Ellen DeGeneres Escapes to U.K. Because of Trump

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres recently revealed that she and another lesbian she’s been living with, Portia De Rossi, left the United States and permanently moved to the United Kingdom after President-elect Donald Trump won the election.

The Wrap reported that DeGeneres and De Rossi purchased the home in southwest England — two hours outside of London — before Americans elected Trump on Nov. 5.

TMZ’s insider also claimed that the main reason DeGeneres and De Rossi left the country was Trump’s election victory. The insider added that they were “very disillusioned” after Trump’s victory and immediately decided “to get the hell out” of the country.

Like many other Hollywood celebrities, DeGeneres supported former Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, going as far as donating $3,300 to her campaign, as reported by Page Six.

“There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!” DeGeneres wrote in one of her social media posts. “I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president.”

Conservatives celebrated the recent news, claiming that Trump’s winning the election is a gift that keeps on giving.

“Not only do we get an America First government, but the trash takes itself out. Win/Win!” Trump-supporting actor James Woods wrote.

Libs of TikTok also stated in her post that DeGeneres is Great Britain’s problem now.

“Please stop tweeting that Ellen DeGeneres ‘relocated’ to the UK. The proper term is ‘fled in exile’ to avoid prosecution,” @WallStreetMav wrote, referring to DeGeneres’s connection to Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Other conservatives agreed, claiming that the actual reason why DeGeneres decided to leave the country was not because of Trump but because of her connections to Combs.

“I have reason to believe Ellen is running from the Law! She’s best friends with Diddy and his crew. Ellen is not running from Trump, Ellen is running from Justice!” conservative commentator and businessman Terrence Williams wrote.

Actress Eva Longoria was one of the few Hollywood celebrities who left the country because she didn’t want to live in Trump’s “dystopian” America.

Dems Want Kamala to Run for President Again in 2028

Dems Want Kamala to Run for President Again in 2028

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Even though President-elect Donald Trump defeated former Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, many leftists still expressed their desire to see her run for president in 2028.

According to the newly released poll by Puck News/Echelon Insights, 41% of likely Democratic voters would vote for Harris to be on the Democratic ticket in 2028. The poll also revealed that Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., received a second place (8%), and Gov. Josh Shapiro, D-Pa., who could’ve been Harris’s vice president this cycle, received a third place (7%).

However, the chances of Newsom or Shapiro winning the election in 2028 are almost nonexistent.

Californians no longer support Newsom because they have become more conservative after witnessing the Biden-Harris administration. Shapiro also recently became infamous for trying to defend the election officials in his state who attempted to steal the Senate seat for former Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa.

Other Democrats who appeared in the survey results got even less support from the “vote blue no matter who” crowd. Both Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., Harris’s vice presidential pick, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who ran for president in 2020, got only 6%

Among other unpopular Democrats who appeared in the survey results were Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. (4%), Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich. (3%), and Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D-Ill., (2%).

Conservatives had a lot of fun after seeing the poll, mocking Harris and Democrats, generally speaking.

“I hope they do run her again, but the Democrats usually don’t renominate losers. That’s what Republicans usually do,” Jesse Watters of Fox News said.

He then questioned the idea Harris would even be able to win the Democratic primary.

“I don’t know if she could. If you were a donor, would you ever give money to the Harris campaign after they just gave it away to Oprah [Winfrey] and Al Sharpton and didn’t go on [Joe] Rogan? H-ll no!” Watters added.

Joel Gabriel Simonson of the Washington Free Beacon explained the reason why Democrats still support Harris for president in 2028.

“Kamala Harris leading the 2028 primary makes sense because there is a near consensus on here that she ran a virtually flawless, perfect campaign. So presumably, once Biden is long out of office, she’ll thrive,” he wrote.

Other conservatives stated that they are completely fine with Democrats “being dumb enough to run her” in 2028.

Some people even went as far as “enthusiastically [endorsing]” Harris for the 2028 election.

Democrats also expressed their desire to see Harris run for governor of her home state of California to replace Newsom.

MSNBC Deals Humiliating $5M Pay Cut to Rachel Maddow

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) MSNBC slashed the salary of leftist darling Rachel Maddow by $5 million as mounting uncertainty mars the cable channel. 

