Good news, everybody! We're well on our way to making "The Purge" a year-long reality. You know "The Purge" -- the movie franchise in which, for one night a year, all lawlessness is tolerated so that humanity can get it out of their system. It'll take a while to get...

Today, a deranged ANTIFA woman attacked a citizen journalist who was minding his own business on a bus in Philadelphia. Frank Scales (SurgePhilly on social media) shared footage of a liberal woman screaming at him before punching him in the head and pepper spraying him twice. According to Scales, she started yelling at him out of nowhere then resorted to physical violence when she realized that her meltdown was being recorded. Watch for yourself: I was assaulted for my work as a journalist while riding home on a bus in Philadelphia.

While looking out of the window minding my own business, a known ANTIFA agitator sitting directly behind me started yelling at me claiming that I was a rascist and a fascist. I started recording for my own safety when she became aggressive. After I started recording, she lunged at my phone to take it from me. Ian was able to grab the phone and continue recording while she punched me over the head and pepper sprayed me. She temporarily retreated but got back on the bus and approached us again. While I tried to reason with her she pepper sprayed me directly in my face and attempted to attack me again. The bus driver then kicked her off the bus and drove away.

No one does magic quite like Disney. The movies, the theme parks, and the beloved characters are a huge part of millions of people’s lives. When Walt Disney first sketched Mickey Mouse, he never could have dreamed the impact he’d have on the world for generations to come. Diamonique and Marcus Valentine took their 3-year-old, Mali, to see Disney on Ice. They’d just welcomed a baby girl and wanted some special one-on-one time with their little boy. They had no idea his reaction to seeing Mickey Mouse would make him a viral star. Diamonique posted a video on Instagram of Mali seeing Mickey for the first time and crying with excitement because he was so happy to see his “boy.” The moment made Diamonique and Marcus both cry, too. We dare you to keep the tears in. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Diamonique Valentine (@diamoniquevalentine_) Diamonique and Marcus Had No Idea How Emotional Mali Would Be Seeing Mickey Mouse “We were just dancing and having a good time, and next thing we know, our boy is so full of emotions and joy that it brings tears to his eyes, which brought tears to our eyes. We were definitely surprised,” Diamonique told People. After the show ended, Diamonique asked why Mali cried, and he told her, “Because he’s like my buddy.” The little boy wanted a hug from Mickey Mouse that night, but sadly, he didn’t get a chance to meet him. But with more than 11 million views, his reaction video went viral, and Walt Disney reached out to make that dream come true. Days later, Diamonique, Marcus, and Mali went to Walt Disney World to meet the big guy in person. The moment was true Disney magic. “He was overwhelmed in the best way. But he did it. Our boy met Mickey. This all started with one video. Last week he cried because he couldn’t hug “his boy”…today, he met him,” Diamonique shared on Instagram. “Millions watched the moment that led to this. In a world that feels so heavy, this little moment brought so many people light, happy tears, joy, and a reason to smile. Y’all made this happen. The internet showed up & @disney truly delivered the magic. Love yall!” This story’s featured image can be found here.
