Going after children is the bridge too far for many previously disengaged citizens. There is a fast-growing Mama Bear movement – and Disney got between them and their cubs.
When was the last time we saw a Republican leader actually take the fight to the foe?
Apart from the Tweet-happy but profoundly effective previous occupant of the Oval Office, the answer is, we can’t remember.
Until now.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just hit the Disney empire with a roundhouse blow, signing a law depriving them of their longtime special tax district status in Orlando. Ouch. Right on the chin.
Many “conservative” leaders talk a good game but often later explain that, darn it, they just couldn’t do much about the Left’s latest attack on the moral order. They are too polite to engage in the kind of smashmouth politics that Democrats routinely deploy. And here’s Mr. DeSantis doing it with a smile.
Here’s a recap: Florida schools were caught aggressively corrupting children sexually, even in the youngest grades. Prodded by Gov. DeSantis, the Republican-dominated legislature passed the Parental Rights in Education Act, which bars schools from introducing kids in kindergarten through third grade to “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.”
Pressed by LGBTQ activists inside and outside, the Walt Disney Company management denounced the bill and promised to double down on pushing homosexuality and transgenderism in every Disney product and venue. A Disney executive was caught on tape promising to make up to 50 percent of characters reflect LGBTQ identities.
Since Disney is a major Florida employer and revenue magnet, they figured that Gov. DeSantis would quickly cave. They had watched what Indiana Republicans did in 2015 when corporations joined LGBTQ activists in assailing a religious liberty law.
Part of the LGBTQ campaign in Indiana involved vilifying a pizza parlor. A local TV station made Memories Pizza in Walkerton out to be monsters simply because the co-owner said on camera that, due to their Christian beliefs, they would not cater a same-sex wedding. A flood of hate toward this mom-and-pop business ensued. They were forced to close, reopened, but closed permanently n 2018.
In short order, the Republican legislators enacted an amendment that not only gutted the religious liberty bill but even advanced gay rights. A similar bill in Arkansas was watered down after Bentonville-based Wal-Mart weighed in. Similarly, North Carolina’s bill restricting bathrooms to the biological sexes was killed in 2016 after 68 major corporations including American Airlines, Apple, Cisco, eBay, General Electric, IBM, Intel, LinkedIn, Microsoft, NIKE and Salesforce filed an amicus brief challenging it and the NBA and NCAA threatened to leave the state.
This time around, Florida’s governor told a big corporation where to get off and then let the chips fall. So far, they have not fallen Disney’s way.
The company’s stock, which had already dropped 33 percent over the last year, dropped another 22 points in April as families canceled vacations and vowed never to buy Disney products again.
Disney has a huge footprint in the entertainment world. It owns not only Disney’s vast film inventory and studio but Disney+, Lucasfilm (Star Wars), Marvel Entertainment, Pixar, Capital Cities/ABC, ESPN, 21st Century Fox, BAMTech streaming services and many more. The company owns 12 major theme parks around the world, including California’s Disneyland, Walt Disney World’s four parks, and attractions in Paris and Tokyo. In Shanghai and Hong Kong, Disney has minority ownership with a majority share in the parks owned by the communist Chinese government.
Given that Disney brings in billions of dollars to Florida, has three dozen lobbyists in Tallahassee and employs 80,000 Florida residents, Mr. DeSantis has taken a considerable political risk. For its part, Disney is now keeping “its mouth shut,” according to the Wall Street Journal. The paper says Disney allies in the state legislature don’t want any more controversy while they try to restore the tax breaks.
This is about more than a rogue entertainment company getting pushback. It’s about a Republican governor (instead of Bernie Sanders and AOC) going up against a Big Business titan. Wall Street has long assumed that Main Street voters won’t notice Big Business assaulting the moral order at home while sending jobs overseas. But they have.
You’d think that the Trump phenomenon and Biden’s catastrophic presidency would have awakened the corporate world to the existence of a vast Silent Majority of parents of all races. They are looking for someone to champion their values with actions, not just words.
Going after children is the bridge too far for many previously disengaged citizens. There is a fast-growing Mama Bear movement and Disney got between them and their cubs.
Disney’s tone-deaf response to parents desperately fighting to preserve their children’s innocence is evidence that the suits still don’t get it, but soon will.
Meanwhile, God willing, Gov. DeSantis’ example may stiffen other backbones across the land.

To broaden the scope of this article just a bit—why is there such a war on children in this country? School systems want to indoctrinate them on sexual matters before they are even at an age when they can fully understand the subject. If they are White, they want to teach them how horrible they are. Government thinks children are their property and not the offspring of their parents. More ana more children are being shot and/or abused either intentionally or by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
There is a news clip on the MSN homepage this morning about a Louisianna couple who confined their 36-year-old daughter to a sofa for 12 years. She became covered in her own bodily waste and maggots. She died weighing only 96 pounds. What in the hell corrupts the minds of some people to lower themselves to be so barbaric and demonic towards children? This is one incident—I come across stuff like this all the time. What is behind this insanity?
The insanity always begins when the person chooses to rule in a hell of their own making than serve in a heaven created by God. They fear things like MAGA where greatness and success expose and reveal the paucity of their power and warped morality, born of envy and self-hate.
AS stalin said “GIve me the kids and the seeds i sow, will never be uprooted…”
“Meanwhile, God willing, Gov. DeSantis’ example may stiffen other backbones across the land.”
“Pressed by LGBTQ activists inside and outside, the Walt Disney Company management denounced the bill and promised to double down on pushing homosexuality and transgenderism in every Disney product and venue.

The LGBTQ Con is just to want “equality, acceptance and tolerance.”
These LGBTQ’s are the open practitioners of the infamous crime against GOD and nature,
Who sold their souls to the malicious, venomous bullies of Organized LGBTQ mafia.
These Sodomites, will not tolerate and will attack and attempt to destroy anyone and anything not accepting and promoting their degenerate, sexually perverted lifestyle.
You do whatever you want, but I will not have anything to with Disney or any of their products or anything to do with the LGBTQs or their lifestyle.
Bigotry is not necessarily always a bad thing. One need not tolerate or accept every belief or action of another.
American parents should have got a heads up of what Disney perversion was coming down the pike when they edified Child molesting drug enslaved, Michael Jackson in the short movie “Thriller” which in 2009, became the first music video inducted into the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant” whose satanic appeal Disney embraced with open arms of edification for our children, and now condemns our satanic converted Congress as well. Choosing corporate profits in the corrupting of the innocence of children is the typical short-term gain that leads to its own long term Disney destruction. The initiation of Gay Days at Disney also should have become a red flag for days that parents should not take their kids to the theme park to witness male on male lip locks, multi-colored fake hair-doos, exposed tatoos and ear and navel rings on men. Walt must be spinning in his grave while his transgendered LGBTQ Disney namesake crotch grab dances and moonwalks with child molesting Jackson upon the Lake of fire. Gay Disney executives have taken the gay rainbow colors and woven them into the American coat of many colors causing it and the Company to unravel before our very eyes.
The only thing irking me about articles like this, is they seem to only focus on the MOTHERS of these kids..
WHERE THE HELL is the outrage from the fathers?
