UFC contender and fan favorite Sean Strickland accepted a challenge to complete Navy SEAL training against former SEAL and fitness personality David Goggins.In March 2024, Strickland received praise as well as backlash for saying he didn't think there was one Navy SEAL "who could survive a week [of] training" with him, as opposed to the other way around."I'm kind of sick of seeing it 'cause, like, you guys think you're bada**," Strickland said. "Come train with me for a week, I'll show you what's up. I'll f**king break you," he added.The middleweight followed that by beating up a former SEAL (who is also a fighter) in a brutal sparring session months later.'The only thing you beat me at in life is f***ing running.'Enter Goggins: a former SEAL himself who is known for withstanding extreme duress during his fitness regimen, along with being an over-the-top motivational speaker. Goggins also competes in triathlons and ultramarathons (42.195 KM).Goggins posted a video on TikTok challenging Strickland to a very public fitness challenge."This is your opportunity to show the world that you can f*** me up," Goggins said in the video. "I will have camera crews out there. You make sure you bring your f***ing camera crew out there because you're going to want to get this on camera," he added, per TalkSport."A 49-year-old, broke-down knee, f***ed-up body guy is gonna put you through a camp that you think you can f*** me up in," the fitness guru went on. "This is your opportunity, Strickland."Particularly, Strickland is to complete "Hell Week," which refers to the fourth week of the United States Navy SEAL selection and training program.According to NavySeals.com, "Hell Week" consists of running over 200 miles with 20 hours of physical training per day. Candidates also sleep for approximately four total hours over a span of five and a half days."Hell Week is the ultimate test of a man’s will and the class's teamwork," the site read.Strickland posted a video on Instagram accepting the challenge and poking fun at some of Goggins' viral videos."Goggins, I heard you want a piece," Strickland said. "Challenge accepted.""Just so you know, man, the only thing you beat me at in life is f***ing running. But guess what, I don't have to f***ing run," he added.Strickland can expect some other extreme training for SEAL qualifications, according to Navy.com. Under the qualifications and requirements section, the Navy declares that SEAL candidates must be able to complete the following, in succession:Swim 500 yardsPerform at least 50 push-ups in two minutesPerform at least 50 curl-ups in two minutes Perform at least 10 pull-ups in two minutes Run 1.5 milesStrickland noted on his posted that while he admits Goggins could beat him "in a jog," he was willing to accept the challenge simply to occupy his time while he's waiting for a chance to fight for the UFC middleweight championship.Like Blaze News?

As Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” says, “The ladies of ‘The View’ are still up to their nasty stuff.” This time, it’s host Sunny Hostin getting Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to drop some clues about Kamala Harris — and possible plans of a replacement for Joe Biden in the 2024 election. “Politico reported this, they reported that you told the president’s re-election campaign chairperson Jen O'Malley Dylan that Michigan was no longer winnable,” Hostin said to Whitmer. “Did you say that? Because polls show Biden is trailing Trump.” “I didn’t say that, and it was a conversation between two people, yet the source was someone who works for someone who may or may not run for president in 2028. I mean, that’s the craziest thing to think that there’s any accuracy to that,” Whitmer responded. “Anyone who knows me, knows that I have delivered Michigan over and over again. I won by almost 11 points in my re-elect when people were writing my political obituary,” she added. Hostin then presses Whitmer further. “You say Kamala is the heir apparent, would you run for her? Would you run as her vice president?” Hostin asks. “You know, I have never looked at opportunities in Washington, D.C., with a lot of excitement, because I love Michigan. I love state government, because I know when we’re feeding 1.4 million Michigan school kids free breakfast and lunch, I can see what it means to people,” Whitmer said. “That’s why I love state government, but, you know, I’ll never say never,” she added.

