Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency over 34 human bird flu cases. The far left governor proclaimed that “all residents are to obey the direction of emergency officials with regard to this emergency in order to protect their safety.” Is this COVID all over again?

I have to confess that I don’t spend any amount of time using the app known as “Bluesky,” which is the Left’s alternative to X. And there are a lot of reasons for that. One of them is that, if I started posting on Bluesky, my account would be nuked within about five seconds. It’s an app that doesn’t tolerate any kind of dissent from Left-wing orthodoxy. It’s an echo chamber in the purest form. If you’re not there to commiserate with self-loathing trans activists, or to come up with clever new ways that a special counsel could remove Donald Trump from office, then there’s just not much to do. In other words, it’s what every social media platform on the internet used to be, before Elon Musk got involved. That being said, you can make the case that Bluesky still serves a purpose. It offers the same value proposition that MSNBC provided on election night, which is this: When Left-wingers assemble, and shut out everyone who disagrees with them, then at the very least, the melt-downs can be pretty entertaining. They can also reveal a lot about the Left’s thinking — and what’s going on in the institutions they control. Case in point: If, for some reason, you’ve found yourself on Bluesky lately, then you know that — to the great surprise of Left-wing activists — they’re starting to lose control over one of their most powerful weapons in the culture war and in Hollywood, which is Disney. The big story over on Bluesky recently has been that Disney just pulled an episode of the Marvel animated series “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.” According to leaked footage online, the episode is about a boy who identifies as transgender, and wants to join a girl’s volleyball team. The coach of the team is completely fine with this — either because he’s a really enlightened activist, or because he just wants to win really badly. It’s not clear. But the coach of an opposing team (who looks extremely menacing, and whose name is “Greer”) takes issue with this whole arrangement. As the episode progresses, the boy says lines like, “I’m trans, my very existence breaks Greer’s rules.” He also wears “Pride-themed kneepads” and has a “trans is beautiful” sticker on his water bottle. Other players — including one who identifies as “non-binary” — call Greer “narrow-minded.” Ultimately, the evil coach Greer uses some kind of magical curse to confine the boy and his teammates to the locker room. She basically kidnaps them and puts their lives in danger in the process. At one point a character trapped in the locker room says, “we could literally die.” WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show So this is not exactly a subtle piece of trans activism. It’s a transparent attempt to indoctrinate children into believing that there’s nothing strange at all about a boy playing girl’s volleyball, or the idea that girls can transform into boys. And of course, the episode also intends to demonize any adult who says otherwise. (And by the way, in case you’re curious, I watched some of the footage online. The episode ends with the boy player becoming really frustrated that he’s trapped in the locker room by the evil coach who hates him because he identifies as transgender. So he punches his fists really hard into the floor, and breaks through the ground — revealing that it’s actually an LCD screen. So I guess that, even in fictional cartoon works of trans activism, so-called “trans girls” are prone to uncontrollable, testosterone-fueled outbursts). No part of this production is surprising in any way, coming from Disney. What is surprising is that — at least for now — Disney has pulled the episode. For once, they’ve decided that the indoctrination is just too on-the-nose. And over on Bluesky, someone who worked in the show’s art department — named Derrick Malik Johnson, pronouns “he/him” — posted this message to explain why. It’s not the most grammatical post in the world, but here it is:  With writing skills like that, I’m sure this guy will be hired by Disney to script the next Marvel film. Anyway, officially, Disney has denied that they’ve pulled this episode because of the election, or because people are tired of trans activism posing as children’s entertainment. They’re also suggesting that they’re not influenced in any way by the fact that female volleyball players have been severely injured by “trans-identifying” male players. But more recently, in the context of yet another programming change, Disney has been more forthright about their motivations. They’ve just eliminated a so-called “trans storyline” in an upcoming episode of their animated series “Win or Lose,” which is out early next year on Disney+. As the Hollywood Reporter put it yesterday: Pixar’s original animated series ‘Win or Lose’ will no longer include a transgender storyline in a later episode. … The series follows a co-ed middle school softball team named the Pickles in the week leading up to their championship game. Each of the eight episodes center on the off-the-field life of a character and their point of view, whether it be a player, a