Disney Hiking Prices on Theme Parks as
Much as 21 Percent as Attendance Falters
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 10/14/2023 4:25:36 PM
As if visiting a Disney theme park wasn’t already outrageously expensive, the Walt Disney Company is once again hiking the price of admission to Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland in Anaheim, with certain passes skyrocketing by as much as 21 percent. Disney is also jacking up the price of parking in Orlando from $25 to $30, or 20 percent. The eye-popping increases, which take effect immediately, represent Disney’s latest attempt to juice revenue amid faltering financials that have left the once invincible company in disarray. Long a reliable cash cow, Disney parks are showing signs of serious vulnerability, with mounting reports of weak attendance

Luck is the residue of design, they say. Might it also be the residue of frightening and confusing foreign adversaries?
Donald Trump’s relatively crisis-free presidency in foreign affairs has created a sense, perhaps an accurate one, that he cowed enemies into not challenging the United States.
As Sen. Tom Cotton has pointed out, Kabul didn’t collapse on Trump’s watch, Russia didn’t invade Ukraine, and Hamas didn’t launch a historic terror attack on Israel.
Now this may have just been good fortune. Four years isn’t a large sample size.
But the argument that adversaries feared him and therefore acted with a measure of restraint is quite intuitive.
There are some buildings where the penthouse floors look spectacular. But the foundations and the lower floors are rotten.
It feels like that at the moment when looking at the US-Israel relationship.
At the top floors all looks good, clean and marble-covered.
To his credit President Biden gave a strong statement not so long after Israelis were massacred in their hundreds.
And this week he showed up in Israel to show his support as the country prepares its response to Hamas.
At the top of the Republican and Democrat parties similar sentiments exist. You might easily think that all is well with the American foundations.
But it isn’t. There is rot inside the building.
In my opinion, one of the greatest modern directors in the film industry is without a doubt Quentin Tarantino. Nobody, and I mean nobody, knows how to write dialogue like this guy does. The only other writer who could, Elmore Leonard, is no longer with us. Tarantino wrote and directed “Pulp Fiction,” “Reservoir Dogs,” “Inglorious B*****ds,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and the list goes on.
And if that wasn’t enough to immediately earn the guy a stack of cool points, he goes and pays a visit to a military base located in Israel to “boost morale” among troops in their battle against the evil terrorists in Hamas.
On Monday, October 16, Leonard Cure was shot by a white cop during a traffic stop. Now there are calls for proof that the police officer was in fear of his own life, thus justifying the use of deadly force. “The family is not convinced that you’re going to see that,” said Ben Crump, the civil rights attorney representing Cure’s family.
The Camden County, Ga., Sheriff’s Office has released both body and dash camera footage. I’m wondering if they’ve seen it because there is so much evidence that Staff Sergeant Buck Aldridge tried literally every tool in his belt before using his firearm.
"Can you talk about the impact of meeting survivors and the first responders?” a reporter asked.
“That’s all personal. Look, I — I spent an hour and a half, about, with 17 or 18 before — I spent with them and — I don’t know how to say this,” he before slowly trying to piece together a response that made some sense and failing.
“Virtually every… mass shooting… every… circumstance where… a large number of people have been victimized and lost… I’ve spoken with them,” Biden continued. “I learned a long time ago, which you’ve all learned in your life as well… when someone is going through something…
When President Joe Biden got a chance to argue his re-election case Sunday night, he made the best argument for why he should never have been elected in the first place.
Because apparently, his goal for a second term is to make the country as good as it was when Donald Trump was in the White House.
That was the unspoken message from the closing moments of Biden’s “60 Minutes” interview broadcast that aired Sunday night — but it came through loud and clear.
In the interview — in which the soft-spoken Scott Pelley tossed softballs to the soft-headed president, judging by the transcript —
Harvard's Arab Alumni Association has appealed for donations to help students' mental health after they were subjected to 'relentless bullying and intimidation' for blaming Israel for the Hamas attacks of October 7.
The Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a letter on October 7, co-signed by 33 other Harvard student organizations, stating: 'We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.'
The students leading the 33 organizations and the Solidarity Committee were named and faced calls to be blacklisted from future employment. They included the son of British businesswoman Jo Malone.
It never fails that when a conservative public figure, candidate, or elected official holds a presser or sits down for an interview, inevitably they get the "some people say" question from so-called reporters looking for a left-wing angle/narrative to push.
It's gotcha journalism pure and simple, designed to trap the conservative no matter how they answer.
Though Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is one Republican leader here in the United States who is savvy to the media trick and knows how to respond accordingly, unfortunately, he's one of only a few who doesn't let himself fall into these predictable traps.
Four inmates have escaped from a Georgia jail, authorities said, including one man who has been accused of murder.
The inmates escaped from the Bibb County Detention Center early Monday morning through a damaged day room window and a cut fence, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. The escape occurred around 3:00 a.m., with a blue Dodge Challenger pulling up outside the jail and helping the inmates flee.
The escaped inmates include 52-year-old Joey Fournier, a white male with gray hair and blue eyes, who was being held at the detention center for alleged murder.

