CALIFORNICATION: The owners and operators of Che Garibaldi Inc. have agreed to a federal settlement in a lawsuit brought against them by the Department of Labor. The company, which operates three restaurants in the Sacramento area, will pay 35 employees $70,000 in back wages and $70,000 in damages, plus $5,000 in civil penalties to the Department of Labor.

Che Garibaldi was accused of retaliating against employees, obstructing an investigation, and preventing the recovery of unpaid wages after someone complained to the Labor Department about the restaurant denying overtime pay and giving managers money from the employee tip pool. The employers also fired the worker they believed had ratted them out.

The most egregious offense of the whole stinkin’ affair was when the company hired a person to pose as a priest, then offered the Catholic staff the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation during working hours. Numerous employees took them up on the offer, but found the experience disturbing and unlike normal confessions. In an apparent attempt to collect dirt on employees, the fake priest asked penitents if they ever got pulled over for speeding, had stolen from their employer, harbored any bad intentions toward their employer, or had done anything to harm their employer.

The Catholic Diocese of Sacramento confirmed that the fake priest had no connection to the Roman Catholic Church and the U.S. Department of Labor called the sacrilegious stunt “among the most shameless” of corrupt actions employers have used against employees. No kidding.

CANCEL CULTURE: “No Way Back: The Reality of Gender-Affirming Care” was set for initial release on June 21 in dozens of theaters across the country. Along with medical professionals, the film features five young people who have de-transitioned. Due to pressure from the Queer Trans Project, which has not had access to view the full film, AMC Theatres abruptly canceled their showings.

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://twitter.com/JasnaGoraNews/status/1664224554032529408 [1:42] to see a video of Polish seminarians participating in a pilgrimage to Jasna Góra (Bright Mountain), home of a painting of the Blessed Mother and Baby Jesus that is believed to have been painted by St. Luke on a board from a table from the Holy Family’s Nazareth home.

Poland has 100 times the number of Catholics as the Diocese of Rochester, but only 4 seminarians. Proportionally, we should have 20. Abortion is legal in Poland very rare cases. In New York, it is legal at any time and for any reason. Coincidence?

FJB: [3:32] – Outstanding.

JUNETEENTH: On June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived at Galveston, TX, and issued an order declaring that, in keeping with the Emancipation Proclamation, all slaves in Texas were free. Although it would take until the next year for all slaves to finally be freed, June 19th marked an important milestone in the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation nationwide. The Juneteenth holiday marking this event was first celebrated in 1866, on the first anniversary of the order, and has spread throughout the United States in the years since. It was declared a federal holiday in 2021.

JUSTICE: Just days after Dems produced a 37-count indictment against former President Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents on his Florida estate, our two-tiered “justice” system pulled a “Get Our Of Jail Free” card out of its ass for Hunter Biden. Never mind that Biden kept classified documents in his garage for years or that any one of Trump’s kids would have been tarred, feathered, and trotted off to jail for the same offenses Hunter committed.

CLICK https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1671226703992201216 [12:54] to hear Tucker dump on the situation. “Most miraculous of all, Hunter Biden somehow escaped a FARA charge. FARA is the Foreign Agent Registration Act, and it is exactly what its name suggests. Under federal law, if you are acting as an agent of a foreign nation in Washington, you are required to register with our government to let everybody know.

Meanwhile, one of the many abused J6 prisoners has gone on a hunger strike to protest his treatment. Watch his emotional video @ https://video.wixstatic.com/video/47618a_d768ed639e1046c3ab2e28d22d19de3b/720p/mp4/file.mp4.

KARMA: On June 16, as devout Catholics protested outside the stadium, the San Francisco Giants absolutely trounced the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 15-0 loss was the Dodgers’ worst home shutout loss since 1898, when the team was based in Brooklyn.

MARYLAND: Last month, Democrat Gov. Moore signed the “Trans Health Equity Act” into law, legalizing the chemical and surgical castration of minors. On Sunday, Moore appeared on Jen Psaki’s MSNBC show where he claimed that bans on certain kids’ library books was an intolerable evil, tantamount to “castrating children.”

MEDIA: CLICK https://twitter.com/insidercnews/status/1671190295101464578 [:30] to see what happened to the recent pride parade in Istanbul. I googled “istanbul pride parade 2023” and got exactly zero major news outlet reporting on the swift suppression of the event by the majority Muslim city police.

WaPo: Dontcha just love the smell of desperation?

Readers added context to the tweet that they thought people might want to know. “Busch, Natural, Miller, and Keystone have not experienced the 29% drop in sales of Bud Light which coincided with the boycott of the brand. In fact, Miller Lite has experienced a 20.7% and Coors Light a 22% increase in sales since the boycott began.”

Matt Walsh commented, “The Bud Light boycott will prove to be one of the most significant conservative victories of this decade. It was never just about Bud Light. It was about sending a message. And no matter how many mainstream ‘news’ outlets attempt to downplay its significance, the truth is clear and our message was received.”

In other news, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity gathered in the south of France to celebrate what is often called the “Oscars” of the advertising agency. One of the event’s highest honors, Creative Marketer of the Year, went to the people who cooked up the trans Bud Light ad campaign that has made the product so toxic that sales dropped by 25%. S’funny cuz I thought advertising was supposed to sell not destroy products.
