Disney Hopes to Limit the Damage

On May 5, two Florida state officials traveled to Orlando to meet with the leadership of Disney’s self-governing district. Two weeks earlier, Gov. Ron DeSantis had abolished the district in retaliation for Disney’s opposition to a law that restricts classroom instruction on LGBTQ identity – known to critics as “Don’t Say Gay.” The two officials – one of them the chief deputy counsel in DeSantis’ office — went to figure out what the state was getting into. The leaders of the Reedy Creek Improvement District showed them a PowerPoint detailing their responsibilities for a 54-megawatt power plant, 65 miles of canals, various roads and pedestrian bridges, and a fire department

This is telling Hollywood that Disney, recognizing that it is the 'weak horse,' is negotiating its surrender to Florida. From a political standpoint the $ donations to entities such as Equity Florida, and the (cheap) words of occasional support to some of its junior staff pale in comparison to this apparent in-kind support to the policies of Ron DeSantis' Florida. It recognizes reality.

I'm thinking a significant tax increase for the landowner(s) of the Reddy Creek Improvement District will be in order at some time in the near future to cover the increased expenses that the District has been successful in pushing off on neighboring taxing entites.

Disney stock down 42% in the last year, from $175 to $101. The damage is done, and the decline will continue. At local stores, I have seen Disney merchandise in clearance bins.

Disney hasn’t changed. The people who enabled homosexual agendas at Disney are still there, in management positions. Their employees are still getting arrested for attempting to engage in sex with minors, and being involved with kiddie porn. They’re a bunch of weirdo perverts. DeSantis needs to keep the heat on Disney, and the rest of us need to stay away from their films, theme parks and cable channel.

#8, Disney has been sexually grooming its child stars for decades. Brittney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, to name a few, started out as "wholesome models for young girls", but became steadily sluttier as they reached adulthood.

What is most telling are the comments at the end (13 at the time of this post). Variety is a totally leftist rag and the slant can be readily seen in this article. Yet, ALL of the comments are pro DeSantis, pro legislation and pro Florida (well, maybe one is not, but that is debatable).

About 25 years ago (or so), we took our kids to both Disney parks (Land and World). They were so much fun. "The happiest place on Earth" really did apply. I dreamed of the day when our grandkids would be old enough to go and we could take them all. There were beautiful princesses and handsome princes. Nothing "woke". Nothing perverted. Just (very expensive) fun like Walt Disney had planned. But in those subsequent 25 years, they have become a "woke" child-grooming den of perverts. I can guarantee you that Disney will never see another penny of our money, and we will never step foot through their gates again!!!! Based on their crashing numbers, I see we are not alone!!!

The hits just keep coming for Disney.. all self inflicted. "Gee, that's too bad." Soon the only people who will go to their overpriced falling down parks will be Liberal parents who wish to sexualize and groom their kids asap and the pedos these parents will gleefully hand their kids over to and of course the perpetual Peter Pans who refuse to grow up but have money to burn (these are some of Disney's new favorites btw, these 20 and 30 something childless things buy ALL Disney's China made crap "collectibles" to impress their followers on Instagram, pathetic).

I think, for truth in advertising, Disney should just change the name of the park in Cuba-fornia to "Sodom-land" and the park in Florida to "Gomorrah-world"!!! As long as they are honest about it, I think Disney should just embrace their evil!!! Why hide it anymore?!?!?!? There are enough lie-berals out there that just love evil that would probably keep them in business...

The only Disney I follow is the Disney I grew up with. I just stick with watching everything Disney before the late 1970s - early 1980s (original TRON) and Disney Pixar movies (like Toy Story, The Incredibles, Up, WALL-E, Moana, etc.) The moment they go woke or show signs of wokeness I immediately exclude them from our family viewing selections. My kids are almost grown (one's 17, the other's 12) and starting to lose interest in all things Disney. The only other Disney activities we still indulge in are Disney Cruises and they're getting too expensive with the quality of amenities and on board services noticeably declining as well. I'd be totally content not doing anything Disney soon.

Biden’s Anti-Drilling Policies Have
Cut Oil Supplies as Much as OPEC+ Decision

Posted by Dreadnought 10/7/2022 12:35:28 AM Post Reply
President Joe Biden’s anti-drilling policies have cut oil supplies as much as the decision Wednesday by OPEC+ to slash two million barrels of oil production, an analysis by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity shows. If former President Donald Trump’s energy policies would have been continued, American oil production would be four to five times greater than the amount of oil Biden has released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). According to the study, Biden’s war on American energy will cost the United States nearly $100 billion in output every year, which translates to between two and three million barrels of oil a day

Mary Katharine Ham just published an explanation on her Substack site for why we haven’t seen her on television for a while. It turns out she was quietly removed from the air, apparently by the previous head honcho at CNN, Jeff Zucker. But the weird thing is that no one every told her she was being punished, her media hits just suddenly stopped happening. It was only recently, after Zucker’s departure that she learned she was back in good graces with the new management. But rather than say nothing about what happened, she decided to speak up.

The Biden administration has produced so many national disasters, from the mishandling of COVID to the calamitous Afghan pullout to the runaway spending that’s led to runaway inflation to the explosion of crime in cities across America, that it’s hard to pick its biggest blunder. But President Biden’s handling of oil production could very well be the worst. Just look at where we are. When Biden took office — not even two years ago — oil and gas were plentiful and cheap. The United States had recently become, thanks to fracking, a net energy exporter for the first time in 50 years. Now Democrats and the media are trying to pretend that presidents

Washington - The United States will begin screening travelers coming from Uganda for Ebola as an additional precaution aimed at trying to prevent an outbreak in the African country from spreading, the Biden administration said Thursday. With “no suspected, probable, or confirmed cases” of Ebola having been reported beyond Uganda, the risk in the U.S. is seen as low right now, said a senior administration official who was not authorized to publicly discuss the screening protocols and spoke on condition of anonymity. The official described the screening move as “as an additional precaution.” The screenings will begin rolling out immediately

A former police officer facing a drug charge burst into a day care center Thursday in Thailand, killing dozens of preschoolers and teachers and then shooting more people as he fled. At least 36 people were slain in the deadliest rampage in the nation's history. The assailant, who was fired earlier this year, took his own life after killing his wife and child at home. Photos taken by first responders showed the school's floor littered with the tiny bodies of children still on their blankets, where they had been taking an afternoon nap. The images showed slashes to their faces and gunshots to their heads and pools of blood.

French author Annie Ernaux has won the Nobel Prize in literature, organizers announced in Stockholm on Thursday. Ernaux, 82, has written a number of celebrated novels, many of which are autobiographical. Her first book, "Les armoires vides," was published in French in 1974, and in English as "Cleaned Out" in 1990. Her fourth work, "La place" (1983) or "A Man's Place" (1992), elevated her to prominence. She was given the prestigious award "for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory." Ernaux's work is closely inspired by her own life, and contemplates family, class, politics and gender.

You could see this one coming a mile away, and many of us did. When the Supreme Court declared that there is no rational reason to deny the right of two people of the same sex to marry–love is love!–it eliminated the teleological foundation of marriage and the family. If marriage is no longer grounded in the biology of reproduction–it takes two, a man and a woman, to make a child–then the number two is likewise irrational. If George and Ken can be in love, and therefore entitled to marry, then why can’t George, Ken and Susan? The inevitable has happened, as a court in New York