parent, a coach or an umpire. Here’s the statement that Disney provided the Hollywood Reporter, to explain the change: When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline. Just a few months ago, a statement like that would’ve been unthinkable, coming from Disney. They were promoting their bold decision to include “non-binary” characters with “they/them” pronouns in films like “Elemental” as recently as last year. They had the same-sex kiss in “Lightyear” and so on. Now they’re coming right out and saying, in effect, that it’s inappropriate to use cartoons to indoctrinate children into trans ideology. Of course that statement doesn’t go nearly far enough. But it’s certainly a start — and it’s another sign, among many that we’ve seen in recent weeks, that we’re seeing a very rapid and profound change in American culture, particularly as it relates to trans activism. But that’s not to say that we’ve won the battle for our culture, particularly in Hollywood. We’re a long way from that victory. And the other day we got a very clear reminder of that fact, when my film “Am I Racist?” — the top documentary film of this year by a mile, and the top documentary film of the decade — was snubbed from Oscar contention in the nonfiction category. We didn’t even make the shortlist of the top 15 films, which they eventually whittle down to the final 5 nominees. As far as snubs go, objectively speaking, this was a pretty big one. Not a surprising one by any means, but still a big one. As Deadline reports: Am I Racist?, the controversial documentary that satirizes Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, failed to make the Oscar shortlist of nonfiction features today, despite earning more money at the box office than any other documentary this year, by far. … It scooped up more than $12 million at the domestic box office, but that wasn’t enough to sway the minds of Academy Documentary Branch members, who determine the shortlist (as well as the eventual five Oscar nominees). Yes, the minds of the “Academy Documentary Branch members” have apparently decided that documentary audiences don’t know anything about documentaries. We might have an audience score on Rotten Tomatoes of above 95%, and we might’ve exceeded box office totals for documentaries going back six or seven years. But in the end, none of that matters. What does matter is what the “Academy Documentary Branch members” think. And these Academy Documentary branch members, according to the Academy, have, “demonstrated exceptional achievement in the field of theatrical motion pictures,” mostly by producing their own documentaries. And they have decided that “Am I Racist?” is not, in fact, an achievement in the field of theatrical motion pictures. Some of these branch members have even produced films that have grossed more than $50,000 internationally, so you know they’re qualified to make that determination. They have their finger on the pulse of audiences everywhere. Screenshot courtesy: DailyWire. So what films did meet the branch members’ high standards this year? It turns out that, to no one’s surprise whatsoever, they rewarded a handful of films that address political issues from a Left-wing perspective. This is from Deadline’s report once again: Films that focus on political questions beyond U.S. borders did get love from the doc branch voters, among them The Bibi Files, Alexis Bloom’s documentary that serves as a brutal takedown of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. … No Other Land, a frontrunner for the Oscars, condemns Israeli government policy in the occupied West Bank. … Union, the documentary directed by Brett Story and Stephen Maing … follows the first successful campaign to unionize an Amazon warehouse operation – a facility located on New York’s Staten Island. Ah yes, who could forget “Union,” the highly compelling documentary? The one that followed that successful campaign to unionize an Amazon warehouse and make your Amazon deliveries slightly more expensive. It was a film that audiences just couldn’t get enough of. After all, it’s a documentary that grossed a whopping $47,000 at the domestic box office, which is more or less what we got with “Am I Racist?,” minus around $12 million. It’s also a movie that no one has said a word about, but who cares? In terms of cultural impact and relevance in the year 2024, you’ve got “Union,” and then — far, far down the list — you’ve got “Am I Racist?”. To be clear, of course, this is an entirely expected outcome. No one here is bent out of shape in shock and horror because the Academy isn’t celebrating us. We didn’t make the movie in order to seek validation from Left-wing activists in Hollywood, and it’s no great surprise that we didn’t get it. But two things can be true at the same time. This snub can be completely predictable and unsurprising, while also being outrageous and totally discrediting for the Academy Awards. If a conservative can make a documentary that crushes every other film in its genre that year and beats every film in its genre in the past six or seven, and yet still not even crack the top 15 by the Academy’s standards, that means that conservatives are simply excluded from having their work recognized by Hollywood. There is no other way to interpret it. Granted, box office totals and audience reception don’t necessarily mean that a film is awards worthy. It would be easy to point out that super hero films always — or at least, until recently always — make billions of dollars and achieve high audience scores. Does that mean “Spider-Man” should win the award for best picture? No, it doesn’t. However, if there was a short list for best picture — if they whittled it down to the top 15 — then yes you would expect the highest grossing film of the year to at least be in the running for consideration. