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?”


Another typical unrepentant dave bold faced lie.

And you call me the problem around here ...

NYT has an article about this monstrosity. Apparently Trump took the design and demanded it be large 4x. 

Why he didn't stick a gold statue of himself on top is beyond me.

I mean it is absurd but not as absurd as the overly massive Teutonic WWII memorial. Who won the war??

There’s a ton of poking engaged in by all. You do you. If you want to play the whiny bi*ch card, who am I to stop you? Just don’t expect any rallying of troops behind you.

WELLY!!  Lord a breath of fresh air if ever there was one!  And boy does this place need it.

Substack is my go-to site for in-depth commentary. Some of it is brilliant. 

My latest find is this guy, who lays on the Australian vulgarity thing, but hell, at times like this, I gotta admit it is pretty cathartic.

Maybe it's time to put on your "big boy" pants and get over it. All he admitted was that he posted something to maybe get a rise out of you. Apparently it worked. It's not anything different that you or tons of other people in this forum haven't done in the past... but maybe just haven't openly articulated it.

Well, it's like this.  No, I am not a glutton for punishment.  I am however, the last conservative voice here willing to post those kinds of views.  All the others have been run off by way of a concerted well coordinated effort to silence that point of view from even being posted anywhere here.  When I finally do leave here, either by death or personal decision, there will be no counterpoint to the very well established echo chamber of leftist ideology that dominates here.  I consider it as a public service to the 70 million voices who share a similar POV with me that no one here wants to even admit exists as anything remotely legitimate.

So with that I take all the slings and arrows shot at me, knowing that they are coming.  I get it, but they are becoming more personal than based upon any policies or POV's I post.  All with the blessing of the team.

For example, there has yet to be one direct comment about dave's admission of his contempt for me and his trolling with the sole purpose of pissing me off.  


There is no coordinated effort against you & there is no team. That is a paranoid delusional idea you carry around to justify your martyrdom. You attack and goad people & then damn them for reacting to you. You hate Dave while trying to enlist the rest of us against him? I’ve met him in real life & know him to be a mellow, nice guy. Good luck with that. He’s as free to post his views here as are you. That you imagine he’s specifically posting them at you is your problem, not his.

That this Forum is has a predominantly liberal audience is by pure chance. Perhaps it’s the music or the tone of being a Paradise set 25 years ago. We don’t get together behind your back to coordinate attacks against you. Frankly, you don’t matter that much. Nor do I. 

Nothing me or anyone else can say will convince you that there is no grand conspiracy against you.  Carry on you wayward soldier, tilt at your windmills if you must. Meanwhile, you have the president & regime you want doing the things you support. Is that not enough for you, or do you really think you can change minds that don’t agree with you?  I believe you relish the battle & will die on that hill.
