The Florida Department of Health placed a 60-day alert on Disney World after several employees were scratched by a cat found to have rabies.

Officials identified a two-mile area around Interstate 4 and Epcot Center Drive in Orange County, Florida, a statement from the department said.

The statement warned that the infected cat “may have infected other animals in the area.”

Disney officials report that the two employees that were scratched are in good health and did not contract the dreaded nervous system affliction.

“We are relieved the two Cast Members received timely treatment and are back to work,” Disney World spokeswoman Erica Ettori said. “We continue to encourage our cast and guests not to engage with wildlife.”

Rabies is a “fatal but preventable viral disease” that can cause paralysis and coma, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

After a scathing report published by the anti-tobacco Truth Initiative organization, Netflix has publicly committed to reducing on-screen smoking.

“Based on estimated viewership of these programs, results suggest that approximately 28 million young people were exposed to tobacco through television and streaming programs in these most popular shows alone,” the group said.

“That exposure is a significant public health concern, because viewing tobacco use in on-screen entertainment media is a critical factor associated with young people starting to smoke.”

In particular, Stranger Things season 2 featured tobacco use in every one of its nine episodes — most of those courtesy of the converted skeptic and delightfully gruff Chief Jim Hopper. In fact, likely due to its setting in a 1980s-era small town, Stranger Things showed more smoking than any other listed show, with hundreds of instances.

Netflix said they will work to cut down on such appearances except “where necessary” and that future programming would feature ratings information on depictions of tobacco use.

“Netflix strongly supports artistic expression,” a Netflix spokesperson told Variety. “We also recognize that smoking is harmful and when portrayed positively on screen can adversely influence young people.”

In 2014, a report by the U.S. Surgeon General estimated that “an R-rating for movies with smoking would avert one million tobacco deaths among today’s children and adolescents.”

EU trade action on Cambodia looms after unsuccessful talks

Brussels is threatening to end preferential terms over poor human rights record.

Cambodia is moving closer to losing its preferential trade terms with the European Union after the bloc’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said on Friday that talks with Cambodian leader Hun Sen failed to assuage the EU’s human rights concerns.

Speaking at the close of the Asia-Europe Summit in Brussels, Mogherini said she had met with Hun Sen on Thursday evening and had raised Europe’s worries about the rapid deterioration of human rights in the Southeast Asian nation, including a steady erosion of the main opposition party.

“There is a lot of concern in Europe and not only in Europe about the dissolution in November last year of the main opposition party and in general terms the narrowed democratic space,” she said. “We discussed this, I cannot say that we found solutions to any of these issues but the European Union approach is always that of engaging and having a dialogue especially when problems arise.”

European Commissioner for Trade Cecilia Malmström is threatening to withdraw Cambodia’s duty-free trading perks, established by the Everything But Arms (EBA) program, unless Phnom Penh makes improvements on human rights. Increased tariffs on exporting to Europe would deal a big blow to key Cambodian industries such as textiles and rice. Some 40 percent of Cambodian exports head to Europe.

Mogherini also said that negotiating teams from the EU and Cambodia would launch talks in the coming days “to go through a long list of issues that we have raised together with our decision of suspending the trade preferences.”

“I am always hopeful that positive change could come,” she said.

Outside the European Council building on Friday, hundreds of Cambodians living in Belgium demonstrated on the street shouting “Hun Sen dictator” and “EU help Cambodia.”

An EU diplomat, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said some member countries had told the EU they would only support a partial stripping of Cambodia’s preferential access to the EU market under Everything But Arms. One idea put forward by France is to cancel tariff-free market access for sugar only.

The European Union has been under pressure from human rights groups to remove Cambodia’s EBA preferences for a decade, ever since the trade status helped Hun Sen’s long-time associate Ly Yong Phat become a sugar baron, kicking thousands of farmers off their land and then hiring their children as low-paid underage laborers on sugarcane plantations.

Last week, Cambodia released a statement calling the EU’s trade threat “an extreme injustice” and accused Brussels of a “lack of transparency” in reaching its “prejudicial decision” on the country’s rights record.

The Commission is also in the process of sending an emergency mission to Myanmar to investigate human rights violations against the Rohingya Muslim minority, the results of which could also result in Myanmar losing its EBA access to the EU market.

