Shortly after the presidential election, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders released a scathing statement blaming the Jewish state for Trump’s victory. No wonder radical Democrat Congressmuslims Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and other members of the ‘Jihad Squad’ are among  Sanders’ biggest supporters.

Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has reportedly had it with the United States and has already moved into a home in rural England with her wife Portia De Rossi following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. Sources with knowledge told The Wrap that the 66-year-old comedian/actress and Rossi purchased the home in South West England — two hours outside of London — before voters in America went to the polls and voted to send Trump back to the White House. An insider reportedly told TMZ that the main reason for the move was because of Trump’s victory against Vice President Kamala Harris. The two were reportedly “very disillusioned” with Trump winning, and immediately decided “to get the hell out,” a source told the outlet. Multiple reports also claimed that DeGeneres planned to put up their sprawling estate in Montecito, California, that she bought in 2019, the outlet noted. During the election, the actress put her support behind Harris and reportedly donated $3,300 to her campaign, Page Six reported. “There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!” DeGeneres wrote on Instagram. “I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president.” HUGE LOSS: Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have moved to the U.K. and intend to stay there permanently following Donald Trump’s election as president. pic.twitter.com/N1xVG4gyuy — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) November 20, 2024 Earlier this year, the former host of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” announced that she was walking away from show business with her final stand-up comedy special for Netflix, “Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ During the special, DeGeneres laughed off the idea that she was ever mean after being canceled due to “toxic” workplace claims on her talk show after 19 seasons. A Buzzfeed report published in 2020 about “The Ellen Show” claimed it was a “toxic” workplace — full of intimidation and even alleged sexual abuse. “Alright, let me catch you up on what’s been going on with me since you last saw me,” DeGeneres said in the special. “I got chickens. … Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business for being mean.” At one point, she talked about how this was her second ousting from show business, the first being in 1997 when she came out as a lesbian. “Kicked me out before because I told them I was gay. No gay people in show business. They kick you out. Can’t be gay and be in show business,” Ellen joked. “Eventually they’re going to kick me out a third time for being old — mean, old, and gay, the triple crown.” Near the end of the hour-plus special, DeGeneres looped back around again to being labeled mean and said that she’d “spent an entire lifetime trying to make people happy. And I’ve cared far too much what other people think of me.” “So after a lifetime of caring, I just can’t anymore. So, I don’t,” DeGeneres said. “I have a choice of people remembering me as someone who is mean or someone who is beloved … beloved, I chose that.” DeGeneres closed the show by saying, “I’m so glad I got to say goodbye on my terms.”

In anticipation of the screen adaptation of the 2003 Broadway hit Wicked, it seems everyone is getting witchy. Wicked is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz and tells the origin story of Elphaba and Glinda. Of course, we’ve always known them as adults and the role they played in Dorothy Gale’s adventure in The Wizard of Oz. While they were off to see the wizard, the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Lion traveled along the yellow brick road singing cheerful tunes. They accompanied Dorothy to the Emerald City singing happy songs. Kelly Clarkson performed her version of If I Only Had a Brain from The Wizard of Oz during a recent Kellyoke segment, and it took on a whole new vibe. The dark lighting, deep vocal tone, and slowed-down tempo made for a chilling rendition. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Kelly Clarkson Show (@kellyclarksonshow) Fans Loved Kelly Clarkson’s Take On “The Wizard Of Oz” Classic. There’s no question Kelly has an incredible talent, and we love it when she takes the mic to show off her vocal chops. Kelly Clarkson’s musical stylings never let the crowd down, whether it’s her music or a hot take on a classic. The Kelly Clarkson Show shared a video of her Wizard of Oz reboot, and fans thought she absolutely slayed. Several people thought it sounded like a James Bond song. Like this person, “Made a ‘wizard of oz’ song to a Bond song that’s impressive,” “Kelly on Broadway WHEN. Kelly on James Bond soundtrack WHEN. Kelly on EVERYTHING WHEN,” a fan agreed. This person felt Idol vibes. “Just won ‘American Idol’ again.” Maybe this means something new is on the horizon. This fan hopes so, “This was SO GOOD . We’re gonna need Kelly to just go ahead and do another dark and moody album soon…kthanx.” We never knew the Wizard of Oz could be so moody, but put Kelly Clarkson in charge, and suddenly, we want to take a walk down the yellow brick road.

