Disney Inc. has done it again, and shredded Ron DeSantis into bits and pieces!

What happened? After Disney opposed the "don't say say"-law in Florida, DeSantis wanted to take the special privileges Disney has on their theme park. So he triggered some special ruling and wanted to replace the board of this special district with his own lackeys.

Disney though was sure that this was coming, and the old board of the "Reedy Creek Inprovement District" passed a ruling, which takes the power away from DeSantis and his buddies. Legally such a ruling cannot be carved in stone forever, so they needed to put a time limit into it when that decision becomes obsolete and DeSantis buddies finally can take over power.

So when will his declaration end? Well... "this Declaration shall continue in effect until twenty one (21)years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King CharlesIII, King of England living as of the date of this Declaration!" (p. 289 in the linked PDF)

God save the King!

I'm not defending DeSatan by posting this but people should also know that "the mouse" has done a lot of dirty mouse deeds to the residents of central Florida. Problem is that DeSatan is not all that smart and is using this to pander to his base - because of that, the mouse will win. The problem with Disney, is not everything the mouse does is above board.


From everything I've read and people who have lived in the area since the 60's, what the Daily Beast has reported is absolutely true.

Disney is a corporation first and anything else second... It bugs me when people think big corporations like that are "woke" because they would gladly advocate sending queer people to death camps if that was more popular... Disney has gotten good at exploiting progressive causes, and certainly has some genuinely progressive employees, but senior leadership is a friend to nobody and never has been. ...kind of like my own company.

I'm thrilled to see Disney "win" vs DeSantis because I see him as a greater evil and because he actually is in the wrong in this case... DeSantis is making himself look like a massive child but lacks the cult of personality to get away with childishness like Trump often has.

Uh boy...

The Texas House will vote as early as Tuesday on whether to expel Rep. Bryan Slaton (R), one of its most conservative members, after an investigation found that he served alcohol to a 19-year-old intern, had inappropriate sexual conduct with her, then tried to cover up his actions. The House General Investigations Committee recommended his expulsion and detailed the investigation in a 16-page report passed out to all 150 members on the House floor on Saturday.
But hey, what a defense:
Slaton, a former Southern Baptist youth and family minister, did not deny the allegations or express regret or remorse for his conduct, the report said. Instead, his lawyer argued that the behavior was conducted outside the workplace and thus none of the committee's business. In April, Slaton's lawyer had accused "second-tier media" of circulating "false" and "outrageous claims" against Slaton.
