POTUS calls for "major investigation" of Kamala regarding "unlawful" celebrity endorsements


Donald Trump, never one to shy away from a megaphone, took to Truth Social Monday morning, hammering out a call for a “major investigation” into Kamala Harris. 

The President is alleging that Harris shelled out cash to snag endorsements from big names like Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé during her failed presidential run. Trump’s not just tossing pebbles here—he’s lobbing boulders, accusing Harris of straight-up illegal payoffs.

Here’s the man himself, in all-caps glory: “HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO??? I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter.”

And I doubt that he's kidding.

Trump doubled down, claiming Hahaharris broke the law by masking these payments as “entertainment” gigs. “Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment,” he wrote. 

“In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic ‘entertainers,’ this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!” 

You can almost hear the keyboard groaning under the weight of those exclamation points.

Now, let’s zoom in on Springsteen, who strummed his way into this mess at a Harris rally in Atlanta back in October.  

The Boss has been using his stage time to take swings at Trump’s administration. At a recent gig in England, he let rip: “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!” 

Sounds like Bruce isn’t just singing about the Promised Land—he’s preaching against Trump’s and he has no receipts to support his blather. I mean, where's the treason?

But here’s where it gets sticky. The Harris campaign’s been under the microscope before for funneling hefty sums to celebrity production companies. The Washington Free Beacon dug up some dirt last month, reporting that Harris’s team dropped $50,000 on LeBron James’s production company for “campaign event production.” LeBron didn’t show up to any rallies, mind you, but he did post a video endorsing Harris and tossing a racism jab at Trump. 

Then there’s Beyoncé’s production company, which pocketed $165,000, and Oprah’s, which raked in a cool $100,000,000. Beyoncé gave a quick speech at a Houston event, while Oprah sat down with Harris for a Chicago interview. Trump is betting that it isn't a coincidence.

So, what’s the deal? Is this just Trump stirring the pot, or did Harris’s campaign play fast and loose with the rulebook? The truth’s probably somewhere in the gray, but one thing’s clear: when you’ve got this much star power and cash changing hands, people are going to talk. 

And Donald Trump has the loudest mic.

Kamala Hahaharris begs for money to bail out her dismal campaign annihilation

"Can you help out? Your money will bail me out this time."

Instead of trying to raise money to bail out Minnesota Freedom Fund protesters who were jailed for protesting illegally after George Floyd's death, now Kamala Harris, the failed Democratic presidential candidate and currently MIA VP is trying to raise $20 million for the overspending she created in her campaign expenditures. It seems like $1,500,000,000 wasn't enough to blow in just 15 weeks.

Of that money wasted away, more than $654,000,000 was spent on ads from July 22 to Election Day, and there were high-profile events with paid celebrities on the eve of the election costing over $10,000,000. The incredibly Reverend Al "You're a Racist" Sharpton's organization got two payments of $250,000, Oprah's company, Harpo Productions, got about $2,500,000 to endorse the cackling loser, Megan Thee Stallion was allegedly paid $5,000,000 and she didn't even perform Wet A** Pu**y for the crowd. Then there was Eminem who allegedly received $1,800,000 and a woman named Beyoncé allegedly receiving $10,000,000. And finally, who can forget Lizzo who may have received $3,000,000, but there was no clear evidence to support that claim.

But with all that money in the Democrat's coffers, Kamala Harris ended up being $20,000,000 in debt. And that's because it was never her money to spend--it was her donors' and many of them are pissed.

Now the alleged Vice President is still trying to extort donors for money, weeks after her landslide loss, leaving supporters spent.


“With Trump nominating MAGA loyalists left and right, there is nothing more important than making sure we can fight back and hold him accountable,” read an email from Kamala HQ, the New York Post reported.  “That’s why we need you to step up today. Yes, today.”

“Our records show that you haven’t pitched in to support our Harris Fight Fund program yet,” the missive scolded. “We know the election didn’t turn out as we’d hoped, but we’re not backing down.” 

