Nolte: Disney Under FCC Investigation for Racist and Sexist Hiring Practices

The Disney Grooming Syndicate is angry over the FCC initiating an early license renewal for Disney-owned ABC. “Disney-owned ABC formally asked the Federal Communications Commission [FCC] to renew licenses for its eight broadcast TV stations on Thursday, but not without chastising Chair Brendan Carr for infringing the Constitution,” reports the disgraced far-left Politico. “The Order is inconsistent with a legitimate exercise of investigative authority and is plainly incompatible with the First Amendment,” one of eight Disney-owned TV stations complained.

 “Worse, the Order opens the door to an assault on the Station’s license, while the Commission searches for a legal pretext to achieve its desired goal. This effort to suppress speech under the guise of bureaucratic process must not prevail.” “The Order” refers to the FCC initiating the early license renewal. Yeah, about that… FCC Chair Brendan Carr immediately responded in an X post, making it clear that the early renewal is not for “no reason,” but due to a year-long investigation into Disney’s alleged racist and sexist employment practices. 

 “The FCC has been investigating Disney for over a year now after reports surfaced alleging that it had been discriminating against people based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics in violation of federal nondiscrimination laws,” Carr wrote. He added that the “allegations include concerns about Disney hiring, promoting, compensating, and providing or denying workplace opportunities based on protected characteristics.” Carr explained that Disney’s “responses to the agency’s investigation had been disingenuous, deficient, and improper.”

The SPLC indictment: Why it’s the Al Capone case of our time

 When federal prosecutors finally brought down Al Capone, it wasn’t for murder, extortion, racketeering, or the violence that defined his criminal empire. It was for tax evasion. The charge was real. The conviction was legitimate. But no serious student of history believes tax evasion told the whole story of Capone’s criminal empire. It was simply the charge prosecutors believed they could most readily prove.

Today, the Southern Poverty Law Center stands federally indicted on charges involving bank fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering.

Those charges are serious. But for those familiar with the SPLC’s destructive path, the indictment is just the tip of the iceberg of what appears to have been a much broader system of coordinated influence and institutional coercion.

First, I want to commend the FBI and the Department of Justice for their investigation and indictment. I am sure there are some here today who spent time with the FBI during this investigation. I spent considerable time with them explaining SPLC’s work and how their influence in the financial world impacted us as a Christian nonprofit. 

With the indictment of SPLC, which has been the Left’s vanguard in their attack on conservative organizations who stood in their way, cowardly corporate figures who kowtowed to SPLC are starting to talk. So, we are learning more.

But there are several realities we need to understand.

Recognizing that traditional hate organizations like the Ku Klux Klan were drying up, the SPLC adjusted its business model by appointing itself as the national arbiter of “hate.” Leveraging its storied reputation from the civil rights era, it expanded its targets far beyond violent extremist groups.

The first reality we need to understand is this: although the indictment focused on SPLC’s money-raising scheme, SPLC's real focus was its institutional influence on government, media, and corporate America.

Marxist influencer Hasan Piker, CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin subpoenaed over activist convoy to Cuba

 Marxist political commentator Hasan Piker and activist CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin are facing federal scrutiny after officials launched an investigation into a March activist convoy to Cuba that might have violated U.S. sanctions laws.

The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued subpoenas to Piker and Benjamin, Fox News Digital reported. The administrative subpoenas are seeking financial and logistical information, as well as communications records tied to the "Nuestra América Convoy," or "Our America Convoy.”

According to its website, the Nuestra América Convoy planned to converge in Havana on March 21 to deliver supplies to the Cuban people. The convoy reportedly included hundreds of delegates representing dozens of countries and organizations, along with a network of communist activists and sympathizers.

The investigation reportedly involves up to 40 U.S. citizens, with additional subpoenas expected.

Piker, a political streamer on Twitch and nephew of left-leaning political commentator and former MSNBC host Cenk Uygur, who's also co-creator of The Young Turks, announced in a March 10 Instagram post that he planned to join the convoy. During a Sunday livestream, he addressed the investigation and told viewers the development was “not great.”

Marco Rubio sends historic message to Cuban people

 In a historic speech broadcast this Wednesday, the date on which the exile and much of the diaspora commemorate Cuba's Independence Day, the Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, addressed a forceful message directly to the people of the island nation.

Through a video broadcast on his official social networks, the top diplomat outlined the current administration's vision for the Caribbean nation, promising direct support to citizens and openly challenging the monopoly of the communist regime.

For the Christian community in Latin America, the crisis on the island has been a cause for constant prayer and deep concern. Endless power outages, severe food shortages and repression have hit families hard, including thousands of Evangelical and Catholic believers.

In this difficult scenario, the words of the secretary of state open a new scenario that contemplates a compassionate, supportive and direct intervention toward those most in need.

Louisiana empowers churches to forcibly remove service protesters

 Louisiana has passed two laws aimed at stopping people from disrupting church services, months after protesters made national headlines by disrupting a Minnesota church service in opposition to one of its pastors serving as a federal immigration enforcement agent.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry signed House Bill 294, which helps empower churches to remove trespassers from their property, and House Bill 68, which expands the legal definition of disturbing the peace to include disrupting worship services.

