Actress and producer Leigh-Allyn Baker may have parted ways with Disney‚ but she’s still in the business of creating entertaining content for children — just not the propaganda-saturated‚ indoctrinating kind that has come to characterize Disney and other mainstream brands in recent years.From 2010-2014‚ Baker played Amy Duncan in the popular Disney sitcom “Good Luck Charlie” — a wholesome series about the hilarious shenanigans of a mom‚ her husband‚ and their four kids. An old-school fairy tale with lessons for today.While she’s starred in several films and series since her days at Disney‚ Baker is now embarking on a new journey as a children’s book author. “Children’s entertainment‚ children’s programming‚ and children’s literature is being infiltrated‚” she says. “Venturing into children’s books is necessary in order to keep children innocent.” Her action-packed fantasy book “One Small Little Voice” is a counterstrike against the intentional brainwashing of our children. From a modern perspective‚ the book is antiestablishment in that it takes us back to the traditional princess — feminine and kind‚ yet unapologetically bold and courageous. “A princess’ purpose is to fulfill duties and obligations to people in the kingdom and to set a good example‚” says Baker. “A princess should embody the heart of a servant.” And that’s exactly what protagonist Princess Harmony exudes. She’s the kind of girl who’s “brave and bold” and “[stands] up for truth even though she is afraid.” While Harmony was written to showcase the “bravery and strength of femininity‚” there’s no misandry hidden in the book. As the proud mother of two boys‚ when it comes to the man-hating modern heroine‚ Baker says she’s “so tired of it.” “To lift up one group of people‚ we don’t have to shut down another‚” she says. Brave BooksWhen asked about the inspiration behind Princess Harmony’s character‚ Baker says she was in many ways her own muse. “The story‚ although it is a fantasy about a princess‚ really is my story‚” she says. “During COVID‚ when the world was locked down‚ shut down‚ and held captive by fear‚ I went and spoke out at a school board meeting and seemed to be the only voice in the Hollywood industry that was willing to speak up.” “I knew I was going to be crushed‚ I knew I was going to be silenced‚ I knew I was going to be ostracized‚ I knew I was going to get death threats‚ I knew I was going to be labeled a wack job. Even still‚ I was not going to sit by idly and watch people take over the rights we have over our own bodies‚” she says. After the video of Baker’s message to the school board went viral‚ “more and more parents were emboldened and came together to speak up for truth and stand in front of evil to protect children.” Witnessing how her own voice was powerful enough to rally others in the fight for bodily autonomy was the inspiration behind “One Small Little Voice‚” which she says she feels “called to share” with a world that’s starving for hope. “I want people to know that it takes just one voice to stand up for many‚ and then many will join and be voices of plenty‚” she says. Girl or boy‚ young or old — that’s a message we all could benefit from. As our world darkens and the powers that be aim to strip away our freedoms‚ we need encouraging stories that remind us of the power of our own voices. Even in its most rudimentary forms‚ literature influences and shapes the mind. Books like “One Small Little Voice” leave our children with a legacy of truth and virtue while simultaneously fighting the indoctrination and propaganda that’s poisoned children’s entertainment. “The overarching message of this story is that we all must stand for what is right‚ even if we’re the only one in the room willing to stand‚ and that courage means speaking the truth‚ even though you are afraid‚” says Baker. Can we get a resounding amen to that? “One Small Little Voice” is available for purchase now at bravebooks.us as well as multiple other retailers.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‚ running as an independent candidate for president‚ is poised to kneecap President Joe Biden in critical swing states. The prospect that American voters might exercise their civic right and free will to support someone besides Biden is apparently intolerable to members of the liberal media‚ who have embraced the geriatric Democrat's suggestion that for democracy to survive past November 2024‚ Biden must remain in power. CNN's Erin Burnett is the latest Democratic talking head to paint Kennedy‚ 70‚ as a "spoiler" and his success as an indirect threat to democracy. However‚ Kennedy refused to play her game Monday and turned her scare-mongering on its head. The titular host of "Erin Burnett OutFront" cited recent polling indicating that Kennedy would draw 12% of the Democratic vote in Georgia but only 5% of the Republican vote. "So when you look at it that way‚ how can you say that your campaign is not taking more [votes] from Biden?" asked Burnett. "I don't care one way or the other‚" said Kennedy‚ adding that those who appear keen to vote for him are disenchanted Americans who would otherwise likely not vote at all. After framing Kennedy as a possible "spoiler‚" Burnett asked Kennedy‚ "A moment ago‚ you said you essentially see Trump and Biden as the same. Different issues. Do you really believe that? When people talk about the threat to democracy that Trump poses‚ do you really think that that is equal to Biden?" "I make the argument that President Biden is a much worse threat to democracy‚" responded Kennedy. "And the reason for that is President Biden is the first candidate in history‚ the first president in history that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech‚ to censor his opponent." "I can say that because I just won a case‚ the federal court of appeals‚ now before the Supreme Court‚ shows that [Biden] started censoring not just me — 37 hours after he took the oath of office‚ he was censoring me‚" continued Kennedy. "No president in the country has ever done that." The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments earlier this month concerning whether the Biden administration violated the Constitution when it leaned on social media companies to censor and suppress Americans' protected free speech in the interest of promoting its preferred narratives online. Last year‚ the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a district court's assessment that there was plenty of evidence of a "coordinated campaign" of unprecedented "magnitude orchestrated by federal officials that jeopardized a fundamental aspect of American life." Blaze News previously