Disney drops Dumbo trigger warning; a nation's children scarred for life | Blaze Media

Disney drops Dumbo trigger warning; a nation's children scarred for life | Blaze Media

The company, according to Axios, is dialing back on DEI-style policies and focusing more on the bottom line. Imagine that.

Even more shocking? Disney's signature streaming service will no longer force subscribers to watch a trigger warning before enjoying some of its classic films.

Think of the children … the children!

Aunt Jemima smiles-----The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has elevated The Quaker Oats Company's recall of a pancake mix to the highest risk level.

Kim Komando!-----Your digital trail Even if Linda never searched online for knives, her smartphone was busy collecting data. Your phone tracks your location, not just through GPS but also Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals.

“I was shopping yesterday at Walmart, looking at kitchen knives. I called my friend and told her where I was in the store. I didn’t buy the knives. Today, I received an email advertising the very knives I was looking at! How did that happen? I never looked knives up online.” 
  • Even if Linda never searched online for knives, her smartphone was busy collecting data. Your phone tracks your location, not just through GPS but also Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals.
  • If you’ve connected to a store’s Wi-Fi or walked in with Bluetooth on, Walmart and other retailers can track your movements. They know where you’re standing in the store. They also know you didn’t buy the knives.
Retailers sell this data to ad networks that then work with data brokers to get your email address. Bingo. Linda got an email from the knife company. I bet she starts seeing ads for knives and related items online, too.
But wait, there’s more

We Are Now Able to See What Google Searches Spiked in DC After Trump's Victory - They Are Afraid

Now, of course, wanting to 1) send money internationally, 2) erase data from devices, or 3) retain legal advice is in no way dispositive of illegal activities.

These things, in and of themselves, are totally legal. We don’t mean to imply they aren’t. There aren’t a raft of searches emanating from D.C., asking Google, “will my Pontiac Aztek draw attention to my massive meth-producing operation?” at least as far as WikiLeaks has discovered or that we could confirm.

That being said, Washington, D.C. is a company town that makes nothing but laws and bureaucrats. What does it say, then, that the latter seem to be very, very interested in international wealth transfers, data erasure, and legal representation in the aftermath of Jan. 20?

Young Adult Mortality 70 Percent Higher Than Expected, Mostly From Unnatural Causes, Study Finds | The Epoch Times - George Citroner
Young Americans are dying at unprecedented rates, with a new study showing a surge in mortality driven by drug poisoning, alcohol-related deaths, and emerging health challenges.
Young adult deaths in 2023 were 70 percent higher than they would have been if pre-2011 trends had continued.
“One surprising thing about the increases in these causes of death are that these are causes of death that primarily kill people at much older ages,”...
Major TrendsThe study, published in JAMA Network Open, examined more than 3.3 million deaths of U.S. adults ages 25 to 44 between 1999 and 2023. 
There were two distinct trends in rise in mortality, with a rise from 2011 to 2019, and a significant higher rise from 2020 to 2023...

DHS cuts over 400 employees * WorldNetDaily * by Hailey Gomez, Daily Caller News Foundation

The Trump administration has focused on cutting government waste through groups like the Department of Government Efficiency and offered payouts to government employees. The majority of the cuts came from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which saw more than 200 employees let go.

Wasn't there a bunch of CO2 blasted in the atmosphere during 1939-1945? "Temp" went down!

 

Democrat Governors Go Green, Make Electric Prices Skyrocket, and Then Blame the Grid Operators They Hamstringed

The five states complaining to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission have some of the nation’s more expensive electricity. And it’s all their fault... - Thomas J Shepstone - Guest Post by Gordon Tomb of the Commonwealth Foundation.
  • In October, electric grid operator PJM Interconnection received a joint letter from five Democrat governorsPennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro, Illinois’ JB Pritzker, New Jersey’s Phil Murphy, Maryland’s Wes Moore, and Delaware’s John Carney. According to them, PJM, which supplies electricity to 13 states and the District of Columbia, has gouged customers with its annual capacity auctions.
These auctions are where power producers bid to gain access to the grid to distribute electricity they generate. 
  • Last year, a shortage of suppliers drove bids higher, resulting in $14.7 billion in additional costs that households and businesses will absorb in their electricity bills...

Political Incitement: Democrats Are Reviving Nazi-Era Tactics

The Weimar Republic, a fractured, democratic nation beset by internal strife, serves as one such lesson. The tactics used by its political radicals—particularly those of the Nazi Party—did not begin with violence but with rhetoric.  @amuse
The past is never truly past. 
History offers not just instruction but stark warnings for those willing to heed them. 
The Weimar Republic, a fractured, democratic nation beset by internal strife, serves as one such lesson. The tactics used by its political radicals—particularly those of the Nazi Party—did not begin with violence but with rhetoric. 
  • They did not initially seize power through physical force; instead, they created a public consensus through words. 
  • Words that dehumanized
  • Words that painted entire groups as threats to society itself. 
  • Words that, in their incessant repetition, made violence seem not just possible but necessary.
A strikingly similar pattern is emerging in the contemporary United States...

Murica!-----Gentlemen, Start Your Engines! AF One Flies Above Daytona, Trump Takes 'The Beast' Round the Track

Fresh off his visit to the Super Bowl (the only sitting president to ever attend), the president kept at it on Sunday, hanging out with racing legend Richard Petty and taking “The Beast”—the commander-in-chief’s armored limousine—around the track at the Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Florida as he set the pace. - Bob Hoge

It was quite a day:

President Donald Trump received cheers from the crowd at Daytona International Speedway as Air Force One landed at the airport ahead of his arrival for the Daytona 500 on Sunday.

The president’s plane flew over the speedway before it landed at Daytona International Airport. Cheers from the crowd were heard on the FOX broadcast as the pre-race hosts talked to Chase Elliott. NASCAR fans and drivers watched as the plane flew over the track.

Money stolen from Americans!

DEI is on its last legs, but the right risks keeping it alive | Blaze Media

Conservatives should resist that temptation because nothing hardens a group more than overusing the terms used to police its behavior. It’s the reason many right-wing pundits stopped caring about being called “racist.” Doing the same with DEI is the blueprint for breathing life into identity obsession, not what you do if you want it to die.

Must read! Comments at link too!-----Cernovich on X: "The impossibly rich lifestyle of DC liberals, funded by YOU the taxpayer, without your consent or approval.

This is how they live, and the receipts prove it. USAID, the NEA, and other taxpayer-funded programs issue billions of dollars in grants. Cernovich@Cernovich
John and Jane, or Pete and Pete, each work at non-profits who receive these grants. 
The non-profit pays them $300,000 or more. 
In some cases, such as the Kennedy Center, the CEO is paying $1.5 million. 
A married couple takes in $750,000 together, and often much more. 
Off of your back. 
Year after year, and the perks don't stop with salaries. 
Believe it or not, that's small potatoes. 
  • If they want a free ski vacation in Aspen? Well there's a conference being held annually. 
The non-profit will of course fly them there and provide accommodations. 
Every meal is of course non-profit related. 
Eat well.
