Disney CEO Bob Iger faced a challenge to his rubber-stamp board in a proxy fight that he was ultimately able to win. The question is emerging; did Ron DeSantis save Bob Igor from Nelson Peltz’ anti-woke challenge? The Florida State Board of Administration (FSBA) chose to not cast their considerable proxy votes in support of Pelz, or any other “anti-woke” candidate. It also voted in favor of Iger’s candidates in 10 out of 12 slots. Ron DeSantis is a trustee on this board and would have been intimately involved in this decision-making process. While the board chose to take an agnostic approach to two of Iger’s rubber stamp board members, the two being challenged by Pelz and Jay Rasulo, it actively chose Iger in 10 of 12 board races. Excerpt from insidethemagic.net Governor Ron DeSantis has been at odds with the Walt Disney Company for months, but it turns out that behind the scenes, he bailed out CEO Bob Iger using the power of the Florida state pension fund. .. while Bob Iger had the support of famous names like Star Wars creator George Lucas and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, it turns out that he also had DeSantis backing him via the Florida State Board of Administration (FSBA). Though that name might not have the cache of Lucasfilm or the world’s biggest bank, it was a key shareholder vote to bail out Iger. The reason for that? Florida state employee pension funds, which are heavily invested in Disney stock and thus gave it a significant voice in the proxy vote. According to the FSBA voting disclosure, it voted in favor of Bob Iger and 10 out of 12 of the current board members. It withheld its vote from Maria Elena Lagomasino and Derica W. Rice, incumbent members of the board, citing various conflicts, but even more crucially, withheld votes from Nelson Peltz, Jay Rasulo, and Jessica Schell, Craig Hatkoff, and Leah Solivan from Blackwells Capital. Although Governor DeSantis has not made a public statement about the FSBA votes to bail out Bob Iger, it is impossible that he did not approve of them. The politician is one of three trustees of the FSBA, along with Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis and Attorney General Ashley Moody, who are empowered with ultimate authority over the organization and its funds. DeSantis had to be aware that he was throwing the weight of Florida state funds behind Disney.
The next stage in the impeachment process for HHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the House’s formal submission of articles of impeachment to the Senate, has been delayed for one week after it became apparent the Senate Dems planned on scuttling it, and the Senate GOP would not proffer a resistance. Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-AR) office released a statement on the decision to delay, stating “To ensure the Senate has adequate time to perform its constitutional duty, the House will transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate next week. There is no reason whatsoever for the Senate to abdicate its responsibility to hold an impeachment trial.” Excerpt from www.politicususa.com Senate Democrats will dispose of Mayorkas impeachment trial in a matter of a few hours on Thursday with little opposition from Republicans. Politico reported: Senate Democrats plan to “dispose” of the House’s impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as quickly as they can on Thursday, a member of Democratic leadership said in an interview. Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, the No. 3 Democrat, deadpanned on Tuesday that the Senate majority is “going to treat it with the seriousness it deserves.” Excerpt from ABC News Speaker Mike Johnson’s office said Tuesday that it will delay the transmission of two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — pushing the process’ start until next week. Johnson had said he would send the articles of impeachment to the Senate on Wednesday, which would immediately trigger the Senate’s next moves on Thursday. A full-scale trial on the Senate floor is not likely, according to senators and leadership aides — despite what many House Republicans want. “To ensure the Senate has adequate time to perform its constitutional duty, the House will transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate next week,” Taylor Haulsee, a spokesman for Johnson, said in a statement. “There is no reason whatsoever for the Senate to abdicate its responsibility to hold an impeachment trial.”