reported that U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty wrote that the Biden administration "used its power to silence the opposition. Opposition to COVID-19 vaccines; opposition to COVID-19 masking and lockdowns; opposition to the lab-leak theory of COVID-19; opposition to the validity of the 2020 election; opposition to President Biden's policies; statements that the Hunter Biden laptop story was true; and opposition to policies of the government officials in power." The Biden administration has fought ardently to maintain its ability to clamp down on speech it regards as "misinformation" or "harmful." Kennedy has personally been subjected to censorship efforts in recent years. For instance‚ Instagram banned Kennedy in 2021‚ stating he had "repeatedly shar[ed] debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines." In 2022‚ Facebook and Instagram banned Kennedy's Children's Health Defense organization for criticizing the administration's preferred narrative about the supposed safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. Kennedy said in a statement at the time‚ "Facebook is acting here as a surrogate for the Federal government's crusade to silence all criticism of draconian government policies." The independent underscored to Burnett Monday‚ "The greatest threat to democracy is not somebody who questions election returns‚ but a president of the United States who used the power of his office to force the social media companies — Facebook‚ Instagram‚ Twitter — to open up a portal and give access to that portal to the FBI‚ to the CIA‚ to the IRS‚ to CISA‚ to NIH‚ to censor his political critics." RFK Jr says Biden poses a bigger threat than Trump: "Biden is the first president in history that has used federal agencies to censor political speech to censor his opponent. No president has even done that. The greatest threat is not somebody who questions election returns." — (@) Kennedy added that Biden‚ framed as a protector of democracy by Democratic boosters in the media‚ has also refused to grant his political opponent Secret Service protection "for political reasons." Politico reported that Kennedy's campaign is racking up millions in debt to a private security firm because of the Biden administration's refusal to abide by custom and grant Kennedy protection. "[Biden is] weaponizing the federal agencies. Those are really critical threats to democracy‚" said Kennedy. "If you have a government that can silence its opponent‚ it has license for any atrocity." Throughout the remainder of the interview‚ Burnett desperately attempted to blade Kennedy on other issues but proved grossly ineffective. Steve Bannon‚ former Trump strategist and host of the "War Room‚" recently suggested to Russell Brand that "Bobby Kennedy is a dagger at the heart of the Democratic Party. ... And they know this. This is why they're coming down on him so hard." Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

A United States women's national soccer team player has apologized after sharing and liking online content deemed to be offensive.Korbin Albert‚ a 20-year-old from Illinois‚ faced criticism online for sharing a video from a Christian service that showed a person with an intellectual disability giving a speech about stopping their gender transition. The video was characterized in multiple outlets as being content that simply says "feeling transgender" is wrong.The young soccer player was also criticized for what appeared to be a deleted post from 2023‚ in which her family reportedly took turns stating their "pronouns are U.S.A.‚" according to the Athletic.Albert was also lectured online for liking a meme on Instagram‚ which had the caption‚ "God taking time off performing miracles to make sure Megan Rapinoe sprains her ankle in her final ever game."Perhaps the latter was why former U.S. women's player Rapinoe took such great offense‚ calling out Albert and claiming the young woman was hiding behind her religion. Albert also wears Rapinoe's former number 15 for the U.S. women's national team."For people who want to hide behind 'my beliefs' I would just ask one question‚ are you making any type of space safer‚ more inclusive‚ more whole‚ any semblance of better‚ bringing the best out of anyone?" Rapinoe asked on her Instagram account.The now-retired player also claimed that if these outcomes weren't being achieved‚ people are causing children to commit suicide due to their "hate." "Because if you aren’t all you believe in is hate. And Kids are literally killing themselves because of this hate. Wake‚ TF up! Yours Truly‚ #15‚" she continued. "For all my trans homie[s] enduring this horrific treatment day in and day out I see you and hear you and I am WITH YOU‚" she added. Rapinoe later told the Athletic that her words were indeed in response to Albert's social media activity. She also told the outlet that the lives of those who identify as queer are in danger due to online commentary and legislation. She was not specific about any legislation.At least four former teammates of Rapinoe reportedly shared her post in support‚ including Becky Sauerbrunn‚ Lynn Williams‚ Sam Mewis‚ and Kristie Mewis.Seemingly feeling the pressure‚ Albert issued an apology for the simple act of "liking and sharing" social media posts that were "offensive.""I want to sincerely apologize for my actions on social media. Liking and sharing posts that are offensive‚ insensitive and hurtful was immature and disrespectful which was never my intent. I’m really disappointed in myself and am deeply sorry for the hurt that I have caused to my teammates‚ other players‚ fans‚ friends and anyone who was offended.""I truly believe that everyone should feel safe and respected everywhere and on all playing fields. I know my actions have not lived up to that and for that l sincerely apologize. It’s an honor and a privilege to get to play this sport on the world stage and I promise to do better‚" she added. Rapinoe has consistently been a controversial figure with her political and social activism‚ which has included supporting transgender athletes in women's sports and the nonsensical idea of equal pay in sports. Rapinoe has also stated that her social justice advocacy was more important to her than her athletic accomplishments and claimed that her career-ending injury was proof that God does not exist.She retired from professional soccer in 2023. After reposting a video about detransitioning soccer player Korbin Albert received criticism. Meghan Rapinoe is at the helm of cancel culture while Albert gives in and apologizes under pressure.\n#breaking #korbinalbert #USA — (@) Like Blaze News?
