The Florida bill the media dishonestly call “Don’t Say Gay” has been really making mincemeat out of the Walt Disney corporation of late. Ever since CEO Bob Chapek’s initial decision to have the company refrain from strident activism over the legislation meant to protect young public school kids from LGBTQ propaganda, he’s been hounded by the mob and it’s getting worse. Now his pro-gay employees are planning walkouts.

The Center for Security Policy on Monday called for the firing of National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster for “disloyal and subversive behavior.” “If such misconduct is tolerated, Trump voters will have unknowingly elected President McMaster,” the Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney said in the statement.
