Are there any of their classic characters & movie universes left that Disney hasn’t ruined? We all know why Tim Allen wasn’t brought back as the voice of Lightyear–for the same reason the show Last Man Standing was cancelled by Disney’s ABC despite being #1 in the ratings–he doesn’t check all the boxes for the Woke Thought Police. As always, the “tolerant” Left must cancel anyone who’s right of Karl Marx. And of course, they must shove LGBTQ topics on children too young to even understand heterosexuality. Can kids just be kids, Disney Groomer Academy wokesters?
The media has predictably been having conniption fits over Florida retaliating against Disney. I heard a discussion on the subject between a Republican congressman and a panel of media liberals. I thought one legitimate criticism of the action was that a corporation is being punished for a political viewpoint, which is fundamentally anti-free speech. First of all, I don’t favor Disney or any corporation for that matter getting special privileges and rules over other businesses, which opens up many avenues to corruption and crony capitalism. That said, I do agree that it’s bad practice for government to retaliate against a business for its leaders expressing viewpoints.
But of course, I must say to media liberals using this argument, REALLY?! NOW, you’re suddenly concerned about free speech? After a week where every liberal with a microphone whined hysterically about Elon Musk potentially bringing free speech back to Twitter? After two years where millions of conservatives & libertarians have been censored and de-platformed? After years of cancel culture destroying people’s lives for every anti-PC transgression current or past? Well, let me put your minds at ease. You see, Disney has been lying about the Parental Rights Bill, or put another way, they’ve been spreading “MISINFORMATION!” 😱 They’ve engaged in “HATE SPEECH” against Ron DeSantis! 😱😱😱 So this is simply to protect the public from these DANGEROUS THREATS TO OUR DEMOCRACY!
What?! You don’t agree?! You mean you interpret the meaning of “hate speech” and “misinformation” differently? You think the biases of a small group of “content moderators” and “fact checkers” may make a difference? 🤔 When you characterize the bill as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, should we put a warning box of “Missing Context” or just blur out everything with a “False Information…See Why” stamp? Do you think it’s wrong to do a fact-check on what essentially is an opinion? Anonymous sources tell me that RUSSIAN AGENTS inside Disney may be putting out this disinformation, so we should remove 100% of their content, just to be safe! 👍
So, Max Boot, Andrew Sorkin, Chuck Todd, Brian Stelter, Robert Reich, Rachel Maddow, Mark Zuckerberg, Parag Agrawal, Joy Reid, and the rest of the liberal fascist censorship brigade…have we learned anything from this experience?

IMF Warns Energy and Inflation Costs Will Rise to ‘Intolerable’ Levels
Throughout his presidency Trump has tried to raise alarm bells on how much of an enemy China has become, from the Wuhan Covid virus to unfair trade and the stealing of technology. So why are the Democrats, mainstream media, and corporate America so invested in defending China at every turn? Let’s look at some history.
As a communist country, China was for decades very much a closed society. Remember in history class how much of a big deal it was when Nixon went to China? Large corporations like Coca Cola, GM, McDonalds, and Disney were looking for growth. Farmers were looking for ways to sell their excess crops. Politicians wanted growth of jobs and GDP. They all saw an untapped nation of a billion people. The Chinese Communist government took advantage of their superior bargaining position to put in tariffs and all kind of China-favorable conditions. They were without a doubt unfair to America, but the pros of the new trade market outweighed the cons. As time went by, modern corporations like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, AT&T, Apple and others wanted to expand business and take advantage of cheap Chinese labor, so they went along with Chinese conditions, including censorship and helping them “social credit score” their population.
Fast forward to Trump’s presidency. China has a population of 1.4 billion people and the 2nd largest GDP in the world, yet they still maintain all their trade & other advantages. Trump fought back wherever he could using, among other things, retaliatory tariffs. Almost everyone, including Trump, wants free trade. However, for example, when one nation charges 25% tariff on incoming cars while the other charges nothing, that’s not free trade. The logical thing to do is retaliate with the exact 25% tariff. In a sane world, both nations would realize the tariffs aren’t accomplishing anything and remove them, leading to actual free trade.
But every time Trump tried to even the score, the media and big corporations have opposed him. Why? Corporations are terrified China will kick them out entirely. News outlets are owned by corporations like Disney and AT&T. The Big Tech companies such as Apple and Microsoft have massive operations in China. This defending of China has expanded from trade to virtually everything affecting them, including the Wuhan-originated Covid virus.
China naturally has wanted Trump gone, so they’ve put everything into pressuring and infiltrating the American media and Big Tech companies. You’ve seen the results the past few years – massive bias, one-sided coverage, and censorship. I would not be surprised if China intentionally launched Covid in the U.S. It wouldn’t be that tough when you think about it. All you’d have to do is infect say, 100 hired Chinese visitors to go to sales conferences, airports, or other travel locations where people can contract the virus and take it back to their home cities. Maybe that’s why outbreaks keep popping up, despite lockdowns, mask mandates, and other controls. Democrats have stayed silent on China because Covid, censorship, and media bias have all benefited them tremendously.
There is no bigger winner of the Biden election than China. Expect there to be ZERO accountability for their actions, and business will go back to exactly what it was before Trump was elected.