The nonstop squeegie panhandling was pure Harris as it alienated Democrats who donated and/or voted for her. She has absolutely no political instincts nor the common sense to use common sense.

“Getting fundraising requests after any candidate has lost, when they admit that they are still millions of dollars in debt, having blown through over a billion dollars … is especially galling,” Democratic strategist Jon Reinish told the newspaper.

“When I got yet another request form the Harris campaign for me to pony up. Quiet frankly I thought it was insulting,” Reinish added.

More than half a billion dollars went to just four well-connected Democratic media consulting shops, according to records and reports. 

Money well wasted.

None of Harris’ funding emails mention any of the spending or the campaign committee’s alleged financial woes.

MSNBC/MSDNC anchors face huge pay cuts as Comcast severs ties with network



Comcast is finally pulling the plug on MSNBC, the media giant announced this Wednesday. This is tough luck for the overpaid and increasingly out-of-touch anchors who work there (temporarily). MSNBC, along with other cable channels that aren't doing so well, but not Bravo which is all about reality TV, will be turned into a separate company that anyone can buy stock in by the end of next year. This means MSNBC will no longer be part of the supposedly more serious and neutral NBC News, which often shares stories, fact-checking (take that with a grain of salt), and guest commentators with MSNBC. Comcast executives informed MSNBC employees on Wednesday that the channel might lose its name and the iconic peacock logo after this split. Plus, those huge p

The decision hints that Comcast's bigwigs can no longer explain to their investors why they keep paying top dollar to stars like Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough, and Joy Reid. Even though MSNBC and other cable channels owned by Comcast still bring in cash, their earnings have dropped a lot lately. That's why the higher-ups and those with money in the company are looking to dump what they call "declining assets." When word got out about the plan on Tuesday, Comcast's stock went up after the market closed. The hosts at MSNBC have done well for themselves, making big bucks by stirring up political fervor for a shrinking crowd of older folks. After this year's election, in prime time, MSNBC only managed to pull in 65,000 viewers aged 25-54, which is less than 10% of their total audience.

"This is sort of a very clear, direct statement by Comcast," Rich Greenfield, cofounder of the research firm LightShed Partners, told CNBC, which, by the way, is also being spun off into the new entity. "They are exiting the cable network business. This is them saying we don’t want to be in this business. This is no longer a growth business. It’s going to be around for a long time, but it’s just no longer a growth business."

After MSNBC and its related channels like USA, E!, and Oprah's Oxygen are spun off into their own company, the new bosses will likely seize the chance to streamline operations by laying off employees and cutting pay. The ridiculous situation where MSNBC anchors rake in millions to talk about extreme topics like Hitler to a shrinking crowd of just tens of thousands in total, and even fewer in the key 25-54 age group, will come to an end. Sure, some of the big names might talk about leaving, but their options are limited. CNN? Forget it. They're already in the process of downsizing too. The days of easy money are over, and frankly, most people in America don't seem too upset about it.

Here's a peek at a few of the outrageous MSNBC anchor salaries that executives at the new, yet-to-be-named media company are likely to cut dramatically:

Rachel Maddow [aka Madcow]

Once MSNBC and other channels like USA, E!, and Oprah's Oxygen become their own separate company, the new leaders will probably jump at the chance to make the business more efficient by letting some people go and drastically reduce salaries. The crazy part where MSNBC hosts get paid big bucks for discussing over-the-top subjects like Hitler to only a few thousand viewers, and even less in the important 25-54 age group, will be over. Sure, some famous hosts might think about quitting, but their choices are slim. CNN? No way. They're already cutting back. The era of making easy money is done, and honestly, most Americans aren't too bothered by it.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski [aka Mr. and Mrs. Scarborough

They'll say or do just about anything to boost their ratings and promote themselves. This big-shot couple at MSNBC, known for being bullies, sneaky, looking out for themselves, and being total hypocrites, just went to Mar-a-Lago to meet President-elect Trump. Remember, these are the same people who called him a "racist" and "fascist" like Hitler during the election. They probably got a huge pay deal like Rachel Maddow did. Scarborough, in particular, has gotten really out of touch. Scarborough claimed that the current Joe Biden was sharpest ever, which was clearly not true, especially since Biden's debate went so badly it made him quit the 2024 race. Despite once criticizing Al Sharpton for his anti-Semitic remarks, Scarborough often has him on to talk about stuff, even anti-Semitism.

