Disney vs. Florida, an Expert’s Take
Sometimes, the news happens to be on some issue where you have direct knowledge. Andrew Esquire over at Legal Mindset is a Florida lawyer who specialized in Special District law and other areas of Florida corporate law – all of which are in the center of the Florida vs. Disney fight. He actually worked with the Celebration, FL district as well as Universal Studios. He has absolutely no patience for woke BS, and he explains how Bob Iger and Disney have massively screwed up, potentially admitting to securities fraud.
Several right-of-center politicians and commentators are outraged over Gov. Ron DeSantis’s latest statement on the war in Ukraine. The hawks accuse the Florida governor of showing American weakness. Trump accuses him of being too vague. Both claim his short statement threatens his electoral chances — a prediction which reveals a severe case of Beltway Brain.

school unions and traditional administrators. I realized, however, that the fight is about much more than union control; it’s about who controls the minds of our children.
