Lawmaker Threatens a ‘Living Hell’ for Disney as LGBTQ Feud Intensifies

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Walt Disney Co.’s proclamation that it will somehow force an overturn of Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education” bill that Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law on Monday could mean the loss of government perks that will lead to “a living hell” for the company best known for family-friendly theme parks and movies, state Representative Anthony Sabatini told Newsweek on Friday.

Sabatini enthusiastically voted in favor of House Bill 1557, which critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” law, in February and has been one of its highest-profile proponents ever since Disney issued a March 28 decree saying its “goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts.”

In response, some lawmakers are threatening to reverse government favors that have benefited Disney since 1967, when Florida created something called the “Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID).” This gave Disney taxing and other privileges and allowed it to “act with the same authority and responsibility as a county government,” a favor that made sense to politicians at the time since Disney was promising to turn 38.5 square miles of “largely uninhabited pasture and swampland into a global destination,” according to the RCID website.

“When Disney purchased land for its theme parks, it pushed through laws that said it was self-governing,” Sabatini told Newsweek. “They have their own police and fire departments and could even have their own nuclear power plant if they wished. If it were up to me, I’d call a special session and Disney would lose all of it. If they’re governed by local authorities, it’s not going to be pretty for them—they’ll be subject to all sorts of crazy taxes, rules and regulations. It will make life a living hell for them. They’ll be regulated like everybody else.”

DeSantis, in fact, signaled during a Thursday press conference that he’s open to the idea of reversing special privileges that had been carved out for Disney, though repealing corporate state tax breaks are off the table since all businesses qualify for them. DeSantis said he’d be in favor of not allowing Disney “to have their own set of rules compared to everybody else.” (Read more from “Florida Lawmaker Threatens a ‘Living Hell’ for Disney as LGBTQ Feud Intensifies” HERE)

WATCH: Joe Biden Managed to Fall Asleep Standing Up, Mix Himself up With Michelle Obama All at One Event

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. It’s getting increasingly anxiety-inducing to watch President Joe Biden give these public addresses. This Saturday, the president and first lady spoke at the commissioning commemoration ceremony of the USS Delaware.

The remarks weren’t exactly memorable because either of them said something groundbreaking. The president, however, did mix himself up with former First Lady Michelle Obama, with “Michelle Obama” trending on Twitter for Saturday night.

As a result, the White House transcript had to go in and save him, as they’ve had to do before with this administration. “And I’m deeply proud of the work she is doing as First Lady with Joining Forces initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she [I] was Vice President and now carries on,” is how the transcript has it, indicating the president had mistakenly referred to Michelle Obama as vice president.

Nearly 1 in 5 Democrats Want Hillary Clinton as Their Nominee if Biden Can’t Run In 2024

By Washington Free Beacon. A majority of Americans said they have “doubts” about President Joe Biden’s mental fitness, while nearly two-thirds said he might be “too old” to be president, according to a recently published Harvard-Harris poll.

The results are not exactly surprising, given the alarming rate at which Biden, 79, has been committing gaffes on the international stage amid the lingering threat of nuclear war. Nevertheless, they might come as a surprise to consumers of mainstream media, where the coverage of the Biden administration tends to portray the president as a sharp and steadfast leader in these trying times.

The poll found that 55 percent of Americans had doubts as to whether Biden was “mentally fit to serve” as president, compared with 45 percent who expressed confidence in his mental fitness. By an identical margin, Americans also expressed doubts about Biden’s ability to “handle difficult international issues.” Asked whether Biden was “showing he is too old to be president,” 62 percent of Americans said yes, while 38 percent said otherwise, including one in three Democrats. Two-thirds of Hispanic voters said Biden might be too old to be president, along with 43 percent of black voters.

GOP Governor Slams Trump as ‘F***Ing Crazy’ at DC Event

/1 Comment/in , , /by

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican, lambasted former President Donald Trump as “f***ing crazy” in a monologue at an elite DC event for journalists over the weekend.

Sununu was one of a number of speakers at the annual Gridiron Club dinner Saturday evening, which returned after a three year hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The event, attended by political and media elites, features skits and speeches from a bipartisan roster of lawmakers, all of which involve roasting one another. The New Hampshire governor, according to Politico, initially pretended to praise the 45th president’s “experience,” “passion,” “sense of integrity,” and the “rationale” he brought to his tweets.

“Nah,” Sununu, who is considered as a 2024 contender, continued, “I’m just kidding. He’s f***ing crazy,” causing the Renaissance Hotel ballroom to erupt in laughter.

“Are you kidding? Come on,” the Republican governor then jokingly asked the crowd of if they thought he was seriously praising the former president’s tweets. “You guys are buying that? I love it.” Sununu then revealed that Trump “just stresses me out so much,” before pledging that he was “going to deny I ever said” what he had.

