Ellen DeGeneres decided enough is enough and moved to England in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 Presidential Election.
In a world of celebrities threatening to leave the country in the event of a Donald Trump victory, DeGeneres at least deserves credit for actually going through with it. As was the case for most celebs, DeGeneres had backed Kamala Harris over Trump.
The former television personality, who quit showbusiness after claims of a toxic work environment on the set of her self-titled show in 2022, has since reportedly left the United States for the Cotswolds – a rural area in the south of England. DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi are thought to have left their California home in a decision motivated by Trump’s election earlier this month.
DeGeneres reportedly bought the sprawling Montecito property in 2019, and she and de Rossi have made it their primary residence; it wasn’t clear what would become of her other Southern California properties. A former spokeswoman for DeGeneres said she is no longer representing the comedian since her comedy special and tour are concluded.
Let’s be honest, would a single person have even noticed she left if it wasn’t being reported?

If you’re of a certain age, you remember watching All in the Family when it aired on primetime. The show featured a working class white family living in Queens. Archie and Edith Bunker were the parents, and their daughter Gloria and her husband Mike lived in the townhouse with them.
When I was a kid growing up in a Democrat household (don’t worry, I got better), loudmouthed and blunt Archie was the hero we loved to hate. He was conservative and crotchety. He had little time for complaints from racial minorities about mistreatment; for Archie, it was a lot of whining from people who didn’t have it nearly as bad as they claimed they did.
He didn’t like his son-in-law Mike, either, a long-haired, mustachioed, long-in-the-tooth hippie who banged on about vegetarianism, social justice, and those bad capitalist fat cats. There was a reason Archie called him “meathead.”
Show creator Normal Lear was, though very talented, your standard-issue Hollywood liberal. Middle-aged, working class, white Archie Bunker was supposed to be the scapegoat of the show. We were supposed to laugh at him with pity, never with him. Instead, daughter Gloria and her meathead husband were positioned as the “truly caring” people that normal and good Americans could identify with.
I used to watch the show the way I was “supposed to.” And then I grew up and got into middle age and I’ll tell you, I can’t stand meathead either. To me, Archie Bunker was the real hero of the show. It may even be true that Archie Bunker was the inaugural character who launched 50 years of insult and degradation by liberals against white conservative American men. You’re hard pressed to find a single father figure or major male character in a comedy show who isn’t portrayed as a selfish, stupid oaf who can’t figure out how to run a washing machine. No, it’s his “better half,” his much more clever and with-it wife, who makes all good things happen.
All of that is a long wind-up to point out that it looks like Normal Lear wrote Mike Stivic/Meathead to mirror the actor Rob Reiner who played him. Reiner has become one of the most deranged uber-progressive-liberals in Hollywood, and at his advanced age he continues to bedevil social media users with pious stupidity like this:
The reader will pardon me while I steel myself against picking up the bourbon.
What’s he on about? Democrats literally cannot and will not tell you what a woman is if you ask. Conservative commentator Matt Walsh proved that with his wildly successful documentary, “What is a Woman.”
And what does Reiner or any other liberal in Hollywood care about birthing babies? The only babies they like are those that get aborted before they have a chance at life. It’s really just too much. There are words for men like Rob Reiner—and they’re accurate—but those are too colorful for Wokespy.
Let’s see how X/Twitter reacted to Reiner’s bathos:
And you weren’t aborted. Do you see the hypocrisy?
Star Wars has released the first image of a new transgender clone trooper which will feature within the franchise.
Named “Sister”, the character has reportedly existed for two years since first debuting in the 2022 novel, “A Queen’s Hope”. However, Sister will officially enter Star Wars lore, leaving many fans furious as they long for a time when the franchise was about awesome battles in space.
Like all other clone troopers, Sister wears a white suit, although her armor is decorated with the blue and pink of the transgender rights flag.
It’s bizarre that Disney believes fans of the series truly care about what a “clone” trooper identifies as. Since it bought the rights nearly a decade ago, many have longed for strong storytelling, captivating creativity and fantastic films, rather than the introduction of virtue signaling and left-wing activists.
