While visiting Magic Kingdom, a young boy wasn’t chasing down Disney characters for autographs. He was more interested in real-life heroes.
When he spotted Deputy James McDonel, he ran over and asked for an autograph. Deputy McDonel signed his book and took it a step further by deputizing him on the spot, complete with a junior deputy badge.
The boy’s mom recorded the moment and sent it to us, and we’re proud to share it here.
🚨#BREAKING: Nearly 300 passengers on a Delta Airlines flight were forced to evacuate after an engine fire broke out
📌#Orlando | #Florida
Watch as footage captured by a passenger at Orlando International Airport shows a A330 Airbus Delta Airlines flight from Orlando to Toronto experiencing an engine fire. The incident prompted an emergency evacuation of all 300 passengers on board. Emergency crews quickly responded and were able to extinguish the fire. The cause of the fire is currently unknown, but fortunately, no injuries have been reported at this time.
On April 20, at approximately 1:30 a.m., OPD Crime Center detectives were monitoring the area of Orange Avenue and Central Boulevard when they observed a physical altercation occur outside Thrive Cocktail Lounge & Eatery, located at 13 South Orange Avenue.
During the fight, detectives observed a handgun fall from the suspect’s pants. The suspect picked up the weapon and put it back in his pants. Crime Center immediately alerted nearby officers to respond. As officers were responding, the suspect pulled out the handgun and fired a single round into the air.
Responding officers gave multiple commands for the suspect to drop the weapon. The suspect refused the commands. In response, officers fired their firearms striking the individual.
The suspect was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC), where he was later pronounced deceased.
The suspect had three prior misdemeanor arrests, all drug-related.
The officers involved were not injured and will be on paid administrative leave. As with all officer involved shootings, FDLE will conduct an independent review of the incident, that will be turned over to the State Attorney’s office. Additionally, the Orlando Police Department will conduct its own internal investigation.
The officers did have their body worn cameras on during the incident.
The quick response in this incident is an example of the ongoing efforts to enhance safety in downtown Orlando. Through increased patrols, proactive policing, and citizen-generated calls, OPD has encountered approximately 500 firearms in the area over the past year.
I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza.
But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

SEN. MURPHY: "What do think of Elon Musk, perhaps the President's most visible advisor, doing 2 'Heil Hitler' salutes last night at the President's televised rally?"
Holy CRAP! This Bishop Speaking Before the President’s family is a Hero and REAL Christian:
“The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. May I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those whose children fear their parents will be taken away.”
She deserves a medal.
Republicans are now in power, so they want to take away your free speech.
Here is a Republican congressman calling for a bishop to be deported simply for voicing her free speech.
They don't care about free speech. They care about control.
To be clear, you're calling for a New Jersey-born bishop to be deported because you don't like that she exercised her First Amendment right by delivering a sermon in accordance with her faith imploring Trump to show empathy to people?