A survey published last year in the journal Politics and Religion indicated that 53% of Catholic priests admitted to being more liberal than most of their parishioners. Where the Catholic Church in the United States is concerned, the days of the liberal priest are numbered. There have been indications in recent years that progressivism among Catholic clerics is literally dying out — that the new generation of priests are no-nonsense conservatives, unapologetic about the traditions and moral teachings of the church, and altogether resistant to the ideological fads of the day. The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., released an 18-page report in November indicating that in terms of theological self-identification, 85% of the youngest cohort of priests described themselves as "conservative/orthodox" or "very conservative/orthodox," with only 14% describing themselves as "middle-of-the-road." The report, based on a census of 131 bishops and thousands of priests, indicated that this represents a seismic shift, given that "theologically 'progressive' and 'very progressive' priests once made up 68% of new ordinands. Today, that number has dwindled almost to zero." "We are witnessing a major shift in the way priests in the United States view themselves and their priesthood. Younger priests are much more likely than their older peers to describe themselves as politically conservative or moderate," said the report. "Younger priests are also much more likely to see themselves as theologically orthodox or conservative than do older priests. These shifts can be a source of friction and tension, especially between younger and older priests." The report concluded that "many of these trends have been decades in the making and show little sign of reversal any time soon." The New York Times confirmed this week that the priesthood's return to orthodoxy continues unabated. Brad Vermurlen, a sociologist who has long studied political shifts in the American priesthood, emphasized that the priests ordained since 2010 "are clearly the most conservative cohort of priests we've seen in a long time." Vermurlen and his fellow academics have observed that these priests are, for instance, by the book when it comes to questions of the sinfulness of homosexual acts and female priests or deacons. 'They're trying to restore what us old guys ruined.' Referencing the Catholic University of America's findings, the Times highlighted that not a single surveyed priest ordained in recent years has characterized himself as "very progressive." Younger priests are not just theologically conservative but politically conservative. Whereas roughly half of Catholic priests ordained around the time of Vatican II identified as politically liberal, almost all priests ordained since 2020 are conservative or are at the very least "moderate." This conservative generation is apparently not interested in sugarcoating or watering down church teaching and are instead keen to embrace challenging teachings. Rev. Zachary Galante told the Times that numerous priests in the 1970s and 1980s "were looking at the world and saying, 'The world is changing; we need to change too.'" Apparently neither Galante nor his peers are of the mind that the church ought to be unmoored by the zeitgeist. Rev. David Sweeney, a 31-year-old priest who was ordained with Galante, raised the matter of the sacrament of marriage and secular hollowing-out of the institution. "That's a core tenet of our faith that our culture has shifted drastically on in the last 12 years," Rev. Sweeney told the Times. "If we're saying that we're holding to eternal truth, something that is changeless, and the world changes, well, now I guess I've changed in my relation to the world." Rev. Galante added, "Maybe we're more conservative now because the culture moved, not because we moved." Earlier this year, Rev. John Forliti, a retired Minnesota priest, suggested to the Associated Press that the young conservative priests "say they're trying to restore what us old guys ruined." The Times indicated that this restoration not only means that "the liberal Catholic priest could essentially be extinct in the United States" but that it "puts the rising generations of priests increasingly at odds with secular culture, which has broadly moved to the left on questions of gender, sexuality, reproductive issues, and roles for women." Accordingly, there may be fewer priests like Rev. James Martin doubling as LGBT activists on cable news and more priests reinforcing church teaching on various issues of moral and spiritual consequence. The generational diminution of heterodox leftists in the priesthood is likely the result of multiple factors, but Michael Sean Winters, a columnist for the left-leaning National Catholic Reporter, suggested to the Times that the tendency among increasingly secular liberal families to have fewer children means "there are fewer liberals in the pews with large families." Alternatively, conservative families who have gone forth and multiplied have contributed more to the pool of potential priests and left a conservative mark on that pool. There is reportedly also an emphasis on "normalcy" now in Catholic seminaries. Motivated by a desire to flush out potential predators, seminaries screen applicants for psychosexual maturity. It's unclear, however, whether seminaries' emphasis on normalcy and screenings against perversion have also served as checks against progressivism in the priesthood. Like Blaze News?