House Democrat leaders view House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), the leading candidate for Speaker of the House, as an “insurrectionist” and an “extremist extraordinaire.”
“House Republicans have selected as their nominee to be the Speaker of the people’s House the chairman of the chaos caucus, a defender in a dangerous way of dysfunction, and an extremist extraordinaire,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, (D-NY) said on Friday.
“His focus has been on peddling lies and conspiracy theories and driving division amongst the American people,” the House Democrat leader added.
On Friday, Jordan became the House Republican nominee for Speaker of the House,

Questions’ for Netanyahu; Wants ‘Zero’
Civilian Casualties 34 replies
John Kirby, the White House’s National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, told reporters aboard Air Force Once en route to Israel on Tuesday evening that President Joe Biden would have “tough questions” for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when they met Wednesday morning.
Biden’s trip was intended to show solidarity for Israel in its war against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, which attacked Israel without provocation Oct. 7 and murdered 1,400 peoople.
But after Palestinians — and their allies — blamed Israel for an explosion at a hospital in Gaza City that reportedly killed hundreds of people, Biden appeared to be taking a different stance,

As the Israel-Hamas War rages and the crisis in Gaza deepens, Taher Herzallah said he has exchanged frantic messages on social media with his family members who are trapped in Gaza. Their description of the situation is grim. He said they’ve told him they have no food, electricity, water or fuel. (Snip) Herzallah said his concerns for his family thousands of miles away have also been compounded by a growing fear for the safety of his wife and children here in the US, as reports of attacks against people perceived to be Muslim or Palestinian surface across the country.
EU President Ursula von der Leyen has pledged to provide the Palestinian/Hamas effort with $50 million in supplemental assistance to support the resistance effort against Israeli retaliation.
(snip)she said: “The Commission will immediately increase the current humanitarian aid envelope foreseen for Gaza by 50 million euros. This will bring the total to over 75 million euros. We will continue our close cooperation with the UN and its agencies to ensure that this aid reaches those in need in the Gaza strip. The Commission supports Israel’s right to defend itself against the Hamas terrorists, in full respect of international humanitarian law.
Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said it is an absolute mess behind the scenes on Capitol Hill as House Republicans try to elect a new speaker, saying he “cannot overstate how angry some Republican members are.”[Snip] It is not Jim Jordan. It is the fact that Kevin McCarthy was the victim of a drive-by shooting orchestrated by a small group of people and Stevie Scalise got one crack at it.[Snip] Gowdy was likely referring to the strong-arm tactics Jordan’s supporters have been reportedly using while lobbying on his behalf.
Harvard pro-Palestinian groups held a 'die-in' on Wednesday, just over a week after the deadly terrorist attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 people in Israel.
The protests come just 12 days after the attack and a letter backed by 33 Harvard student groups that blamed Israel for the attack by Hamas terrorists sparked national outrage.
The Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee and Harvard Graduate Students for Palestine organized Wednesday's march from Harvard's main campus in Cambridge to its business school in Boston.
Pope Francis received in private audience Tuesday Sister Jeannine Gramick, cofounder of the pro-LGBT group New Ways Ministry, which has been denied the title “Catholic” by Church authorities.
The pope received Sister Gramick at his Casa Santa Marta residence for a 50-minute meeting Tuesday afternoon. Gramick, who was accompanied by 3 New Ways Ministry staff members, thanked Francis “for his openness to blessing same-sex unions, as well as for his opposition to the criminalization of LGBT+ people in civil society,” according to a firsthand witness.
