on the 15-day injured list with a ruptured ligament in his left index finger. MLB – Cubs’ Steele leaves start against Rays because of left forearm tightness Chicago Cubs starter Justin Steele exited Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays after three innings because of left forearm tightness. Steele retired all nine batters he face. He got a visit from manager David Ross and a trainer with one out in the third. Steele retired the next two batters, with third baseman Patrick Wisdom making a lunging stab on Taylor Walls' line drive foul and stopping Jose Siri's hard grounder before throwing him out. Hayden Wesneski came in to start the fourth inning. Steele is 6-2 with a 2.65 ERA in 12 starts.

https://pjmedia.com/culture/athena-thorne/2022/06/05/yes-real-men-still-exist-watch-them-stand-up-for-children-being-dragged-into-dallas-grooming-event-n1603310 https://twitter.com/i/status/1533119833377734657 -Play 0:40-1:09 Strong masculine men still do exist, and more on this episode of the CrossPolitic Daily News Brief… here’s what you missed over the weekend! The audio you just heard was from Youtuber and political commentator John Doyle, as he confronted parents (child abusers), who were taking their children to an event called “Drag the kids to Pride.” Whenever I see a child who has clearly been corrupted by adults with LGBTQ agendas, I get angry at the kid’s father. Did he abandon his children to the full-time attentions of a deranged mother? Is he present but too whipped to be a strong father? What man would allow such a thing to be done to his son or daughter? Yes, the mother enrages me as well, but a society in which real men exist would never allow the over-the-top grooming and wholesale destruction of childhood innocence that goes on these days. A recent example of real men in action occurred at a disgusting grooming party in a gay bar called Mr. Misster (get it??) in Dallas, Texas. The bar held an event called “DRAG THE KIDS TO PRIDE – A Family Friendly Drag Show” on Saturday. While most of us understand that a drag show fundamentally cannot be a family-friendly event, Mr. Misster thinks it’s just fine: Mr. Misster’s Drag The Kids To Pride Drag Show provides the ultimate family friendly pride experience. This signature event is a family friendly spin off of our famed Champagne Drag Brunch, with our resident DJ Charlie Phresh playing some of your favorite hits while host Nicole O’Hara Munro brings together some of the best drag entertainers around! Our under 21 guests can enjoy a special Mr. Misster Mocktails while the moms and dads can sip on one of our classic Mr. Misster Mimosa Towers. Do you want to hit the stage with the queens? We have FIVE limited spots for young performers to take the stage solo, or with a queen of their choosing! Come hangout with the Queens and enjoy this unique pride experience, fit for guests of all ages! The show was just as horrible and inappropriate for children as you would imagine. Men cross-dressed in sexually charged costumes and danced inappropriately for children, whose parents encouraged them to hand the performers money — just like at an adult strip bar! Then the children were made part of the act. First, they were brought on stage to play a game of musical chairs while a dragged-out emcee called the shots and the audience whooped and cheered: Once the children were comfortable being the center of attention, it was time for the next step in the groomy progression. Kids were invited on stage to catwalk with the performers. “Who wants to be a diva for the day?” asked a drag queen, as several kids joined him. All of this occurred in front of a large neon sign that read, “IT’S NOT GONNA LICK ITSELF.” Watch Texas-based YouTuber and political commenter John Doyle, flanked by a diverse group of manly men, as he confronts the deranged adults dragging their kids into (emotional disorders) pride… now I’ll also warn you, there is some language from a woman wearing a “love is love” shirt coming… https://twitter.com/i/status/1533119833377734657 - Play whole video I find it ironic when that screaming banshee says “you’re scaring the children!” Then proceeds to carpet bomb the heroic men with F-Bombs… Club Membership Plug: Stuff like this, is why we need to stop and take a moment to talk about Fight Laugh Feast Club membership.