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In an unprecedented move that has left political analysts and citizens alike in a state of euphoric disbelief, the masterminds behind Project 2025 have unveiled their ambitious and utterly fantastical agenda. With promises that defy logic, physics, and basic common sense, Project 2025 is set to transform the world into a utopian paradise. Laser-Shooting Velociraptors for Every Trump Supporter At the heart of Project 2025 is the cornerstone promise: every Trump supporter will receive a laser-shooting velociraptor. “Velociraptors symbolize strength, independence, and a departure from reality,” said Project 2025 spokesperson, Imaginarius Fanciful. “We believe every Trump supporter deserves a touch of the impossible in their lives.” To accommodate the sudden influx of velociraptors, cities are already planning to convert parking lots into Jurassic parks, complete with reinforced steel barriers and holographic prey for the raptors to hunt. Experts in mythical creature management assure the public that the environmental impact will be minimal, and the emotional benefits immeasurable. Free Unicorns for Every Household Not to be outdone, Project 2025 also promises that every non-Trump-supporting household will receive a free unicorn. “Unicorns symbolize purity, magic, and a departure from reality,” Fanciful continued. “We believe every family deserves a touch of the impossible in their lives.” Cities are planning to convert parking lots into enchanted meadows, complete with rainbow streams and glittering trees. Experts in mythical creature management assure the public that the environmental impact will be minimal, and the emotional benefits immeasurable. World Peace by 2026 Perhaps the most audacious claim of Project 2025 is the guarantee of world peace by 2026. “War and conflict are so 2024,” Fanciful declared. “We’ve developed a revolutionary approach to diplomacy that involves mandatory group hugs, synchronized singing of ‘Kumbaya,’ and distributing cookies baked with love.” Critics question the feasibility of this approach, but Fanciful is confident. “We have conducted rigorous trials at kindergarten playgrounds across the nation. The results speak for themselves: peace is not just possible, it’s inevitable.” Eternal Sunshine and Perfect Weather Weather enthusiasts are rejoicing at the promise of eternal sunshine and perfect weather, tailored to each individual’s preference. “Our state-of-the-art weather modification technology will ensure that every day is a beautiful day,” announced Chief Meteorologist, Sunny Delight. “Snow for Christmas lovers, endless summer for beach bums, and gentle rain for the romantics—everyone gets their perfect weather.” To make this dream a reality, the government plans to install giant climate control domes over major cities. Skeptics argue about the energy costs and potential ecological impacts, but Project 2025 assures that these domes will run on “positive vibes and renewable good intentions.” Free Energy and Instant Transportation In a move that has sent shockwaves through the scientific community, Project 2025 promises free energy and instant transportation. “We’ve harnessed the power of quantum entanglement and good old-fashioned magic,” explained Chief Engineer, Dr. Watt E. Watt. “Teleportation pods will be installed in every home, allowing you to travel anywhere in the world instantaneously.” Energy will be harvested from the “infinite positivity” generated by the happiness of the populace. This revolutionary energy source will power homes, vehicles, and the teleportation network, rendering traditional power plants obsolete. Universal Harmony and Happiness At the core of Project 2025 is the promise of universal harmony and happiness. “We will eliminate all negative emotions through a combination of mandatory mindfulness, perpetual positivity broadcasts, and happiness-enhancing supplements,” Fanciful elaborated. “Gone will be the days of stress, sadness, and discontent. Every citizen will live in a state of perpetual bliss.” This initiative will be supported by the establishment of Happiness Centers in every community, where citizens can receive free massages, partake in laughter yoga, and enjoy unlimited ice cream sundaes. Critics and Realists Relegated to Fantasy Camps For those who doubt the viability of Project 2025, special Fantasy Camps will be established where critics can experience life in a perfectly imagined world. “We understand that some people have difficulty embracing change,” said Fanciful. “At Fantasy Camp, they can live out their skeptical fantasies until they are ready to join us in utopia.” As the world holds its breath and waits for the magical transformation promised by Project 2025, one thing is certain: reality has never seemed so dull in comparison. With laser-shooting velociraptors for Trump supporters, free unicorns, world peace, perfect weather, and universal happiness on the horizon, who could possibly remain a skeptic? “Project 2025 is not just a plan,” Fanciful concluded. “It’s a promise. A promise that dreams do come true, and the impossible is just the beginning.” The post BREAKING: Project 2025 will provide every Trump supporter with laser-shooting velociraptors appeared first on Genesius Times.