HB 294 states that any religious leader,  security team member "or person who is lawfully on the premises of a church or other place of worship" can request a trespasser or disruptive individual to leave the premises. If those requests are not granted, the law gives people lawfully present at the facility the right to use "reasonable and apparently necessary force" to remove the trespasser from the property. 

“In Louisiana, we are committed to maintaining the right to worship without interference, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding religious liberty,” Landry said in a statement Monday. “With the signing of these two bills, those protections just became stronger.”

Democratic Rep. Edmond Jordan was among the critics of HB 294, telling the bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Gabe Firment, earlier this year that he believed the bill could be used to advance discrimination.

“If somebody of the opposite race comes into the church and a member of the church is offended by that, and says that they are trespassing — they’re not being disruptive — but they determine that they’re trespassing and they ask them to leave, now they’re just there to worship, you don’t see your bill opening that up?” Jordan asked Firment.

Iran allegedly behind Canada attacks on US consulate, synagogue

One of the allegations made in the criminal complaint against Kataib Hezbollah senior official Mohammad Bagher Saad Dawood al-Saadi, following the US Department of Justice announcement of his arrest on Friday, was that Iranian proxies may have been behind at least two March shooting attacks in Toronto. 

 In the complaint, Saadi, working on behalf of the Islamic Regime proxy, told an undercover law enforcement officer that his "people" were behind two attacks in Canada, against a consulate and synagogue.

Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen appeals to European Court of Human Rights after guilty verdict over Bible pamphlet

 Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen announced Thursday that she is appealing to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) after the Supreme Court of Finland found her guilty of hate speech in March for a 22-year-old pamphlet condemning homosexuality.

"The failure of the Finnish Supreme Court to uphold freedom of speech has set a dangerous precedent in my country and across Europe. I feel it is my duty to appeal this decision, to reinstate respect for the basic human right that all are free to peacefully express their views in the public square," Räsänen said, according to a press release from the nonprofit legal group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International.

Räsänen, who led Finland's Christian Democratic Party from 2004 to 2015 and served as the country's interior minister from 2011 to 2015, was convicted on March 26 in a slim 3-2 ruling against her under Chapter 11 of the Finnish Penal Code, which deals with "agitation against a minority group."

The high court ruled that because Räsänen's pamphlet from 2004 argued that homosexuality is intrinsically disordered, it could be seen to "insult homosexuals as a group on the basis of their sexual orientation."

Räsänen was ordered to pay a fine of €1,800 (about $2,080), and the court ordered the destruction of all physical and digital copies of the pamphlet, which was titled "Male and Female He Created Them: Homosexual relationships challenge the Christian concept of humanity."

Bishop Juhana Pohjola of the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland, who published the pamphlet with Räsänen more than 20 years ago, was also found guilty because of the decades-old pamphlet.

The pamphlet was initially discovered during a separate police investigation that began in 2019 in response to criminal complaints Räsänen faced for her tweet that year that cited Romans 1:24–27 to rebuke the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland for promoting LGBT pride events.

The grandmother of 12 was consequently dragged into court multiple times over six years and acquitted twice by lower courts. The Finnish Supreme Court acquitted Räsänen on the initial tweet that launched her ordeal, ruling she was not guilty of hate speech because the tweet justified her view by citing a biblical text.

Räsänen's appeal to the ECHR comes as her case has drawn high-profile attention and free speech concerns throughout the world, including from the U.S. State Department.

"I know I am not alone in facing unjust persecution under 'hate speech' laws that make sharing Christian beliefs a criminal offense," Räsänen said. "I make my appeal in the hope that the European Court of Human Rights will recognize that peacefully expressing one's beliefs is never a crime, and ensure that this basic freedom is protected for all."

Räsänen has been using her situation to warn about the encroaching threats to free speech in the Western world under the guise of tolerance. During a recent interview with The Christian Post, she framed her guilty verdict as an example of an attempt by those in power to chill the speech of other Christians who might speak out against sexual immorality.

'Religious discrimination': Greg Abbott threatens to pull state funding from Texas city over Islamic event

 Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is threatening to pull over $500,000 in state funding from a Dallas suburb if it moves forward with a private, Muslim-centric event next month that will require a “modest” dress code, including “burkinis” for women.

The third-annual DFW Eid Celebration, set for June 1 at Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Grand Prairie, a suburb of Dallas, will require both male and female attendees to adhere to a dress code and other rules, including “respectful behavior such as maintaining personal space and lowering the gaze.”

In addition to providing halal cuisine — food that is allowed under Islamic law — a flyer for the DFW Eid Celebration also promises a private prayer room and a “respectful environment” for attendees to mark the Islamic holiday.

The “What to Wear” section of the event website features suggestions for “stylish water outfit inspiration” with links to several Islamic-style bathing suits — including burkini outfits with full head and leg coverings — on websites like Amazon and Temu.