We had 490,000 structure fires in 2020 in the United States. We see a lot of fires every year.” Last month, rumors began to circulate on social media that a string of fires and other destructive incidents, including a plane crash, at food processing plants throughout the United States appeared suspicious—despite no law enforcement officials saying that was the case. Conspiracy theorists implied the blazes were connected in some way and even that the federal government could have something to do with them. The rumors came to a head on April 22, when Fox News host Tucker Carlson stoked the conspiracy theorists’ flames, asking his viewers, “What’s going on here?” https://twitter.com/i/status/1517341372851703808 -Play Video According to NFPA.org, The truth, however, is that nothing is unusual about any of the fires that have occurred in food processing plants over the first few months of the year. Although no data is kept on fires that occur strictly at food processing facilities, the National Fire Incident Reporting System tracks fires within broader categories like manufacturing, refrigerated storage, and agricultural facilities. In 2019, the number of fires at all manufacturing or processing plants in the country topped 5,300—nearly 15 a day. Additionally, more than 2,000 fires occurred in agricultural, grain and livestock, and refrigerated storage facilities, which could all include food processing operations. Okay so maybe it is a conspiracy theory, but I’m just saying, conspiracy theorists have been proved right a lot lately. Democratic congressman proposes 1,000% tax on certain firearms https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/democratic-congressman-proposes-tax-firearms A U.S. House Democrat is proposing a federal 1,000% excise tax on assault weapons, and wants to pass it through reconciliation. Rep. Donald Beyer, D-Va., is introducing the bill which would tax all AR-15-style weapons at 1,000%, according to Business Insider. Beyer, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, told Business Insider that the measure is "sensible gun control." "What it's intended to do is provide another creative pathway to actually make some sensible gun control happen," Beyer said. "We think that a 1,000% fee on assault weapons is just the kind of restrictive measure that creates enough fiscal impact to qualify for reconciliation." A 1,000% tax on AR-15 style guns could add as much as $5,000 to $20,000 to the sale price, as the price for them is typically from $500 to over $2,000. The report states that several details of the bill aren't finalized yet, according to the report. Under the legislation which Beyer will propose, bullets would not be included in the 1,000% tax, but high-capacity magazines that have the ability to carry more than 10 rounds of ammunition would be included. He told Business Insider that he's open to discussing the high-percentage tax. "There's nothing magical about that thousand percent number. It's severe enough to actually inhibit and restrict sales. But also successful enough that it's not seen as an absolute ban." That bill just screams freedom doesn’t it? But hey, if you live in a state where your freedoms have been taken, it may be time for a change of scenery. What about the Palouse? Well I’d point you to Story Real Estate. Story Real Estate: Home.

US gas averaged $2.39 per gallon the day of President Biden's inauguration. It's since risen dramatically to $4.82 per gallon. Amid rising prices, the White House's official position has been to blame Russian President Vladimir Putin. Following Russia's invasion in Ukraine, the global economy largely sanctioned Russian oil. Meanwhile, President Biden claims he is largely helpless to stem the skyrocketing gasoline prices, as well as those of food items. "There’s a lot going on right now, but the idea we’re gonna be able to, you know, click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline is not likely in the near term, nor is it with regard to food," he said during a recent speech. Biden's critics say the president's policies are largely responsible for runaway national inflation. For example, Biden famously stopped construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, a project that could have solved America's energy crisis. Now it’s time for the topic I love… sports! Some good news out of Tampa Bay… Several Rays players break from organization's Pride Night logos, citing religious reasons https://www.foxnews.com/sports/rays-players-break-pride-night-logos-religious The Rays have been celebrating Pride Night 16 years, but that hasn’t stopped Some Tampa Bay Rays players from reportedly breaking from the organization’s support of the LGBTQ+ community Saturday during the team’s Pride Night against the Chicago White Sox. Most Rays players were wearing rainbow logos on their caps and sleeves. But the Tampa Bay Times noted that pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson were among those who didn’t wear the logos of support. Adam made a statement on behalf of the players who opted out and cited religious beliefs. "A lot of it comes down to faith, to