Washington Nationals Director of Community Relations Admits on Hidden Camera to Discriminating Against Christian Pitcher Trevor Williams

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released an undercover video of Washington Nationals Director of Community Relations, Sean Hudson, admitting to religious discrimination against Christian pitcher Trevor Williams.

Hudson told the OMG undercover journalist that he also surveilled the Nationals’ fans’ Google history.

“One of our pitchers, Trevor Williams. He’s super Christian-Catholic, all these tattoos that mean a lot,” Hudson told the undercover reporter.

“The Dodgers had a group… who were drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuns. [Trevor Williams] went on social media like… ‘This is my religion. You all are mocking it,’” he said.

“Because of that, we don’t use [Trevor Williams] on social [media],” Hudson added.

“Like, when they’re like, is a hot dog a sandwich? And like, the players come up, you know what I mean? Like, we don’t ask [Trevor Williams],” Hudson admitted.

Hudson then told the undercover reporter that the Nationals assign fans to different groups based on their Google history.

“If you ever come to a Nats game, there is someone on our team who is responsible for figuring out everything about you and assigning you into a bucket of people. If you’re accepting cookies, we’re getting a plethora of your Google history,” he said.

THEY’VE LEARNED NOTHING: California Democrat Governor Candidate Tom Steyer Says ‘I’m Totally in Favor of Trans Athletes in High School’

Democrats learned absolutely nothing from the 2024 election and this proves it.

During a recent podcast appearance, Tom Steyer, the liberal billionaire Democrat running for governor of California, said that he is ‘totally’ in favor of trans athletes in high school.

This technically violates two public sentiments on this issue. Not only do people not want trans athletes in high school sports, people don’t want minors to be allowed to transition genders at all.

The 2024 election made the public’s position on this crystal clear but the Democrats just don’t care.

FOX News reports:

California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer defended transgender athletes competing in high school sports in a podcast posted on Sunday, arguing that excluding transgendered youth from athletics would worsen the emotional and mental health struggles many already face.

“I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school,” Steyer told “I’ve Had It” podcast host Jennifer Welch.

“When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid, and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide, then you think, ‘We’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport.’ It’s like, no we’re not.”

Steyer made similar remarks when speaking to CBS Los Angeles but also branded dissidents for perpetuating a “right-wing attempt” to smear transgender individuals.

“To be clear, this is not some huge epidemic,” he said. “This is a right-wing attempt to victimize and villainize already vulnerable and desperate people, and my heart completely goes out to the people who are so sad, feel so rejected, and so unaccepted that half of them would try to kill themselves.”

Steyer is among a crowded field of Democrats vying to retain party control of the governorship once incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term expires.

Hakeem Jeffries: We Are Calling for ‘Black Athletes to Abandon SEC Schools’

Thursday on MS NOW’s “All In,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) reiterated the Congressional Black Caucus’ call for “black athletes to abandon SEC schools” over redistricting efforts.

Host Chris Hayes said, “You know, there’s been calls for, the CBC, Congressional Black Caucus has called for athletes, to boycott the SEC conference where, you know, schools like Ole Miss and Tennessee and the states that are that are contemplating this, Gamecocks in South Carolina, the SEC, in sort of opposition to this is a kind of interesting point of leverage. And you echoed that today. Tell me about why you think that makes sense.”

Jeffries said, “Well, we are proud to stand with the NAACP that has appropriately called for black athletes to abandon SEC schools when these schools are in states that are targeting in an unprecedented fashion, black political representation. And our view is that if there’s no representation, there should be no athletic or sports participation. And this comes from a long line of, you know, African-American athletes rising to the occasion. You know, this is a Muhammad Ali moment. This is a Bill Russell moment. It’s a Jackie Robinson moment. We understand that it’s going to require a level of courage and character and conviction and these are personal decisions that will have to be made. But it certainly is our view that there will be athletes who are going to make the decision based on this racially, you know, egregious gerrymandering that’s taking place, a return to Jim Crow like tactics in the South, that there will be black athletes who will make a decision to take their talents elsewhere.”

Taxpayers forced to foot billion-dollar-bill for FIFA World Cup games

On last night’s episode of The Ezra Levant Show, B.C. director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation Carson Binda discussed how Canadian taxpayers are being forced to spend approximately $1 billion to host part of the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

Canada will host 13 matches during the World Cup, which runs across North America from June 11 to July 19, 2026. The matches will be split between two Canadian host cities: Toronto (6 matches) and Vancouver (7 matches).

Binda condemned federal, provincial and municipal politicians for allocating such huge sums of taxpayers’ hard-earned funds on a sporting event like this.

