Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday after his show was suspended following comments he made about the death of Charlie Kirk, Disney has said in a statement released in the last few moments.

“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” the statement says.

“It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

    Target was showing its true colors long before getting rid of DEI practices. Like at one point they had a gay pride line that really just felt like grift then some people took offense to it and they put it all on clearance and moved it to a remote corner of the store. This was soon after unveiling it, not after it sat there a while. Its no wonder they acted the way they did. They just saw liberals and progressives as a way to profit. People got tired of the grift with no real championship towards better attitudes and practices to minorities and boycotted them hard.

      Voting with our wallets seems to be the only voting that is actually effective lately. Hopefully, people will continue to vote against these types of business practices.
