Apparently the only way to discipline kids these days is bad thoughts.
Disney bleeds money with every one of these remakes they produce but refuse to learn anything.
And the trans cultists continue to accuse others of doing what they are doing. And there’s video.
Dumbass of the Day
I Grew Up OK
According to the New York Post:
New research out of the US and London shows that shouting at children can be just as harmful to them as sexual or physical abuse.
The study, commissioned by the UK charity Words Matter, was published this month in the journal Child Abuse & Neglect. It calls for childhood verbal abuse (CVA) to be officially recognized as a “form of maltreatment.”
In making this determination, researchers from Wingate University in North Carolina and University College London (UCL) analyzed 149 quantitative and 17 qualitative studies examining CVA.
Study authors found that the definitional themes of abuse included “negative speech volume, tone, and speech content, and their immediate impact.”
The most common perpetrators of CVA are parents, mothers, and teachers, the study found.
Some of the effects of CVA can last throughout a child’s life.
The abuse can create “underlying emotional and psychological repercussions,” which include obesity, increased risks of anger, substance abuse, depression, and self-harm, UCL said in a statement.
Researchers say there needs to be a better way of defining CVA.
Currently, four categories comprise childhood maltreatment: physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect.
Do These Guys EVER Learn?
Disney is doing everything they can to destroy itself.
According to the Post Millennial:
In the new era of soft culture, children will not have to experience the tragic death of Bambi’s mother as Disney announced that the film will be altered for its live-action remake to appease “sensitive” audiences.
The release date for the 1942 Disney classic “Bambi” has not yet been announced, but a producer of the film told Collider that significant changes will be made to the plot to change how the death of Bambi’s mother is portrayed in the movie.
Screenwriter Lindsey Anderson Beer told the publication, “Not to spoil the plot, but there’s a treatment of the dying mom that I think some kids, some parents these days are more sensitive about than they were in the past.”
“And I think that’s one of the reasons that they haven’t shown it to their children,” Beer claimed.
“I do think there is a way to update Bambi and our take on it was did give a little bit more of a scope to it. And I just think that to be able to bring it to life for kids these days in a way that maybe they relate to a little bit more would be of service to the original,” she said.
The changes to Bambi come as Disney has been lambasted by critics for its recent “woke” remakes of live-action films such as “The Little Mermaid” and “Snow White.” Critics took issue with the racial change in the casting of Ariel, while the Snow White remake, which has not yet been released, has replaced the seven dwarves with “magical creatures” of all different genders.
My guess is that Bambi is going to have to father deer and will be non-binary fighting the patriarchy perpetrated by that misogynist Thumper.
There Are a Bunch of Issues Here
According to the Post Millennial:
Criminal charges are now pending against the trans-identified male student who was seen on video violently beating a female student at Hazelbrook Middle School near Portland, Oregon.
Ray Cameron, Director of Washington County Juvenile Department, confirmed in a statement to Reduxx that charges are pending and a petition has been filed in juvenile court against the trans attacker.
“A petition has been filed with the Juvenile Court and the charges are pending. In light of Oregon records law pertaining to juveniles, we are not able to comment further regarding this particular youth,” Cameron said. “The Washington County Juvenile Department remains committed to enhancing community safety and breaking the cycle of delinquency through effective evidence-based intervention practices and holding youth accountable for their behavior.”
The brutal beatdown shows the trans-identified student, a biological male, throwing multiple blows to the female student’s head after he violently grabbed her hair, yanked her back and forth, then knocked her down flat in the school hallway.
I Guess More Rich People are Heading to Florida
According to the New York Post:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her lefty Democratic Socialist comrades aren’t just targeting the 1 percenters anymore.
The New York City congresswoman and her progressive posse are pushing to slam the “top 5%” of New Yorkers with a massive total $15 billion in state income-tax hikes that would hit households making just over $250,000 a year — well below millionaires’ row, an analysis says.
