We Now Are Living In A Monte Python Sketch

Here's a sketch from Monte Python's The Life of Brian from 1979.

It was recognized for the ridiculousness it actually was. Now, we're living it and the Democrat Party has adopted it as one of their positions. 

One person commented:

In 1979, this was funny because of how unreal it was.

In 2023, this is funny because of how real it has become.

Another person commented:

It's quite scary really. Even in the 90's this sort of thing was so laughable because of how utterly ridiculous it was. Obviously no sane human would ever say such things... and yet here we are, it's being systematically enforced by schools, governments, and corporations. You can literally be fired, or suspended, or arrested in some countries for not playing along with this Monty Python skit!

And, another comment:

Watching this in 2023 and still can't believe how accurate this scene is in describing today's reality. It's like traveling from the present to the past then straight back to the present.

See What's On Your Phone's Google Calendar Today?

If you are weary of the bombardment of LGBTQ stuff (to put it politely) all over the media, news and advertising (Bud Light and Target come immediately to mind), well, it doesn't end there. Take a look at your phone's Calendar.

I noticed on my phone's Calendar app that "LGBTQ+ Pride Month" is listed today as a "holiday" (or observance). 

The calendar on my Android phone is a Google app that comes with the phone.

From Wikipedia:

Google Calendar is a time-management and scheduling calendar service developed by Google. It became available in beta release April 13, 2006, and in general release in July 2009, on the web and as mobile apps for the Android and iOS platforms.

Google took it upon itself to include holidays and observances on their Calendar App, including "LGBTQ+ Pride Month". This may offend some people to a huge extent. 

Supposedly, you can remove such calendared items by following this:

Some have said that cherry-picking what events to remove is not possible and that in order to do so, one has to remove all of them. I'm personally not going to bother. I find it more amusing than annoying.

It seems this is just another move to make the LGBTQ community "mainstream". I don't care what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms, but I do resent being bombarded with the campaign to make deviant behaviors "normal". Is it any wonder why there is now a backlash?

Here We Go Again

 Here we go again.

Marriott International is not a "Johnny come lately" to woke advertising unlike Anheuser-Busch. For the past several years (at least since 2014), some of their ads have been targeting for LGBTQ clients. That's all fine and dandy.

As far as I am concerned, what someone does in their bedroom (or, in this case, hotel room) is their business. But we're seeing a constant bombardment of such advertising focusing on "alternative lifestyles". I, and many others, are tired of seeing it. There seems to be a campaign to make such lifestyles (or behaviors) mainstream. 

This ad popped up on Facebook:

If one approves of such advertising, that's fine. But if one objects to such advertising, that's fine as well. They shouldn't be surprised if they get major flak over it.

Apparently they haven't learned anything from the Bud Light experience. 

Disney "Stepped In Quicksand" In Florida Feud

The feud between the state of Florida and the Walt Disney Company is escalating.

According to one Florida state representative, the company has stepped into quicksand by getting itself involved in opposing the "Parental Rights in Education" law that was recently enacted.

The Epoch Times reported:

As the battle between Florida and Disney escalates following Gov. Ron DeSantis signing the “Parental Rights in Education” bill into law, one Sunshine State lawmaker says Disney “stepped in quicksand and made a drastic unforced error.”

As The Epoch Times reported April 1, DeSantis floated the possibility at a March 31 press conference in Ponte Vedra Beach that lawmakers in the Sunshine State might repeal the 1967 Reedy Creek Improvement Act in response to Disney’s ongoing opposition to the recently signed “Parental Rights in Education” law, dubbed by liberal opponents as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. State Rep. Spencer Roach, a Republican, revealed through social media that lawmakers had already met twice to discuss the idea, saying “if Disney wants to embrace woke ideology, it seems fitting that they should be regulated by Orange County.”

The announcement came as part of the ongoing feud between Disney and the state of Florida since the governor signed the bill into law. Previously silent about the bill until he faced backlash from a minority of Disney’s LGBT employees, Disney CEO Bob Chapek issued a statement on March 11, apologizing to them for not being a “stronger ally.” In a show of action, Chapek also announced Disney would put an immediate stop to all political donations in Florida. In a subsequent demonstration of solidarity, Disney Corporation issued a statement vowing that its new goal was to have “this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts” and to support organizations working to make that happen. DeSantis quickly reminded Disney that Florida “is governed by the interests of the people of the state of Florida—it is not based on the demands of California corporate executives.”

There are rumblings of Disney shareholder discontent over the company's woke actions. One shareholder publicly suggested:

It’s a sentiment shared by DisneyBizJournal.com editor and Disney shareholder Ray Keating.

“Here’s a suggestion for Disney CEO Bob Chapek: Get back to business, that is, excellence in storytelling, and stop wasting shareholders’ money on political crusades that have nothing to do with Disney’s business,” Keating told Fox News Digital. “We all have the right to have our voices heard on issues, but not on the shareholders’ dime.”

Disney Leadership Cowers Before Leftist Radicals

This is something that everyone, especially parents should watch. Pass this on!

From Ben Shapiro/Daily Wire:

At a company-wide meeting with staffers, Disney leadership announced that it is planning to “take action” against Texas for the state’s order to investigate trans medical procedures on children as child abuse. Shapiro weighs in.

Transgender Women Turned Away At Ukraine’s Borders, Have To Fight

The Russia-Ukraine war is causing interesting situations outside of the fight itself.

Many Ukrainians are fleeing the country as refugees to other countries, but some are being stopped at the border and told to go back and fight. Herein lies the problem. 

From The Gateway Pundit:

Meanwhile in the Ukraine…

Ukraine is blocking transgender women (biological males) from fleeing to neighboring countries as refugees.

Last month Ukraine ordered all men ages 18 to 60 to stay behind and fight Russian troops as women and children seek refuge in Poland, Moldova and Romania.

Trans ‘women’ in Ukraine are being turned away by border guards because their passports still identify them as “males.”

According to Ukraine’s martial law, all males must stay and fight.

And, some are being physically checked.

From The Guardian:

“Ukrainian border guards undress you and touch you everywhere,” Judis says. “You can see on their faces they’re wondering ‘what are you?’ like you’re some kind of animal or something.”

By the way, Russia is transphobic.