Chris Hayes [aka Rachel Maddow-ish]

Chris Hayes, often referred to by his colleagues as "the male Rachel Maddow" but without her knack for reading from a teleprompter, tries to copy her smug attitude and factual inaccuracies. He's also facing a defamation lawsuit. When Hayes isn't disrespecting the military or advocating for transgender surgeries for kids, he's good at pushing racially charged comments on his show. Recently, he sat there, nodding, while Sherrilyn Ifill, ex-president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, made unsubstantiated claims that Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for Defense Secretary, was a white supremacist. This was too much even for Michael LaRosa, a long-time Democratic strategist and ex-MSNBC producer, who commented, "This stuff has to stop," pointing out that such rhetoric contributed to political losses.

Joy Reid

Joy Reid, who a lot of corporate leaders would probably want to get rid of because she's a political risk, actually got a promotion in 2020. This was even after she tried to say her old blog was "hacked" when people found old posts that were homophobic and anti-Semitic. Since then, her influence at MSNBC, a network that obviously doesn't have a problem with anti-Semitism, has just gotten bigger, but her show has turned into a platform for extreme racial issues and all sorts of wild claims. She brings on so called "experts" who say Republicans are making it impossible for Black people to vote, has accused Republicans of teaching people about "inflation," and recently criticized Latino men for voting for Trump, saying they're betraying their own race and families. None of this is based in reality and is itself racist.

Al Sharpton [aka Sharptongue]

Although Sharpton's official salary isn't high, people argue he's a race baiting idiot and is still getting too much, considering his controversial past. He was behind the 1991 Crown Heights riots, a major anti-Semitic event in America. Yet, the make-believe Reverend still collects a paycheck. The Kamala Harris campaign gave $500,000 to his group, the National Action Network, right before Sharpton had a cozy chat with Harris on his MSNBC show. This group is pretty cozy with MSNBC's head, Rashida Jones, who got a special award from them in 2021 and 2024.

Nicolle Wallace

Nicolle Wallace, who used to work for the Republicans but switched sides when she moved to New York and started getting paid to criticize them, is famous for pushing the narrative around Michael Avenatti, who was later convicted. She's adored by the #Resistance crowd, often having "experts" on her show who compare January 6 to the 9/11 attacks, saying the former was worse. After her 2019 divorce, Wallace started dating Michael Schmidt from the New York Times, who's been on her show a lot. (They're now married.) Schmidt is working on a Netflix show with Noah Oppenheim, the former NBC News president who's been accused of stopping Ronan Farrow from reporting on Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct.

NBC News

NBC News, which will stay under Comcast's wing, is thought to be in trouble by those in the know. There's a chance they'll have to let some people go and lower the huge salaries of their anchors to make up for the money they'll lose from MSNBC and CNBC. The network itself isn't doing so great either. The Today show, their biggest money-maker, has lost a ton of viewers over the years, and Nightly News with Lester Holt, who reportedly makes about $10 million annually, has seen its ratings in the key 25-54 demographic drop by half since 2018. After the split, Comcast might decide to scale down NBC News, which could mean less pay for stars like Holt and Savannah Guthrie, who makes around $18 million for hosting the Today show. Interestingly, Guthrie is married to Michael Feldman, a Democratic strategist who used to work with Al Gore.

Tim Walz is upset that JD Vance went to Yale


Tim "Tampon" Walz, the Democratic VP pick by Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, got extremely ticked off about Republican VP pick by Donald Trump, over the fact that Vance went to Yale, in spite of him being poor and pulling great grades at Ohio State. In fact, Walz is even miffed about Vance going to Ohio State, but the fact that he went on to Yale just shows us what an elitist he is.