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ More to the point, documentaries are a different animal entirely. It is very easy for a big budget super hero film from a major studio to earn a lot of money. It’s basically guaranteed. On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to create a documentary that makes even $1 million at the box office, let alone $12 million. That is proven by the fact that our film is in the top 35 all-time, among all documentaries that have ever been made, for domestic box office totals. What this means is that, in the non-fiction category, it is very challenging to tell a story and explore an issue in a way that a large audience finds compelling and interesting. That is, after all, the whole point of a documentary. If your documentary doesn’t connect with people, then by definition it cannot be good and should not be in the running to win any award. The performance of our film — both in the theaters and on our platform — proves that we succeeded not just financially but artistically. We explored an issue and told a story in a compelling and interesting way. Which means, yes, at a bare minimum we should be in the running for a nomination. And by all rights we should get the nomination, and win. But none of those things happened, purely because of politics. And whether you want to admit it or not, that does have larger ramifications for our culture. It affects the kinds of films and shows that Hollywood produces. More importantly, it affects what our children see, as well. Disney is relenting, as I mentioned earlier, but only to a point. This is very much an ongoing fight. One thing I’ve learned after getting into filmmaking is that the Left truly believes it owns the art of filmmaking. Any conservative who makes a film is an intruder, a sinister usurper showing up in a place where he doesn’t belong. The truth is that the success of my films — and they are both, easily, the most watched and influential documentaries of the decade — actually makes it less likely that they’ll be recognized by critics or awards. Our success is an affront to them. They hate us for it. They feel personally insulted by it. If this snub tells us anything, it’s that we’re angering all the right people. And unfortunately for the esteemed “Academy Documentary Branch members,” all they’ve accomplished this week is guaranteeing that we’re not going to stop.

Southern California parents blasted their kids’ school after a math teacher at Rancho Buena Vista high school gave his students an LGBTQ assignment in which they were to pick either being gay or lesbian and “coming out.” During a school meeting on Tuesday, parents spoke out at a Vista Unified School District meeting over what was labeled as a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) assignment given to freshman in an elective seminar class that was supposedly to deal with teaching kids how to be socially current, NBC7 San Diego reported. According to photos of the instruction, students were told, “Stand in a circle. Each of you is now gay or lesbian, and you are about to begin your coming out process. You cannot talk for the rest of this activity.” “I don’t see how this is part of the California curriculum for education,” parent James Leon told board members. “There is nothing that it does other than groom children.” UPDATE: A father blasted the Vista Unified School Board for giving his child an assignment which asked kids to act out being LGBTQ and “coming out”pic.twitter.com/IHowNvQgvU https://t.co/iGzuyM6r1b — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) December 18, 2024 “It’s not okay. It’s disgusting and it should not be allowed,” he added. “I don’t think this assignment should ever be taught to any children. It’s does not do anything other than groom them. It should not be allowed. Anybody who teaches this should be fired immediately.” Leon said when his daughter got the assignment, she told him “right away when she got home. She said, ‘Dad, you have to hear this.’ She wanted to show me what was going on because she knows I am not for teaching any of that stuff in school.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Leon’s daughter was one of six kids who walked out of the classroom after being given the instruction. He was joined by others who spoke out about it at the meeting, including a bus driver with the school district. “I am totally disgusted,” a district bus driver said. “I am ashamed I work for the district, and you guys allow this to happen in our schools.” One teacher spoke out in support of the assignment and against the criticism the school has faced after the instructions were shared on social media. “People with no connection to our community or even our state have started to flood RBV social media accounts with additional unfounded accusations and slanderous statements,” the teacher said.