For many fans, the transgender character doesn’t even fit in with Star Wars cannon. The Kaminoans, which created the clones, had a long history of eradicating creations which did not meet acceptable parameters. While their views on genetic modification are unclear, it’s unlikely within the Star Wars universe that they would approve of a clone whose priorities focus on personal freedoms rather than serving the Galactic Republic.
Some fans were even confused as to whether the character’s introduction was genuine!
It’s what the young people today call a “sick burn.” You can bet some blue-no-matter-who people in Texas are hopping mad after someone bought a billboard right beneath another ad urging Texans to “vote Democratic.”
The billboard plugging votes for Democrats sits on a pole that can fit two signs, one above the other. A sign reading “Vote Democratic” was placed on top, with the one below reading “Cooper.”
Cooper is the advertising agency that sells space, and the “ad” is just a placeholder letting people know there’s a spot they can rent for their message. Well, the gentleman who posted the video above noticed and said, “That one right there is still available. Shall we do something?”
And do something he did. Watch below – and get ready to laugh:
It’s not just conservatives or Texans getting a laugh out of that bit of trolling. A rock radio station in Wichita Falls, Kansas, noticed the billboards. Staff writer “Stryker” for 106.3 FM wrote Democrats in Comfort, Texas, are probably having acid indigestion on seeing the perfectly legal and above-board “prank.”
The original sign urging a Democrat vote was bought and paid for by the Kendall County Democrats.
And who was the stinker who put up the “Just Kidding, Vote Republican, MAGA” sign just below? You’re going to love this. The customer is a gunsmith who owns a business that applies ceramic coating to guns, cars, and more.
The “ratio” on X (Twitter) in response to the post about the billboard is decidedly in the gunsmith’s favor:
But there’s always at least one blue party pooper:
Following the presidential debate last week, pop singer Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
The climate conscious singer’s endorsement was perhaps no surprise given that her political positions have often favored Democrats. In the 2018 mid-term elections, Swift endorsed Tennessee Democrats Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper. In 2020, she publicly endorsed the Biden-Harris ticket.
While predictable, the singer – whose songs often contain references to her own bad decision-making – was expected to carry some weight in convincing moderate “Swifties” to vote Democrat.
However, that’s not happening.
While Donald Trump may “hate” Taylor Swift, Harris must feel the same to some extent too following the release of a YouGov poll on Saturday. Only 8% of respondents to the poll said Swift’s endorsement is “somewhat” or “much more likely” to convince them to vote Democrat. Interestingly, 20% of respondents said they were now “somewhat” or “much less likely” to support Harris after receiving the singer’s backing. The majority of those polled said it had made no difference on their voting intentions (66%).
Many respondents were split as to whether Swift’s endorsement will have a positive effect on Harris’ campaign (32%) or no difference at all (27%). Fans made up 34% of those surveyed, with her biggest supporters being female, registered Democrats who were going to vote Harris regardless.
The poll’s results were humorous to many on social media.
Others speculated that Swift’s reputation as a wealthy celebrity failed to resonate with millions of Americans.
Just as it seems like the world is finally getting tired enough of woke claptrap about race, gender, and all manner of “oppressions,” entertainment companies are doubling down on woke offerings that seem destined to bring ridicule instead of profit.
The Netflix streaming service is one of the worst offenders. What used to be about as popular and “loved by everyone” as Blockbuster Video was in the 1980s and 1990s is now a digital “freaks on demand” service. In the past few years the service has offered viewers a multi-part documentary focusing on the alleged troubles of third-tier American whiner/actress Meghan Markle and her henpecked husband Prince Harry Windsor, a series featuring dimwitted race huckster Ibram X. Kendi (real name: Ibram Henry Rogers, but that doesn’t sound Militant Black enough), and a show called “He’s Expecting.” Yes. It’s a show about a pregnant man, because that’s a real thing now we are all commanded to believe on pain of cancellation.
One of the most ridiculous and offensive series in recent years has to be the “reimagining” of the Tudor Court. Or, as we like to call it, Black Anne Boleyn. That’s right, Netflix decided to really reimagine the downfall of Henry VIII’s second wife by casting dark-skinned black actress Jodie Turner Smith. Because we all know that black Africans were a huge part of early modern English life, and that Henry was an early proponent of interracial dating.
