Rosie O’Donnell floats bizarre conspiracy theory about Elon Musk after fleeing US after election

Rosie O’Donnell has suggested the 2024 presidential election may have been stolen during her first Irish television interview since leaving the United States for Ireland.

The famously outspoken comedian and former talk show host spoke with Patrick Kielty on Friday’s The Late Late Show on the Irish channel RTE One in which she implicated tech billionaire Elon Musk without naming him directly.

‘I question why for the first time in American history, a president has won every swing state and his largest donor was a man who owns and runs the internet,’ O’Donnell said.  

‘I would hope that would be investigated,’ she added. ‘Whether or not it was an anomaly… or something else that happened on election night in America.’

O’Donnell told Kielty how she found Trump’s win strange because then-Vice President Kamala Harris was ‘filling up stadiums with people who supported her and Donald Trump was not able to do that.’ 

Now self-exiled in Ireland, O’Donnell explained how she fled the US following what she calls a ‘terrifying’ sequence of political events. 

‘The president of the United States has it out for me,’ she said, referring to Donald Trump, with whom she’s had a public feud spanning decades. 

She explained how her critique of Trump’s bankruptcies and sexual assault allegations on TV show The View had made her a long-term target.

WAYNE ROOT: Back in 2015, I Wrote, “Is Supreme Court Justice John Roberts Being Blackmailed?” This Question is as Valid Today as a Decade Ago.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Way back in 2015, I asked in one of my nationally-syndicated columns, if Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts was being blackmailed?

I laid out the case. It seemed obvious to me that he was either being blackmailed, or bribed, or he was a fraud from day one- a Deep State, liberal plant disguised as a “conservative” put in place to vote the wrong way on key issues.

Because Justice Roberts always votes against us, against the obvious conservative decision, for most, if not all, of the important, life-or-death decisions that change this country’s direction.

Look at the record.

Roberts voted to protect and save the Obamacare disaster and scam- TWICE. That destroyed the entire healthcare system of the United States.

Roberts voted against asking about citizenship in the census; he voted against Texas being allowed to secure its own border with razor wire; he voted against Texas having standing to challenge the 2020 election; he just voted against the Trump administration’s attempt to withhold pay from USAID contractors- which of course, protects the Deep State’s fraud, waste, looting and abuse of taxpayers.

And now just a day ago, Roberts publicly rebuked and rejected President Trump’s desire to see an out-of-control federal judge impeached for trying to stop the deportation of illegal alien gangbangers who have committed the worst crimes in our country.

Roberts tried to intimidate Trump and fool the nation. The Supreme Court has nothing to do with the impeachment of a judge. Only Congress can decide that.

Again, I ask, “Who’s side is Roberts on?” Because he sure isn’t on the side of conservative patriots.

Again, I ask, “Is Justice John Roberts being blackmailed?”

Here is my column from 2015. Compare it to what’s happening today. Nothing has changed in a decade.

Dr. Leana Wen Admits Some COVID ‘Conspiracy Theories’ Were Actually True

Dr. Leana Wen, a former CNN medical analyst who famously stated that “the unvaccinated should not be allowed to leave their homes,” is now admitting that Covid dissenters should have been allowed to ask questions.

Wen, in a recent video, addresses the fact that many people had questions, particularly about the Covid vaccine, but were afraid to ask those questions because they might be told that their concerns were simply conspiracy theories.

In that video, Wen admits that concerns that were raised about the vaccine’s impact on women’s menstrual cycles are supported by studies that “have shown that there may be some changes to the menstrual period in the short term.”

Wen also conceded that questions about natural immunity from infection were summarily dismissed during the first two years of the pandemic because medical officials didn’t want people to be exposed through what she termed “chicken pox parties” where people could be infected all at once.

According to Wen, medical experts now admit that a person who has been infected with Covid does enjoy short term immunity benefits, saying, “It’s also true that … you do get some degree of pretty good immunity after having infection.”

Wen says Covid dissenters should have been able to ask questions and that she would have answered them.