Maddow will now earn $25 million over the next five years, down from her initial $30 million contract for The Rachel Maddow Show, which airs only one day a week, according to The Ankler and New York Post. 

“This is a difficult time and they needed to keep her. No one else can do what she does. You can’t build a brand like it overnight,” an MSNBC executive said. 

MSNBC is planning to use Maddow—one of the infamous spreaders of the Russian collusion hoax—on special occasions, including breaking news. 

The pay cut comes amid financial turmoil and Comcast’s decision to spin off cable channels by 2025. 

MSNBC has been suffering in ratings, dropping by 54 percent since Donald Trump’s sweeping victory in the 2024 election, the Post noted. 

Comcast’s NBCUniversal will spin off USA, Oxygen, E!, Syfy, and Golf Channel into a new public company, The New York Times noted Wednesday. Comcast will retain ownership of NBC News, Bravo and Universal Studios. 

As MSNBC became available for trading, several conservatives mounted a campaign to fundraise and buy the cable news channel.

Podcast host Dave Rubin offered to purchase MSNBC, according to his tweet on Nov. 12. Jack Posobiec said he was in Florida to assemble a team of investors to purchase MSNBC. 

Cenk Uygur, co-owner of leftist The Young Turks, also suggested he could purchase the network and transform it into a “populist channel.” 

“It would get far better ratings and could actually help the national conversation,” he said. “It would be the ultimate sign that online media has won.”

Venezuelan Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting Boss’s Child in Their Home

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Local authorities in Colorado have arrested an illegal alien accused of sexually assaulting his boss’s 14-year-old daughter in her own home. 

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) announced Tuesday via X that Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo, a 20-year-old Venezuelan national, forced himself on the 14-year-old girl and sexually assaulted her on Aug. 29, 2024. 

The victim was the daughter of Castillo’s employer, who had invited him to stay temporarily in the residence’s basement, JCSO stated.

According to investigators, Castillo fled the home before deputies arrived. He was located in Denver, Colo., on Tuesday after being on the run for nearly three months.  

Homeland Security sources told the New York Post that Castillo entered the U.S. illegally in September 2023 and was released due to a lack of detention space. 

The Post also reported that Castillo had been arrested in May on charges of “allegedly possessing tools for forgery/counterfeiting and larceny.” 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a detainer for Castillo following his recent arrest. His next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 20.

The alleged assault comes as Colorado faces a massive influx of 40,000 foreign nationals since December 2023, according to the Post.

This was “the largest number of new arrivals per capita across the nation,” the newspaper noted.

Earlier this year, authorities revealed that the violent Venezuela-based gang Tren de Aragua had declared Denver its headquarters because of the city’s sanctuary policies. 

In August, viral footage showed alleged Venezuelan nationals taking over an apartment complex in Aurora, Colo., a neighboring city to Denver.

Trump Team Fires Back at Media’s Ridiculous Health Scare Claims

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) President-elect Donald Trump’s closest allies swiftly shut down baseless suggestions he may have suffered a health episode at his Florida estate on Thursday. 

The rumors began circulating Thursday afternoon after a CBS reporter stationed outside Mar-a-Lago claimed two ambulances and several vans had just left the residence.

The reporter claimed to have spotted between 20 and 25 vehicles and a helicopter “hovering above,” according to The Independent’s Andrew Feinberg, who amplified the claims on his X page.

The false health scare turned out to be part of Vice President-elect JD Vance’s Secret Service motorcade. 

According to Trump spokesmen Steven Cheung and Dan Scavino, the rumors were spread by an unofficial pool of reporters “because they want to feel important about themselves.”

Cheung added, “In this case, some idiot at CBS overreacted and set off the fire alarm for no reason thinking they were going to get the scoop of a lifetime. F*cking dummy.”

Scavino echoed Cheung’s remarks, noting that Trump was in a meeting during the false reporting and that reporters were stationed outside Mar-a-Lago. 

“Nothing more, nothing less,” Scavino wrote, debunking the false claims. “Sadly, they thought they were on to something more. Hopefully they clarify and correct immediately!” 

The original posts garnered over six million views before being flagged with a community note on X. 

“This was just VP-elect JD Vance’s motorcade, which always has ambulances as a precaution,” the fact-checking community note explained.

The rumors come just months after Trump survived two assassination attempts.  