The spending bill up for debate in Congress to fund the government through the end of the year includes a provision that reauthorizes a State Department agency critics say is at the center of a government “censorship scheme.” The bill would reauthorize the State Department’s Global Engagement Center, which was created to counter messaging spread by foreign actors such as violent terrorists abroad, but instead allegedly worked to suppress Americans’ speech. Just last week, GEC was preparing to shut down operations because it had not been reauthorized by Congress. But the more than 1,500-page spending bill would give it at least one more year, leading to widespread criticism from Republicans. The Daily Wire sued the State Department, along with The Federalist and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, over GEC’s relationship with anti-“misinformation” outfits like NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index (GDI). The suit alleges that those outfits were focused on suppressing American conservative media and that GEC’s support of these groups violated the First Amendment. It’s just one unpopular provision in a massive spending bill that appears to be on its last legs. House Speaker Johnson (R-LA) is reportedly already moving on to a “Plan B” after conservative outrage over what’s included in the lengthy resolution. President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance released a joint statement on Wednesday afternoon calling for Republicans to propose a resolution “WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS” that includes disaster relief and support for farmers. The statement specifically called out the legislation’s “sweetheart provisions for government censors.” “If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF,” the statement read. “It is Schumer and Biden who are holding up aid to our farmers and disaster relief.” Johnson, tasked with negotiating the spending bill with a Democrat-controlled Senate, said the provision to fund GEC for another year was the result of compromise. He is opposed to GEC, his office says, and is committed to ending it. “Speaker Johnson has killed multiple efforts to pass a 5-year reauthorization of the GEC during the past year, including as recently as the NDAA last week,” a Johnson spokesman said. A source familiar with the negotiation says Democrats wanted to reauthorize GEC for five years, putting the next fight over its existence in 2029. The proposed provision would give GEC just a one-year lifeline, meaning the next time it would go up for reauthorization there will be unified Republican control of government. Many conservatives on the Hill are furious about giving the controversial agency even those few months. “This CR funds the censorship of conservative speech for the entire first year of the Trump administration,” wrote Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN). “Unacceptable!” Its inclusion also earned the ire of Elon Musk, who used the GEC reauthorization to label the spending bill “a crime.” “The more I learn, the more obvious it becomes that this spending bill is a crime,” Musk wrote on X. “It even includes funding for the worst illegal censorship operation in the entire government (GEC)!!” A statement from President Donald J. Trump and Vice President-Elect JD Vance: The most foolish and inept thing ever done by Congressional Republicans was allowing our country to hit the debt ceiling in 2025. It was a mistake and is now something that must be addressed.… — JD Vance (@JDVance) December 18, 2024 Vivek Ramaswamy, who is set to be Musk’s partner at the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, similarly called out the reauthorization of the “key player in the federal censorship state” in his call for lawmakers to vote against the spending bill. Johnson’s office says their team believes that reauthorizing GEC for one more year could ultimately make the agency easier to kill, which it says is the goal. The State Department had disclosed to Congress, his office says, that it had plans to absorb the function of the GEC into the department’s existing bureaucracy before Trump took office. “This bill ensures the incoming Trump Administration has the maximum ability and authority to determine how to handle the office, its authorities, and funding,” said the Johnson spokesman. In exchange for the one-year reauthorization, Democrats agreed to scrap a new reporting requirement for small businesses that could have led to $10,000 fines and possible jail time for businesses that don’t report details about their ownership to the government, according to CNBC. The government would partially shut down on December 21 if no deal is reached. Musk says that a shutdown is an “infinitely better” option “than passing a horrible bill,” adding that he believes no legislation should pass until Trump takes office. “No bills should be passed Congress until Jan 20, when @realDonaldTrump takes office,” Musk wrote. “None. Zero.”

