Disney loses Special Self-Governing Status in Florida

by  Selim Algar

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Friday nixing the Walt Disney Company’s sweet tax deal with the state — after the entertainment giant opposed its so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law.

Asserting that the company was aiming to “inject sexuality” into its content, DeSantis said he was not “comfortable having that type of agenda getting special treatment in my state.”

Enacted in 1967 to attract Disney to Florida, the so-called Reedy Creek Improvement District gives the company near autonomy — including control over police and fire units as well as infrastructure management — at its properties.

The abrupt nixing of the 55-year-old pact came after Disney objected to legislation DeSantis initiated that banned instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation for kids in kindergarten through the third grade.

Supporters of the law assert that it shields kids from inappropriately sexual material in the younger grades and protects them against forms of indoctrination.

But vocal critics — including top Disney brass — have bashed it as a “cruel” attack on the LGBTQ community and dubbed it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

“Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that,” Disney said after the bill’s passage.[The 'goal' of Disney is to create a generation of groomed kids for the elite's pleasure wihtout regard for anything or anyone else.

President Joe Biden said Friday that Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education” bill signed by DeSantis signaled a shift in the Republican Party.

“It’s not even conservative in a traditional sense of conservatism,” he said. “It’s mean, it’s ugly. Look at what’s happening in Florida: Christ, they’re going after Mickey Mouse.” [The babblings of a complete idiot..one might say the exact same thing to you Joe over your son's vile doings. - ED]

DeSantis resumed his attacks on Disney’s ideological priorities just before signing the bill at a Friday press conference.

He said the special tax district was a “partnership that developed early on with Walt Disney — I don’t think Walt would appreciate what’s going on with this company right now,” he said, referring to the company’s founder. [AMEN!!. - ED]

The controversial legislation is scheduled to take effect in June 2023, a window that could allow the two sides to hammer out a revised deal.

With the special district’s dissolution, the Orlando theme park — one of Florida’s biggest employers — would be subject to the governance of Orange and Osceola Counties. [Oh Boo Hoo...Hoo why should you be different than anybody else? - ED]

DeSantis addressed concerns that the new structure would saddle those municipalities with current Disney debt, which is estimated at $2 billion, for the services they would pick up. [And how would that be different from what Congress does daily? - ED]

DeSantis rejected those concerns and said the company would now be confronted with a much higher tax bill that would cover costs.

Opened in 1971, the attraction employs about 77,000 people and is one of the most visited theme parks in the world.




Libs of TikTok Doxing Uncovers Secret Hacker-Government Mercenary Alliance Behind Regime’s War on MAGA Americans

by Revolver News


American dissidents of all stripes are ablaze with anger after The Washington Post’s most repugnant reporter, Taylor Lorenz, published yet another piece trying to ruin someone more popular than her.

Taylor Lorenz, a Washington Post columnist, wrote a Tuesday article titled, “Meet the woman behind Libs of TikTok, secretly fueling the right’s outrage machine,” revealing the identity of the user who had intended to remain anonymous. The piece linked the user’s real estate page listing her full name and home address, which the outlet later removed.

The account, which nearly has 700,000 followers, posts TikTok videos of liberals in order to spark a reaction among conservative audiences.

Lorenz reportedly contacted Libs of TikTok early Tuesday telling the account they are “being implicated as a hate campaign against LGBTQ people,” the account said. [Daily Caller]

For those not paying attention, the blazing hot Libs of TikTok account simply finds TikTok videos wherein crazed liberals and LGBTQ-ers, many of them teachers of innocent children, unabashedly reveal their deviant grooming agenda for public consumption.

For instance:

Few people are more repugnant than Taylor Lorenz, who once falsely accused billionaire Marc Andreeson of using the “r-slur” in a Clubhouse room, and whose age is humorously difficult to pin down. Mere weeks ago, Lorenz had a meltdown over “online harassment” in an interview with MSNBC, then pressured the channel into deleting the interview.

This was Taylor Lorenz a couple of weeks ago.

She was crying victim of "harassment”.

Today she tracked down and harassed family members of the @libsoftiktok account for an article she’s working on.

It turns out Taylor’s the perpetrator, not victim.pic.twitter.com/CifXGvASCV

Lorenz may be repulsive, to say the least. She certainly courted, assiduously, all the hatred coming her way. But there is a bigger story here. This incident is a case study in how the ruling regime uses cutout “NGOs” and “hackers” to target dissidents for annihilation. It wasn’t Taylor Lorenz who doxed Libs of TikTok. Lorenz is a used-up cocktail waitress for the regime. She’s far too talentless to achieve such a feat. Instead, it was a motley crew of regime actors.