Conservatives endorse Czech MEP for Commission top job

Jan Zahradil calls for ‘genuine EU reform.’

STRASBOURG — The European Conservatives and Reformists endorsed Czech MEP Jan Zahradil as their nominee for Commission president on Tuesday, vowing to remain the major Euro-critical voice in the Parliament.

“We have always been serious about a genuine EU reform,” Zahradil told POLITICO, a few hours before he announced his candidacy on the margins of a parliamentary session in Strasbourg. “It is, therefore, a serious offer to present our candidate for European Commission president.”

The announcement makes Zahradil the first Eastern European Spitzenkandidat, or lead candidate, to ever be nominated by a political group.

Becoming Commission president will prove difficult for Zahradil, however, as the ECR — now the third largest force in the chamber — will lose its 19 British Conservative MEPs on Brexit day.

On Tuesday, he said he wanted the ECR to “at least remain the third largest group” in Parliament.

Zahradil said he had run as a Spitzenkandidat so he wouldn’t lose “one very important opportunity to communicate our program, principles and plans to the public.” However, he added that “it is the Council who selects the candidate for next EC president.”

Members of the Council have resisted the Spitzenkandidat process, arguing they should have a free hand in nominating a Commission president. The EU treaties specify that the Council should propose a Commission president, taking into account the European Parliament election results. The Council’s nominee then needs the approval of a majority in Parliament to take office.

Zahradil said he had doubts that either of the two other candidates in the running for Commission president so far — Manfred Weber of the European People’s Party and Commission First Vice President Frans Timmermans, the contender for the Party of European Socialists — “could bring any fresh ideas.”

It’s time “for someone with different life experience, different perspective and perhaps from different part of the EU to come up,” he said.

The ECR was formed in 2009 after former British Prime Minister David Cameron decided to pull his MEPs out of their alliance with the European People’s Party.

The ECR group says it stands for EU reform, open markets, lower taxes and family values. Its members include Poland’s governing Law and Justice party (PiS), Belgium’s largest party, the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), and the anti-immigrant Finns party.

Zahradil will present an election manifesto on November 28, which will include three priorities: A “great review” of the EU’s body of law, establishing the EU “as the world trade leader,” and “refocusing” EU spending on external border protection “by helping the pressured states.”

But Zahradil will also need to restore the image of a group that has faced internal turmoil.

Earlier this year, two prominent Tory MEPs, Richard Ashworth and Julie Girling, left the group, while PiS MEP Ryszard Czarnecki was removed from his position as a Parliament vice president after he stirred controversy by comparing a fellow Polish MEP to a Nazi collaborator.

More recently, the group’s leader Syed Kamall sparked outrage when he compared socialists to Nazis in a parliamentary sitting in Strasbourg (he later apologized).

A scientist by profession and member of the Civic Democratic Party in the Czech Republic, Zahradil is also the president of the Alliance of Conservatives and Reformists in Europe, the pan-European branch of the ECR. He is also a vice chairman of the influential international trade committee and was the ECR’s group leader in 2011.

Left-wing comedian and actress Sarah Silverman revealed last week that producers fired her from a movie she was set to co-star in after discovering a photo of her in blackface, which stemmed from a comedy sketch in 2007.

Silverman told The Bill Simmons Podcast last week that she lost a role in a movie — which she did not name — after producers discovered a photo of her donning blackface for a sketch on The Sarah Silverman Program. She did not dispute their decision but said she was disheartened because she has “devoted” her life to “making it right.”

“I recently was going to do a movie, a sweet part,” she said on the podcast. “Then, at 11 p.m. the night before, they fired me because they saw a picture of me in blackface from that episode.”

“I didn’t fight it,” Silverman continued. “They hired someone else who is wonderful but who has never stuck their neck out. It was so disheartening. It just made me real, real sad because I really kind of devoted my life to making it right.”

Silverman has expressed regret for the sketch, telling GQ last year that “it makes me feel yucky” and that she is “not that person anymore.”

The Wreck-It Ralph star also said it was “totally racist out of context.”

She told The Bill Simmons Podcast that she “knew there was racism” at the time of the sketch and wanted to “illuminate that in some way in comedy.” However, she “didn’t know that cops were killing black people and unarmed black teenagers on the regular.” It was that narrative, she said, that changed her “forever.”