“Politicians are wasting a million dollars per minute hosting a handful of international soccer games,” he said. “This is an outrageous amount of money coming right from your pocket going out the door on these soccer games,” Binda continued.

“FIFA is leaving taxpayers with big pocketbook pain, without the promised economic gain,” he added.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer estimates the total public cost at approximately $1.07 billion, with the federal government contributing $473 million and the remainder covered by provincial and municipal governments.

More than one million visitors are projected to travel to Canada for the World Cup matches in Toronto and Vancouver. Toronto’s hosting budget stands at $380 million, covering operating and capital costs such as stadium upgrades and event services.

Hah! Woke Mob Calls Out Megan Rapinoe for Luxury World Cup Ticket Pitch

Perpetually outraged and angry former women’s soccer player Megan Rapinoe is getting flamed by her woke fans for getting paid to shill a luxury World Cup ticket in the rarified air of the wealthy.

Her fans, who love her consistent woke torch-carrying and her endless expressions of Trump Derangement Syndrome, are not loving her appeal to the 1%.

In an ad for FIFA shared on her Instagram, Rapinoe touts the perks of having money, “Here’s everything a @fifahospitality package gets you. It’s the experience of a lifetime. #FIFAWorldCup.”

“With hospitality, you get a guaranteed ticket with premium seating.”

As visuals show champagne being passed, she adds, “With hospitality, you get a ticket plus dedicated entry, unlimited food and drinks, and plenty of time before and after the match to enjoy it all.”

According to Fox News,  you can get it for the low, low price of $6,050 PER TICKET to attend the June 12 USA-Paraguay match in Los Angeles with access to the Pitchside Lounge.

Clearly out of range for most Americans.

Mother of Trans Track Star Criticizes New Policy Allowing Girls to Share First Place Podium

The mother of a transgender high school athlete publicly trashed California’s policy allowing girls to share the first place podium if they came in second.

AB Hernandez came in first at three events during Saturday’s California Interscholastic Federation’s Southern Section championship final: long jump, high jump and triple jump. Despite that, girls who came in second were allowed to share the podium due to a new California policy, per Fox News.

Trans athlete AB Hernandez won first place in the high jump, long jump and triple jump at the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section finals on Saturday. So too did the girl who would have finished first, based on a rule enacted last year that awarded any female athlete that finished behind a trans athlete a higher placement.

The CIF enacted a pilot program for the state finals last May that awarded any female athlete that finished behind a trans athlete one higher spot, which resulted in girls sharing podium spots with Hernandez for the championship. The program also ensured any female athlete who finished one spot out of qualifying for the state finals in events that included a trans competitor, to compete for the title as well.

Nereyda Hernandez, the mother of AB, decried the new policy on social media when she shared a post from Rainbow Families Action.

“All these big, tough ex-athletes at CIF, and the most courage they could muster was to hand this to coaches at AB’s meet today,” the group wrote. “Not one of them was brave enough to look her or her mother in the eye and say: ‘This whole project of violating Ed Code is aimed at you. A child.’”

Hernandez also wrote that her “heart was full watching A.B compete.”
“Today at the CIF Track & Field Finals my heart was full watching A.B compete,” she wrote after her son’s competition.

“No matter how differently she may be seen by some, she continues to walk onto that field with the most beautiful smile on her face, gives EVERY event her ALL, and carries herself with grace, determination, and sportsmanship,” she wrote.

Vancouver spends $182K on ‘gender safety’ bureaucracy for FIFA World Cup

The City of Vancouver is preparing to spend more than $182,000 on so-called “gender safety” and “vulnerable resident initiatives” tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to a newly posted contracting notice.

Under a Notice of Intent to Contract posted to the procurement site MERX, the city says it plans to award multiple vendors funding for “additional community organizations event time capacity” connected to the city’s “Host City Human Rights Action Plan.”

The contract runs from May 26 to July 19, 2026, with a listed value of $182,184.

According to the notice, the money is specifically earmarked to “implement gender safety, accessibility and vulnerable resident initiatives” during the World Cup festivities.

The timing is raising eyebrows, especially in a city that has spent years aggressively promoting gender ideology policies while downplaying public concerns about women’s spaces, public disorder, and safety issues tied to addiction and homelessness.

Now, with the eyes of the world arriving for the FIFA tournament, city hall suddenly appears eager to showcase its commitment to “gender safety” — and is paying outside organizations to help manage the optics.

The procurement notice does not clearly define what “gender safety” initiatives will involve, which organizations are expected to receive funding, or how success will be measured.

Nor does it explain why existing city staff and public safety infrastructure are insufficient to handle these responsibilities during a six-week international sporting event.