The eye-popping proposed tax increase comes as a new study released Tuesday by Upgraded Points found that New York suffered the largest exodus of wealthy millennials ages 26 to 45 who made more than $200,000 than any other state — a 4.6% reduction, or a net drain, of 27,101 prime-aged taxpaying earners.
That’s more than double the 2.3% loss of affluent millennials in California, according to 2021 tax returns. Among the largest states, Florida had the biggest influx of millennials, a 5.6% jump.
But AOC and the socialist left claim that taxing even lower to mid-six-figure earners is good for New York.
“The vast majority of us have felt the strain of rising prices from the grocery aisle to the housing market,” the AOC-allied Democratic Socialists of America said in a recent Sept. 18 press release. “Meanwhile, the richest New Yorkers have grown their wealth since the pandemic, and it’s past time they pay their fair share.
“Along with real housing solutions, socialists in office have been fighting for full funding of schools, higher-education, and healthcare. We can pay for these public services by raising taxes on the top 5% of New Yorkers,” the statement said.
Then Don’t Fly
According to Fox News:
A new poll shows that a shocking number of French citizens support banning people from flying more than four times in their lives due to climate change.
A poll from research firm Consumer Science and Analytics Institute (CSA) found that 41% of citizens would support such a limit. That number rose to 59% support among 18-24-year-olds. The suggested limit, proposed by engineer Jean-Marc Jancovici, would apply to air travel for business and pleasure.
The poll surveyed 1,010 French residents over the age of 18. It found that support for air travel restrictions was far higher among younger age groups. While a majority opposed the four-flight lifetime maximum, 64% of the respondents said they would be willing to limit their air travel in the near or medium term to combat climate change.
Climate activists across the globe have pushed for wide-ranging restrictions aimed at reducing carbon emissions, from limiting car travel to banning plastic straws.

I Guess There are No More Stores to Rob
According to Fox News:
Burglars have been raiding yachts and houseboats in the Oakland-Alameda Estuary in a surge one resident compared to the pirate movie “Captain Phillips.”
They steal anything of value, then either sink the ships or dump the remnants of plundered boats miles away in the Oakland Harbor or along its shorelines, said Dan Hill, who lives on his boat like many other families in the 800-foot waterway.
Each “attack” can cost the owner thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, Hill said.
Some in the tight-knit boating community have talked of arming themselves as jurisdiction question marks and eroding law enforcement staffing levels complicate the issue.
“It’s probably the most popular boating area in San Francisco Bay,” Hill told Fox News Digital of the Alameda side of the estuary. “The weather’s great. It’s a lovely little place that the people love going to. It’s protected. It’s beautiful.”
But since the summer, he and many other residents believe the homeless encampments in and around Oakland overtook the estuary and wreaked havoc on their daily lives.

What Questions Would You Ask a Candidate?
According to the Post Millennial:
A Texas teacher has been fired after a video emerged on Tiktok in which she appears to be defending pedophilia, according to The Daily Mail.
English teacher Amber Parker can be heard in the 15-second video clip saying to a student, “Stop calling them that …We’re not going to call them that. We’re going to call them MAPs – Minor Attracted Persons. So don’t judge people just because they want to have sex with a five-year-old.”
The incident occurred last week, and Parker was swiftly suspended. However, El Paso’s Independent School District board of trustees has since voted unanimously to fire her.
But not everyone agrees with the board’s decision. Some students are defending Parker saying that her words were taken out of context.
Ryann Ruvalcaba, a student at the school, told Fox17, “She [teacher] was expressing how it was ridiculous how we [society] might not be able to call people pedophiles. That we [society] will probably have to start calling them MAPs because it can be offensive to them [pedophiles]. The class agreed.”
Another person who initially defended Parker was board trustee Daniel Call, who said in a Facebook post that he didn’t think Parker was promoting or normalizing pedophilia, but instead pretending to advocate a position to challenge her students and prepare them to read the book, The Crucible, according to KFOX14.