The controversial sketch focused on Silverman’s character trying to figure out if it was more difficult to be Jewish or black.

“I look like the beautiful Queen Latifah,” she said in the sketch:

Despite the comedian’s status as a liberal, she is concerned by the left’s growing tendency to embrace “canceled culture.”

“I think it’s really scary and it’s a very odd thing that it’s invaded the left primarily and the right will mimic it,” she said.

“It’s like, if you’re not on board, if you say the wrong thing, if you had a tweet once, everyone is, like, throwing the first stone,” Silverman explained. “It’s so odd. It’s a perversion. It’s really, ‘Look how righteous I am and now I’m going to press refresh all day long to see how many likes I get in my righteousness.’”

Actor, rapper, and TV host Nick Cannon called out Silverman earlier this year for her past use of blackface.

Universal’s decision to cancel The Hunt is just one more example of how our entire American culture is geared toward encouraging even more mass-shootings.

Sorry, it is not enough to not publicize their names — sorry, it just isn’t. That’s not what these losers want. What they want, more than anything, is to prove they are not losers, to prove they matter, and if the only way they can accomplish that is through mass murder, so be it.

So what does stupid America do?

Click Here: liverpool mens jersey

Shooting after shooting after shooting we give these monsters win after win after win.

We prove that the monsters do matter, and worse, we inform wannabe mass killers, future mass-killers, those thinking about becoming mass-killers, that they too will matter, because America is guaranteed to freak out.

Politicians, from the president on down, freak out.

The media, desperate for ratings and to score political points against the right, freak out.

Hollywood celebrities on social media, desperate to pretend that they too matter, freak out.

And over a stupid movie called The Hunt, some on the political right, yep, freaked out.

The freak out is the shooter’s goal, y’all…

When these monsters lie in bed fantasizing about what their evil deed can achieve, it is all about the chaos it will cause; how it will command the news cycle, how it will consume social media, how they can cause Americans to give up their speech and gun rights, how this freak out will prove that the loser is not a loser.

We know this, and yet our entire culture continues to run advertisements for the next mass shooter: Yes, you too can be a success, you too can show the world, and all you have to do is write a nonsensical manifesto, pick up a gun, and enter your nearest gun-free zone! Tell him about the prizes, Don…. Ten days of 24/7 news coverage surrounding your manifesto worth $75 million! Our nation’s capitol beset by chaos! Yes, what you did — yes, you! — will be the focal point of social media… And, as an extra special gift, if you act right now, we’re throwing in the additional prize of getting a Hollywood movie canceled!

What are we thinking?

We canceled a movie in response to a couple of mass shooters who committed these mass shootings to prove they had the power to shake up the world.

Let’s assume, which I do not and did not when the news was announced, that The Hunt is exactly what its critics fear most — a left-wing fantasy where urban elites hunt and kill us awful rural, red state, bitter clinging deplorables… The hunters are the heroes doing God’s work because we deplorables are getting what we got coming…

Not for a moment do I believe that’s the case, but let’s assume it is…

So what?

This is the United States of America and in the United States of America you are allowed to make whatever art you want. And you finding yourself and your identity and your political beliefs at the wrong end of artistic freedom doesn’t mean that freedom shouldn’t exist. No one’s forcing you to go see it.

Well, it’s irresponsible to release a movie like this…

Maybe it is. But this is the United States of America and in the United States of America you are allowed to be irresponsible with your art.

Until you reach the tip of my nose, you can swing your fists however much you like in this country and art is no skin off anyone’s nose.

Do we really want to live in a country where we stifle artistic expression because some scumbag might use it as inspiration? Do we really want to give mass-murderers veto power over our art, over what we can and cannot say?

Listen, I’m as at-risk of being killed in a mass shooting as anyone else… But I would rather live with the risks that come with living in a free country than live in a simpering country in a constant crouch because if I say what I want to say or make the art that I want to make somebody might do something.

That’s no way to live.

Besides, you are much more likely to be killed by someone else’s car than someone else’s gun. So if your goal truly is the saving of human life, you’d be calling for a ban on automobiles long before you joined the mindless mob targeting guns and movies.

