Rosie O'Donnell has fled America, will return when all citizens 'have equal rights'



Rosie O'Donnell confirmed that she has fled to Ireland and suggested that politics were at least partly the reason for her emigration.

O'Donnell said on the video posted to her official TikTok account that she moved away in January.

'When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back.'

"It's been pretty wonderful, I have to say. The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. And I'm very grateful," she said.

"I was never someone who thought I would move to another country. That's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are," she added.

She hinted that she might return to the U.S. if the political situation reverses.

"It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know," O'Donnell said.

"You know, I'm happy," she added. "I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home, and I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country, and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back."

O'Donnell famously got into a feud with Trump long before he became president. In 2015 at the first Republican presidential primary debate, Megyn Kelly challenged Trump about his insults against women.

“You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ ‘slobs,’ and ‘disgusting animals,’” Kelly said.

“Only Rosie O’Donnell,” Trump joked.

Here's the video of O'Donnell's statement:

Ellen DeGeneres packs her bags for the UK and says she’s 'never coming back'



Several Hollywood stars threatened to leave the United States if Donald Trump won the election. How many of them will prove good on their ultimatums remains to be seen.

However, one star who is most certainly on her way out of the country is Ellen DeGeneres. And she’s not just leaving; she’s “never coming back.”

Dave Rubin and co-hosts Winston Marshall and Isabel Brown discuss the television star’s exodus.

“She can't live in her Montecito house worth a hundred million dollars anymore with all of her servants. She's moving to the U.K.,” says Dave. “I am fairly certain that the jihadists running the streets of London love lesbians.”

“Please keep her,” sighs Marshall, who’s from the U.K. “Things are bad enough.”

In all seriousness though, liberal hysteria following Trump’s win has grown to comical levels.

“I read the other day that a cruise company is actually offering a four-year cruise for almost $200,000 at over 400 ports of entry for you to temporarily escape the country while Trump is president,” says Brown.

Further, it’s ironic DeGeneres is specifically fleeing to the U.K. where free speech “is not a guaranteed right.”

One would think that “talk show hosts like Ellen DeGeneres that are quite used to the protections of being able to say everything that's on [her] mind and to criticize the people in power” would appreciate our First Amendment, but apparently the U.K.’s Orwellian grip on speech is preferable, adds Brown.

Michael Keaton tries to dissuade men from Musk-Trump rallies: 'They laugh at you behind your back, they think you’re stupid'



Famed Hollywood actor Michael Keaton catapulted himself into the political arena in a video on Instagram trying to dissuade voters, especially males, from going to see Elon Musk at Trump rallies.

'They don’t want to hang out with you. They have nothing in common with you. They’re not your bros.'

Keaton claimed that both the billionaire entrepreneur and the billionaire former president had condescending views about their supporters and fans.

“For some of you folks, guys mostly , who are thinking of attending a rally with Musk and Trump, they don’t really respect you, they laugh at you behind your back, they think you’re stupid. They don’t want to hang out with you. They have nothing in common with you. They’re not your bros," he said.

“When Trump years ago said, ‘I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and they’d still vote for me,’ basically what he is saying is that these people are so dumb and so stupid they’d still vote for him," he added. "They have no respect for you, trust me.”

Democrats have been panicking over poll results showing that the massive gender gap is pushing former President Donald Trump's campaign closer to the victory column. In response, the Harris campaign issued last-minute policies meant to bolster support among black men and Latino men, but those efforts were mocked and ridiculed as racist pandering by many.

Keaton is best known for portraying the comic book hero Batman in a series of movies in the '80s, but he most recently revived his popular "Beetlejuice" character in a Tim Burton-directed sequel.

Dave Chappelle says celebrities — not Obama staffers — left ‘dirty notes’ for incoming Trump administration



Comedian Dave Chappelle says that celebrities — and not Obama staffers — left "dirty notes" for former President Donald Trump's incoming team in 2017.

In 2019, Trump administration officials said they believe that former President Barack Obama's aides left "taunting notes" behind in the White House to greet Trump, The Wrap reports.

What are the details?

Chappelle, who appeared on model Naomi Campbell's YouTube series "No Filter with Naomi," said that he witnessed celebrities penning nasty notes for the incoming Trump team.

The comedian, who was attending one of the final White House events thrown by the Obama administration, said that he saw some celebrities "leaving 'dirty notes' for the incoming Trump administration."

He did not divulge where, specifically, the celebrities left the notes in question other than to state that the notes were placed in White House drawers and cabinets.

“Remember when the Trump administration moved in, they said 'The Obama staff left dirty notes for us in all the drawers and all the cabinets,'" Chappelle told Campbell. “Now, I saw this happening. I'm not going to say who did it. But it was celebrities, writing all this crazy s*** and putting them all over there. And I saw them doing it, so when I saw it on the news I laughed real hard."

In 2019, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said that the notes included sentiments such as "You aren't going to make it" and "You will fail."

"Every office was filled with Obama books, and we had notes left behind that said, 'You will fail, you aren't going to make it,'" Grisham at the time. "In the press office, there was a big note taped to the door that said, 'You will fail.'"

Former Obama aides at the time insisted they had nothing to do with the notes left for the Trump administration at the White House, and said that such notes didn't even exist.
