Bob Iger is seeking to reassure an anxious arm of Disney’s business. In an off-site meeting on Tuesday, the Disney chief executive spoke to senior leaders of the company’s television businesses, CNN has learned. The meeting came just days after Iger made decidedly candid remarks to CNBC’s David Faber in which he said Disney’s linear business “may not be core” to the entertainment giant — a comment that immediately sent shockwaves through the industry. The admission to Faber naturally set off alarm bells inside Disney General Entertainment Content, the division of the Magic Kingdom that houses its linear business and...

On Saturday, Bloomberg published a guest opinion piece by the former communications director of a pro-pedophile advocacy group. The article, titled “QAnon and ‘Sound of Freedom’ Both Rely on Tired Hollywood Tropes,” was a late arrival to media crusade against ‘Always With Honor’ — a film about, of all things, child trafficking. Freelance journalist Andy Ngo over the weekend pointed out the author of this Bloomberg piece, Noah Berlatsky, had an alarming history of defending pedophiles online.

Despite what “the experts” tell you, the science on the benefits of...

The deep state’s incessant attempts to undermine the 2024 presidential election by throwing President Joe Biden’s number one political enemy in jail is getting old. It seems like every day, Biden bureaucrats and Democrats manufacture new justifications for why former President Donald Trump deserves to be behind bars.“Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter … stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and an Indictment,” Trump announced in a...

US deployment of 2,500 troops to PKK-controlled northern Syria raises counterterrorism concerns, sparking criticism from Türkiye and questioning NATO alliance unity Following Türkiye's relentless struggle against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a series of controversial steps have been taken consecutively by the US.

Biden punishing a censor-gone-rogue like Twitter removes all remaining doubt that the First Amendment is under attack by the government.President Joe Biden’s administration repeatedly insists it is not violating the First Amendment in its attempts to control Americans’ speech using Big Tech. The regime’s recent targeting of Elon Musk and Twitter via weaponization of the Federal Trade Commission, however, suggests otherwise. Why else would it punish the social media company as soon as its incoming CEO pledged to roll back censorship on his app?In light of a federal judge’s recent ruling that barred the Biden administration from colluding with Big...

Iran's Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, Coordinating Deputy of the Islamic Republic's Army (and former Commander of the Navy), alongside Imam Khomeini University of Marine Sciences and Technologies (RA), has unveiled what it is calling the "first product of the quantum processing algorithm. Essentially, a newly-designed quantum computing board that is apparently already being used by the Iranian Military to "counter navigation deception in detecting surface vessels using the quantum algorithms." And with the hardware showcased as part of a photo-op, it didn't take long for someone to notice that the hardware being shown is an off-the-shelf ARM-based FPGA SoC development...

A boy was in for a surprise when he hooked a piranha-like fish in an Oklahoma pond — a long way from its home. The pacu fish, recently caught by Charlie Clinton in a neighborhood pond, is native to South America and is considered an invasive species. So what’s it doing in Oklahoma?

The far-left New York Times quietly admitted this week that deaths from the coronavirus were overcounted by 30 percent. Gee, another “right-wing conspiracy theory” is proven true… The Times’ dishonesty is on full display even in the reporting of this breathtaking news. Does this amazing revelation earn its own headline? Nope. Does this amazing revelation sit at the top of the story? Nope. Here’s how the propagandists at the Times bury the truth: Headline: “A Positive Covid Milestone.” Sub-headline: “In a sign that the pandemic really is over, the total number of Americans dying each day is no longer historically...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 It won’t just be Trump named in a Jan 6 indictment. DOJ/Smith love conspiracy charges and every conspiracy count—obstruction, seditious, etc—needs at least one co-conspirator. Prepare for lawyers, WH officials, campaign aides, and maybe GOP House members to be indicted, too. 11:22 AM · Jul 18, 2023

In a rare move, the Louisiana legislature has voted to override Democrat Governor John Bel Edwards’ veto of a bill that shields children from life-altering sex-change procedures. The bill, called the “Stop Harming Our Kids Act,” will prevent doctors from performing transgender procedures like double mastectomies on girls who identify as boys and administering puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children. “Today was a huge win for the children of Louisiana! I’m proud of my colleagues in the state legislature for standing up to protect the children of our great state. We made it clear today that our children are...

Matthew 11:20-24 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus reproaches the unrepentant towns where he performed most of his mighty deeds. The idea of Jesus as judge is one with which we are distinctly uncomfortable, yet even the most cursory reading of the New Testament reveals its unavoidability. Indeed, it has been said that in front of every church there ought to be a statue of the compassionate Jesus and a statue of Christ in full flight of fury, since both are indisputably present in the Gospel stories. The point is that when God’s own ordo appears in the world, he necessarily...

A new artificial intelligence app claims to allow the user to chat with Biblical (and not-so-Biblical) characters. A trial run leaves the user hoping that the real Biblical characters are more inspiring than their computer-generated counterparts. Bible Pics Chat claims to allow users “to seek guidance and enter the gateway to biblical wisdom” by chatting with Biblical characters. While AI chat programs are now common, they can be tailored to suit individual preferences. For example, when ChatGPT is asked if God exists, it gives a long preamble followed by an ambiguous and unsatisfying conclusion: “Ultimately, whether or not God exists...
