Not the Disney I Grew Up With

Time to Stop Corporate Indoctrination

I remember growing up and going to the movie theater with my parents to watch Disney animated movies. Be Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, or Dumbo, it was always fun to go and watch these movies.

Unfortunately, those days and the days of Walt Disney are gone. Today, it seems, the Walt Disney Corporation is not about entertaining your children, but about indoctrinating them, breaking them and molding them into whatever they feel.

Topics such as sexual orientation and gender identity have no business in children programing, but it seems the Walt Disney Company thinks otherwise and they do not want parents to have a say in what their children should and should not watch.

Why would the adult LGBTQ employees of the Walt Disney Company be against legislation protecting children from kindergarten to third grade?

Why would the adult LGBTQ employees of the Walt Disney Company think instructing little kids about sexual orientation and gender identity is the responsibility of the public school system?

What would the adult LGBTQ employees of the Walt Disney Company want with innocent children, your children?

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida signed into law the Parental Rights in Education bill, banning teachers from giving classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through the third grade.

To normal people this is common sense, unless you are a member of the LGBTQ community who happens to work for the Walt Disney Company.

Democrats and leftwing lunatics dubbed the bill, “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which is nothing more than ignorant propaganda spread by the same people who think your kid is their property to bend and break as they please. They did not read the bill, I did, and the bill in no way, shape, or form, suggest such a thing.

I do not have a problem with adults living whichever or whatever type of lifestyle they choose to live, but going after little kids is problematic to say the least.

Listening to the leftwing media and the Walt Disney Company employees complain about the legislation is telling.

It tells me how perverted and sick our society has become when a grown-up thinks it is acceptable to instruct a kindergarten student about sexual orientation and gender identity.

When I was growing up, that type of thought and attitude would have been considered a crime against children.

If I went home and told my parents that my school teacher was talking to us about sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender reassignment issues, my parents would have called the police, that is just the way it was. This type of talk in schools would have been considered child abuse.

Today? Today, total strangers want to influence your children in matters that should be taught at home, by parents, and at time they feel is proper to do so. The only sex education acceptable to be taught at a public-school level should be the scientifically proven and biologically correct.

The LGBTQ employees at the Walt Disney Company should be ashamed of themselves. In my eyes they are nothing more than a bunch of sick sociopaths and a danger to any child.

The Walt Disney Company CEO, Robert Chapek, who claims he is all about the children, should also be ashamed for bending to the will of a minority that does not share the values most Americans live by.

You Cannot Be Serious

Meanwhile in Germany…

“Sticking it to Putin” The Germans great strategy. Photo courtesy of breitbart.com

Since the beginning of the Ukrainian conflict, I have read lots of nonsense, some funny, some not so funny.

All with the intent of “sticking it to Putin.” No country has produced more asinine ideas than Germany.

First, let us start with the latest suggestion from the German media. Masquerade as a “Skip a shower, improves your skin microbiome,” Germany’s Build newspaper has published an article suggesting Germans should take less showers.

The title of the article, “It’s enough to wash THESE four body parts – Why the skin cleans itself if you let it.” Feel free to laugh as I did because this is nothing more than unscientific nonsense, and after the Covid-19 pandemic, suggesting less personal hygiene shows the lack of seriousness from the part of the German government in combating the virus.

In recent days Germany’s economic minister, Robert Habeck, suggested Germans should cut back on their sauna visits, heating, and showers to help Germany cut back on its dependence on Russian energy. He also suggested to ditch gas operated vehicles for bicycles. I guess that vacation to the Piz Palu became a little bit longer.

He went on to say these sacrifices would make life harder for the Russian government and improve people’s skin. Of course, Bob does not have any concrete evidence these measures would achieve its intended purpose. Like the Germans would say, this is a bunch of “unsinn.”

On a different article, Klaus Mueller, the head of their Utilities ministry, suggested Germans should ask themselves “whether you really need to take a hot shower seven days a week – with gas heating.”

As you all know, Germany completely banned Russian gas and oil imports, and according to Mueller, the accumulated reserves will only last until the end of the summer or early fall.

Folks, this is Germany, not some third world undeveloped country and this is the best they can do to “stick it to Putin.”

As the winter approaches, and Germany has no way to fulfill their energy needs, we will see for how long this anti-Russia coalition will last.

Let us be serious, Russia is a bad actor, but the reality is most of these European countries depend on Russian energy to provide for their citizens and the United States cannot cover the difference.

Yellen is Yelling

A Washington in Decay Threatens the World

Submit or Else! U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Photo courtesy of nymag.com

United States Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, went on to threaten the world by stating that governments ‘undermining’ sanctions on Russia will not go unnoticed.

She issued a warning to those countries who according to her are ” sitting on the fence” about issuing sanctions against Russia. She was cited as saying that such “short sighted” policies will not go unnoticed.

Joe Biden was getting pooped on by a bird in Iowa while accusing the Russians of his own failed policies at home. Secretary Yellen feels compelled to threaten the rest of the world if they do not join the United States in its commitment to pushing Russia “further towards economic, financial, and strategic isolation.”

She went on to say, “And let’s be clear, the unified coalition of sanctioning countries will not be indifferent to actions that undermine the sanctions we’ve put in place.”

She is referring mainly to China and India who have refused to sanction Russia and have chosen to look for a diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian conflict instead.

The United States justifies the sanctions by saying they are necessary because the future of the international order “both for peaceful security and economic prosperity,” is now at stake.