like a faith-based decision. So it’s a hard decision. Because, ultimately, we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome and loved here," he said, via the Tampa Bay Times. "But when we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it’s just a lifestyle that maybe — not that they look down on anybody or think differently — it’s just that maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior. Just like (Jesus) encourages me as a heterosexual male to abstain from sex outside of the confines of marriage. It’s no different. "It’s not judgmental. It’s not looking down. It’s just what we believe the lifestyle he’s encouraged us to live, for our good, not to withhold. But, again, we love these men and women, we care about them and we want them to feel safe and welcome here." According to the newspaper, the Rays wanted full participation from all players but gave the option to "opt in." Wrapping up sports, last night, game 2 of the NBA Finals took place in San Francisco California… The Boston Celtics shocked many, myself included in game 1 of the finals, as they defeated the Warriors 120-108. The Celtics had a chance to do the unthinkable last night… going up 2-0 at Golden State… well, there’s a reason it’s unthinkable, because it didn’t happen. Golden State took game 2 by a score of 107-88. Throughout the first half it was close, with the Celtics’ defense really stifling the Warriors’ offense. However, in the third quarter, the Warriors blew the doors off of the C’s, winning the quarter 35-14. Steph Curry lead the way for the Warriors with 29 points, while Jordan Poole, the third splash brother added 17. On the Celtics’ side, Jayson Tatum showed up with 28 points, but had an ugly second half, while Jaylen Brown added 17 points. Game 3 takes place in Boston, at 9PM ET. Before we go, how about a little history… I noticed Google had a little gif in honor of Angelo Moriondo of Turin Italy. Apparently he’s the inventor of the Espresso Machine, and it’s his 171st birthday! Moriondo presented his invention at the General Expo of Turin in 1884, where it was awarded the bronze medal. The patent was awarded for a period of six years on 16 May 1884 under the title of "New steam machinery for the economic and instantaneous confection of coffee beverage, method ‘A. Moriondo’." The machine was built by a mechanic named Martina, working under the direct supervision of the inventor. It was successively updated with a patent on 20 November 1884, Vol 34, No, 381.The invention was then confirmed by international patent application after being registered in Paris on 23 October 1885. In the following years, Moriondo continued to improve his invention drastically, each improvement being patented Moriondo never took the invention to industrial-scale production. He limited himself to the construction of a few hand-built machines, which he jealously conserved in his establishments, convinced that this was a significant advertisement for them. Ian Bersten, a historian chronicling the history of coffee, describes the device as "the first Italian bar machine that controlled the supply of steam and water separately through the coffee" and Moriondo as "one of the earliest discoverers of the espresso machine".[8] Unlike true espresso machines, it was a bulk brewer, and did not brew coffee for the individual customer.

Some very white members of the Tampa Bay Rays decided to “opt out” of wearing Pride patches in a game against the White Sox over the weekend. You're reading that correctly.
https://pjmedia.com/culture/athena-thorne/2022/06/05/yes-real-men-still-exist-watch-them-stand-up-for-children-being-dragged-into-dallas-grooming-event-n1603310 https://twitter.com/i/status/1533119833377734657 -Play 0:40-1:09 Strong masculine men still do exist, and more on this episode of the CrossPolitic Daily News Brief… here’s what you missed over the weekend! The audio you just heard was from Youtuber and political commentator John Doyle, as he confronted parents (child abusers), who were taking their children to an event called “Drag the kids to Pride.” Whenever I see a child who has clearly been corrupted by adults with LGBTQ agendas, I get angry at the kid’s father. Did he abandon his children to the full-time attentions of a deranged mother? Is he present but too whipped to be a strong father? What man would allow such a thing to be done to his son or daughter? Yes, the mother enrages me as well, but a society in which real men exist would never allow the over-the-top grooming and wholesale destruction of childhood innocence that goes on these days. A recent example of real men in action occurred at a disgusting grooming party in a gay bar called Mr. Misster (get it??) in Dallas, Texas. The bar held an event called “DRAG THE KIDS TO PRIDE – A Family Friendly Drag Show” on Saturday. While most of us understand that a drag show fundamentally cannot be a family-friendly event, Mr. Misster thinks it’s just fine: Mr. Misster’s Drag The Kids To Pride Drag Show provides the ultimate family friendly pride experience. This signature event is a family friendly spin off of our famed Champagne Drag