Contagious Courage

Fellow American, Courage is contagious. My friend Blake Treinen is standing up for his faith, unafraid of the backlash his stance will generate. Blake is a Major League pitcher with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and when he saw his team invite the anti-Christian LGBTQ group, Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Blake didn't sit on the sidelines. He stood tall and spoke the truth—perverse propaganda has no place in our daily lives - not at Bud Light, at Target, or in Major League Baseball.   Blake is a hero of the faith, and I'm proud to call him a friend. He asked me to share his statement— you can read it below!  Till all hear,  Sean Feucht SUPPORT HOLD THE LINE >>> Email sent to mitch.dobbs.pics@blogger.com by Hold The Line.

Singer, actress, dancer, spy. Plus, SeaWorld’s distressed dolphin; Keto’s big problem

SHE FOUGHT THE NAZIS HER OWN WAY Wednesday, May 31, 2023

In today’s newsletter, we celebrate women spies who helped defeat the Nazis, explore a rarely visited Alaskan reserve, question why SeaWorld Orlando is still operating ... and learn more about the 5,000-year-old murdered ice man.

PHOTOGRAPH BY POPPERFOTO/GETTY Born in St. Louis, Josephine Baker fled racial violence at home to become a sensation in Paris. But there is another reason why this singer, dancer, and actress (above) became in 2021 the first Black woman to be inducted into the French Pantheon. At great risk, she spied against the Nazis in World War II. History is finally recognizing the dangerous efforts of Baker and other women spies to help forge the Allied victory over Hitler and Japan. WHAT DID SHE DO?

PHOTO OF THE DAY

PHOTOGRAPH BY CHARLIE HAMILTON JAMES Happy World Otter Day: Sea otters hold each other’s hands. They swim on their backs. They’re brown and fuzzy and use tools to open their food. And they nearly went extinct in the early 1900s. Now they’re back and abundant—but not everyone is happy about it. (Above, a human feeds a rescued sea otter pup, photographed by Nat Geo Explorer Charlie Hamilton James.)

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

PHOTOGRAPH BY JOHN GREIM, LIGHTROCKET/GETTY IMAGES What’s happening to Rascal? Rascal, a 25-year-old dolphin at SeaWorld Florida, was prescribed pain medication. “Nearly a third of his body was covered in both superficial scrapes and deeper cuts,” our investigative Wildlife Watch unit reports. “Scar tissue indicated these attacks had been going on for a while.” The USDA requested more information, but SeaWorld failed to hand over the records. Still, the USDA reissued SeaWorld’s animal exhibitor license—“a blatant violation” of the law. (Above, a dolphin—not Rascal—performs at SeaWorld.) Related: This anti-terrorism agency is now tackling wildlife crime WHAT’S GOING ON?

LAST GLIMPSE

PHOTOGRAPH BY CHARLIE HAMILTON JAMES, NAT GEO IMAGE COLLECTION Serious health consequences: The high-fat, low-carb keto diet sounds enticing: eat all-you-can cheese, ribeyes, bacon... and lose weight? But according to a new report, the American Heart Association says this way of eating is not good for you. (Above, a breakfast with high-fat foods.) NO MORE KETO?