The turnaround is a sharp contrast to Wen’s harsh earlier stances taken during her regular appearances on CNN as a medical analyst, her opinion pieces for the Washington Post and her time as a guest contributor for NPR, PBS, BBC, and MSNBC.

What If The America You Pledge Allegiance To Isn’t The One Running The Show?

What if the America you pledge allegiance to isn’t the one running the show? This investigation examines how America’s governance system fundamentally transformed since 1871 through a documented pattern of legal, financial, and administrative changes. The evidence reveals a gradual shift from constitutional principles toward corporate-style management structures – not through a single event, but through an accumulation of incremental changes spanning generations that have quietly restructured the relationship between citizens and government.

This analysis prioritizes primary sources, identifies patterns across multiple domains rather than isolated events, and examines timeline correlations – particularly noting how crises often preceded centralization initiatives. By examining primary sources including Congressional records, Treasury documents, Supreme Court decisions, and international agreements, we identify how:

  • Legal language and frameworks evolved from natural rights toward commercial principles
  • Financial sovereignty transferred incrementally from elected representatives to banking interests
  • Administrative systems increasingly mediated the relationship between citizens and government

This evidence prompts a fundamental reexamination of modern sovereignty, citizenship, and consent in ways that transcend traditional political divisions. For the average American, these historical transformations have concrete implications. The administrative systems created between 1871-1933 structure daily life through financial obligations, identification requirements, and regulatory compliance that operate largely independent of electoral changes. Understanding this history illuminates why citizens often feel disconnected from governance despite formal democratic processes – the systems managing key aspects of modern life (monetary policy, administrative regulation, citizen identification) were designed to operate with substantial independence from direct citizen control.

While mainstream interpretations of these developments emphasize practical governance needs and economic stability, the documented patterns suggest the possibility of more fundamental changes in America’s constitutional structure deserving closer scrutiny.

I stumbled across a peculiar reference to the 1871 Act while browsing on Twitter. The post suggested that the United States had undergone a secret legal transformation in 1871, converting it from a constitutional republic into a corporate entity where citizens were treated more like assets than sovereigns. What caught my attention wasn’t the claim itself, but how confidently it was stated – as if this fundamental transformation of America was common knowledge.

‘They slaughtered us like fish in a barrel’—citizen reporter exposes Vegas massacre coverup…

The 2017 Las Vegas massacre is one of the deadliest mass shootings in US history—yet, it’s also one of the most mysterious and tightly guarded. Officially, we’re told that 64-year-old Stephen Paddock acted alone, firing over 1,000 rounds into a packed music festival crowd from his Mandalay Bay hotel suite. He slaughtered 60 people and injured hundreds more before turning the gun on himself.

That’s the “official story.”

Just 10 days ago, Glenn Beck released a video on this very topic. FBI whistleblower Steve Friend sat down with Glenn and shared his theory on what really went down with the Las Vegas shooter: “I think that Stephen Paddock was probably working with some government agency, was selling weapons to a terrorist organization, laundering it through the casino…and then, he happened to sell to the wrong people who perpetuated the attack at that moment.”

But after nearly seven years, a lot of big questions linger. No clear motive was ever established, the timelines don’t add up, key evidence mysteriously disappeared, and the media suddenly dropped the story just two weeks after the massacre. Put it all together, and it reeks of something bigger—like the American people are being kept in the dark. Again…

Enter Mindy Robinson, an actress, model, citizen investigative journalist, and Las Vegas local who has spent years investigating the massacre and the deep-seated corruption swirling around it. Mindy has uncovered a disturbing web of government cover-ups, shady law enforcement officials, and a political power structure that’s been working overtime to keep the truth buried from you.

In a powerful X post, Mindy is exposing links between key players involved in the shooting, their ties to corruption in Nevada, and how this case—like so many others—has been swept under the rug.

So, what really happened that night in Vegas? And why does the government seem more interested in burying the story than solving the crime?

