George Clooney feels he is being used as a ‘scapegoat’ in the furious blame game over who could have cost Kamala Harris the election – and will now take a step back from politics. The Hollywood star, 63, threw his support behind Harris after penning a blistering op-ed on why Joe Biden would cost the Democrats the win if he didn’t abandon his campaign, but it still wasn’t enough to prevent an historic victory for Donald Trump. Clooney has since been criticized by Democrats for his influence during the election, with some claiming Harris' loss was his fault.

Nice looking. But I never considered him a deep thinker. He has a politically correct wife, and lots of money. Therefore, he has gravitas with lo-fo’s and needy politicians.

Poor George Porgie....kissed the Dems and made him cry! Ok - you chose the losing side. They blame you. The least you can do is stand up for what you said you believed in instead of pouting because they blame you! Maybe you should learn something from this. When President Trump lost last time, we still stood behind him! Of course he didn't look at us and blame us!

Go easy on yourself, George. His internal pollsters saw a 400-delegate blowout coming. And no one person is responsible for what happened. It was the culmination of actions by hundreds of democrat operatives over several years, starting with the ballot fraud on Election Evening 2020 and then catalyzed by all the EO rollbacks on Day One in January 2021. You had nothing to do with any of that.

They are turning on each other. Eating their own. It is beautiful to behold. Thank you President Trump, not only for saving the country and world from annihilation , but for this incredible entertainment as they all implode. Bill and Hill are remarkably quiet. So far they're not getting blamed so they're keeping their mouths shut. We may never hear Kamala's voice again until she has to certify Trump's win on January 6. Now that's Karma. Late night, the View, Mika and Joe, Maddow, all of Hollywood, Pelosi, Clooney, Obama, MIchelle, Oprah, Jack Smith, Letitia James,, Wray, Mayorkas, Austin-the list is endless.

New Jersey firefighters are still battling nine intense wildfires that have left a teenager dead and the region blanketed in a thick fog of smoke — although Mother Nature’s overnight rains might help quell the blazes. The massive deadly fire in rural West Milford near the New York border was the largest that still raged Sunday, while smoke-eaters seemed to be getting a handle on suburban blazes in Passaic County’s Pompton Lakes and Englewood Cliffs in Bergen County, reports said. The West Milford blaze — which began near Greenwood Lake — has consumed several thousand acres in New York and New Jersey and is the most widespread

He won it bigly. President-elect Donald Trump has nabbed the highest raw count of the popular vote of any Republican presidential hopeful ever, according to projections of the 2024 election. As of Sunday morning, Trump clinched 74,650,000 popular votes, eclipsing his prior record of 74,224,000 votes in the 2020 election, per the Associated Press. At the moment, that puts the incoming president ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris’ 70.9 million votes — though there is still a large swath of votes uncounted, including in California which has an estimated 66% of the vote tabulated. Other states, including Alaska, Arizona, Maryland, Oregon and Utah still have outstanding votes.

A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor told disaster relief workers in Florida to “avoid homes” with signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency confirmed Friday. The FEMA official — Marn’i Washington — conveyed her edict both verbally and in a Microsoft Teams chat used by relief workers canvassing Lake Placid homes ravaged by Hurricane Milton last month, according to the Daily Wire. “Avoid homes advertising Trump,” Washington wrote in a “best practices” memo to employees. The order was the second bullet point in a list instructing workers to not go “anywhere alone,” practice “de-escalation,” stay hydrated and to “follow the rules.”