It isn't as if someone born into a dirt-poor circumstance with a drug-addicted mother should be able to pull himself out of poverty and attend any school; but Yale? How dare he! Vance even wrote a book acclaimed by none other than Oprah at the time, and they made it into a movie, "Hillbilly Elegy."

Walz tried to paint Vance as "weird," when it seems to be the other way around. I mean, have you seen Walz wave at crowds, shake hands with his wife, call to have Tampons put in the boys bathrooms at Minnesota schools, lie about his military rank and bail out of going with his men to Iraq? Walz stood by while Minneapolis burned during the George Floyd riots, and he allowed to have the Third Precinct Police Station be taken over and destroyed by the BLM terrorists.

But when you got nothing to attack Vance with, you call him weird while it's your Party offering free abortions and vasectomies at the DNC convention.

JD Vance is a product of the American Dream and really hard to attack.

The best Walz could muster was: "I had 24 kids in my high school class and none of them went to Yale."

So? What does that mean other than the fact that none of them went to Yale. 

And maybe they haven't been to Europe.

Kemp announces probe into his Democratic foe Abrams for cyber crimes

Georgia secretary of state Brian Kemp (R) is in a close gubernatorial race with Stacey Abrams (D) just hours before Tuesday's election. Kemp announced a probe into the Democratic Party for "possible cyber crimes" and ironically, it's his office that would be doing the investigating in this case, it was announced Sunday.

The polls show the two candidates are neck-and-neck--it's a toss-up at this point.

"Federal partners" and the Department of Homeland Security and FBI have been notified as well about the "failed attempt to hack the states' voter registration system" as of Saturday night, Kemp's office said.

Kemp Press Secretary Candice Broce said in a press release: "While we cannot comment on the specifics of an ongoing investigation, I can confirm that the Democratic Party of Georgia is under investigation for possible cyber crimes. We can also confirm that no personal data was breached and our system remains secure."

Naturally this was met with self-righteous indignation by the left. A spokeswoman for the Georgia Democratic Party was as angry as a hornet caught between the cheeks of a donkey writing that the "scurrilous claims are 100 percent false" and badmouthed the probe as "another example of abuse of power" by the secretary of state.

Both the FBI and Kemp's office didn't immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

Kemp said he wouldn't recuse himself as Georgia's secretary of state if his race goes to a recount, in spite of the fact that it's his office that oversees recounts. Imagine the fun if it does and he wins.

"This political stunt from Kemp just days before the election is yet another example of why he cannot be trusted and should not be overseeing an election in which he is also a candidate for governor," Georgia Democratic Party executive director Rebecca DeHart said in a statement.

Speaking Sunday on the Comedy News Network's "State of the Union," Abrams echoed that criticism, and accused Kemp of constantly trying to suppress votes.

I do see their point about Kemp recusing himself because if it was the other way around, and it was the Republican Party being scrutinized, I'd want a separate office doing the investigating.

However, that doesn't mean that the Democrats are not guilty, but Kemp's office better hurry up--the election starts Tuesday morning.

It's funny, however, I wouldn't be totally surprised if it was Oprah or Obama who messed with the system.

On Friday, a federal judge struck down Kemp's implementation of the states' "exact match" voting requirements whereby voters whose registrations differed in any way from their identifications to provide additional verification. Under Kemp, the requirements imposed stringent requirements of people suspected of being in the country illegally.

The Democrats are counting on illegal voters and they're trying to get here by the caravan load.

Joy Behar implies Oprah is 'mentally ill'

Mega star Joy Behar of "The View" has implied that Oprah is mentally ill because she claims to speak and hear from God. 

Behar, whose psychiatric credentials are under review, has made the same brave claim about Vice President Mike Pence when he claimed to speak with Jesus. 

It all began after Oprah spoke at the Golden Globe Awards after receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement of making lots of money and giving stuff away. 

She made a speech that made the country sit up and take notice. The speech almost made it sound as if Oprah would be running for president in 2020 and the nation was all hyped up.