Bizarre and Outlandish Claims and Conspiracies of the Moon

There is little doubt that the Moon is one of the most fascinating objects in the night sky. It is also at the center of some of the most outrageous and bizarre claims and conspiracies on record, not least just why NASA has not returned since the last moon landing in December 1972. Some of these conspiracies suggest there are the remains of alien bases and technology on the Moon, while others go even further and suggest there is an extraterrestrial presence on our cosmic satellite. Some researchers have even suggested that the Moon is not a natural satellite at all, but some kind of mechanical construct designed and built at an unknown location and placed in orbit by an unknown intelligence.

The fact is, though, even without these conspiracies, the Moon is a celestial body full of anomalies. While some people might be familiar with them, before we explore some of these outrageous conspiracies and claims of our celestial satellite, it is worth quickly going over some of the truly anomalous facts about the Moon.

It is, for example, exactly 400 times smaller than the sun, and its distance from the Earth, relative to the overall distance to the sun, is also exactly 1/400th. It is worth noting that these figures are not approximate – they are exact. It is because of these astounding dimensions that total eclipses are experienced here on Earth. Moreover, if these dimensions were out in any way whatsoever, this wouldn’t be possible. Incidentally, we should also take note that the chances of these specific dimensions occurring naturally are zillions to one. What’s more, these figures and dimensions are not seen in any other known moon. Even its perfectly circular orbit is unique (most moons’ orbits are elliptical) and its rotation around the planet is such that one side permanently remains hidden from us.

Looking a little closer, the many craters on the lunar surface create further problems in our understanding of the Moon. These craters, of which there are many, are for the most part, very similar in depth, and relatively shallow at that. In terms of our understanding of modern science, these craters should be much more varied, with at least some showing greater depth at the impact point, which should be the outcome for a naturally formed rocky terrestrial body. Many researchers suggest that it is the absolute high velocity of the meteor strikes that creates these crater anomalies. However, the actual reason for this, at least according to some researchers, both inside and outside the mainstream, is because the Moon is not naturally occurring at all, but a hollow object with a metallic “casing” beneath an artificial rocky surface.  

Perhaps one of the most interesting considerations is how the Moon came to orbit the Earth in the first place. Accepted thinking suggests a small planet or large moon collided with Earth millions of years ago, causing the Moon to form out of the debris of such a collision, which then settled into its current orbit. However, not only because of the remarkable zillion-to-one dimensions and distances of the Moon we highlighted earlier but also because of several other anomalies, many people question just how true it is that the Moon was simply a “happy accident” and a product of coincidence. In fact, some people have even questioned if the Moon was purposely “placed” into orbit, perhaps even by an unknown intelligence. Author William Roy Shelton stated:

“It is important to remember that something had to put the moon in or near its current circular pattern around the Earth. It is very unlikely that any object just stumbles on the right combination of factors needed to help an object stay in orbit. ‘Something’ had to put the moon on its altitude, on its course and speed. The question is, what was that ‘something?”

Issac Asimov, a Russian professor of biochemistry, made similar comments when he wrote:

“… we cannot help but come to the conclusion that the Moon, by rights, ought not to be there. The fact that it is, is one of those strokes of luck almost too good to accept…Small planets, such as Earth, with weak gravitational fields, might well lack satellites…In general, then, when a planet does have satellites, those satellites are much smaller than the planet itself. Therefore, there would be every reason to suspect (the Moon) would be a tiny world, perhaps 30 miles…but it is a giant satellite, 2,160 miles in diameter. How is it, then, that tiny Earth has one?”

There are plenty of other people who have expressed similar sentiments. NASA scientist, Robin Brett stated that “it seems easier to explain the non-existence of the Moon than its existence,” while Irwin Shapiro from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics offered that “the best explanation for the Moon is an observational error!”

CNN Vehemently Rejects Joe Rogan-Fueled Conspiracy Theory That CNN Aired Trump Rally Because They Knew He’d Be Shot

CNN vehemently rejected a conspiracy theory that has taken hold on the Right — which suggests that the network somehow had advance knowledge of the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life.

