‘Mandalorian’ star Gina Carano fired after social media post
ktla ^ | 02/11/2021

Posted on 02/11/2021 7:26:02 AM PST by BenLurkin

Carano fell under heavy criticism after she posted that “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…. even by children.”

The actor continued to say, “Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”

Carano, a former mixed martial artist whose Dune character used a mix of heavy weapons and her fists to best opponents, had been criticized for social media posts that mocked mask wearing during the pandemic and alleged voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. She also mocked the use of gender pronouns, listing “beep/bop/boop” in her social media bio.

She is right. Conservatives are the new Jews.

All I can think of is malodorous. Is this the stinky Jedi?

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed The Mandalorian.

Because they’ve fired Gina, we are canceling Disney+ and never watching again. It sucks, but I can’t let people use my dollars to act contrary to my beliefs.

That's her biggest thought crime. Lefties don't like it when you laugh at their stupidity.

Wow that bears repeating!
No wonder they fired her... That had to sting!

She was basically fired for complaining that she could get fired for complaining that she could be fired.

SING A LITTLE LOUDER
After a speech, pro-life activist Penny Lea was approached by an old man. Weeping, he told her the following story:

“I lived in Germany during the Nazi holocaust. I considered myself a Christian. I attended church since I was a small boy. We had heard the stories of what was happening to the Jews, but like most people today in this country, we tried to distance ourselves from the reality of what was really taking place. What could anyone do to stop it?

A railroad track ran behind our small church, and each Sunday morning we would hear the whistle from a distance and then the clacking of the wheels moving over the track. We became disturbed when one Sunday we noticed cries coming from the train as it passed by. We grimly realized that the train was carrying Jews. They were like cattle in those cars!

Week after week that train whistle would blow. We would dread to hear the sound of those old wheels because we knew that the Jews would begin to cry out to us as they passed our church. It was so terribly disturbing! We could do nothing to help these poor miserable people, yet their screams tormented us. We knew exactly at what time that whistle would blow, and we decided the only way to keep from being so disturbed by the cries was to start singing our hymns. By the time that train came rumbling past the church yard, we were singing at the top of our voices. If some of the screams reached our ears, we’d just sing a little louder until we could hear them no more. Years have passed and no one talks about it much anymore, but I still hear that train whistle in my sleep. I can still hear them crying out for help. God forgive all of us who called ourselves Christians, yet did nothing to intervene.

“Their screams tormented us . . . If some of their screams reached our ears we’d just sing a little louder.”

“My family and I thoroughly enjoyed The Mandalorian.”

I watched it and hated every moment of it! I dumped disney channel after I finished with it. They absolutely bored me to death with the merchandizing and horrible stories. If i never see another lifeless deadeyed yoda doll it will be too soon.

But there was this one great actress that disney apparently has fired for daring to speak truth to power.

She had every right to her view and the right to express her view.

Her former employer has every right to terminate their relationship with her.

Don’t worrry. I’m not touching Disney; you shouldn’t either. Do they own Comcast by any chance? If they do, I can reduce my cable footprint also.