Former volleyball star Payton McNabb — who was seriously injured by a trans-identifying biologically male opponent in high school — hopes that by speaking out she can aid in preventing further tragedies. In a new documentary titled “Kill Shot: How Payton McNabb Turned Tragedy Into Triumph” — created by the Independent Women’s Forum — filmmakers share what happened to McNabb when she was 17 after a trans-identifying player spiked a volleyball at her head, knocking her unconscious, the New York Post reported. While the other players on her team finished the game, McNabb was rushed to the hospital with a concussion, a neck injury, and two black eyes. “If my story can in any way help prevent this from happening to at least just one woman or girl, then it was all worth it,” McNabb told the outlet about the documentary. “It was 100% avoidable, if only my rights as a female athlete had been more important than a man’s feelings.” “Every single person that fights for truth, people absolutely attack them, but it doesn’t bother me because I know what I’m saying is common sense,” she added. “It’s not about me. I’m in this for women and girls.” Such a special piece that shows how much bigger this story truly is! I’m so blessed and thankful to have a loving family that has stood by me from the very beginning!!! Thank you @iwfeatures ? https://t.co/sYfQnQ0nb9 — Payton McNabb (@paytonmcnabb_) December 18, 2024 McNabb said that the team knew about the trans-identifying biological male on the other school’s team but were worried about speaking out. “We never thought we would ever be put in this position to begin with,” the volleyball player said. “I didn’t know one person who agreed with [a trans player competing against us] on my team, but we didn’t know what to do.” McNabb, who had dreams of playing college softball, ended up being diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury, partial paralysis, a brain bleed, and loss of peripheral vision on her right side, the outlet noted. She also suffers from severe headaches, confusion, and memory loss. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE  “I had the hopes and dreams of playing college softball and I had the opportunities too, but my injury set me back, and it didn’t end up working out,” McNabb said. “I was really depressed.” “I was always at the top of my class. Learning had never been an issue before,” she added. “But I still just can’t comprehend the way that I used to or focus on what I need to learn.” The documentary also includes interviews with those closest to Payton who have never spoken out, including her parents and her sister. Pamela McNabb, her mother, told the Post, “The guilt Payton’s father and I carry is heavy. At the time we weren’t allowed to speak up. We couldn’t say, ‘No, she’s not playing against a boy, it’s dangerous.’” “I would never, ever let her play today if I knew what I know now,” she added. “Pull your kid. Don’t play. It is not worth what has happened to her to happen to anybody else’s child.” Related: ‘I Still Suffer’: High School Volleyball Star Spiked In Face By Trans Player Describes Her Horrific Injuries

The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear South Carolina’s case against Planned Parenthood, which seeks to cut the abortion giant’s Medicaid funding. South Carolina first tried to cut funding for Planned Parenthood in 2018. Governor Henry McMaster, a Republican, issued an executive order directing the state’s Medicaid agency to take abortion providers off its “family planning” services list. State law prohibits Medicaid funds from being used for abortions except in cases where the mother’s life is in danger or in cases of rape or incest. The Medicaid funds Planned Parenthood gets go toward the abortion provider’s other services, such as STD testing. However, McMaster argued that any public money given to Planned Parenthood effectively “results in the subsidy of abortion.” “The State of Carolina has a strong culture and longstanding tradition of protecting and defending the life and liberty of unborn children,” the governor wrote in his order. In response, Planned Parenthood and one of its patients, Julie Edwards, sued South Carolina to keep her Medicaid coverage. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The Supreme Court will take up the state’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling that found federal law lets Medicaid patients choose their providers. South Carolina currently bans abortion around six weeks or when cardiac activity is detected, with exceptions for the life and physical health of the mother, rape and incest up to 12 weeks, and fetal diagnoses dubbed “incompatible” with life. At the time of McMaster’s executive order, abortion was still legal in South Carolina up to 22 weeks. “Taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be used to fund facilities that choose to profit off abortion, and South Carolina is free to use its limited funding to subsidize life-affirming health care,” John Bursch, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing the state’s Medicaid agency, said Wednesday after the Supreme Court decided to take up the case. “Taxpayer dollars should never fund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. In 2018, I issued an executive order to end this practice in South Carolina. I’m confident the U.S. Supreme Court will agree with me that states shouldn’t be forced to subsidize abortions,” McMaster posted on X in response to the court’s decision to hear the case. The case will be argued in the spring. South Carolina’s case is one of several cases on abortion that the Supreme Court has taken up since Roe vs. Wade, the case that legalized abortion nationwide, was overturned in 2022. In June, the court ruled to continue to allow access to the abortion pill, which is used for the majority of abortions.

President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) proposed spending deal to keep the government open, saying that it was a capitulation to what Democrats want and that it needed to be stopped. Trump made the remarks in a statement posted to Truth Social as Elon Musk pressed Republicans to oppose the bill, calling it “one of the worst bills ever written.” “Congress is considering a spending bill that would give sweetheart provisions for government censors and for Liz Cheney,” Trump said. “The bill would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee—which accomplished nothing for the American people and hid security failures that happened that day. This bill would also give Congress a pay increase while many Americans are struggling this Christmas.” The stopgap measure seeks to provide funds through March 14, 2025, and more than $100 billion in disaster aid. It also has provisions geared toward boosting farmers, health care reform, rebuilding Maryland’s devastated Francis Scott Key Bridge, a pay raise for Congress, and more. Trump said that Congressional Republicans made a serious mistake by allowing the debt ceiling to be reached during 2025, after he takes office, and that the issue needed to be dealt with now. “Increasing the debt ceiling is not great but we’d rather do it on Biden’s watch,” he said. “If Democrats won’t cooperate on the debt ceiling now, what makes anyone think they would do it in June during our administration? Let’s have this debate now. And we should pass a streamlined spending bill that doesn’t give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “Republicans want to support our farmers, pay for disaster relief, and set our country up for success in 2025,” he continued. “The only way to do that is with a temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS combined with an increase in the debt ceiling. Anything else is a betrayal of our country.” Trump called on Republicans to get “smart and tough” and learn how to play hardball with Democrats. “If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF,” he added. “It is Schumer and Biden who are holding up aid to our farmers and disaster relief.” He concluded by saying that the chaos happening in D.C. was a direct result of having a weak leader in President Joe Biden.

Sometimes, when we watch Dancing With The Stars, we wonder how the duos don’t fall for each other. Sure, they’re all professionals and are there to play a game, but some don’t look to be faking the chemistry. Dancing is such an intimate expression, and to master these dances, the teams obviously have to spend a lot of time together. It’s inevitable that someone would fall in love, right?  It’s happened before, and it looks like it happened again during DWTS season 33 for Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber. It appears their connection went much deeper than the dance floor. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jenn (@jenntran) Jenn Tran Didn’t Find Love On The Bachelorette, But She Did On “DWTS“ Jenn ended her time on the Bachelorette with fiancé Devin Strader.

US Weekly reported that Jenn and Sasha are dating and very happy to have found each other. The pair only danced on the show for six weeks, but early on, fans noticed there was something between the two. Like the fact that Sasha referred to Jenn as “babe.” Following their shocking elimination after the Halloween episode, Jenn posted a TikTok that raised eyebrows.