Brunch, with our resident DJ Charlie Phresh playing some of your favorite hits while host Nicole O’Hara Munro brings together some of the best drag entertainers around! Our under 21 guests can enjoy a special Mr. Misster Mocktails while the moms and dads can sip on one of our classic Mr. Misster Mimosa Towers. Do you want to hit the stage with the queens? We have FIVE limited spots for young performers to take the stage solo, or with a queen of their choosing! Come hangout with the Queens and enjoy this unique pride experience, fit for guests of all ages! The show was just as horrible and inappropriate for children as you would imagine. Men cross-dressed in sexually charged costumes and danced inappropriately for children, whose parents encouraged them to hand the performers money — just like at an adult strip bar! Then the children were made part of the act. First, they were brought on stage to play a game of musical chairs while a dragged-out emcee called the shots and the audience whooped and cheered: Once the children were comfortable being the center of attention, it was time for the next step in the groomy progression. Kids were invited on stage to catwalk with the performers. “Who wants to be a diva for the day?” asked a drag queen, as several kids joined him. All of this occurred in front of a large neon sign that read, “IT’S NOT GONNA LICK ITSELF.” Watch Texas-based YouTuber and political commenter John Doyle, flanked by a diverse group of manly men, as he confronts the deranged adults dragging their kids into (emotional disorders) pride… now I’ll also warn you, there is some language from a woman wearing a “love is love” shirt coming… https://twitter.com/i/status/1533119833377734657 - Play whole video I find it ironic when that screaming banshee says “you’re scaring the children!” Then proceeds to carpet bomb the heroic men with F-Bombs… Club Membership Plug: Stuff like this, is why we need to stop and take a moment to talk about Fight Laugh Feast Club membership.

We had 490,000 structure fires in 2020 in the United States. We see a lot of fires every year.” Last month, rumors began to circulate on social media that a string of fires and other destructive incidents, including a plane crash, at food processing plants throughout the United States appeared suspicious—despite no law enforcement officials saying that was the case. Conspiracy theorists implied the blazes were connected in some way and even that the federal government could have something to do with them. The rumors came to a head on April 22, when Fox News host Tucker Carlson stoked the conspiracy theorists’ flames, asking his viewers, “What’s going on here?” https://twitter.com/i/status/1517341372851703808 -Play Video According to NFPA.org, The truth, however, is that nothing is unusual about any of the fires that have occurred in food processing plants over the first few months of the year. Although no data is kept on fires that occur strictly at food processing facilities, the National Fire Incident Reporting System tracks fires within broader categories like manufacturing, refrigerated storage, and agricultural facilities. In 2019, the number of fires at all manufacturing or processing plants in the country topped 5,300—nearly 15 a day. Additionally, more than 2,000 fires occurred in agricultural, grain and livestock, and refrigerated storage facilities, which could all include food processing operations. Okay so maybe it is a conspiracy theory, but I’m just saying, conspiracy theorists have been proved right a lot lately. Democratic congressman proposes 1,000% tax on certain firearms https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/democratic-congressman-proposes-tax-firearms A U.S. House Democrat is proposing a federal 1,000% excise tax on assault weapons, and wants to pass it through reconciliation. Rep. Donald Beyer, D-Va., is introducing the bill which would tax all AR-15-style weapons at 1,000%, according to Business Insider. Beyer, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, told Business Insider that the measure is "sensible gun control." "What it's intended to do is provide another creative pathway to actually make some sensible gun control happen," Beyer said. "We think that a 1,000% fee on assault weapons is just the kind of restrictive measure that creates enough fiscal impact to qualify for reconciliation." A 1,000% tax on AR-15 style guns could add as much as $5,000 to $20,000 to the sale price, as the price for them is typically from $500 to over $2,000. The report states that several details of the bill aren't finalized yet, according to the report. Under the legislation which Beyer will propose, bullets would not be included in the 1,000% tax, but high-capacity magazines that have the ability to carry more than 10 rounds of ammunition would be included. He told Business Insider that he's open to discussing the high-percentage tax. "There's nothing magical about that thousand percent number. It's severe enough to actually inhibit and restrict sales. But also successful enough that it's not seen as an absolute ban." That bill just screams freedom doesn’t it?
