'They Will Be Subject To More Ability To Be Taxed': DeSantis Lays Hammer On Disney

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr On Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) spoke about the new treatment of Disney. Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has taken a major step in leveling the playing field for businesses operating within the state. A bill was passed last year that aimed to address some of the privileges that the Walt Disney Company, a major player in the state's tourism industry, has enjoyed over the years. One of the major concerns was that Disney had tax exemptions and advantages that were not available to its competitors like Universal Studios and Sea World.  However, the bill that was passed gives the state the ability to tax Disney for the benefits it has received in the past, and a board will be put in place to determine the value of the property for tax purposes. This means that Disney will be subject to more ability to be taxed and will no longer be the watchdog of itself. Governor DeSantis has stated that Disney will have to live ...

Lauren Boebert (R-CO) assailed ex-Twitter executives over her shadowban.  Twitter shadow-banned millions of conservatives, including myself! They must be held accountable.

The congresswoman claimed that Twitter staff had placed a 90-day visibility filter on her account that excluded her from top searches, prevented notifications for non-followers, and more. According to Boebert, the suppression of her account was a clear example of election interference and censorship by the big tech platform. She argued that Twitter was acting as an editor, not a publisher, and thus should not have...

JUST IN: Ron DeSantis Mocks Biden's 'Oil' Comment From State Of The Union Address

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) mocks President Biden's "we're going to need oil for at least another decade" comment from last night's State of the Union address. Governor DeSantis of Florida criticized President Biden's comments on oil during his State of the Union address, saying that Biden's policy on American energy production has contributed to inflation and made it more difficult to produce oil in the US.  DeSantis also mentioned that the country still needs traditional energy sources, like oil and gas, for the foreseeable future and that Biden's depletion of the strategic petroleum reserve is concerning.  He argues that the government needs to take some of the money it has and return it to taxpayers to provide relief from inflation, which he says has gone up significantly in the last two years. IMPORTANT POINTS: DeSantis is critical of Biden's energy policies, arguing that they are contribut...

Lauren Boebert: This Is 'The Best Thing I Can Say About' Biden's 2023 State Of The Union Address

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr In a video released to social media, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) ripped President Biden's State of the Union address. Lauren Boebert, a prominent politician, gave her thoughts on President Biden's 2023 State of the Union address.  In her view, the address was lacking in substantive solutions for issues such as illegal immigration, the opioid crisis, and inflation.  She also criticized Biden's attack on American energy producers and claims about Republicans cutting Social Security and Medicare.  Boebert believes that the Democrats' shutdown of businesses, schools, and churches during the COVID-19 pandemic is the real reason for America's recovery, and called for Biden to negotiate with Republicans if he wants to pass any legislation.  Overall, Boebert described the address as a "fail" and expressed hope that Biden's next State of the Union would be his last.

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author...