And shame on Universal Studios…

Shame on Universal forever…

Obviously, Universal is not worried about The Hunt inspiring mass shootings. If the studio was, they never would have poured millions of dollars into gearing up the publicity campaign (the production company is Blumhouse).

No, what Universal is caving to is THE MOB… The studio is caving to the cry-bullies on Twitter, the cry-bullies in the entertainment media, and the cry-bullies on cable news… They are tossing out a piece of art hundreds of people sweated blood to conjure, and doing so only because a handful of un-American virtue signalers terrorized them with shame, and did so for no good reason other than to prove they could.

Yes, I defended Sony’s decision to kill The Interview back in 2014. That was a completely different dynamic. Sony was under attack by a foreign government. It is not Sony’s job to fight a foreign power. That job goes to the government, which failed miserably.

Remember: it is the government’s number one priority to protect our rights and if a movie company cannot release a film safely in America, that is the failure of the government, not the movie company, and certainly not the art that company produced.

What we have with Universal Studios, though, is nothing like that. These squealing little studio gerbils not only surrendered their own rights, they added yet one more incentive, one more win, one more reason for why the next mass shooter will matter.

Who’ll succeed ‘Super Mario’ at the ECB

Too hawkish, too dovish, too German or too French — it’s complicated filling the big job in Frankfurt.

The European Central Bank is caught up in the EU’s game of musical chairs, and bank governors from France, Germany, Finland and the Netherlands are dancing.

The music could stop on Sunday, when EU leaders gather in Brussels for more talks over the bloc’s top jobs. The presidencies of the European Commission, Parliament, Council are all up for grabs and, for the first time, the ECB is in play at the same time, with Mario Draghi due to depart at the end of October.

No one found a seat in the first round at a summit meeting last week, when EU  leaders failed to agree on a boss for the Commission, the bloc’s executive arm.

The ECB presidency could now become part of a package deal between Germany and France. So, who are the players?

Jens Weidmann 🇩🇪

Chancellor Angela Merkel is keen to promote Germany’s central bank chief, Jens Weidmann, to the ECB, if her fellow German conservative Manfred Weber fails to secure the Commission job.

Leader of the Bundesbank for the past eight years, Weidmann is respected among market-watchers for his direct communication style.

Click Here: liverpool mens jersey

But southern EU governments oppose him after his battle against the easy-money programs that Draghi introduced to stave off financial crises during the Italian’s eight-year reign.

Weidmann voted against Draghi’s plan to buy bonds from eurozone governments facing difficulty obtaining loans. He went so far as to argue in a German court against the legality of the so-called Outright Monetary Transactions. Though OMTs were never used, policymakers and market analysts hailed the initiative for calming markets and helping save the euro.

Now 51-year-old Weidmann has changed his tune on the controversial program — perhaps too late for Berlin to win the support needed.

François Villeroy de Galhau 🇫🇷

French President Emmanuel Macron is also keen to promote his own central bank governor, François Villeroy de Galhau, for the Frankfurt position.

The 60-year-old has been in charge of the Banque de France since November 2015. Markets would see the installation of a Frenchman as maintaining continuity with Draghi, given how France and Italy typically line up on the dovish side in favor of economic stimulus.

But France has already had the ECB’s presidency through Jean-Claude Trichet, who preceded Draghi from 2003 to 2011. Securing the ECB for a second time would fall foul of an unwritten rule that all eurozone countries should get a turn.

Klaas Knot 🇳🇱

That code also works against the Dutch government, which has been campaigning for its own central banker, Klaas Knot. The Netherlands had the first ECB president, with Wim Duisenberg preceding Trichet.

Knot, who’s 52, carries a reputation for being sufficiently hawkish — ready to swoop upon any sign of excess inflation — to win over northern countries, although he has supported some of Draghi’s easy-money moves. He would have the advantage of not being German.

But that’s how Duisenberg got the first turn at the big job in Frankfurt, from 1998 to 2003. Knot could also be ruled out of a package if Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte is slotted into the Council presidency or some other top post.

Olli Rehn and Erkki Liikanen 🇫🇮

Finland offers another version of the Dutch compromise: a northern, prudent corrective after Draghi and Trichet — but not German.

