God is good. That’s the only way to explain how the infuriating story of the Dodgers and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence could have a hilarious coda like this: While the Los Angeles Dodgers are catching heat for their invitation of an anti-Catholic group to “Pride Night,” it turns out that the group’s Washington D.C. chapter was once helmed by none other than Sam Brinton — the former Biden administration official ousted after being charged with several airport luggage thefts.
Here’s the funny thing: My colleague Nick Arama pointed this out back in 2022 when the Biden administration finally fired Brinton and NBC got very sad about his treatment:
The NBC story also claimed that Brinton has faced “transphobic media attacks since October,” including calling Brinton a “drag queen.” Except, Brinton has been a member of a drag queen group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group whose very name mocks Catholic nuns. How is it transphobic to print the truth? And was the Biden team at all concerned about the mocking of Catholic nuns, among all the other issues here?
So the information has been out there, but the Sisters weren’t in the news. Now we have a perfect confluence of stories the editor of Weird Tales could only envy.
Yep. Joe Biden’s Airport Panty Raider is a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence, one of the anti-Catholic perverts the Dodgers have prostrated themselves to. Brinton went by “Sister Ray Dee O’Active.” (Not very creative. I get the nuclear waste reference but, c’mon, he was head of the D.C. chapter for two years. With great power comes great responsibility. Do better.)
Oh hi, klepto freak Sam Brinton, part of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence DC. With every new revelation abt this group, it's clear @Dodgers made a massive mistake in deciding to honor them. CALL THE DODGERS OFFICE and let them know you won't spend $ with them until they make… https://t.co/TXnc9UavDn pic.twitter.com/7tv5Qqfllr

Personally, I like to call Brinton “Mr. Entertainment.” Or now maybe “Sister Entertainment.”

No, @Dodgers, this is not a group to promote and honor and normalize pic.twitter.com/HDLy0rQtz2

When the Biden administration proudly announced that, as the new Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition, he was the first ever genderfluid government official, tell me you didn’t guffaw at Lex Luthor in pumps.
He just keeps bringing the laughs, doesn’t he? Remember when the Biden Administration sent him and “Rachel Levine” to the French Ambassador’s place for a Bastille Day Party? Hey, the French thought Jerry Lewis was funny. Maybe they’d like the comedy stylings of Frizzy and the Cue Ball?

Then came the news that Brinton was a serial luggage lifter. Who knows how many times he got away with it, but he was caught three times. (Who would have thought someone would remember a perp that looked like Mr. Clean in a cocktail dress?) Best of all was when he stole a Tanzanian fashion designer’s bag off baggage claim in DC and she saw him on TV in one of her outfits. Comedy gold!
Last month he was arrested in Maryland as a “fugitive from justice.” I don’t know how long he expected to stay on the lam looking like he does, but think about Brinton screaming “Come and get me, coppers!” and try not to giggle.
And now fate – and his tax records – has again brought Brinton to the attention of a grateful nation. Back in those heady days (sorry) with the Sisters:
As the D.C. chapter’s principal officer Brinton … regularly hosted group events including “bar ministry” gatherings, drag brunches, White House protests and at least one “high heel race.” Brinton, under that alias, also attended an Easter gathering hosted by the national organization in San Francisco in 2019, according to a local media reports.
BTW: If you doubt the vile nature of the group, the D.C. chapter’s website says: “When we are asked, ‘Why are you mocking nuns?’ we answer: ‘We are nuns!’ We do all that traditional nuns have done for centuries.” Like simulate gay sex in public, and use the cross as a stripper pole, that kind of thing.
So the Biden Administration put this guy in charge of nuclear waste. I guess it isn’t surprising. They’d see his past as a feature, not a bug. But I do wonder if anybody told “devout Catholic” Joe Biden about it …
