A same-sex kiss has been restored to the final cut of Pixar’s upcoming animated film Lightyear after LGBTQIA2S+ employees and their allies complained that Disney executives had censored “overtly gay affection” in the company’s films, according to a report by Variety. A source close to the production told Variety that Lightyear features a female lead who is in a relationship with another woman, and a kiss between the two characters had been cut from the film. The gay kiss was added back into the movie last week, following the outrage from a woke mob at Pixar Animation Studios.(Snip)Earlier this month, DeSantis debunked leftist falsehoods on the bill,

They are the supposed nonpartisan group of top spies looking out for the best interest of the nation. But the 51 former “intelligence” officials who cast doubt on The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop stories in a public letter really were just desperate to get Joe Biden elected president. And more than a year later, even after their Deep State sabotage has been shown again and again to be a lie, they refuse to own up to how they undermined an election. The officials, including CNN pundit and professional fabricator James Clapper—a man who was nearly charged for perjury for lying to Congress—signed a letter saying that the laptop

Irving, Texas—Democratic candidate for governor Beto O’Rourke is looking for ways to close a persistent gap in the polls with Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, backing off his far-left stance on border security, gun ownership and other hot-button issues.
The O’Rourke pivot is a glaring bid to turn out the party’s more moderate base and win over independent voters in the conservative state.(Snip)Polling shows Mr. O’Rourke consistently lagging behind Mr. Abbott, though only by single digits, leading some analysts to predict a close race. Since announcing his candidacy in November, Mr. O’Rourke has shifted his position on key issues, including gun rights, border security and school curricula.

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on Friday accused Florida of playing political games with children and said its 'Don't Say Gay Bill' amounted to bullying in 'our own backyard.' The state's Parental Rights in Education bill has triggered national controversy, adding fuel to the nation's culture wars over what should and should not be taught in schools. It prohibits 'classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity' and was passed last week by the state legislature.(Snip)On Thursday, Cardona and other administration officials held a closed-door meeting with Florida LGBTQ students and their families.

The Kremlin on Friday took a shot at President Biden’s cognitive ability after he called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “murderous dictator.” Speaking with reporters in Moscow, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov referenced Mr. Biden’s frequent gaffes at public events. “Given Mr. Biden’s irritability, his fatigue and sometimes forgetfulness … which ultimately leads to aggressive statements, we probably will not give any sharp assessments so as not to cause more aggression,” Mr. Peskov said. In St. Patrick’s Day remarks on Thursday, Mr. Biden described Mr. Putin as “a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people of Ukraine.”(Snip)Mr. Peskov dismissed Mr. Biden’s statements as “personal insults.”

Maserati is planning to create an electric version of all of its super sports car models by 2025, and ax all gasoline engines by 2030-despite the sports' cars famous engine roar being one of the key reasons motoring enthusiasts buy them.

Washington—Drugmaker Moderna asked the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday to authorize a fourth shot of its COVID-19 vaccine as a booster dose for all adults. The request is broader than rival pharmaceutical company Pfizer’s request earlier this week for the regulator to approve a booster shot for all seniors. In a press release, the company said its request for approval for all adults was made “to provide flexibility” to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and medical providers to determine the “appropriate use” of a second booster dose of the mRNA vaccine, “including for those at higher risk of COVID-19 due to age or comorbidities.”

A Manhattan man who was beaten by a mob of dirt bikers—along with his father—said Thursday that the wild, caught-on-video brawl was sparked by a mere “accident.” The 35-year-old man told The Post he now worries about his 64-year-old father, who suffered a concussion and is struggling after the disturbing broad-daylight assault Tuesday in Harlem. “I’m OK, I’m just really concerned about him, concerned about my father,” he said. “I want them to find them, and justice. “Because it was an accident, all right? What was the point of assaulting an elderly guy? Like 10 people. Anybody’s a man with 10 people.”

Federal prosecutors targeting Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress admitted Wednesday that they did not seek higher approval within the Justice Department before spying on Steve Bannon's lawyer. A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Justice Department to produce internal records related to their decision to prosecute Bannon, a win for the former Trump adviser. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols seemed disturbed by the unusual move, repeatedly asking prosecutors why they thought it was proper to secretly gather records of defense attorney Robert Costello's private phone calls, text messages, and emails. Nichols also said that Bannon's team should be offered Justice Department 'statements or writings' that justify

President Joe Biden called Vladimir Putin a 'murderous dictator and pure thug' in his St Patrick's Day speech on Thursday that started with the quip: 'I may be Irish but I am not stupid'. Biden ramped up his attacks on the Russian leader, a day after finally calling him a war criminal, in remarks that started with him going through his Irish heritage at the annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon. 'Father before I began, bless me, father I'm about to sin,' Biden cracked, making the sign of the cross as he addressed Rev. Thomas O'Connor while standing between Irish and American flags inside the wood paneled Rayburn Room

Fifty arrests and 10 stretches in prison. Speaker Newt made a lot of noise about "three strikes and you're out," but governments are too broke to keep criminals in prison and too wasteful to run anything cost-effectively, and society lacks the fortitude to cast career criminals into exile. So here's a woman with a knife held to her neck.