Sununu, who has served as governor since 2017, went on to quip that “The press often will ask me if I think Donald Trump is crazy. I’ll say it this way: I don’t think he’s so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution. But I think if he were in one, he ain’t getting out.” The governor also told the story of when the then-president was visiting the Granite State and offered him a ride in the presidential limo, known as The Beast. According to Sununu, Trump pointed to a crowd of people holding signs outside and remarked, “They love me.” The problem, he said, was that the man he pointed to was holding a sign that actually read, “F*** Trump.” (Read more from “GOP Governor Slams Trump as ‘F***Ing Crazy’ at DC Event” HERE)

US Navy Announces New Ship Will Be Named After Darling of the Left

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro announced Thursday that the Navy is naming a ship after former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, getting the announcement out just under the wire as Women’s History Month came to a close.

Ginsburg’s name will be on a ship that is not yet built, but it will be a John Lewis-class replenishment oiler, according to a Navy news release.

The Lewis class of ships has been used to memorialize other liberal icons, including Sen. Robert F. Kennedy of New York, former Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren, gay activist Harvey Milk and Lewis himself, who was a civil rights activist before serving 17 terms as a Georgia congressman.

Famous Cookie Brand Joins Woke Corporations Pushing LGBT Ideology

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Oreo Cookie released a new ad Monday that celebrates a young man coming out as gay to his family.

“Coming out doesn’t happen just once. It’s a journey that needs love and courage every step of the way. Share our new film and let someone know you’re their #LifelongAlly,” the introduction to the ad reads.

The ad is co-sponsored by PFLAG, an organization that encourages families to embrace their LGBT family members.

The ad features a young man sitting with his sister and parents at a kitchen table. His immediate family already knows he’s gay and is supportive of him, but he is nervous about coming out to his grandmother, who is soon visiting.

The young man is reviewing a letter he seemingly wrote to prepare for this moment, but he stutters and is comforted by his mother. “I think you’re ready,” his mother says to him in anticipation of his grandmother visiting.

Roger Stone Defends Madison Cawthorn and Says He Can Confirm DC’s Cocaine-Fueled Orgies ‘First Hand’; Former MAGA Senate Candidate Says Cawthorn Is Right — And GOP Is Loaded With ‘Drug-Sniffing’ Child Traffickers

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Independent. Roger Stone, a longtime confidante and ally of Donald Trump, came to the defence of far-right Rep Madison Cawthorn on Thursday in a way the freshman congressman will probably wish he hadn’t.

Speaking with the conspiracy purveyors on Alex Jones’s InfoWars, Mr Stone weighed in on the evolving controversy surrounding Mr Cawthorn’s claim that he had been invited to orgies by veteran figures on Capitol Hill and witnessed others doing cocaine, claiming that he could confirm both practices to be alive and well.

“I can tell you first hand that these parties happen. I can tell you that they continue to happen. I can tell you that Madison Cawthorn told me yesterday that he had not retracted what he said, even though Kevin McCarthy has popped up and is now speaking for the member of Congress,” Mr Stone alleged.

His claims are likely only to fuel the growing animosity that members of the GOP House and Senate caucuses are beginning to express openly towards the 26-year-old Mr Cawthorn, the youngest-serving member of Congress. The original comments by the North Carolina freshman member, made earlier this week, exploded across social media after they were published in a video interview and resulted in Mr Cawthorn being hauled into a meeting with GOP leaders Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise for a dressing-down on Wednesday.

“Some of the people leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country, and then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine right in front of you. And it’s like, this is wild,” stated the lawmaker. (Read more from “Roger Stone Defends Madison Cawthorn and Says He Can Confirm DC’s Cocaine-Fueled Orgies ‘First Hand’” HERE)

Former MAGA Senate Candidate Says Madison Cawthorn Is Right — And GOP Is Loaded With ‘Drug-Sniffing’ Child Traffickers

By Raw Story. On Thursday, Lauren Witzke, the far-right former Republican Senate nominee for Delaware, claimed on The Stew Peters Show that Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) “exposed” the GOP as child traffickers with his recent assertion that Republican members of Congress engage in drug-fueled orgies — an unsubstantiated claim that has gotten him broadly disowned by many Republican officials in his state.

The claim came during a discussion of the sex trafficking ring of the late billionaire wealth manager Jeffrey Epstein, and the people who may have patronized his parties. . .

“When we hear congressmen like Congressman Cawthorn speak out in this manner, we have to applaud them,” said co-host Edward Szall. “We have to stand with them because what he’s doing is he’s showing us behind the scenes. He’s showing us behind the curtain. The emperor’s not just naked, the emperor’s having sex with a kid. Okay?”

“Yes,” said Witzke. “And not only that, now [House Minority Leader Kevin] McCarthy’s getting involved. He heard about it. It sparked some outrage. It’s upset some people in the GOP that Madison Cawthorn would have the audacity to expose them for the orgy-attending, drug-sniffing, children-raping people that they are.” (Read more from “Former MAGA Senate Candidate Says Madison Cawthorn Is Right — And GOP Is Loaded With ‘Drug-Sniffing’ Child Traffickers” HERE)

Not So Lucky: Eating This Beloved Cereal Could Make You Physically Ill

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Lucky Charms — the sugary breakfast cereal made by General Mills that has long used a leprechaun mascot — is believed to be making people sick nationwide, The Post has learned from reports on a consumer complaint website.

