‘It’s Complicated’: Disney CEO Bob Iger Won’t Speak Against Communist China

Following in the footsteps of cowardly NBA hypocrites who blast Trump/conservatives but never China with its large number of human rights abuses, Disney CEO Bob Iger has decided to keep his mouth shut about the communist state because not doing so would pose a threat to his Mickey Mouse cash.

Looks like the leader of the House of Mouse isn’t as preoccupied with social justice as he claims to be when he goes after President Donald Trump or pro-life legislation like the Georgia “Heartbeat Bill.”

Bloomberg reported that “Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger said he won’t say anything for or against pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong because doing so could harm his company.” Ol’ moneybags is clearly protecting what’s most sacred to him. On Tuesday night, during The Wall Street Journal’s Tech Live conference, the CEO made it clear that his company only champions the boutique social issues that help his brand’s image.

Iger told reporters, “What we learned in the last week -- we’ve learned how complicated this is.” Complicated, eh? Hmm, where have we heard that before? Iger continued, “The biggest learning from that is that caution is imperative. To take a position that could harm our company in some form would be a big mistake. I just don’t believe it’s something we should engage in in a public manner.”

There it is, straight from the horse’s mouth. Disney’s humanitarian stance is totally dependent on the social status quo of the place where it drags in major revenue. In America, it rails against the tyranny of President Trump’s conservative principles, but won’t bat an eye when the communist state bullies Hong Kong residents or mandates Muslim “re-education” camps.

Iger’s statements follow the recent controversy surrounding the NBA’s deference to China, where the sports organization generates a ton of money. Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted a pro-Hong Kong statement and was rebuked by the Chinese Basketball Association as a result. The CBA threatened to cut broadcasting and advertising rights for the NBA team in China, and league figureheads like NBA coach Steve Kerr, star player Stephen Curry, and legend Lebron James refused to defend Morey or rebuke the Chinese State for obvious abuses.

These men regularly go after President Trump for his policies.

Iger’s hypocrisy on this issue is damning, particularly in his condemnation of President Trump’s lack of a climate change agenda. Bloomberg pointed out that Iger “spoke out when President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate accords because he believes global warming is real and a threat to his business.” Though he seems to have no complaint about China, which “is far and away the world's top CO2 emitter” doubling U.S. emissions in 2017.

Disney also prides itself on...

‘Unacceptable’: Fans, Media Erupt After LeBron James’ Outburst During National Anthem

The NBA was understandably excited to start its season and get away from the China controversy that had embroiled the league over the past couple weeks.

However, even more controversy ensued on Tuesday night and on into Wednesday as video surfaced showing LeBron James walking off the court and screaming while the national anthem played.

Watch:

The internet did not take kindly to James’ ill-timed and disrespectful outburst:

If this was the Chinese anthem @KingJames would have showed the proper respect https://t.co/a5yUyXo1dm

LeBron may truly have zero respect for America. National anthem still going and he walks off and yells “LET’S GO” to the crowd. His behavior the past month is indefensible. pic.twitter.com/Ql0T8a2QC2

Poll Finds 7 in 10 Believe America is Nearing Civil War

“That is a very pessimistic place.”

A new poll conducted by Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service finds that 7 in 10 Americans believe the country is nearing civil war.

The survey found that 67% of Americans think the nation is on the way to such a scenario.

“The majority of Americans believe that we are two-thirds of the way to being on the edge of civil war. That to me is a very pessimistic place,” said Mo Elleithee, the executive director of the Institute.

A clear majority of Americans, 84%, also believe that “behavior that used to be seen as unacceptable is now accepted as normal behavior,” suggesting the 2020 presidential race will be the most uncivil ever.

Last month, radio host Rush Limbaugh said America is in a “cold civil war” because President Trump is on the verge of fully exposing the...

Google and Facebook have now made it possible to find photos of firearms by simply typing a serial number into the search box. Earlier today, the automotive website Jalopnik published a story showing how license plate numbers are evidently scanned using optical character recognition (OCR) on Google images, allowing them to be searchable using text queries. Using the OCR hypothesis, TFB wondered if this image data mining technique might be able to be used to search for firearm serial numbers. Using images posted previously on TFB with serial numbers displayed on firearms, we tested the serial number search technique. As you can see from the results below, firearm serial numbers are in fact part of this apparent large-scale data mining operation by companies like Google and Facebook.

It appears Google, with the help of Facebook, is archiving this information and making it easier to aggregate. In order to further test this theory, I tried a different serial number, this time from a silencer review. Placing the search term in quotes, Google is forced to search for only that specific...