You Don’t Say
According to Fox News:
Taking puberty-blocking drugs has been shown to cause mental health issues in trans children, according to a recent analysis from the University of Essex.
In re-examining the results of a previous study, the U.K. researchers determined that one-third of the youth with gender dysphoria (GD) experienced a decline in mental health after taking triptorelin.
Sold under the brand name Trelstar, triptorelin is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist that reduces the amount of certain hormones in the body.
The original study, which came from NHS’s Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at Tavistock and University College London Hospitals (UCLH) in 2021, analyzed 44 children between the ages of 12 and 15 who took puberty-blocking drugs.
The children were all deemed “psychologically stable,” but all of them had been classified as having gender dysphoria, with a “high likelihood of extreme psychological distress with ongoing pubertal development,” the study authors wrote in the journal entry discussing the findings.
At the time, the researchers determined that the drugs had no impact on the kids’ mental health over a 36-month follow-up period.
The new analysis of the study, however, determined that 34% of the trans youth experienced a decline in mental health while taking puberty blockers.
At the same time, 37% reported no change in mental health and 29% noticed an improvement.
To determine the extent of mental health changes, the researchers looked at emotional factors (anxiety, depression, social withdrawals and somatic complaints) as well as behavioral signals, such as attention problems and aggressive behaviors, according to the researchers. They also analyzed sleep difficulties.
You Want to Take Moral Advice from These People?
According to Fox News:
Cartels are collectively Mexico’s fifth-largest employer, according to a recent study, and some Republican presidential candidates are ready to take them out with military force.
A mathematical model of the criminal organizations’ recruitments and losses revealed that Mexican cartels collectively employ some 175,000 people, according to a study published in the journal Science. The groups have been blamed for flooding fentanyl into the U.S. Over 200,000 Americans have overdosed and died from synthetic opioids like fentanyl since 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Gov. Ron DeSantis “is fully committed to sending U.S. Special Forces into Mexico to combat the drug cartels, deploying the U.S. military to stop the invasion, and authorizing deadly force against cartel drug smugglers breaking into our country,” a spokesperson for the Florida Republican’s presidential campaign told Fox News.
DeSantis, the only candidate who has served in the military, has also supported the use of drone strikes against the criminal groups. Other candidates, such as former President Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley have similarly said that, if they were elected to the Oval Office, they too would deploy U.S. special forces to combat the cartels.
That’s Why They Are Struggling in the First Place
According to the Post Millennial:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has allocated $25 million to UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism “to support and strengthen local reporting in underserved and historically underrepresented areas across the state,” according to a Wednesday announcement from the university.
Dean of the journalism school at Berkeley, Geeta Anand, stated the reasons for the move and how the school will use the money.
“We’ve got three reasons for taking this on,” she tweeted. “1: we all see the world through the prism of our own lived experiences. So, who our storytellers are matters. If we don’t have a diverse group of people becoming journalists, then we miss stories that matter.”
“This is core to Berkeley Journalism’s mission: removing the economic barriers for journalists who have historically been excluded from the industry. It’s why 1/4 of our new class are 1st-gen college students, and nearly 60 percent are from communities underrepresented in journalism.”
The second reason, according to Anand, is to prevent “corruption and disinformation” from “flood[ing] the zone. “Democracy is in trouble. We need to put journalism to work to protect it,” she wrote. “That’s what this project aims to do by putting talented early career journalists into local news organizations around the state.”
As for the final reason, Anand wrote that it’s time for the government to invest more in journalism as a “public good,” a term that is reminiscent of countries that own the majority or all of its media companies, like the Voice of China conglomerate being funded by the Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party.
“This may re-set the debate about the role of the public sector in journalism,” Anand wrote. “Private philanthropy can only do so much, and billionaire owners aren’t a solution. How states and communities can support journalism as a public good needs to be at the center of our thinking.”