The theory has been making the rounds following Joe Rogan’s podcast with Elon Musk — which was posted on Friday . In a clip from the podcast being widely circulated, Rogan seemed to suggest that because CNN broadcast the rally, it knew about the assassination attempt beforehand.

“You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally — and certainly not for a rally in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Like, there’s a lot of weird shit.”

In Defense of Conspiracy Theorists

Full disclosure: I am a fellow at Brownstone Institute.

I’ve recently become aware of at least one “gatekeeper of the news” who’s becoming increasingly concerned that groups like Brownstone Institute have gone overboard advancing “conspiracy theories.”

I definitely disagree with the opinion that Brownstone’s writers are becoming “conspiracy theorists,” a common pejorative used to dismiss the views of those skeptical of “authorized narratives.”

Now, more strongly than ever, I believe “conspiracies” exist and, indeed, it’s proper and imperative for writers to point out where they do exist.

Quick aside: This essay was motivated by a news curator, a person I consider a friend, who chose to not run my recent essay “Why the placebo nation of Sweden didn’t matter.” The editor mentioned his concerns that Brownstone “has gone off the deep end with all of its conspiracy theories.”

It doesn’t hurt my feelings when an editor chooses to not publish a piece I’ve submitted, especially editors who have run many of my articles and someone who, on many issues, shares my views. Editors can publish (or not publish) pieces for whatever reasons they think are important to their organizations.

With this piece, I’m not trying to anger a friend who has gone against the “pack” by publishing many contrarian essays and articles. However, the fact that this editor chose not to publish this particular essay does give me an opportunity to address the “conspiracy theorist” charge.

Name Of Female Blackhawk Pilot Not Yet Released, Spurring Social Media Theories

Social media has erupted over theories the deceased female pilot of the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter that crashed into a commercial jet near Reagan National airport in Washington, DC was a transgender pilot.

Sources tell AFP this rumor is untrue, and the deceased Blackhawk driver was indeed a woman.

However, the name of the female pilot has not been released.

In addition, a video is making its way around the internet of an ADSB readout showing erratic moves of the helicopter towards other aircraft prior to the crash. Since the Blackhawk usually is not equipped with ADSB, we also cannot confirm this video and readers should be suspect as to its authenticity.

It’s Time To Retire ‘Misinformation’

In a seismic political shift, Republicans have laid claim to an issue that Democrats left in the gutter – the declining health of Americans. True, it took a Democrat with a famous name to ask why so many people are chronically ill, disabled, and dying younger than in 47 other countries. But the message resonated with the GOP.

We have a proposal in this unfolding milieu. Let’s have a serious, nuanced discussion. Let’s retire labels that have been weaponized against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., nominated for Health and Human Services Secretary, and many people like him. 

Start with discarding threadbare words like “conspiracy theory,” “anti-vax,” and the ever-changing “misinformation.”     

These linguistic sleights of hand have been deployed—by government, media, and vested interests—to dismiss policy critics and thwart debate. If post-election developments tell us anything, it is that such scorn may no longer work for a population skeptical of government overreach.

Although RFK has been lambasted for months in the press, he just scored a 47 percent approval rating in a CBS poll. 

Americans are asking: Is RFK on to something?

Perhaps, as he contends, a 1986 law that all but absolved vaccine manufacturers from liability has spawned an industry driven more by profit than protection. 

Maybe Americans agree with RFK that the FDA, which gets 69 percent of its budget from pharmaceutical companies, is potentially compromised. Maybe Big Pharma, similarly, gets a free pass from the television news media that it generously supports. The US and New Zealand, incidentally, are the only nations on earth that allow “direct-to-consumer” TV ads. 

Finally, just maybe there’s a straight line from this unhealthy alliance to the growing list of 80 childhood shots, inevitably approved after cursory industry studies with no placebo controls. The Hepatitis B vaccine trial, for one, monitored the effects on newborns for just five days. Babies are given three doses of this questionably necessary product—intended to prevent a disease spread through sex and drug use.

Pointing out such conflicts and flaws earns critics a label: “anti-vaxxer.”
