Walt Disney World is relaunching a fan-favorite attraction after making major updates, including renaming one its most popular characters. The Country Bear Jamboree - a Magic Kingdom institution since 1971 - shut down in January of this year for a revamp. Renamed 'Country Bear Musical Jamboree,' the animatronic crew of singing bears returns on Wednesday minus one beloved character. Liver Lips McGrowl, a slightly chubby brown bear with pouty lips, was axed from the program over concerns his name is offensive, reported Inside The Magic. The term 'liver lips' describes swollen lips due to excessive alcohol consumption and has also...

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said on Monday that the man who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump guaranteed his victory in the upcoming election. Trump survived the attempt on his life by now-deceased 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at his Saturday rally in Pennsylvania, with the former president pumping his fist as he departed with blood on his face after a bullet grazed his head. Smith on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” said his opinion is that this incident ensured Trump would win and that his legal cases would be terminated.

“Inside Out 2,” the sequel to the 2015 hit animation on a charming, intelligent journey through the emotions of adolescence, adds four new feelings to mix: anxiety, envy, ennui and embarrassment.

The event was held on the sidelines of the 25th Jeonju International Film Festival in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, Thursday. “When we wanted to add new emotions, we had this whole list of all kinds of emotions,...

Whistleblowers from Disney have provided O’Keefe Media Group with Disney’s internal communications, including group chats, bulletin boards, the company’s employee roster and employee websites, and the company’s Slack channel. “What we’ve discovered is so shocking that it makes the Disney Tapes series look like child’s play,” says James O’Keefe, founder of O’Keefe Meda Group. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this month, O’Keefe Media Group revealed in part three of the Disney Tapes series that Disney’s Creative Marketing Director by day and professional drag queen by night, Amit “Genie” Gurnani, revealed Disney’s “unspoken” LGBTQ agenda for children. This only scratched...

Albanian-American roofer Florin Krasniqi has been living in Brooklyn and smuggling American guns into Kosovo to arm the Kosovo Liberation Army--this time for war against its erstwhile saviors, NATO and the UN. The KLA are the bin Laden-trained, Iran-backed narco-terrorists whose 1999 jihad against the Christian Serbs we helped fight, abetting secession and creating a mono-ethnic terror haven and future Islamic republic in Europe. Krasniqi, who raised $30 million from fellow Albanian-Americans to help finance the KLA's war, is the subject of a documentary by Dutch filmmaker Klaartje Quirijns, titled "The Brooklyn Connection," which will air Tuesday night at 10...

President Joe Biden is facing an uprising from some his own party’s wealthy donors, including an heiress to the Disney family fortune, who say they will no longer fund the Democratic Party until Biden drops out of the presidential race following his disastrous debate performance. Abigail Disney, the granddaughter to Roy O. Disney, who cofounded The Walt Disney Company, said Thursday that she plans to withhold donations to the party she has funded for years until Biden drops out. Disney pointed to Vice President Kamala Harris as a solid alternative to Biden, arguing she’d be able to defeat Trump. “We...

James O'Keefe released his latest undercover report yesterday, this one featuring a senior VP at Disney who spilled the beans on the company's DEI hiring practices. Michael Giordano went on a date arranged though an online service and got a lot more than he bargained for. His date was working for O'Keefe and prompted him with questions about what DEI looks like behind the scenes. Giordana said he'd personally applied for many jobs during his 11 years at the company and has seen more diverse candidates with less experience get the promotions. He says one of his friends in HR...

Just wondering what would happen if FR ceased to exist. Talk about a lifestyle change. Inflation is roaring and taking a trip is much more costly. Groceries - fegedaboudit. Brandonomics is hitting everyone very hard. And that's even before buying that very first mandatory EV! Times are tough for everyone.

Senior Vice President at The Walt Disney Company details discriminatory hiring practices: "Nobody else is going to tell you this, but they're not considering any white males for the job," says Michael Giordano, a Vice President of Business affairs, "there’s no way we’re hiring a white male.” Giordano reveals Disney uses "code words and buzzwords" to avoid legal action and even mentions a candidate being rejected for not looking black enough. Giordano also admits Disney gives bonuses to executives for practicing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), agreeing that "diversity helps with financial incentives." Giordano further claims he’s been denied promotions...

Brace yourselves, Star Wars fans! Your favorite franchise is going through yet another round of revisions to create new editions, but not in the way you may have expected.

A recent episode of the woke Star Wars show went overboard with its anti-male, pro-feminism rhetoric by including a scene where lesbians use Force to immaculately conceive babies. The scene appeared in the showrunner Leslye Headland’s newest addition to the Star Wars universe in the form of The Acolyte which was previously called the “gayest Star Wars ever,” the Post Millennial reported.This is Star Wars now thanks to Kathleen Kennedy pic.twitter.com/8gUhIBHzua— Jack Poso 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) June 12, 2024The fans of the universe pointed out that not only is this causing concern for being off canon, but the scene is another...

It's early, so all the precincts haven't reported yet, but the early returns of the gayest Star Wars ever ain't great. And by that, I mean Star Wars: The Acolyte is tracking to be – by FAR – the most hated of the entire franchise. That's right. Worse than Last Jedi. Worse than Solo. Worse than Attack of the Clones. According to Rotten Tomatoes, through two episodes, the newest Disney+ series – which made waves earlier this week when it was deemed the gayest Star Wars yet during an interview with creator Leslye Headland – has an abysmal 31% approval...

There is something of a subculture on YouTube of armchair analysts and commentators, WDW Pro, Valliant Renegade, and ClownfishTV, to name just three (beyond traditional financial websites like CNBC and Seeking Alpha), who track every cultural, corporate, programming, and financial move of The Walt Disney Company, previously one of America’s most iconic and trusted companies. Note: I used the past tense in describing The Walt Disney Company. It is no longer one of America’s most trusted brands, and it’s about to lose its iconic status.How did this happen?On May 7, 2024, in the wake of its successful battle to keep...

The Disney Grooming Syndicate is not playing around when it comes to sexualizing and queering children, including small children. When our editor-in-chief and best-selling New York Times author Alex Marlow related his weekend experience to me, I wasn’t at all surprised (evil’s gonna evil). Then I asked him to tell our readers how a disgusting multinational corporation has made it seemingly impossible for parents to protect their children from content no child should be exposed to [emphasis added]: I’ll do my best to resist sharing my opinion here, as tempting as it is to rage at the Woke Mouse. I’m...

Peltz sold his position at a price of around $120 a share, which yielded a return of about $1 billion, the source said.