The Finns haven’t had a turn at the ECB and also seem clear of entanglement with other jobs, unless Alexander Stubb is revived as a Commission candidate.

It’s such a tempting scenario that the country has two candidates. The sitting central-bank governor, Olli Rehn, as well as his predecessor Erkki Liikanen are angling for the chair. Both are former commissioners in Brussels, too.

Rehn, 57, has been a member of the central bank for two and a half years. A year ago, he was promoted to the top spot — succeeding Liikanen, 68, who’d held the governorship for consecutive seven-year terms.

The succession somewhat followed a pattern from the EU executive body, where Rehn worked on Liikanen’s staff before replacing him as commissioner. The Brussels experience gives both a welter of connections beyond the financial world, into the political realm.

Benoît Cœuré 🇫🇷

France also boasts a second candidate, and one preferred by many market-watchers, in Benoît Cœuré.

The 50-year-old is already on the ECB executive board, closely allied with Draghi, and makes no secret of his desire to move into the presidency.

But Cœuré’s current position, which ends on December 31, complicates his candidacy. Executive board members are legally limited to a single eight-year term, making it hard to fudge a presidential appointment for him.

Ardo Hansson 🇪🇪

Other governors including Estonia’s recently retired Ardo Hansson have also been tipped as possible contenders.

People close to Hansson — who turns 61 in mid-July — have rejected those rumors, saying he has little interest in the job. Still, a move to Frankfurt could help find a so-far rare top role for an official from the Eastern European countries that joined since 2004.

But the contest for the ECB presidency could still throw up surprises as EU leaders seek a geographical and political balance in the unusually large matrix of top jobs.

LONDON — There are no plans to deploy the military to secure food and medicines supplies in the event of a no-deal Brexit, Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab said Thursday, as the U.K. government published advice for citizens and businesses to prepare for a breakdown in talks with Brussels.

Calling the documents a “practical and proportionate” approach to the threat of disruption in the event of no deal, Raab sought to debunk what he called “misinformation” about the consequences of no deal, insisting that neither the army nor air force would be called upon and that there would be no “sandwich famine.”

However, he said he recognizes the risks of no deal “in the short-term.”

Advisory documents published today cover 25 different areas, including health and medicines regulation, trade, banking and insurance services, energy, farm payments, university research and tobacco regulations.

Several of the documents raise explicit concerns about higher costs and red tape for business. The notice on trade with the EU acknowledges that traders who have never had to deal with customs declarations before will have to engage a customs broker, acquire new authorizations from the tax authority and buy the appropriate software to manage their new responsibilities, all of which “will come at a cost.”

Individuals could also see the cost of card payments to the EU go up, the documents warn, and these transactions (covering everything from goods purchases from EU firms to Airbnb payments for holiday homes) would no longer be covered by rules that prevent businesses placing surcharges on transactions. But Raab pointed out that the problem of access to bank accounts would apply to EU citizens as well because in the event of no deal “we are not considered, strictly, an EU member state.”

But he said, “I would think that was a practical issue that we should be able to resolve.”

Much of the no-deal planning is based on a unilateral approach, but Raab said he finds it “very hard to imagine” that the EU would not cooperate with the U.K. to minimize disruption.

He said that the U.K. government now has 7,000 people working on Brexit preparations and there is funding in place for another 9,000 people to join the civil service for Brexit-related work. The U.K. Border Force is recruiting an extra 300 staff, he said, with plans “in the pipeline” to recruit a further 1,000 people.

The documents say that a no-deal must not disrupt the terms of the Good Friday Agreement and acknowledge that there would be “very significant challenges” surrounding trade for Northern Ireland in the event of no deal and this represents a “unique and highly sensitive context.”

“The U.K. would stand ready to engage constructively to meet our commitments and act in the best interests of the people of Northern Ireland,” the trade technical notice says, and pledges to “provide more information in due course.”

On medicines regulation, the U.K. would continue to recognize drugs and medical devices approved by the EU, but sharing information on databases on medicines safety would cease in the event of no deal, the documents say. EU laws governing the regulation of tobacco would cease to apply in the U.K., but the government would seek to replicate them. However, every cigarette pack in the U.K. would need to change immediately from exit day, because the health warning photos used on them are copyrighted by the EU.

