Disney+ subscriptions are slowing. Disney CEO Bob Chapek blames slowdowns in the rollouts of new series due to covid. He once again ignores the fact that his organization is a toxic leftwing propaganda outfit that actively discriminates against and therefore alienates half of the country.

It's absurd to claim that covid is the reason for people not ordering things, like streaming subscriptions, online. Ordering things online is the one thing we're allowed to do under the covid regime.

A Wells Fargo analyst has reduced the target price at which he thinks Disney stock is a good value.

Cahall's price target revision was instigated by Disney CEO Bob Chapek's recent speech at a Goldman Sachs conference. Chapek that said Disney Plus subscriber growth will be in the "low single-digit millions" this quarter, a figure that is dramatically different from analyst estimates of 17 million new subscribers for the same time period.

Do you know who "moderated" the Glenn Youngkin/Terry McAuliffe debate earlier this week?

Chuck Todd.

Leftwing partisan and former Democrat congressional staffer Chuck Todd.

Mollie Hemingway thinks that's insane, and wants to know why the Virginia Republicans think it's okay to have an outrageous partisan moderate a debate.

What was he doing as a "moderator" in a political debate on which he is a key Democratic activist? Seriously?

Todd deceptively edited a video of former Trump administration Attorney General William Barr and claimed he said the opposite of what he said. He lied about whether any Republican House members supported the first impeachment of President Trump. They did not, but he claimed one did.

Ignorant of all Founding Fathers' views, he claimed that some Republicans don’t "believe in the Constitution" because they believe rights come from God. He rudely and belligerently pushed for his pet policy of gun control in a wreck of an interview of Rep. Steve Scalise, a House leader who had just been shot by a left-wing activist. An employee of the far-left MSNBC outlet, he blames Fox News, where this reporter is a contributor, for Americans noticing that the media are corrupt and biased.

This is who Virginia Republicans think should moderate a debate?

Todd is also a bitter clinger Russia conspiracy theorist. That theory was secretly bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign, fed to colluding media figures, and weaponized by corrupt intelligence officials.

Todd was one of its most enthusiastic pushers. He said the imaginary collusion was worse than the War of 1812. He claimed to believe the lies were "not a hoax," as President Trump repeatedly claimed. He called the truth about the dirty operation a "conspiracy theory" and brutally disparaged -- to the cheers of adoring media and other Democrats -- Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin for his truthful statements and attempts to push back on the hoax.

He claimed that people were only attempting to hold corrupt bureaucrats accountable for improper surveilling of the Trump campaign in order to "make Donald Trump feel better." He regularly acted as a lickspittle and maidservant to some of the worst actors, such as John Brennan.

My own husband doesn't speak as lovingly to me as Todd does to Russia hoax co-conspirator John Brennan. This is who Virginia Republicans think should moderate a debate?

Poll: Nation divided on Biden's vaccine mandates.

A new poll from The Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds lingering sharp political divides on President Biden's vaccine mandates for employers.

The survey released Wednesday found 51 percent of Americans either strongly or somewhat approve of Biden's mandate for employers with 100 workers or more to require vaccinations or weekly testing, compared to 34 percent who said they either strongly or somewhat disapprove of the mandates. A separate 14 percent had no opinion.

Support for the mandates was largely driven by Democrats, with 77 percent saying they approved of the mandates compared to 11 percent who disapproved.

By contrast, a large majority of Republicans, 62 percent, disapproved of the vaccine mandates compared to 27 percent who approved.

Independents were much more divided on the mandates, with 37 percent supporting the mandates and 35 percent disapproving. A separate 28 percent had no opinion.

Kristi Noem is now being investigated by her state's AG over a meeting she took with a state official after her daughter's real estate license application was rejected.

Less than a day after the Associated Press reported that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem strong-armed the state into giving her daughter a real estate license, the state attorney general she tried to oust is on the case.

"I have been contacted by concerned citizens and legislators," Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg wrote in a Tuesday statement. "I am actively reviewing their concerns and I will be following the steps prescribed in codified law in relation to those questions."

Democratic state lawmakers had raised concerns that Noem had improperly pressured the head of the state’s appraiser program, Sherry Bren, to provide her daughter a license after she was denied one.

Bren was then forced out from the job a week later and was given a $200,000 settlement to rescind an age discrimination complaint, the AP reported. The governor's spokesman said the incident was a political attack and that Noem was helping cut "bureaucratic red tape," though he did not deny the facts of the story.

So much negative attention is now coming at Kristi Noem (and her reported paramour Corey Lewandowski) that many suspect we're witnessing a political operation designed to take out Noem.

I don't care. I want her taken out. I owe her nothing but scornful laughter.
