MOO MOO MOO MOO...



Disney is facing backlash for "Snow White" star Rachel Zegler's comments on President-elect Donald Trump's win in last week's election.


"I find myself speechless in the midst of this," she said in a now-deleted Instagram story after Trump's decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. "I shouldn't be this shocked. but i am. i am heartbroken for my friends who awoke [in] fear this morning. and i am here with you. to cry, to yell, to hug. to wax poetic on how the left continues to fail us in forging a new path forward. this loss should not have been. and it certainly should not have been by so many votes.

"May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace. Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in."


Many social media users slammed Zegler.

"Not taking my kids to see this trash after the statement you put out. Disney you need to do something about this," one social media user wrote, per the Daily Mail.

"I hope you get no peace when this film BOMBS at the box office and streaming," another wrote.


One critic said: "Rachel Zegler is unhinged and a liability. They should permanently shelve Snow White and distance themselves from her. Her involvement with the company alienates millions of people and poisons the brand overall."




 
I don't understand why Trump supporters would be this upset and hateful over the comments of one actress. Have they really got such a thin skins that this bothers them this much? Why do they care? Where are the Christians in the party these days — meaning those who actually take the words of Jesus seriously? Are they all gone? Do those who profess to be Christians in the party not read or not remember the words of Christ? Here's refresher for those who need it:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Matthew 22:36-40 NIV. I'm not seeing any love in the Trump supporters' quotes in that article. All I see is hate. Jesus did not preach an easy message. His message to his followers were challenges. It's easier to hate someone different from you than it is to love them, yet his command is to love them. It's easier to tear someone down than bring them up. It's easier to just think about think about yourself and not those around you. I'd like to see more of those who profess the faith walk the walk instead of just talking the talk.

MATTHEW; Chapter 23; NIV


A Warning Against Hypocrisy


01 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:

02 "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.

03 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.

04 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

05 "Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long;

06 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;

07 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called 'Rabbi' by others.

08 "But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
09 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah.
11 The greatest among you will be your servant.
12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.


Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees
13 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

[14] [b]
{Footnote:}
Some manuscripts include here words similar to Mark 12:40 and Luke 20:47.


15 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

16 "Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.'

17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?

18 You also say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.'

19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.

22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.

23 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

25 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.


26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.

27 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.

28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

29 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous.

30 And you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'

31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.

32 Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!

33 "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.

35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.

37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.

38 Look, your house is left to you desolate.


39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'