Raab also claimed that while the U.K. wants a deal, there are some “opportunities” from a no-deal outcome, including regulatory freedom, the ability to set an independent trade policy immediately, and to put in place an independent immigration policy. The U.K. would also be able to cease its payments to the EU budget.

Josh Hardie, deputy director general of the Confederation of British Industry said: “By now, few can be in any doubt that ‘no deal’ would wreak havoc on economies across Europe. These papers show that those who claim crashing out of the EU on World Trade Organisation rules is acceptable live in a world of fantasy, where facts are not allowed to challenge ideology.”

Keir Starmer, Labour’s shadow Brexit secretary said: “We are eight weeks out from the deadline for reaching an agreement. Ministers should be getting on with the job of negotiating a Brexit deal that works for Britain, not publishing vague documents that will convince no one.”

“A no-deal Brexit has never been viable and would represent a complete failure of the Government’s negotiating strategy,” he added.

Dominic Raab said the papers published Thursday represent around a third of the total and he expects the rest to be published in batches before the end of September.

Major Hollywood donors are expecting a strong performance from former Vice President Joe Biden during the second round of Democratic Party presidential debates on Thursday, after being left largely disappointed by the performance of candidates who featured in the first debate on Wednesday including frontrunner Elizabeth Warren.

Deadline reports that following his entry into the race in late April, Joe Biden has consolidated his position as the Hollywood candidate of choice after raising $700,000 at a recent fundraiser, although Elizabeth Warren also remains in contention.

“It’s Joe Biden’s to lose, Elizabeth Warren’s to win and everybody else is to try to get noticed,” one Hollywood donor told the outlet. “Look, this isn’t Democrats Got Talent, but it kind of is. People are watching to see who stands out and who they will be writing checks to.”

However, many Hollywood figures were left disappointed by Warren and all the other candidates who debated on Wednesday evening, placing greater pressure on Biden to perform for Thursday’s second debate that will also feature the likes of Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Bernie Sanders.

“Beto and Mayor Pete peaked early,” another wealthy Hollywood donor told Deadline. “There was an attraction to their newness, but what the base out here need to know is can you beat Trump and are you ready to be President on Day One? Under that criteria, Joe has the deepest support, and a lot more people waiting to step forward for him if he does well on Night 2.”

Last month, Biden delivered a twenty-minute speech at a $2,500 to $10,000 a ticket fundraiser at the home of HBO executive James Costos to convince Hollywood powerbrokers he is the man to take on President Donald Trump in 2020.

“I guarantee you if it’s me, what’s gonna happen is, we’re going to see this country come together like it hasn’t in a long time,” Biden declared. “Because people are tired, they’re sick and tired of what’s happening. Let’s lift our heads up. Again, not a joke, remember who the hell we are. And let’s go take it back!”

Breitbart News Entertainment Editor and bestselling author of 50 Things They Don’t Want You to Know Jerome Hudson is set to deliver a primetime speech on Saturday at Turning Point USA’s Black Leadership Summit.

The annual event is expected to see hundreds of young black conservatives gather in Washington, DC. The three-day event the will feature activism training and speeches from the likes of Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jenean Michelle Hampton, syndicated radio host Larry Elder, conservative firebrand and BLEXIT founder Candace Owens, and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Jerome’s speech come on the heels of his new bestselling book, from Harper Collins, rocketing to number 5 of the Amazon bestsellers list. “Once you’re done reading 50 Things They Don’t Want You to Know, you’ll never trust the powers that be to give you the whole truth again,” HarperCollins said of the book that blows up myths from immigration to health care, education, crime, climate change, Silicon Valley’s tech takeover, race relations, and much more.

Last year, President Donald Trump hosted hundreds of attendees of the the Black Leadership Summit at the White House.

“Each of you represents the future of our nation. You are not afraid to stand up for your beliefs or stand against injustice. You refuse to be told by the same failed voice how to think or what to believe,” President Trump said during his speech.

Earlier this year, Jerome delivered a fiery speech at Owens’ Blexit rally in Richmond, Virginia, where he called out left-wing actor Don Cheadle and the political left attempting to silence and smear Breitbart News. Jerome will host a book signing on Saturday after his speech.