The Daily Mail wrote about how the company was experiencing the Go Woke, Go Broke effect, and axed some of its worst offerings in order to save the company’s bottomline. But has Netflix woken up? Not if its latest Will Ferrell comedy is any indication.
“Will and Harper” is a road-trip buddy movie with a twist: it’s actually a documentary. Oh, and there’s another twist: one of the buds has become a bud-ette. Ferrell stars along with former Saturday Night Live head writer Harper Steele as themselves. The trailer opens with a maudlin-comic (they think) introduction by Ferrell in which he reminisces about working with his friend Harper, then receives a letter from him saying he’s “transitioning to live as a woman.” So they decide to have a road trip about it.
Click the pic below to see the trailer. Warning: you may get creeped out by a monotone and very male Harper Steele in mod glasses and a lady-cut intoning, “I’m not Andrew Steele anymore.” Cue Psycho theme music.
Let’s see what X/Twitter users had to say to Netflix on that thread.
This guy is right on the money. He’s talking about the popular movie ratings website Rotten Tomatoes, which is known to be staffed by wokies who rate any postmodern garbage as genius while the audience rating for the same dreck gives it a thumbs down.
There’s always one dummy.
Tell us, readers, will you be taking the road trip with Will and “Harper?”
The entire Democrat campaign for president is nothing but hot air about Kamala Harris, so why not a little more? Breitbart has the bead on what appears to be an orchestrated lie put out by the Harris campaign to pump up numbers at the Democratic National Convention that wound up in Chicago.
Did you hear that pop goddess Beyoncé was supposed to appear? Plenty did, thanks to a rumor that the online gossip tabloid TMZ put out. As it turns out, their source for the claim was Harris’ senior political director and strategist Emmy Ruiz, who knowingly lied and then joked about it after.
The rumor then spread like wildfire, as you can see below in the compilation of liberal news outlets that then pushed it.
TMZ’s gossip originated from Ruiz tweeted out a bee emoji, and because Beyonce”s fans call her “Queen B” therefore Beyonce would be appearing at the DNC. And while that seems like a stretch, that was what Ruiz wanted all along, who joked after fooling the media (who wanted to be fooled) that she only tweeted that because her “6 year old took my phone.”
Is anyone surprised? Harris is an empty candidate with no ideas except how to achieve her own will to power. She’s been rightly mocked by critics across the political spectrum for having a presidential campaign website with absolutely zero policy details and no platform. But it sure is full of pictures of Harris and running mate Tim Walz attempting to simulate human grins.
Harris managed to get an audience at all at one of her first rallies after the apparent “soft coup” that dumped Joe Biden out of the race by giving rally goers a free concert. Superstar rapper Meghan Thee Stallion looks to be the reason anyone turned out, but one thing is certain: it was the first time a presidential candidate featured “twerking” at a campaign rally. That’s no longer remarkable, apparently, as all CNN had to say about the fact that a rapper was thrusting her ass into the audience’s face was that she was wearing a pantsuit just like Kam Kam.
People on social media are mocking the Beyoncé rumor with many saying anyone who fell for it is a fool. But are they? In a country with a major political party that endorses the surgical and chemical mutilation of confused children and calls it “gender affirming care,” is a Beyoncé convention appearance that hard to buy?
Let’s see what people on X have to say.
He’s got a point.
This one will make you titter.
You can’t really argue with Anthony about this one.
Disney’s latest Star Wars venture, “The Acolyte,” has been abruptly canceled after just one season.
Controversial ‘Woke’ Series Axed
Disney+ pulled the plug on “The Acolyte,” a Star Wars series overseen by director Leslye Headland, following its single, contentious season. The decision blindsided viewers, especially following actor Manny Jacinto’s enthusiastic promotion at the recent D23 Expo. Lucasfilm ultimately decided against continuing the show, leaving its fanbase with a season-finale cliffhanger and no resolution in sight.
This unpredictable termination has stirred debate about the impact of ‘wokeness’ on modern entertainment.
Despite its promotional hype, “The Acolyte” struggled to establish a strong foothold among audiences, leading to this drastic decision from Disney and Lucasfilm.
The show’s debut season faced relentless rumors and encountered a profoundly divided reception. Despite a potent season finale, Disney and Lucasfilm opted not to greenlight a second season. Considering the limited array of upcoming live-action Star Wars series, this cancellation came as a genuine surprise to Woke fans.
