To the stars vowing to flee Trump’s America: maybe your excruciating endorsements were part of the problem
The cringeworthy campaign for Harris made it clear – voters aren’t simply going to do what mega-rich celebrities tell them to
Iwish celebrities would learn the art of the French exit. But they can’t, which is why Eva Longoria has announced she no longer lives in America. “I get to escape and go somewhere,” she explained. “Most Americans aren’t so lucky – they’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country.” What’s brought this on, apart from the obvious? “Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes … it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.” Great to learn that Eva dislikes both homelessness and taxes. America’s loss of this major political thinker is some other country’s gain – and this highly called-for intervention reminds us why celebrities should speak their brains even more often. If only into a pillow, or an abyss.
When even the Guardian turns on you!

Zelensky says war will ‘end sooner’ with Trump as president
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is certain the war with Russia will “end sooner” than it otherwise would have once Donald Trump becomes US president.
Zelensky said he had a “constructive exchange” with Trump during their phone conversation after his victory in the US presidential election.
He did not say whether Trump had made any demands regarding possible talks with Russia, but said he’d not heard anything from him that was contrary to Ukraine’s position.
How Remembrance Day and politics collided — and what it means for the future
One of the most revered days in the Canadian calendar was caught up in controversy this week as a debate raged over the appropriateness of playing an Arabic song and invoking the transatlantic slave trade during Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has accused some event organizers of being too “woke” and defiling a day meant to mourn war dead and pay respect to Canadian soldiers, sailors and airmen who fought to protect the country.
Remembrance Day is not about Islamists and their imaginary idol Mohammed the child molester nor is it about Canada’s imaginary guilt for imaginary slavery etc etc etc..
Staten Island bakery customers batter Whoopi Goldberg for dubious claim that she wasn’t served due to her liberal views: ‘Bulls–t’
New Yorkers aren’t letting Whoopi Goldberg’s sourpuss act spoil their favorite spot for sweet treats, after she put a local bakery on blast on national TV, alleging they refused to serve her because of her lefty political beliefs.
“I think it’s ridiculous. Why would she come all the way to Staten Island for her cupcake? To make an issue? They’ve been here forever,” Deborah Bernaz, 68, said of the comic’s claims against the beloved 145-year-old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island.
WTF?
The future is now!

Former special forces soldier ‘Canadian Dave’ taken by the Taliban: sources
David Lavery, a former Canadian special forces soldier who helped approximately 100 people flee Afghanistan during the fall of Kabul, has been “picked up” by the Taliban this week, according to multiple sources who spoke to CTV National News on the condition of anonymity.

Trans Americans brace for Trump’s ‘sinister’ return: ‘It’s almost intolerable’
This weekend, Atticus Sparks plans to attend a six-hour concealed weapons permit class. He’s not a gun person, but as an 18-year-old trans man, he’s concerned he might someday need to own one, “just in case”. Since Donald Trump’s election, Sparks has faced online threats of violence and sexual assault from the president-elect’s supporters.
“Hopefully I won’t ever need a gun,” Sparks, who lives in South Carolina, said. “But everyone here is so pro-gun. I work across from a gun store, and I always see people carrying around loaded rifles.”
Along with taking his concealed carry class, Sparks faces the more banal tasks of making sure all of his documentation is in order. This week, he met with an advocate about getting his name legally changed but was told that due to the sluggish pace of family court, he probably won’t get a court date until next summer.
WTF?

UK must treat Trump like a ‘best mate’ who needs correcting, says Sadiq Khan
Sadiq Khan has said the UK should treat Donald Trump like a “best mate” who sometimes needs to be corrected or challenged.
Labour’s Mayor of London, a fierce critic of the President-elect, also said Britain should extend the “hand of friendship” to Mr Trump as he prepares to return to the White House in January.
Mr Khan claimed in the High Performance podcast recorded just before the US election that Mr Trump had criticised him in the past because the Republican was “racist”.
WTF?
This is not a hate crime according to the authorities.
