Several Tampa Bay Rays Players Explain Why They Can’t Wear Team’s LGBT Logo: ‘We Believe in Jesus. By Steve Warren CBN mews
A number of Tampa Bay Rays players decided not to wear rainbow-colored logos on their uniforms as part of the team’s annual LGBTQ “Pride Night” on Saturday.
The Rays officials wanted full participation from the team but gave all of the players a choice to “opt-in” and wear a rainbow-colored logo added to the “TB” on their ball caps and a sunburst on the right sleeve of their game jerseys.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, more than half the players appeared to participate.
But some players refused to wear the LGBTQ+ logos including pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs, and Ryan Thompson. The pitchers and other players who chose not to wear the “Pride Night” apparel wore their regular home game jerseys and hat.
Adam was chosen by team officials to speak for the players who opted out. He told The Times it was primarily a “faith-based” decision.
“A lot of it comes down to faith, to like a faith-based decision,” the Rays pitcher said. “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. 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.”
Adam also told the newspaper that he and the rest of the players love and care about these men and women.
“It’s not judgmental. It’s not looking down,” he explained. “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.”
Barr: US Legal System Is ‘Rigged Against Republicans’
June 3, 2022 Updated: June 3, 2022
Former Attorney General William Barr called the Russiagate “a dirty political trick” against former President Donald Trump and criticized the justice system as “rigged” to target Republicans.
“I thought we were heading into a constitutional crisis,” Barr told conservative talk radio host Glenn Beck in a recent episode, after being asked about his return to politics between 2019 and 2020. Barr then brought up the Russia probe against Donald Trump, the second president he served as the attorney general after George H.W. Bush.
“Whatever you think of Trump,” he explained, “the fact is that the whole Russiagate thing was a grave injustice. It appears to be a dirty political trick that was used first to hobble him and then potentially to drive him from office.”
He said he believes Hillary Clinton’s Russiagate scandal was “seditious,” referencing the scheme that began in early 2016 to vilify Trump as an agent of the Kremlin.
Such remarks, however, were soon followed by the acquittal of Michael Sussmann as a jury on May 31 found him not guilty of lying to the FBI. Prosecutors accused the former Clinton campaign cybersecurity lawyer of not disclosing who he worked for to a top FBI official ahead of the 2016 election.
His tip—an alleged link between then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russia—also failed to prove any Russian collusion.
The jury, from a largely Democrat-leaning pool of the nation’s capital, ultimately rejected the prosecution’s claims. Defense Attorney Sean Berkowitz accused Durham, who was appointed by Barr during the Trump Administration to probe the origins of the now disproven Russiagate, of picking evidence to fit a narrative.
“I do think there is a degree to which the system had a double standard, and still has a double standard, and is rigged against Republicans,” Barr said on the podcast. “For an example, while I was Attorney General, no case that was embarrassing to the Democrats was leaked. However, cases that hurt Republicans were leaked.”

Federal Agencies Celebrate Pride, Ignore Memorial Day Suzanne Bowdey
If you’re wondering where America’s heroes rank on Joe Biden’s list of priorities, try below the rainbow flag. While federal agencies have been tripping over themselves to pledge allegiance to LGBT activism, two couldn’t be bothered to recognize the fallen troops who make our freedom possible. Despite a government-wide tweet-fest over Pride Month, the Departments of Justice and Treasury managed to ignore Memorial Day altogether.
Family Research Council’s executive vice president, Lt. General (Ret.) Jerry Boykin could only shake his head at the administration’s tunnel vision. “It’s astounding that any government agency would refuse to acknowledge and honor the military men and women who died fighting for this country. We see this administration setting aside an entire month to recognize and celebrate with the LGBT community, while at the same time, we have a large number of homeless veterans and others with severe disabilities and PTSD. When are we going to set aside a designated period of time to help them?”
Spot On
This is so very true. I don’t know if I have ever had a straight answer from a liberal. They talk in circles and then get mad and call you names. Or say it’s Trump’s fault. LOL. rh
Ex-Navy SEAL’s One-Word Response When Asked the Best Way to Prevent Horrific Mass Shootings
5/31/2022 06:20:30 PM Billy Hallowell
Veteran Navy SEAL Jimmy Graham delivered a one-word answer when asked to reveal the most powerful preventative deterrent to violent mass shootings like the one that unfolded this week in Uvalde, Texas.
“Jesus,” he said without missing a beat. He then expounded on his belief America has strayed from its biblical foundations.
“I would plead with people to return to the foundation that built this nation,” he said. “There are biblical foundations that built this nation. They’re proven to work, and we’ve chosen not to use them.”
Graham added, “There’s nothing wrong with the plan; we’ve just chosen not to do it.”
The ex-SEAL is the founder of Able Shepherd, a training program that equips people to protect churches, schools, and other institutions. He deals daily with the kinds of training needed to prepare people for dangerous situations
My friends Jesus is the only solution to the ills and depravity of this world! We cannot deny evil, it is present, our only hope is a return to moral and Godly values. A great move of repentance and a cry for mercy in this nation. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people…….rh
Judge Alito Halts Recount of Pennsylvania Ballots Received that Lacked Required Date After the Recent Primary — (thank God for Justice Alito, he is single-handedly trying to save our democracy.) rh

The administrative stay Alito issued…
School shooting in Texas
Why was the door propped open? Why did law enforcement stand down? Why is the timeline so confusing? Why is there a governmental race to ban guns or at the very least to put restrictions on them? Even so called pro 2nd amendment types are scurrying to microphones to agree to pass serious legislation to limit guns. I want answers, but we know no answers are forthcoming.
America has no farther than it’s own cities of Chicago and New York among others to realize gun restriction never keeps guns and gun violence out of communities.
My fear is that we could be on a slippery slope toward losing our constitutional rights of gun ownership. If that were ever to happen, America as we now it will be done for! Look no further than Australia and it’s heavy handed approach to it’s citizens to see our future.
I refuse to participate in the new normal. I refuse to give up my guns, and so will multiple millions of other patriotic freedom loving Americans!