The Venezuelan government has officially submitted its case to the International Court, the Hague, for claiming significant portions of the region inside Guyana called Essequibo. The move is seen as a de-escalation of tensions between Venezuela and Guyana, which can be seen in how their foreign ministry responded to Venezuela’s submission: “Guyana has repeatedly called on Venezuela to participate fully in the judicial proceedings and comply with the Court’s rulings, and therefore welcomes Venezuela’s submissions on the substantive issues that the Court will ultimately decide.” Excerpt from english.almayadeen.net Venezuela has provided a written document to the International Court of Justice ICJ in response to Guyana’s case regarding their dispute over the Essequibo region, ICJ Associate Information Officer Avo Sevag Garabet informed RIA Novosti on Tuesday. The Hague had previously established a deadline for Venezuela to submit all court documents by April 8, 2024.
A poll recently released by J.L. Partners shows Democrat U.S. Senate Incumbent Jon Tester has fallen behind for the first time in his reelection campaign versus Republican challenger Tim Sheehy. The challenger now leads the incumbent 48 to 45. Sheehy said of the latest poll “This poll shows what we’re hearing from folks across the state—Montanans want a political outsider who will deliver common sense solutions that put Montana and America first. Despite Chuck Schumer and Jon Tester smearing us for the last 7 months with nearly $7 million in attack ads, their phony charade is up.

TikTok, the CCP-owned social media platform, has announced it has deleted over 3.1 million videos and 140,000 livestreams that it claims were disseminating “fake news” connected to the Gaza War. It claims it is mostly targeting accounts in support of Hamas. The announcement underscores the power a de facto CCP-owned and operated social media platform is in affecting the daily discourse of Americans, a power only seditionists would continue to allow an enemy of the republic to have over the American people. Excerpt from www.jpost.com Since October 7, 2023, TikTok has removed over 3.1 million videos and suspended over 140,000 livestreams in Israel and the Palestinian territories for violating community guidelines, the social media giant announced.

The one issue the DNC-CCP can rely on to still get votes even as it openly works to destroy our republic is abortion, The bloodlust for the unborn in this country is such that Americans are willing to sacrifice the republic to restore their “right” to sacrifice the undesired unborn so they continue to engage in casual sex without consequences. In that backdrop, President Trump has declared his general support for abortion bans but stated, “The states will determine by vote, or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land – in this case, the law of the state. At the end of the day, this must be about the will of the people.” Excerpt from www.bostonherald.com In a Truth Social morning post, former President Donald Trump backed families trying for the “ultimate joy of life” by having a baby using IVF, adding it is up to the states to decide on abortion. “The states will determine by vote, or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land – in this case, the law of the state,” Trump said in his video post. “At the end of the day, this must be about the will of the people.”
The major DNC-serving media outlets have signaled their intentions to punish the state of Georgia if it dares pass a law preventing people from murdering unborn children after a heartbeat has been detected. NBCUniversal and WarnerMedia joined other major media activist companies, including Disney, in seeking to essentially shake down the governing body of Geogia should they dare not allow the continued sacrifice of unwanted children in their state. Excerpt from ca.style.yahoo.com (Reuters) – NBCUniversal and WarnerMedia on Thursday joined a wave of U.S. media companies, including Walt Disney Co, saying they will reconsider working in Georgia if a new law banning abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected takes effect. Georgia is one of nine U.S. states that have passed strict new limits on abortion this year, moves activists on both sides of the abortion debate have said were aimed at prompting the U.S. Supreme Court to review and strike down the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy. Comcast Corp’s NBCUniversal unit said that it expects that many of the laws will face court challenges, but added, “If any of these laws are upheld, it would strongly impact our decision making on where we produce our content in the future.”
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration has revealed that the thousands of newly hired IRS agents are not working to audit billionaires, as President Biden claimed they would be doing, but rather they are doing what we knew they were hired for. The auditor claims they are targeting average Americans, most likely Americans that oppose their anti-American ideology of hate, fear, and fake hope. The audit stated, “President Biden’s plan to hire a new army of tax collectors is falling flat, and the agents already at work are targeting the middle class.” Excerpt from lidblog.com … The audit prepared by the Treasury Inspector General For Tax Administration is now saying that “President Biden’s plan to hire a new army of tax collectors is falling flat, and the agents already at work are targeting the middle class.” “As of last summer, 63% of new audits targeted taxpayers with income of less than $200,000,” the Wall Street Journal reported. “Only a small overall share reached the very highest earners, while 80% of audits covered filers earning less than $1 million.”