A kind woman went to the shelter for a kitten and came home with a little guy who believes he can conquer the world. DavieNikkiNikki, an animal rescuer and fosterer, came across a tiny kitten needing rescue at the municipal shelter and stepped in to help. "It was only after I offered that the shelter told me he had some kind of abnormality with his front legs," Nikki shared with Love Meow.At three weeks old, the kitten, Davie, had a hearty appetite and a penchant for good naps. Nikki welcomed him home and began feeding and caring for him around the clock.Davie quickly settled into his cozy bassinet, complete with warm blankets and his constant companion, a faux mama plushie. Davie was three weeks old when he was rescuedNikkiDespite having one bent paw, Davie was comfortable and spirted, moving around with great determination. He would cry at the sight of his foster mom at mealtime and demand cuddles once his belly was full."He's such a sweet boy, and I can't help but smother him with snuggles and kisses." Davie snuggled with his faux mamaNikkiDavie was born with a congenital abnormality in his front legs. "His right arm is bent like a chicken wing, but he still uses it with limited mobility.""Initially, I had x-rays taken at the vet, and they were sent to an orthopedic veterinarian. However, in time, it seems that his left leg strengthened, and he was able to put pressure on his paw instead of walking on that elbow." He was born with a congenital abnormality in his front legsNikkiAs Davie grew, he adapted remarkably, soon running, jumping, and climbing everything in sight. He quickly mastered the litter tray and reveled in playtime with his foster mom, chasing his wand toy with unbridled energy."Over the last several weeks, he has grown and is getting stronger, and his mobility is increasing." He doesn't let anything hold him backNikkiWith daily exercise, good food, and plenty of TLC, Davie can now use his left front leg to support himself while batting at toys with his right paw. He never fails to impress with his ability to use his front legs in different ways."Nothing holds him back; he's able to climb in and out of bed, play with toys, and get himself in and out of the litter box with no challenges. He has an incredibly sweet disposition." Over time, his left leg strengthened, and he was able to support himself with itNikkiNikki's resident blind cat, Stella, often visits the foster room. Davie watches in awe as Stella skillfully catches every moving toy with perfect precision. "Stella is helping me supervise Davie for his late-night playtime."Davie has a ravenous appetite and begs for more food even though he ate less than an hour ago. Nikki"He absolutely loved his bottle, and it took him a while to be weaned. Now, he can eat wet food from a bowl, which means I get more sleep at night, not having to bottle-feed him.""He loves to play with toys. His favorite ones are the little plastic springs and fishing pole type toys." Davie loves food and human attentionNikkiSince Davie is thriving, experiences no discomfort, and only gets stronger as he grows, Nikki and the medical team agree surgery is not necessary.Davie has been honing his climbing skills, especially when Nikki sits at the computer, trying to work. He scales her leg in an attempt to get her to play or to reach her lap for cuddles. Although he can't climb as high as other kittens his age, he's determined to try. Davie likes to scale his foster mom's leg when she's workingNikkiTwo days ago, Davie was given free rein of the house. Thrilled, he scampered around, exploring every nook and cranny. "He's a big kid now."He's overjoyed to have a loving foster mom catering to his every whim, Stella the blind cat keeping him entertained with whatever she does, boundless food each day, and a cozy bed to curl up in. He's getting bigger and stronger every dayNikkiJust a few weeks ago, Davie was at the shelter, his fate uncertain. With a foster home, his life has been forever changed, and a bright future awaits him. NikkiShare this story with your friends.

Trans-Woman Incarcerated in Women's Prison Allegedly Raped and Impregnated a Fellow Inmate

We are on Day Two of the Capitol Hill Bathroom Cycle, which shows no sign of abating. CBS and NBC have now taken up the cause of the transgender member of Congress who is, as of today, NOT allowed to use women’s facilities due to being a biological male.  Here’s how the CBS Evening News opened their reporting on the trans toilet tiff: NORAH O’DONNELL: House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a new rule on Capitol Hill. If transgender men and women are going to use single-sex bathrooms or locker rooms, they must use the one that is reserved for, as he said, their biological sex. CBS's Scott MacFarlane reports from The Hill. SCOTT MACFARLANE: U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson today took aim at Democrat Sarah McBride, the first ever transgender member elected to Congress. With his decision to bar transgender people from using those Capitol complex bathrooms that do not align with their sex assigned at birth. MIKE JOHNSON: We have single-sex facilities for a reason. MACFARLANE: McBride said today she did not come to Washington to fight about bathrooms. South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace has led the charge to bar McBride from women’s rooms here and does not acknowledge McBride is a woman. NANCY MACE: We have rights as women and we have the right not to be bombarded by men in our restrooms. Just so we are crystal clear here, CBS Congressional Correspondent Scott MacFarlane is in a moral panic because Nancy Mace refuses to acknowledge Representative-Elect McBride as a woman. This was basically the tone and tenor for both reports: outrage at the idea that men who dress as women are not women, and should therefore not be allowed to use the same restroom facilities as women. This is the same Regime Media that made short shrift of the various mediocre male swimmers that invaded women’s swimming. Today, it’s volleyball, with a number of female athletes suffering concussions after getting balls spiked on their heads by male athletes. The erasure of women continues apace, and as we saw on MSNBC’s Alex Wagner Tonight, the Regime Media have chosen the side that erases women.  NBC’s entry wasn’t that much better. Congressional correspondent Ryan Nobles attempts a cheap whataboutism, predicated on Mace’s historic graduation from The Citadel: RYAN NOBLES: South Carolina's Nancy Mace, who broke ground herself as the first woman to graduate from the once all-male military academy The Citadel, arguing that McBride should not be allowed to use women’s restrooms on the Capitol complex. Nice try, Ryan. Per The Los Angeles Times’ profile on Mace’s Citadel predecessor, Shannon Faulkner: After a federal judge last year ruled The Citadel’s all-male policy unconstitutional, Faulkner entered the university as a sophomore day student while living off campus in Charleston with her attorney. But on Saturday she was assigned to India Company, given a single room with a lockable door in a barracks and will have use of a private bathroom. For security, a video camera will be trained on her door 24 hours a day. You see, Mace didn’t have to worry about having to use a bathroom in the presence of men back then. This is pretty much a now thing. Both reports end with condescending quotes from far-left members of Congress, and with a collective eye roll and deep Algoreian sigh at what our collective refusal to endorse the societal erasure of women betrays: our lack of enlightenment. If only we agree to destroy our girls and women, then our moral betters might stop looking down upon us. These guys are working hard for that CEI score, and it shows.