The spending falls under Vancouver’s broader Human Rights Action Plan tied to its role as a FIFA host city, a framework that has increasingly blended public event management with activist-driven social programming.

Why does a soccer tournament now require taxpayer-funded “gender safety” consultants and advocacy programming, particularly at a time when Vancouver residents continue to grapple with rising living costs, public safety concerns, drug crises, and strained city services.

The original procurement notice can be viewed on MERX procurement listing.

NBA Legend Magic Johnson’s Gushing Endorsement of Failed LA Mayor Karen Bass Totally Backfires After X Users Uncover This Damning Fact

NBA all-time great and self-made billionaire Magic Johnson made a completely boneheaded political decision that is coming back to haunt him after X users pointed out an inconvenient truth.

On Sunday, Johnson issued a gushing endorsement of failed LA mayor Karen Bass in a video posted on her X account. After first noting their personal connection (Johnson has known Bass for three decades), Johnson lavished praise on her supposed ‘accomplishments,’ including her record on homelessness and crime.

Then, Bass appeared on screen. In a clearly rehearsed stunt, the two embraced before Johnson slobbered over Bass some more.

“Listen, you took on a tough job here, and you’ve done a fabulous job, and all of us appreciate your effort and what you’re doing, and we look forward to helping you continue your mission and the things that you have in store, your vision for the city,” he tells her. “And tell me what I need to do.”

Bass then praises Johnson in response before the retired basketball star hails her for creating jobs as the video ends.

After the video went viral, X users quickly discovered that Johnson lives in a huge mansion in Beverly Park, a gated community in Beverly Hills. Perfectly cordoned off from all of the problems that ordinary Angelinos face.

Moreover, Beverly Hills is its own city and has its own mayor. This means he cannot even vote for Bass for mayor.

There’s also another factor regarding Johnson’s home: it lies in a high fire-hazard severity zone, just like Pacific Palisades, which burned under Bass’s watch. Giving her the seal of approval is like having the arsonist serve as the firefighter.

Just imagine if Bass gets re-elected and, during her second term in office, Johnson and his neighbors’ homes get torched in an inferno. Talk about digging your own grave.

19-year-old Padres prospect self-deports to Mexico after pleading guilty to human smuggling charge

Humberto Cruz, a high-ranking pitching prospect for the San Diego Padres, has reportedly self-deported to Mexico after pleading guilty to a federal misdemeanor charge involving the transportation of illegal aliens.

According to reports from the San Diego Union-Tribune, the now-19-year-old athlete, who was ranked as the organization’s fifth-best prospect by MLB Pipeline, admitted to authorities that he had responded to a social media advertisement seeking drivers to “pick up people for easy money.”

Cruz disclosed that he was offered $1,000 per person and acknowledged his awareness that the individuals were in the country illegally. While Cruz was initially in the United States on a legal work visa, the conviction triggered a near-certain deportation process and long-term consequences for his professional career.

Legal experts and team officials indicate that Cruz will likely be barred from reapplying for a U.S. work visa for at least ten years, though he may be eligible to petition for a return after five years — provided he demonstrates consistent good behavior during his time abroad.

The legal proceedings stem from an incident in October last year, when law enforcement officers stopped the pitcher in Lukeville, Arizona, on suspicion of transporting illegal aliens into the United States. Following his guilty plea, Cruz was sentenced to 30 days in prison, a term satisfied by the credit he received for time already served in custody.

In a lengthy statement released through the San Diego Padres organization, Cruz expressed deep remorse for his actions and offered an extensive apology for the lapse in judgment that led to his arrest and subsequent deportation.

“To my teammates, the organization, our fans, and my family, I want to express my sincere regret for a recent lapse in judgment that has caused disappointment to many people I deeply respect,” he began in the statement. “I understand that my actions have fallen short of the standards expected of me as a professional and as a representative of this organization. I take responsibility for my conduct and recognize the impact it has had on my teammates, the club, and those who support us.

“To my teammates and coaches, I apologize for becoming a distraction and for not upholding the level of professionalism you deserve,” he continued. “To the fans, I am sorry for letting you down and for failing to meet the trust placed in me. Your support means a great deal, and I regret not honoring it in the way I should have. To my family, I am grateful for your continued support and understanding during this difficult time.

“I regret the stress and disappointment this situation has caused. I am committed to reflecting on this moment, learning from it, and taking the appropriate steps to move forward in a positive and responsible manner. I will cooperate fully with the organization and any steps required of me, as I remain focused on personal growth and accountability. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with support and honesty. I understand that trust must be earned, and I am prepared to do that through my actions going forward.”