Twenty-two House Republicans on Wednesday declined to vote to make Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) the next Speaker of the House.
The House held another vote on if House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), the Republican nominee for Speaker, should become the leader of the House. Not enough Republicans voted to make him Speaker after 15 days without a Republican leader of the House.
Jordan received 199 votes, House Democrat Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) received 212 votes, and 22 lawmakers voted for someone other than Jordan and Jeffries.
The 22 Republicans who declined to vote for Jordan include:
Representative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) failed to secure the speaker’s gavel for the second time in a Wednesday afternoon vote that saw Republican support for the hardline Ohio lawmaker shrink slightly from where it stood on the first ballot.
With the entire Democratic caucus falling in line behind House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Jordan could only afford to lose a handful of Republican votes after 20 GOP holdouts voted against him on Tuesday, costing him the gavel on the first ballot.
Jordan’s team appears to have lost ground since then, as 22 House Republicans voted against the party’s nominee in Wednesday’s vote. Representative Pete Stauber (R., Minn.) switched his allegiances
Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell pleaded guilty Thursday morning in the Georgia election interference case on the eve of her trial alongside co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro.
Powell entered her guilty plea in Fulton County Superior Court, part of a deal reached with prosecutors, in which she pled guilty to six misdemeanor counts. In her plea, Powell agreed to serve six years of probation and pay a $6,000 fine and $2,700 in restitution to the state of Georgia. She also agreed to submit an apology letter to the citizens of Georgia and to testify at related court proceedings.
Powell was one of 19 defendants
The intent of the RFK Jr. independent campaign, as an operation to support Biden and hurt Donald Trump, becomes even more obvious when you look at the recent Marist Polling [SEE HERE].
In a three-way contest with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. running as an independent, Biden opens up a 7-point lead over Trump. 44% of registered voters support Biden. 37% back Trump, and 16% are for Kennedy.
With Kennedy in the race, Biden’s support dips 5 percentage points among Democrats while Trump loses 10 points among Republicans.
“Barry’s Fingerprints Are All Over This”…

In discussion of the Middle East, the current dynamic of Hamas attacking Israel, and the necessary, albeit perhaps painful response that will now be delivered by Israel, some have noted Obama’s fingerprints are all over this. It’s true, and it is worth remembering the history of this as it pertains to the U.S. triggering the Arab Spring as the first deployment of Obama’s foreign policy.(snip)
The layers and layers of ideologues he and Hillary embedded in the institutions of the State Dept are as deep as the layers of ideologues Obama embedded in Main Justice and the intelligence community.
Citi has fired one of its personal bankers after she defended Hitler and the holocaust in a vile anti-Semitic post following the Hamas terror attacks.
CUNY Brooklyn College graduate Nozima Husainova, 25, sparked outrage with the remark which she posted on her now-deleted Instagram page and she's since lost her job, the bank confirmed Thursday.
Responding to a post about the Gaza hospital bombing that Israel has denied, she wrote: 'No wonder why Hitler wanted to get rid of them all,' complete with a smiley face emoji.

Sucks to be them. Maybe they shouldn't have gone woke. And raising prices in this economy with other big parks holding firm on their prices, they will continue to see attendance drop as even fewer families can afford a trip to the Mouse House.
