Laugh and shout!\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But what if Disney\u2019s costumed characters walked out of the magic kingdoms in California and Florida, fanned out across America \u2013 not to entertain \u2013 but to convince the world that fairy tales are real? \u00a0That they are real? \u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bizarre. I know.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yet, that\u2019s exactly what it feels like in America these days. \u00a0As Americans struggle to grapple with the real world, a cast of woke characters with mythical beliefs spout political magic non-stop to try to keep us hermetically sealed inside a world of make-believe. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Pinocchio has become president. \u00a0Dumbo is vice president. \u00a0Tinker Bell is the flitting press secretary who, with the touch of her magic wand, dispenses shiny \u201cspin-psaki\u201d \u2013 a partisan pixie dust designed to make dark policies sparkle. \u00a0And the House has become a congress of political Dwarfs who, as America gets darker, paint the skies with rhetorical fireworks at the behest of Speaker Cruella De Ville who sits back in wicked delight as she rubs her fists and licks her dentures.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And no matter how many people get hurt, suffer, or die because of their Neverland policies, they stretch their mouths to a maniacal grin and sing \u201cHappily Ever After\u201d in bizarre unison because, they say, \u201cit\u2019s a small world, after all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019re stuck in the dark magic of a litany of sick fairy tales:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">John Kerry\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/john-kerry-russia-ukraine-war-climate-change\">muttered<\/a> his hope that the hideous Vladimir Putin would remember climate change once he\u2019s done blowing Ukrainians to bits.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the same time that Putin saber-rattles about nuclear war, the U.S. Army is immersing its soldiers in the Pentagon\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defense.gov\/News\/Releases\/Release\/Article\/2557220\/dod-announces-policy-updates-for-transgender-military-service\/\">Transgender Service Policy<\/a> that, last year, paved the way for transgenders to serve openly in the military. \u00a0The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/army-mandates-pronoun-training-for-all-levels-of-service\/\">training<\/a>, mandatory for all soldiers by Sept. 30, teaches a fairy tale: gender is not a biological reality, but a social construct.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We used to laugh at \u201cDefund the Police\u201d as Neverland stuff. \u00a0But we had no idea that Neverland is exactly where woke city councils, district attorneys, courts, media, and big business live and breathe. It\u2019s a place where injustice to victims creates social justice for the perpetrators; where disorder creates order; and where crime disappears when you handcuff police and legalize crime. \u00a0And where does all the violence and mayhem come from in Neverland? \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/psaki-organized-retail-crime-root-cause-covid-19-pandemic\">COVID<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Young blacks are the biggest killers of other young blacks. \u00a0Smash and grabbers are mostly black. \u00a0Blacks commit violence against Asians, and senselessly resist lawful arrests. \u00a0But say the magic words: \u201csystemic racism,\u201d \u201cmass incarceration,\u201d \u201cwhite privilege,\u201d \u201cpolice brutality,\u201d and \u201cGeorge Floyd\u201d and abracadabra! \u2013 the woke crowd becomes colorblind. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The magic of make-believe is how the debacle in Afghanistan became an \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/08\/31\/biden-to-address-end-of-afghan-war\/\">extraordinary success<\/a>\u201d; \u00a0how, in late 2021, Biden said\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/2021\/09\/18\/biden-admin-says-borders-are-not-open-14000-haitian-migrants-say-otherwise\/\">\u201cour borders are not open\u201d;<\/a> how trans swimmer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/trans-swimmer-lia-thomas-shares-124101452.html\">Lia Thomas<\/a>, who\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailyangle.com\/articles\/lia-thomas-teammate-she-still-is-attracted-to-women\">attracted to women<\/a>, can say \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/03\/03\/transgender-swimmer-lia-thomas-says-i-belong-on-the-womens-team\/\">I\u2019m a woman<\/a>\u201d while dangling his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lia-thomas-teammate-locker-room-definitely-awkward-because-thomas-male-genitalia-exposed\">male privates<\/a> in the women\u2019s locker room; and how, after millions have lost their livelihoods, reputations, and their lives during the pandemic, COVID ends with a thud; and how, after rolling back Trump\u2019s immensely successful policies, Biden says the country\u2019s troubles are all Trump\u2019s fault. \u00a0It\u2019s magic.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Although we never got to interview Tinker Bell while I was at the paper, I did find an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/77a2cpHjAHf1GYq8YYYpsR\">interview<\/a> she did last April on a Disney podcast. \u00a0She\u2019s 5-foot-4 aerialist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoveringthemagickingdom.com\/apps\/blog\/show\/43949146-interview-with-retired-tinker-bell-gina-rock\">Gina Rock<\/a>, daughter of a nuclear physicist who, for 21 years, was Disneyland\u2019s longest-serving Tinker Bell. \u00a0Rock now works at Homeland Security (FEMA).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the interview, it was no surprise to learn that the magic of Tinker Bell\u2019s nightly 20-second flights above the 160-foot Matterhorn would not be possible if she were not fully grounded in reality: \u00a0cables, riggings, ziplines, batteries, vise grips, wind readings, and years of training in acrobatic athleticism.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If historic inflation, out-of-control borders, butchered race relations, partisan bickering, and the frightening rise in big-city murder and mayhem was not enough to awakened us, the tragic invasion in Ukraine screams that it\u2019s far past time for America \u2013 especially the Democrat party \u2013 to stop bending reality to fit political fairy tales. \u00a0Were it not for their magical policies and pathological hatred of everything Trump, we could\u2019ve focused the nation\u2019s precious energy on solving problems in the real world. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWorld leaders do not understand what is happening,\u201d said Olena Gnes, a Ukrainian mother holding her baby in a bomb shelter when Fox\u2019s Neil Cavuto asked her how her children were doing. \u00a0\u201cThey (world leaders) are more like children because what is happening is terrible \u2026 they are killing us! \u2026 please, come and save us!\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For the first couple of days, Olena pleaded on every news program she could as if she were speaking to a world that was suspended in disbelief \u2013 as if what they were seeing on television wasn\u2019t real.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It wasn\u2019t long before she realized that believing that America \u2013 that somebody \u2013 would rush in to give Ukraine what she knew it really needed \u2013 superior military force \u2013 was like believing in a fairy tale. \u00a0For millions of Ukrainians, it was already too late.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Given the response of John Kerry, the Biden administration, and others to Ukraine \u2013 after a few days of shock \u2013 it won\u2019t be long before the same cast of woke characters with mythical beliefs spout political magic non-stop to try to keep us hermetically sealed inside a world of make-believe. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I worked at a Southern California newspaper years ago, we tried to get an interview with the actress who played Tinker Bell at Disneyland in Anaheim. \u00a0We<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1888485,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1366326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1366326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1366326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1366326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1888485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1366326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1366326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1366326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
