South Carolina Will No Longer Invest in Disney, Cites Company’s Embrace of Far-Left Activism
The state of South Carolina will no longer be investing in The Walt Disney Company, with the state’s treasurer saying Disney has “abandoned its fiduciary responsibilities to its investors and customers” by embracing far-left activism.
South Carolina State Treasurer Curtis Loftis made the announcement in a press release on Tuesday, saying the state has removed Disney from its approved investment list.
The State Treasurer’s Office portfolio currently contains $105 million dollars of Disney debt instruments that will mature as scheduled and will not be replaced, according to the release.
Loftis said in the announcement: “Disney has abandoned its fiduciary responsibilities to its investors and customers ” by joining far-left activists in “boycotting legal, taxpaying, employment-creating corporations to further Disney’s political agenda.”
While Loftis didn’t mention any corporations by name, Disney recently joined the growing advertising boycott of Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Multi-billion-dollar corporations should not engage in boycotts designed to silence legitimate debate,” Loftis said. “Since America’s founding, freedom of speech has been one of its core principles, and Disney should not engage in nefarious practices aimed at silencing those with less power and money.”
Disney has also sought to nullify the will of Florida voters by fighting to repeal the state’s Parental Rights in Education Law, which prohibits the indoctrination of public school students into radical gender and LGBTQ ideology.
South Carolina’s announcement comes as Disney is looking to put down roots in the state’s northern, more left-wing neighbor. e
Disney said Wednesday it is going to build a residential community in North Carolina under its “Storyliving by Disney” brand. The new neighborhood — named “Asteria” — will be located near Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill.

DON'T LET THE WOMAN FOOL YOU. WOKE CRAP ASIDE, NIKKI IS A RIGHT WINGER ALL THE WAY!
Bruner also mentioned how billionaires are beginning to back Nikki Haley, stating that these individuals “absolutely collude with each other.”
Nikki Haley: Government Shouldn’t Ban Child Sex Changes
Republican presidential primary candidate and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is facing renewed criticism just before Wednesday night’s GOP primary debate because of a June TV interview, where she said the government should not intervene if parents decide to put their children through irreversible, life-altering “transgender” surgery.
“The law should stay out” of matters involving troubled teens who demand sex-related medical treatments because “parents should handle it,” Haley told CBS.
Watch Below:
“What care should be on the table when a 12-year-old child in this country assigned female at birth says, ‘Actually, I feel more comfortable living as a boy.’ What should the law allow the response to be?” CBS asked Haley, to which the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations replied, saying, “I think the law should stay out of it, and I think parents should handle it.”
Social media users quickly took to X/Twitter to express their dismay over Haley’s answer.
“Nikki Haley was just asked on CBS what should be done if a 12 year old decides they want a sex change and she said the law should stay out of it to let parents handle it. This is 1000% disqualifying. The law must intervene when a parent abuses their child,” conservative influencer Robby Starbuck reacted.
“It’s completely disqualifying,” another X/Twitter user wrote in the comment section of Starbuck’s post, echoing his sentiments.
“She is no vote for me,” another reacted. “Chopping off body parts of children, putting them on cancer causing hormones, for feelings, is a line I am not willing to cross.”
“She’s probably getting paid by big pharma,” another X/Twitter user surmised.
“You have to be 18 to get a tattoo and 21 to buy alcohol, but sex change for 12 years is perfectly fine?” another pointed out.
“Anyone supporting child genital mutilation is anti-human,” another declared. “Kids will follow all sorts of trends based on peer pressure, and it’s fine if it means having a weird haircut or clothing. Being sterilized for life is an entirely different thing.”

Nolte: Drug Shortages Hit Record High in Joe Biden’s America
“Drug shortages in [Biden’s America] have hit a record high, and lawmakers warn they could mean life or death for millions of patients,” reports DC News Now.
Why is it in Biden’s America that we always run out of stuff we need most, like prescription drugs, baby formula, and gasoline, but never the junk that is bad for us, like porn, marijuana, public school teachers, FBI agents, CNN contributors, alcohol, Indian casinos, and college?
And why is it that in Biden’s America, we never run out of TVs, and TVs become ridiculously cheaper every year while health care, food, and energy costs explode?
Unless you’ve experienced it, you can’t imagine the horrors associated with a shortage of drugs — and I, of course, don’t mean illegal and deadly drugs like fentanyl. Thanks to His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s open border, there is enough fentanyl in America to kill every American a hundred times over. No, I’m talking about life-saving drugs, prescription drugs that make it possible for good people like my wife to live a fairly normal existence, to enjoy a quality of life impossible without them.

A House committee is investigating what Congress can do to the supply chain to make sure doctors don’t have to keep rationing essential drugs like cancer treatments.
Health experts agree the shortages of hundreds of generic drugs need urgent attention.
But they’re still trying to build consensus on a remedy.
What remedy?
The only remedy is to get the government hell out of the way.
TVs are plentiful and cheaper every year because they are not over-regulated, and the competition is fierce.
If the government treated TVs like it does food and drugs, TVs would always be out of stock and cost $800 a month, thanks to ObamaTVcare.
Drug shortages are what happens when the government focuses on everything but the basics of government, which is looking out for our comfort and safety. Instead of focusing on the basics, the government is obsessed with DEI, providing sex changes, protecting Ukraine’s border, and gas stoves.
Sane Americans would never put up with this. But half the country — Democrats — are insane and honestly believe war, inflation, scarcity, violent crime, allowing mentally ill men to destroy women’s sports, and child mutilation are preferable to mean tweets.
Bottom line: Thanks to Joe Biden’s heartless incompetence and wide open border, life-saving drugs are scarce, and fentanyl from China and Mexico is killing Americans in record numbers.