Trump, then a Republican presidential candidate, narrowly escaped the first attempt on his life during a rally in Butler, Pa., on July 13.

The second attempt occurred at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. on Sept. 15.

Trump Nominates Ex-Fla. Attorney Gen. Pam Bondi to Replace Gaetz

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) President-elect Donald Trump nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, a trusted campaign surrogate and former White House legal adviser during his first presidential term, to replace former Rep. Matt Gaetz as his nominee for U.S. attorney general late Thursday.

“Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families,” Trump said in a statement.

He touted her work fighting drug trafficking in particular, which led him to appoint her to the Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during his first term.

Bondi’s work as the head nation’s top law-enforcement official, however, will be of a much different nature, with Trump simultaneously working to root out the deep-state corruption embedded in the permanent bureaucracy and to hold accountable those who have run rampant in abusing the justice system during the Biden administration.

“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore,” Trump wrote. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again.”

Bondi, if confirmed, would be the third woman to officially hold the job, following Bill Clinton appointee Janet Reno and Barack Obama appointee Loretta Lynch.

Sally Yates, an Obama surrogate, served as acting AG for 10 days after Trump first assumed office in his prior term. She was later revealed to have been part of the cabal that had plotted against him to undermine his administration as part of the Russia-collusion hoax.

Bondi hit the campaign trail with Trump, where she called out billionaire Kamala Harris supporter Mark Cuban at a rally in Greensboro, N.C., just days before the election over his misogynist claim on The View that Trump did not surround himself with intelligent women.

“I was a prosecutor—I was a homicide prosecutor for 18 years, and I was Florida’s first female attorney general,” Bondi said.

“And I was special adviser to Donald Trump’s Office of White House Counsel, but most importantly, I’m his friend,” she continued. “And I was in that White House, and we all know he surrounded himself with a lot of brilliant women.”

NYC Rep. Hands Out Whoopi Goldberg’s ‘FAVORITE’ Cakes after the Host Slammed the Bakery

(Maire Clayton, Headline USA) GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., distributed charlotte russe cakes on the Capitol steps Wednesday after View co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed a Staten Island bakery refused to let her place an order due to her political beliefs.

Malliotakis set up a table filled with about 150 cakes and a few boxes of butter cookies from Holtermann’s Bakery, according to the New York Post.

“They’ve arrived!” Malliotakis posted on social media. “All the way from #StatenIsland New York, Whoopi Goldberg’s FAVORITE Charlotte Russe cakes from our 146-year-old staple Holtermann’s Bakery.”

In a subsequent post she showed colleagues enjoying the desserts.

Malliotakis slammed Goldberg for criticizing the 145-year-old bakery.

“She claims that they would not fulfill an order of these, because of her politics,” she said. “That is simply not true.”

The congresswoman called for the comedian to apologize to the shop.

“I think she should apologize,” Malliotakis added. “This is a small business and somebody going on national TV like that could break a business.”

The Post reported the lawmakers took a group photo and said “Whoopi” instead of “cheese.”

“The owner of the shop, Jill Holtermann, said Goldberg’s political views had nothing to do with her declining the order.

“I said to Whoopi, ‘I can’t do it right now,’” she recalled telling the comedian. “‘We have so many things going on with my boiler.’”

Since Goldberg made the allegations, patrons have flocked to the store with there being a long line at times.

The bakery had to shut down on Monday to restock because it was sold out of everything.

“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all the incredible support we’ve received from near and far,” the bakery posted on social media. “For the second day in a row, we’ve emptied out the shop, and it’s all thanks to YOU!”

N.C. Democratic Judge Who Reversed 10K Election-Night Win Used Dead, Ineligible Voters

N.C. Democratic Judge Who Reversed 10K Election-Night Win Used Dead, Ineligible Voters

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) A Republican candidate for the North Carolina Supreme Court is demanding a recount after Democrat ballot “curing” reversed his 10,000 vote lead to a deficit of 643 votes, arguing that many of the Democrats’ so-called voters were ineligible, or even dead.

Within just a two election cycles, North Carolina Democrats have gone from controlling the state Supreme Court to facing the prospect of a 5-1 GOP majority.