Now the TV star says that she spoke with God and He told her to just keep doing all the great stuff she's doing now and forget about running for president of the most powerful country on the planet.

"I was just trying to give a good speech," she said. "I was looking for a way to express what was going on in this moment in terms of gender and class and race. I cared about landing that speech in the room."

Because that's what entertainers do.
"Everybody gets a car!"

But outside the room, Oprah said campaign financiers took notice.


"I had a lot of wealthy men calling, telling me that they would run my campaign and raise one billion dollars for me," she said. "I think that when you have that many people whose opinions you value coming at you, it's worthy of thinking about."

But the woman with the eating disorder wasn't done. She told CBS's "Overtime" that she has not heard the call to higher office: "And wouldn't I know? Because if God actually wanted me to run, wouldn't God kinda tell me? And I haven't heard that," she said, but she's waiting for His 'go-ahead.'

In the meanwhile, Joy Behar is in the process of having Oprah committed to a mental institution "for her own good," Joy said joylessly. "If it's good enough for Pence, it's good enough for Oprah."

Angry First Lady on Oprah speaks gloom and doom

The end of the world is upon us--I hate when that happens. 

It's especially troubling when our leaders or their wives confirm our worst fears . . . we are all going to die, or something worse, Barack Obama is no longer going to be our president.

Angry First Lady Michelle Obama is saying to us all that we have lost hope now that Donald Trump has become our next president after all that "hope and change" her impotent husband promised.

"We feel the difference now," she said on Oprah Winfrey, forgetting that Donald Trump was voted in as president and he is who America wants leading the country instead of another term of her husband's failed socialism. "What do you do if you don't have hope, Oprah?" she asked.

I say leave the country. Go. Get your lazy fat butt on a plane and never come back. Take your useless husband with you too.

The full interview is scheduled for Monday on CBS-TV and will be brought to you by Planned Parenthood, an Obama-funded corporation, and Untied Barf Bags, "the barf bag with a handy string."

The Silver Sterling Decision

Nyah nyah, I can't hear you
Donald Sterling's justice has been meted out. He has been banned from the NBA for life (which is probably not that long, when you think about it) and is not allowed to participate in any of the owner decision-making in the league.

Adam Silver made the announcement a little past 2 pm today and his words were clear and direct. Sterling will be fined $2.5 million and possibly be forced to sell the team due to the racist remarks he made that were caught on tape, a la John "Apartheid" Kerry's faux pas.

Sterling told Silver that it was his voice on the tape in an interview they had before the press conference. It was the only Sterling Silver conference the two men had prior to press conference Silver gave regarding Sterling's punishment.

If Sterling sells the team, which he said that he does not want to do, he will make an enormous profit as the team's worth may be more than $500 million. At this time, Magic Johnson has said that he will not be buying the team, and Oprah Winfrey is also saying the same thing.

If You Believe Lance, I Have a Bridge for Sale

They are our heroes. They run faster, bike harder, catch better than most everyone else on the planet, and perform amazing feats with their bodies that we can only dream of doing ourselves. And for that we pay them millions of dollars and exalt them to the heavens. Athletes. They represent our country in competition, and define who we are as a culture.

Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire and probably hundreds, if not thousands of other professional athletes who have used performance enhancing drugs. They do this to win and they excuse it by saying "Everyone else is doing it, so I do it to even out the playing field." But everyone else doesn't do it because human nature isn't so dark that we all would lower ourselves to cheat in order to win. But yes, many athletes cheat because  it pays off if they don't get caught.

We have been taught to cheat by our coaches too. Not necessarily with performance enhancing drugs, but with lying. Look at the wide receiver who knows he dropped the ball or used the ground to catch it who will swear the catch was clean. I can go on with myriad examples, but you get my point.

It wasn't Armstrong's cheating that was the worst part of the story, it was his lying, then accusing, then suing those who rightly accused him. Lance Armstrong is a bully and now has gone on Oprah to advance his career once again. I will not fall for it and I hope you won't either.
