"Bob [Chapek] is the right leader at the right time for The Walt Disney Company, and the Board has full confidence in him and his leadership team." That's what Susan Arnold, chairman of the board, said in June when Chapek was unanimously elected to a three-year term as the Disney CEO. On November 20, Chapek was [...]
Bob Chapek, who was fired as the Disney CEO, certainly made enemies in and out of Disney. But he is not entirely to blame. Much of that goes to his predecessor, and now successor, Bob Iger. Few outside of Disney even heard of Chapek until he made a big splash sticking his nose into politics early [...]
Candace Cameron Bure wants Christmas movies to feature moms, pops and kids, and for this she is being blasted by homosexual activists and Christian bashers in Hollywood. She has been called a "bigot," "rude and hurtful." And apparently she is guilty of the worst sin of them all, for using "tradition as a guise for exclusion." [...]
In December, President Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act, codifying gay marriage. Among the guests invited were Marti Gould Cummings.

When Kathy Hochul succeeded Andrew Cuomo as governor of New York (she was his lieutenant governor), she was asked about the culture of sexual abuse that had arisen under her boss.

A woman nurse in Texas has been ordered by President Biden's Department of Veterans Affairs to assist in performing abortions or she will lose her job. Another woman in Birmingham, England has been arrested for silently praying outside an abortion clinic and may go to prison. The Texan woman sued the VA in December and the [...]
The due process rights of priests have long been a problem, and the latest case to demonstrate this verity proves just how serious the problem is. In August 2019, an accuser came forward charging Fr. Robert Cedolia, a Pittsburgh priest, with sexual abuse in 1998; the alleged victim was 8-years-old at the time. The priest was [...]
December 8 was Trevor Noah's last episode of "The Daily Show." He will go down as one of the most vulgar and bigoted comedians in television history. We went after him many times—including going right to his bosses—and we got him to hit the pause button. But then he would start up again. Here is a [...]
Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who heads the Archdiocese for the Military Services, and in November was elected president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, spoke at a press conference during the bishops' conference in Baltimore.
