Disney just fired the man who designed the visual identity of the entire MCU.

16 years. $30 billion at the box office. And they replaced him with freelancers.

I’m going to put all of Andy Park’s contributions in the comments so you realize who this man actually is.

It gets worse. This weekend after seeing the video, a veteran criminal defense lawyer (with no cases in this guy’s civil court) wrote this judge an email telling the judge he needed to apologize. The judge responded by accusing the lawyer of making an ex parte communication and ordered him to appear next week under threat of contempt.

I’m a member of the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association “Strike Force,” a group of several lawyers tasked with defending lawyers against judicial overreach at a moment’s notice. We’ll be there to make sure this judge does not try to jail a veteran lawyer just for exercising his First Amendment rights in criticizing an elected judge’s behavior.

RE: Fraud in Minnesota

I’m not sure that most Americans understand that in large swathes of humanity, there is no actual concept of “fraud,” particularly fraud against the government. Instead, there is a belief in the virtue of getting away with what you can to help yourself and your tribe.

I spent a lot of my life in the Middle East and Central Asia, working closely with foreign contractors and foreign governments to provide support to American military operations. As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can’t really count the sheer number of times I was offered bribes to award a contract, or falsify records to do things like create larger (fake) headcounts at places like dining facilities, or to just simply be on the take for future illegal requests.

Of course I had enough sense to never comply with such requests. Moreover, they were never explicitly structured as “bribes”; instead it was usually along the lines of “Here I have these Rolexes as gifts for you and your wife to show our friendship.” (Unfortunately, too many US officers and NCOs succumbed to this siren song and ended up breaking rocks in Leavenworth.)

The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe?

Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe.

Such thought processes are so alien to Americans and much of the West. We are raised on the presumption that our institutions are valid, that the rule of law always prevails, and that integrity is universal. We need these presumptions to have working governments and economies, and without those presumptions—without the mental barrier that causes us not to accept outright fraud—our nation would quickly descend into the economic and social hellscape of countries like…. ummm… you know…. SOMALIA!

So when we import people en masse from cultures that accept bribery and fraud as routine, acceptable ways to advance one’s tribe, we should not be surprised that things like the $8 BILLION fraud schemes of the Somali population in Minnesota happen so easily.

Introducing a fraud-based culture based on tribalism into America is like introducing some sort of lethal virus into a population that has no natural immunity. The virus will spread and grow, unchecked, because it is so alien to the host. Similarly, a culture of fraud is anathema to American thinking, and it must be cut out before it consumes the host.

So when you see and hear patriotic Americans decrying what is happening in Minnesota or elsewhere, and when they seek deportation of the offenders, it is not “racism,” it is not “bigotry,” it is not “xenophobia”; instead, it is preserving the American tradition of responsible institutions and national integrity.

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

I'm glad the villain of the new Toy Story is a child's tablet. I hope the film conveys how screens eat up a child's hobbies, interests, literacy, ability to function socially. I hope it provokes millions of parents to think twice before making the iPad a babysitter.

The man behind the digital ID push is Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle, CBS, CNN, and, soon, TikTok. He wants data centralization and total surveillance. "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly watching & recording everything that's going on." Terrifying.

I’m not gonna lie man. If I was a kid, & my friend used his entire body to shield me from bullets, I’d swear my unfettered loyalty to him for the rest of my days. My house would serve house. My sons would be the best men at his sons’ weddings.

Men can stay up til 2 a.m., wake up at 6, be in debt, broke, alone, and still have faith that one day, everything will work out. It's called being a man.

Micah Parsons’ contract drama isn’t just on Jerry Jones. His agent, David Mulugheta, has a history of dragging out negotiations and using leverage plays that spill into the headlines.

📌 Examples:
– Deshaun Watson: Refused to play, forced a trade, landed the biggest guaranteed deal ever.
– Jalen Ramsey: Demanded a trade, got dealt to the Rams, then signed a record CB contract.
– Jessie Bates: Stalemate for 2 years, tagged, left in free agency.
– Michael Thomas: Training camp holdout, signed then-record WR deal.
– Budda Baker: Trade request + camp drama before guarantees.
– Derwin James: Camp holdout, got record safety contract.
– Tee Higgins: Tagged, requested trade, left Mulugheta after no long-term deal.
– Micah Parsons: Now requesting a trade with stalled talks in Dallas.

This isn’t new. Mulugheta’s playbook is leverage → holdout/trade request → public pressure → eventual record deal.

So when people say “This is Jerry being Jerry”… remember Parsons’ side of the table has its own history.

It was great seeing everyone and spending time with the team from @NFLAcademy APAC. What an impressive group!
I'm certain there will be a LOT of future U.S. college commitments coming to the players in this group.

The English Language has the largest vocabulary. 600,000 words.

Whereas Hebrew only has 10k, Hindi 120k, Arabic 100k, Spanish 150k

This means whatever the human being would want to express, can be expressed most precisely, most poetically, most passionately in english.

Channel 4 just released a documentary exposing the Muslim rape gangs and their accomplices.

This is what real journalism looks like!