Critically, “The Acolyte” earned a 78% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the audience score plummeted to a dismal 18%. Criticisms ranged from sluggish pacing to subpar tension, leading many to question if the high production costs were ever justified.
“The Acolyte is no more. The Star Wars series will not return for a second season, EW has learned,” EW reported.
The series had a strong launch, amassing 4.8 million views on its first day and 11.1 million views globally within five days. It even appeared on Nielsen’s Top 10 originals chart, debuting at No. 7 in its first week and climbing to No. 6 subsequently. Yet, by Week 3, it fell out of the Top 10, only climbing back to No. 10 after the finale aired, which, with 335 million minutes viewed, became the lowest-rated Star Wars series finale.
The worst part about hearing The Acolyte is cancelled is this will absolutely impact my ability to enjoy any more new projects for SW. I feel like everything I went through while the show was on was for nothing. I don’t enjoy being depressed and cynical about this fandom 😑
Disney and Lucasfilm have not provided an official reason for canceling “The Acolyte.” The divisions among fans, due to its female-centric plot and diverse casting, certainly played a role. This echoes previous controversies within the Star Wars community, notably after the release of “The Last Jedi.”
With Disney shifting its focus back to cinema, there are already four new Star Wars movies in development. Furthermore, upcoming television content includes “Skeleton Crew,” “Andor” season 2, and “Ahsoka” season 2. Although this pattern of limited series and abrupt cancellations mirrors the MCU’s trajectory on Disney+, the direction remains uncertain.
I confirmed with Lucasfilm. They never greenlit a season 2 so “canceled” isn’t technically true but…they’re choosing not to move forward with a second season which there by ends the show. Potato Po-tato. pic.twitter.com/usIuNl2FRR
This decision adds fuel to the fire of an already contentious Star Wars fanbase. Leslye Headland had pitched ideas for a second season and expressed her aspirations for renewal. However, in the current climate, it appears Disney and Lucasfilm are moving towards projects with broader appeal, shying away from controversial ‘woke’ storylines that divide the audience.
“‘The Acolyte’ had a bumpy journey through marketing and release on the small screen, to say the least,” Fran Ruiz said for Space.com.
As Disney pivots back to cinema, the future of Star Wars on Disney+ remains precarious. With both divisive content and high production costs, the shift towards fewer, more impactful series could see a more strategic and profitable model for the franchise moving forward.
Rob Schneider’s comedy acts are riling up audiences, tackling free speech controversies, and pushing his support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign.
Schneider’s Comedy Sparks Audience Backlash
Rob Schneider is no stranger to the wrath of the so-called tolerant left. Known for his anti-vaccine stance and right-wing views, Schneider has faced audience backlash on several occasions. Recently, he faced uproar at a charity event in Canada hosted by the Hospitals of Regina Foundation where his jokes were deemed transphobic and misogynistic. Yes, in Canada, the land of …niceness…, Schneider managed to ruffle feathers so much that his performance was cut short and an apology was issued to the audience.
Schneider’s ability to ‘shock’ might be a badge of honor in his quest for comedy that truly embraces free speech. He argues that speech acceptable to everyone requires no protection, whereas challenging speech does. If hordes of sensitive event attendees can’t handle ‘edgy,’ they might as well stay home wrapped in bubble wrap.
Supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’
DON’T BELIEVE THE DEMOCRAT’S NEWEST LIE! My friend Robert Kennedy Jr. will not join forces with the truly malignant tumor on our Nation, Kamala Harris and Lockdown-Riot Allowing-Walz. https://t.co/xgEEixmfVx
In addition to his comedy, Schneider is channeling his energy into supporting independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He has even participated in comedy nights aimed at fundraising for the campaign. Unlike the Democrats who have turned into the “party of forever wars and censorship,” Kennedy seems to be giving voice to issues that the current administration would rather ignore.
“We spent five times more than they do in Europe for health care. And we have way worse results. We can’t have 60% of the American population unhealthy, 54% of children. That needs to be the biggest story for you guys in all mass media. The fact that children have chronic illness at over 50%, that’s a 10-12 year-old statistic. So we have to get people healthy,” Rob Schneider said, echoing comments made by his friend Kennedy.