At least 139 consumers across the country reported they vomited and had diarrhea after eating a bowl of the cereal that’s marketed to kids, according to iwaspoisoned.com, a platform that tracks food-borne illnesses.

In March, Jan Judd of Heber City, Utah, said she ate a bowl as a snack one evening and a few hours later she was cramping up, nauseous and up much of the night with diarrhea.

“I felt lousy for 24 hours, even worse than I felt when I had COVID-19,” Judd told The Post.

Lacey Pack of Friona, Texas, gave her 3-year-old son Jackson a mid-afternoon snack of the cereal without milk on March 6. Several hours later, he began “projectile vomiting” and didn’t stop until the following day, she told The Post.

WATCH: FBI Cyber Chief CAN’T FIND Hunter Biden’s Laptop

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) got into a heated spat over the whereabouts of Hunter Biden’s laptop during a House Judiciary hearing on oversight of the FBI’s Cyber Division on Tuesday.

The Republican firebrand used his allotted time to grill the division’s assistant director Bryan Vorndran, who repeatedly told Gaetz he didn’t have any information on where the hard drive belonging to President Joe Biden’s son is currently located.

At one point Gaetz tried to enter the hard drive into the Congressional record but was blocked by House Judiciary Chair Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), who changed his mind a short while later.

‘Sir, I’m not here to talk about the laptop. I’m here to talk about the FBI’s cyber program,’ Vorndran told Gaetz after the lawmaker asked where it was. . .

‘You are the assistant director of FBI cyber. I want to know where Hunter Biden’s laptop is. Where is it?’ he pressed. (Read more from “FBI Cyber Chief Can’t Find Hunter Biden’s Laptop” HERE)

‘Today Is Just a Small Taste’: Grassley Drops New Hunter Biden Documents

By Townhall. Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley took to the Senate floor Tuesday night to give “a little taste” of new information about Hunter Biden’s deep business and family ties to communist China.

“Today, Senator Johnson and I will begin our series of speeches on our investigation into the Biden Family’s financial deals,” Grassley said. “We’ll refute and dismantle the talking point that the liberal media and our Democratic colleagues pushed on the American people: That our investigation advanced and spread Russian disinformation.”

Using posters displaying documents, Grassley connected the dots right to Hunter’s bank account.

Twitter Locked My Account for Telling the Truth About ‘Woman of the Year’ Rachel Levine

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Over the weekend, Twitter locked me out of my account for stating the obvious fact that Rachel Levine, the U.S. assistant secretary for health, is a man. The corporate press, Big Tech, and even the U.S. government all refer to Levine, 64, as a “trans woman.” But this only means he dresses and presents himself as a woman, and asks the rest of the world to indulge him in what amounts to at best a flight of fancy, and at worst a dangerous delusion. And for the most part, the world obliges.

But there is no way around the stubborn fact of Levine’s manhood. He lived the first 54 years of his life as a man, fathered two children with his wife of 25 years, and only decided to “transition” about ten years ago. Twitter has told me it will unlock my account if I delete my offending tweet, but I’m not going to. Rachel Levine is a man, he will always be a man, and I refuse to pretend he’s not.

I’m not the first commentator to get locked out of Twitter for pointing this out. Indeed, my offending tweet was merely linking to a column I wrote last week detailing how Twitter had locked out The Babylon Bee, its Editor in Chief Kyle Mann, its founder Adam Ford, and Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, all of whom ran afoul of Twitter’s terms of service for saying Levine is a man. (Actually, Mann got locked out for joking, in response to the Bee’s account getting locked, “Maybe they’ll let us back into our @TheBabylonBee Twitter account if we throw a few thousand Uighurs in a concentration camp.” But you get the point.)

In Twitter-world, saying Levine is a man amounts to “hateful conduct.” As you can well imagine, Twitter’s hateful conduct policy is rather capacious. It isn’t limited to prohibitions on obvious things like violent threats or harassment, or calling for harm to specific groups of people. It also includes, “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.” (Read more from “Twitter Locked My Account for Telling the Truth About ‘Woman of the Year’ Rachel Levine” HERE)

Trans Nightmare: Girl Announces Gender Surgery for Horrifying New Reason (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .In a video shared to the Twitter account Libs of Tik Tok on Monday, a young woman with a private TikTok account @searogue laid out the struggle she’s having beginning her gender transition to bedcome a male — but not for the reasons one might think.

The young woman is torn because, as she claims, she is “cis-gendered” while many of the 30 or so other personalities she shares her body with are male.

It seems this is an alarming mental illness wrapped in a woke worldview that makes it worse. (Read more from “Trans Nightmare: Girl Announces Gender Surgery for Horrifying New Reason (VIDEO)” HERE)