Given the Tarheel State’s standing as one of the most evenly split swing states—and a true unicorn in that it has a Democrat executive branch with a GOP-dominated legislature—the court has played a significant role that sometimes spills onto the national stage in contentious debates including the battle over redistricting and a voter ID referendum.

But despite Republican victories on those fronts, it seems the state still has some work to do in maintaining its election integrity.

Democrats are attempting to reverse the election-night victories of several key races, with a veto-proof Republican super-majority in the legislature potentially at stake, prompting the GOP candidates in at least three races to call for recounts.

Most egregious among them was a closely watched race against Democrat state Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs, whose name says it all.

Riggs, a left-wing activist who previously filed anti-integrity lawsuits in the state, was appointed last year by Gov. Roy Cooper to fill the vacancy after Justice Michael Morgan resigned to run in the Democratic primary for governor.

Although Morgan lost his primary to eventual gubernatorial victor Josh Stein—the state’s current attorney general—he opted not to run for his old job, clearing the field for Riggs to run as the incumbent.

Her Republican challenger, Jefferson Griffin—a 44-year-old appellate judge and Duke University law student—appeared to have bested Riggs on election night. But gradually the margin narrowed as Riggs took advantage of a 10-day window between when ballots were cast and when they were canvassed to find the votes she needed, borrowing a page from notorious Democrat attorney Marc Elias’s playbook.

“We always knew this race would be incredibly close, but it may come down to just dozens of votes,” she coyly posted on X.

Griffin was obliged to threaten a lawsuit against the state Board of Elections, led by Cooper-appointed Democrats, after it slow-walked its canvassing data, nearly forcing him to miss the deadline to file a challenge, the Duke Chronicle reported.

According to a report from the nonprofit Electoral Education Foundation—a watchdog group founded by Hal Weatherman, who was the candidate in the state’s recent race for lieutenant governor—the Board of Elections committed at least four significant failures in compiling and reporting its voter data.

Those included:

  • 150,000 added to the voter rolls who did not have a valid voter ID
  • 2,000 overseas voters who did not provide an overseas address
  • 8,401 same-day registrants who may also have received absentee ballots
  • vote totals that were switched back and forth repeatedly after the final data upload “indicating manual manipulation of data

Weatherman told Headline USA that EEF had shared its findings with Griffin’s legal team and with the state General Assembly.

After cross-referencing the voter data, Griffin discovered that there were more than 60,000 suspect voters, including those who were dead, who had invalid registrations—or none at all—and who were ineligible due to felony records.

“Protecting election integrity is not just an option—it’s our duty,” Griffin said in a press release from the North Carolina Republican Party announcing his challenge of the final tally. “These protests are about one fundamental principle: ensuring every legal vote is counted.”

If more than 626 votes are discovered to be illegitimate, the likely outcome would be that the Board of Elections would order an election do-over.

North Carolina’s statewide races have been fraught in recent years with the “taint of fraud” and other election shenanigans.

In 2018, the Supreme Court’s other sitting Democrat, Anita Earls, helped secure a leftist majority by ousting Republican incumbent Barbara Jackson after Democrats funded an imposter candidate as a GOP challenger to split the ticket, banking on the fact that voters would not have sufficiently researched the down-ballot races.

That same election, Democrats—in possible collusion with former members of the state Board of Elections—sought to steal a U.S. congressional race won by Baptist preacher Mark Harris, a Republican, by accusing Harris of illegal ballot harvesting.

Although Democrats frequently embrace the tactic wherever they can to secure extra votes—often under the most dubious of circumstances—Elias, the notorious DNC mega-lawyer, found himself arguing against the process as part of the effort to set up Harris and force an election do-over.

Amid a tense televised hearing in which Harris’s own son was called to testify against him, the Republican victor dropped out of the race but was subsequently absolved of any wrongdoing. Rep. Dan Bishop, the Republican who replaced him on the ticket, eventually won the rematch.

But Harris is now the congressman-elect, having coasted to victory in the 2024 race after Bishop stepped aside in an unsuccessful bid for state attorney general.

‘WW3 Has Begun,’ Ukraine’s Ex-Military Commander-in-Chief Says

‘WW3 Has Begun,’ Ukraine’s Ex-Military Commander-in-Chief Says

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Ukraine’s former military Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny reportedly said that “World War 3 has begun” after NATO and the U.S. signed off on Ukraine firing long-range missiles into Russian territory—weapons that require Western infrastructure, satellites, and other logistical support to function.