If transgender men and women are going to use single-sex bathrooms or locker rooms, they must use the one that is reserved for, as he said, their biological sex. CBS's Scott MacFarlane reports from The Hill. SCOTT MACFARLANE: U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson today took aim at Democrat Sarah McBride, the first ever transgender member elected to Congress.

South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace has led the charge to bar McBride from women’s rooms here and does not acknowledge McBride is a woman. NANCY MACE: We have rights as women and we have the right not to be bombarded by men in our restrooms. MACFARLANE: McBride spoke with CBS News Sunday Morning in October. RITA BRAVER: And I can't believe I'm asking you this but I'm going to. What bathrooms will you use when you are in the Capitol? SARAH MCBRIDE: The bathrooms that I’ve used in the State Senate. The bathrooms that I use when I'm going out to dinner here in Wilmington. I’ll continue to use the bathrooms that I've used for the last decade plus. BRAVER: And that's the ladies room? [Crosstalk, Laughter] MACFARLANE: President-Elect Donald Trump attacked Democrats for supporting transgender rights during the campaign. DONALD TRUMP: We won't be changing your children's gender with their transgender craziness. MACFARLANE: Speaker Johnson has argued there are unisex bathrooms on the Capitol campus. JOHNSON: A man is a man, and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman. MACFARLANE: Democrats blasted Johnson's decision. MARK POCAN: What we should be doing is getting things done for the American people. Instead, we are worried about, you know, who is using what toilet, and that's pretty ridiculous. MACFARLANE: An association of LGBTQ congressional staffers issued a statement calling the new rule a direct affront to trans people. Sarah McBride becomes the newest member of Congress from Delaware on January 3rd. Norah. O’DONNELL: Scott MacFarlane on The Hill tonight. Thank you, Scott. NBC NIGHTLY NEWS 11/20/24 6:42 PM LESTER HOLT: Also, the Speaker of the house wading into the controversy over trans rights, issuing a new policy on the use of bathrooms at The Capitol.. As Ryan Nobles explains, it comes after the election of the first openly transgender member of Congress. RYAN NOBLES: Delaware's Sarah McBride made history in November, becoming the first openly trans woman to win a seat in congress. SARAH MCBRIDE: Thank you so much to the Congressional Progressive Caucus. NOBLES: Her win came as Republicans made opposition to trans rights a major part of their campaign strategy. ANNOUNCER: Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you. NOBLES: Now that fight is front and center on Capitol Hill. NANCY MACE: This isn't manufactured. This is a real thing. NOBLES: South Carolina's Nancy Mace, who broke ground herself as the first woman to graduate from the once all-male military academy The Citadel, arguing that McBride should not be allowed to use women’s restrooms on the Capitol complex. MACE: Congressman-Elect McBride already has a restroom in their own office. There are unisex facilities throughout The Capitol. NOBLES: It led to House Speaker Mike Johnson issuing a new policy that says restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms are, quote: “reserved for individuals of that biological sex.” MIKE JOHNSON: A man is a man and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman. But I also believe that we treat everybody with dignity. NOBLES: This battle, a microcosm of the war raging across the country over trans rights, with Republicans pushing back on bathroom access, pronoun use, and healthcare for trans people. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: They're endangering women, they’re endangering girls of all kinds, and everybody should reject it. It's gross. NOBLES: It's a fight McBride, who came to congress to deal with economic and quality of life issues, did not intend on being the face of. MCBRIDE: I’m not running to be the transgender member of Congress. I'm running to be Delaware’s Member of Congress… NOBLES: And in a statement tonight, McBride said that she didn’t come to Congress to fight over bathrooms, but that she’ll follow the Speaker’s new rules even if she doesn’t agree with them. Lester. HOLT: All right, Ryan. Thanks.