Taking a stand is never easy, but Schneider has shown time and again that he’s not afraid to go against the grain. His political shift began in 2012 when he protested against a bill that required child vaccination exemptions to have medical approval.
Schneider’s support for Kennedy hasn’t gone unnoticed. In fact, it’s caused quite a stir within the Democratic Party. Perhaps because Kennedy is addressing the issues that matter to Americans—health care costs, homelessness, and public health, instead of focusing on foreign conflicts.
Controversial Fundraisers and Hollywood Blacklisting
At a recent fundraiser for Kennedy, Schneider pulled no punches, making jokes about the pandemic protocols and “wokeness.” For Schneider, the event was a night to remember. Alongside other comedians like Adam Carolla, Jeremy Piven, and Michael Binder, Schneider criticized high taxes in California and Disney’s stance on the transgender movement. The event was held at the Million Dollar Theater in Los Angeles for tickets ranging from $150 to $1,500.
“I’m trying to find a new way to make sure Hollywood never f***ing hires me again for a movie,” Schneider said.
It all goes to show that Rob Schneider isn’t about to shut up, sit down, and conform to Hollywood’s liberal agenda. Instead, he’s ready to take risks and speak on issues so many in Tinseltown fear to utter. As Schneider continues to support Kennedy, the liberals’ anxiety can be felt from coast to coast. With Kennedy addressing the issues that matter, it’s no wonder the Democrats are worried
Have you ever done a crossword and thought, “Boy – this crossword just isn’t focused enough on race”? No, us neither – but apparently Juliana Pache did. She thought crosswords were so racist, in fact, that she made her only black-only version.
Woke Mania: Black-Only Crossword Puzzles
In a world where the Woke brigade never tires of finding fault with everything, 32-year-old Juliana Pache has introduced a black-only crossword puzzle website. Blackcrossword.com was launched in January 2023, offering daily mini-puzzles that spotlight Black culture and history. Apparently, mainstream crossword puzzles are too biased for her taste. And mainstream news outlets can’t stop covering her.
Pache recounted her inspiration, claiming she struggled with a crossword puzzle that didn’t include references she found familiar. Rather than pick up a history book or do a bit more learning, she decided it was time for a whole new crossword experience. One that was more focused on…race.
“I had never made a crossword puzzle before,” Pache said. “But I was like, I can figure it out.”
The Book and The Mission
As if the website was not enough, Pache has also released a book titled “Black Crossword: 100 Mini Puzzles Celebrating the African Diaspora.” Once again, the mainstream media is busy showering her efforts with praise—because nothing says woke like focusing exclusively on one group to highlight inclusivity.
Pache aims to include at least three Black cultural references per puzzle. Her goal, as she states, is to create content that Black people would enjoy and to highlight the diversity within Black communities and cultures.
So apparently “Black jobs” is offensive but “Black cultural references” isn’t? Ok…
Spotlight on Diversity in Crosswords
Pache’s efforts draw on a broader conversation about representation in crossword puzzles. This debate touches on who constructs these puzzles and how inclusive the clues and answers are. Imagine honestly believing something as benign as crosswords needs to become a battleground for cultural sensitivity. There are people doing exactly that, though.
Data journalist Michelle Pera-McGhee’s 2020 project brought to light the gender and racial disparities in crossword puzzle references. With several initiatives underway, makers are now offering fellowships for underrepresented puzzle constructors and creating puzzles for varied communities.
It’s “interesting because it’s supposed to be easy,” Pera-McGhee said. “You want … ideally to reference things that people, everybody knows about because everyone learns about them in school or whatever. … What are the things that we decide we all should know?”
In today’s world, where everything allegedly has an inherent bias, crosswords were bound to become the next target. Weren’t they? As for Pache, her ostensibly …noble… mission continues to carve out niches and build walls. Blackcrossword.com and her accompanying book are just more examples of how the liberal mindset tends to fixate on color in the name of diversity.
In the grand scheme of things, this initiative might become another footnote in the ever-expanding book of Woke culture. Maybe one day we’ll return to simply enjoying puzzles, without needing a magnifying glass for implied biases and hidden meanings. And when we can’t find the answers, we pick up a history book and educate ourselves…