“I believe that in 2024 we can absolutely believe that the Third World War has begun,” said Zaluzhny, who is now Ukraine’s envoy to the United Kingdom, during a speech at Ukrainska Pravda’s UP100 award ceremony—as reported by Politico.eu.

“Because in 2024, Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine. Let’s be honest. Already in Ukraine, the Iranian ‘Shahedis’ are killing civilians absolutely openly, without any shame,” he reportedly added, omitting the fact that U.S., French, British and other troops are also on the ground there.

Zaluzhny’s comments were reported after Ukraine fired six U.S.-made ATACMS missiles at Russia’s Bryansk region on Tuesday. Two days later, the Kremlin fired a new intermediate-range ballistic missile at Ukraine in retaliation.

In a televised address to the country following Thursday’s attack, the Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that U.S. air defense systems would be powerless to stop the new missile, which he said flies at ten times the speed of sound and which he called the Oreshnik — Russian for hazelnut tree.

Perhaps even more ominously, he also said it could be used to attack any Ukrainian ally whose missiles are used to attack Russia.

Putin’s announcement came hours after Ukraine claimed that Russia used an intercontinental ballistic missile in the Dnipro attack, which wounded two people and damaged an industrial facility and rehabilitation center for people with disabilities, according to local officials. But American officials said an initial U.S. assessment indicated the strike was carried out with an intermediate-range ballistic missile.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post that the use of the missile was an “obvious and serious escalation in the scale and brutality of this war, a cynical violation of the UN Charter.”

Meanwhile, Russian Security Council official Dmitry Medvedev has repeatedly warned that Russia is willing to use nuclear weapons if the war continues to escalate.

“Russia reserves the right to retaliate with weapons of mass destruction against Kiev and key NATO facilities, wherever they may be located,” Medvedev said earlier this week, according to Russia Today.

“This would amount to World War III,” he added.

DHS Says It Doesn’t Have Interview Transcripts from Panel’s Trump Shooting Investigation

DHS Says It Doesn’t Have Interview Transcripts from Panel’s Trump Shooting Investigation

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Last month, an “independent panel” appointed by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas released its report on the July 13 assassination attempt against Donald Trump—a report underpinned by 58 multi-hour interviews that panel conducted with federal, state and local law enforcement involved in the incident.

After the report was issued, Headline USA filed a Freedom of Information Act request for transcripts of the 58 interviews conducted by the panel. The Senate Homeland Security Committee published some of the transcripts from its own investigation, which can be found here.

However, the DHS says no transcripts exist from the panel. Instead of interview transcripts, the DHS has 58 memorandums of the interviews.

“There are NO transcripts at all as part of this Panel,” the DHS’s FOIA division told this publication on Thursday. “The [Independent Review] Panel members wrote up the 58-interview memorandum instead.”

Headline USA asked the DHS to process its FOIA request for the memorandums. This publication will make them public when it receives them. This reporter has also asked whether recordings of the interviews exist.

If no recordings exist, that would mean that the DHS’s full “independent” investigation is lost to history. The panel was headed by a number of deep-state actors, including Obama-era DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and Frances Fragos Townsend, who was Bush’s assistant for homeland security and counterterrorism.

While the department has offered to provide memorandums of the panel’s interviews, such documents can’t be relied upon to accurately represent what’s said. Indeed, the FBI notoriously doesn’t record its interviews, instead relying on memorandums referred to as “Form 302” reports.

For example, there were “irregular handling and editing” of FBI 302s in the case of Trump’s former National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, according to a 2020 report from RealClearInvestigations.

FBI officials facing investigation have expressed fears about their fellow agents mischaracterizing what they said during interviews.

Former top FBI agent Danny Coulson, who spearheaded the creation of the bureau’s Hostage Rescue Team, said in his autobiography that he insisted on submitting a sworn affidavit when he was under investigation for his role in the Ruby Ridge massacre in 1992.

“I had seen too many criminal investigations in which FBI agents conducted interviews and then paraphrased their subjects inaccurately because they were unfamiliar with the complicated subject matter or had their own spin on the case already,” Coulson, who was not charged over the Ruby Ridge massacre, wrote in his book, No Heroes.