The reality is this so-called coalition, is nothing more than a group of decadent countries. France, Germany, Britain, and the United States. Countries like China and India do not agree completely with the policies these countries have adopted towards the Ukrainian conflict, but the United States feels they have the right to tell others how to conduct their foreign affairs.

It is laughable to see the Biden administration issuing empty threats to China. China has adopted a neutral position towards the conflict and Washington has gone on to warned Beijing of “the implications and consequences” which would follow if China decided to support Russia.

Taking in consideration the fact that China is financing much of our debt and holds the cards to our financial future, I am sure Beijing is very scared of the Biden administration and its rhetoric.

In his meeting with India’s Prime Minister Modi, Biden offered to help in the search for other sources of energy, telling the prime minister ‘It is not in India’s interests to increase its dependence on Russia.’

That is even funnier since we do not produce energy for local consumption but are offering to resolve India’s energy problems. Only an incompetent person like Joe Biden would think this is actually a viable solution.

Perhaps Joe Biden feels compelled to help the comedian Zelensky, after all, “the Big Guy” owes him big, but the rest of the world may feel differently.

We need more transparency from the Ukrainian government before we commit more resources and make more demands from our partners.

Unfortunately, the United States is a country in decay so resorting to empty threats and bellicose rhetoric is all we have left.

Of God and Golf

Masters Champion Scottie Scheffler

On Sunday, professional golfer, Scottie Scheffler, won his first Major Championship at The Masters.

As a golf fan and a player, I was extremely impressed with his game, his maturity, and his execution under the pressure of leading a tournament of this magnitude.

Scheffler has publicly expressed his love for family, the meaning of his family to him, but more importantly, his love for God.

In a day and age when speaking so openly about one’s faith can cost anyone a way of making a living, it was refreshing to hear Scottie Scheffler talk about God as a driving force and a motivation to do what he does in and outside of the golf course.

In his press conference he praised his caddie, Ted Scott, who joined his team this year and has helped him win three tour tournaments and a Major in less than sixty days. Ted Scott is a man of faith and they have known each other through the PGA Tour bible study group.

Of Scott, Scheffler said, among many things, “He’s a man of faith and I love him,” “I mean the qualities you look for in a person, Ted embodies pretty much all of them.”

Throughout the press conference Scheffler was very candid about how he felt prior to the final round and how he cried the morning of because of the stress. He told his wife, “I do not think I am ready for this. I am not ready.” “I don’t feel like I am ready for this kind of stuff.” He said he just felt overwhelmed.

He went on to say, Meredith, his high school sweetheart and wife, told him, “Who are you to say that you are not ready?” “What we talked about is that God is in control and the Lord is leading me, and if today’s my time, then it’s my time, and I shot 82 today, somehow I was going to use it for His glory.”

He was asked if his faith played a significant part in his victory. Scheffler went on to say, “Yeah, I would say so. Like I said earlier, what Meredith told me this morning is that we are not in control of our lives, and so I spoke a little bit about what playing golf for me is like, and why I do it. I mean, my faith affects all aspects of my life, not just my life on the golf course, and so the Lord has given me a skill and I am trying to use it for His glory.”

Scottie Scheffler is everything that is right in this crazy world. Scheffler represents the good in all of us and the world could use a few more Scottie Scheffler’s.

The Search for The Truth About Bucha

Do they Really Want to Find It?

Joe Biden continues to go on national television calling Vladimir Putin names and playing the tough guy for everyone to see. In reality, Joe Biden is weak and is using the Ukraine conflict as a smoke screen to camouflage a crippling economy, his own son’s criminal activities, and a dismal approval rating here at home.

With his drug addicted son, Hunter Biden’s investigations and possible indictments, the fixers in the White House are trying to keep the American people in the dark by downplaying the story and by blaming Putin for our energy and economic woes.

As I have written before, all our problems were already here, long before Putin realized Biden was an incompetent fool with a big mouth. Instead of acting, Biden has chosen to play a game of words while the rest of Europe continues to buy gas and oil from Russia because they cannot afford not to.

Enter the Bucha massacre, allegedly perpetrated by the Russian Army. Joe Biden goes on calling Putin a “war criminal,” which it may be true, but coming from a country who refuses to recognize the International Criminal Court as a legitimate entity, it is laughable.

The Russians asked for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, but Britain, who is in charge of the Council, refused to grant such a request, instead telling the Russians they could wait until the regularly scheduled meeting on April 4th.

Why would the British not want to listen to the Russians and their defense against the accusations leveled by Joe Biden and Zelensky?

It is obviously politically motivated and not a search for the truth of what happened in Bucha and who actually did it.

You would think the International Criminal Court would be dispatching an investigative team to the region, but the court’s chief prosecutor, who happens to be British, has not moved a finger despite the fact he announced back in March that he was going full force investigating war crimes allegations.

I guess by the time chief prosecutor Khan decides to send a team, the alleged crime scene will completely be disturbed, bodies moved, and possible witnesses gone. Very convenient if you ask me.

I have a different theory. Could it be the Ukrainian National Police committed these atrocities in retaliation for possible cooperation with the Russian forces by the citizens of Bucha? It is easy to accuse the Russians when nobody is looking for the truth.

Of course, Biden screams “You saw what happened in Bucha,” and Vladimir Putin “is a war criminal.”  Joe Biden is not seeking peace, he does not want peace, instead he is advocating for more weapons deployments to Ukraine to keep the war going. The longer this goes on, the longer he can try to hide his incompetency from the American people.

If we really want to honor the memory of those who perished in Bucha, we deserve, they deserve for the truth to be told. Unfortunately, Joe Biden, Zelensky, and the bellicose west do not feel the same way.
