Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker recently called out President Biden over his “delusional” support for abortion as a practicing Catholic. 

The three-time Super Bowl winner laid into the 81-year-president during a fiery commencement speech Saturday at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., where the NFL star also criticized the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and aired out his frustrations with a litany of other political, religious and cultural issues. 

“As a group, you witnessed firsthand how bad leaders who don’t stay in their lane can have a negative impact on society,” Butker, 28, said early in his 20-minute address to the graduates of the small Catholic liberal arts school, referring to the COVID-19 lockdowns. 

“While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique,” the kicker argued. 

“Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media, all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.”

And the buck stops with Biden, according to Butker. 

“Our own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally,” he said. 

The line was a reference to Biden’s bizarre use of the gesture, which Catholics often make before and after prayer, while listening to pro-abortion remarks delivered by Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried last month. 

 Biden is America’s second-ever Roman Catholic president.

“He has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I’m sure to many people it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice,” Butker went on.   

“He is not alone. From the man behind the Covid lockdowns, to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common — they are Catholic. This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesn’t cut it,” he argued. 

The NFL player urged the new grads to “stop pretending that the ‘Church of nice’ is a winning proposition,” encouraging them to speak out in opposition to what he called declining morals.

Biden has repeatedly called on voters to re-elect him in 2024 and to elect a Democratic House and Senate that will codify the right to an abortion nationwide since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – It’s easier than ever to find locally-grown food in the Kansas City metro.

Cultivate KC worked with people in Kansas City’s Ivanhoe Neighborhood to develop the Kansas City Farmers Market Passport.

The free guide works to connect people to more than a dozen farmers markets across the Kansas City area. Vendors will stamp the passport. Once five stamps are collected, the passport holder earns a discount at one of four businesses.

Passports are free at any listed farmers market location. Supplies are limited.

The Kansas City Chiefs will begin their quest for a third consecutive championship against the Baltimore Ravens as the NFL announced its opener to the 2024 season on Monday.

The Chiefs and Ravens will battle on Thursday, Sept. 5. It will be a rematch of the 2023 AFC Championship that saw Kansas City oust Baltimore 17-10. The game will be played at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs had a 17-7 lead in that game going into halftime and only allowed a Justin Tucker field goal in the second half.

“The stage is set,” the Chiefs’ X account posted after the announcement.

The Ravens celebrated that they were “kicking off the NFL season.”

Kansas City is fresh off of another Super Bowl victory. The team came back to defeat the San Francisco 49ers and become the first team since the 2003 and 2004 New England Patriots to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles. No team has won three straight Super Bowl titles.

Baltimore last won a Super Bowl during the 2012 season – ironically, over the 49ers. Their appearance in the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs was their first since that season. John Harbaugh has been the head coach through all the ups and downs since 2008.

The Chiefs are awaiting potential discipline against Rashee Rice as the wide receiver was involved in a crash in Texas in April. The team has since drafted Xavier Worthy as a potential replacement. Kansas City also acquired Marquise Brown in the offseason.

The Ravens loaded up on offense with the signing of running back Derrick Henry. The team also added help on the offensive line in Josh Jones. 

Lamar Jackson is the reigning NFL MVP. He had 3,678 passing yards, 24 passing touchdowns, 821 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns.
