Failed Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris Signs with Hollywood Talent Agency

The Creative Artists Agency (CAA) announced on Tuesday that it will represent Harris “in all areas, focusing on speaking engagements and publishing.”

The CAA also represents Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.

“CAA will work closely with Harris on her post-White House initiatives, creating strategic opportunities that expand her platform in support of the issues she has championed throughout her decades-long career in public service,” the talent agency said in a statement.

Harris was previously represented by the Los Angeles-based agency while serving as a California senator.

The agency is very liberal and frequently pushes for DEI hiring.

“It is also our goal to lead the way in diversity, advocating with marketplace buyers for talent from historically underrepresented groups – and for the cultural and commercial value of inclusion. CAA continues to increase the diversity of our talent roster and our employees, and always will,” the CAA’s website states.

There have been rumblings that Harris may run for California governor.

A recent Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill poll found that if she entered the race, she would be the frontrunner.

Unearthed Trump Era Video From 2018 Shows Homeland Actress Claire Danes Telling Stephen Colbert the Intelligence Community Allied With Journalists

A video clip resurfaced Tuesday of Homeland actress Claire Danes telling CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert in February 2018 that the “intelligence community was…allying itself with journalists” during its battles with the Trump administration. Homeland ran on Showtime, starting during the Obama administration in 2011 and ending in 2020 during Trump’s first term.

Danes told Colbert that each year during the show’s run the cast, writers and producers would spend a week in Washington, D.C. for a “spy camp” with “real spooks”, meeting at a Georgetown club with people from the intelligence community, the State Department and the media.

Danes said the relationship between the Trump administration and the intelligence community soured at the start of 2017 (“there wasn’t great faith in the very beginning”) and that the spooks started allying with journalists. (Note: The alliance started earlier with the 2016 Russia hoax Steele Dossier and the early January 2017 intel-fed Washington Post hit that helped to take out Trump’s first national security advisor, Gen. Michael Flynn.)

Celebrity Piggy Bank Scandal: How Taxpayer-Funded Pandemic Relief Programs Became a Cash Grab for Hollywood Musicians

In a jaw-dropping exposé, new details reveal how the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG)—a taxpayer-funded pandemic relief program established to save businesses and independent arts organizations—allegedly turned into a financial free-for-all for Hollywood celebrities.

Signed into law by then-President Donald Trump in 2020 and championed by figures like Senator Chuck Schumer, the program aimed to support struggling venues during the pandemic.

But according to a Business Insider report, it has now become synonymous with wasteful spending by high-profile stars.

Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., received an $8.9 million grant. Instead of directing these funds toward sustaining his music operations, he reportedly spent over $1.3 million on private jet flights and more than $460,000 on designer clothing from brands like Gucci and Balenciaga.

Additionally, he billed taxpayers nearly $88,000 for a New Year’s Eve concert in Coachella, California, which he ultimately canceled, and $14,900 for “mystery women” hotel stays.

Man Found Dead in Hollywood Hills Home Reportedly Will Rothschild

Authorities Thursday were investigating a residential fire in the Hollywood Hills that left a man dead, with neighbors telling reporters that the victim was eccentric millionaire Will Rothschild of the famous banking family.

Fire crews responded to 8551 Lookout Mountain Avenue, east of Crescent Drive , at 4:33 p.m. Wednesday after they received a call reporting a fire at the two-story hillside residence. They were able to prevent the flames from spreading to nearby vegetation or other structures, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.

During a search of the home after the fire was extinguished, firefighters found the body of a man, Humphrey said.

It took 45 firefighters 33 minutes to extinguish the flames.

Coroner’s officials had not identified the victim as of Thursday morning, but neighbors told ABC7 that he was Rothschild, who was described as a bit reclusive and eccentric.

The house was also said to be a potential fire hazard, with possible hoarding conditions.

“Given the fire damage, it’s kind of hard to determine how much of that was prior to the fire and how much of it is the building itself that has been demolished by the fire,” Battalion Chief Adam Knabe of the LAFD told the station.

The Mayor’s Crisis Response Team was summoned to provide emotional support and assistance to the decedent’s family and neighbors, fire authorities said.

The cause of the fire was under an active and joint investigation by the fire department and the Los Angeles Police Department.

BACKLASH: Angry Liberals Start Going After George Clooney for His Role in Forcing Biden Out of the 2024 Race

Actor George Clooney may have to enter the witness protection program before the year is over.

Many liberals who are outraged over the outcome of the election are blaming Clooney for his role in forcing Joe Biden out of the 2024 election.

Clooney wrote a column for the New York Times demanding that Biden step aside after his disastrous debate performance in June.

Now he is facing an angry mob from his own side.

Breitbart News reports:

Democrats Rage at George Clooney for Pushing Biden out Following Trump’s Blowout Victory: ‘It’s All His Fault’

George Clooney is being attacked by despairing fans in the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris’s humiliating defeat in the 2024 election campaign after the actor demanded President Joe Biden step aside in her favor.

As Breitbart News reported, the Ocean’s Eleven actor, 63, notably penned an op-ed for the New York Times in July where he called on Biden, 81, to abandon his presidential campaign, writing: “We are not going to win in November with this president.”

Recapping the slimy ‘celebs’ who said they’d off themselves or flee America with a Trump victory

I’m starting a list, just to make sure that we don’t forget anyone, containing the names of the “celebrities” who promised to off themselves or flee the U.S., in the event of a President Trump victory.

Well, for what are they waiting? Have at it you jackasses, time to get going! Also, where can I tune in to watch the festivities? I kid… kind of.

First up is Rob Reiner, who said he’d “set himself on fire” if Trump wins. Perhaps he’d be so inclined to stage it in Washington D.C., maybe at the Internal Revenue Service building, burning it down too? Oh wait, that’ll be handled by Trump’s “no tax on tips” policy, or maybe even the elimination of federal income tax. Would Reiner be willing to self-immolate at the FDA or CDC? Never mind, that’s what we have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for! The ATF office? Yikes, how could I forget? J.D. Vance is handling that! As long as I get a front row seat to Reiner’s performance, I’m not picky.

Next we have Stephen King, who declared that if Trump emerges victorious, he will throw himself in a “woodchipper.” Now, with all the rumors (and for libel purposes I’m stressing “rumors”) flying around about King’s alleged sexual preference for and behaviors toward children, I can’t help but wonder if there were an underlying message there. I mean, the woodchipper is the cliché execution method of choice for pedophiles and child molesters, finding its way into countless memes, like the one where the man wonders why his neighbor is putting logs into the “pedo machine.” Of all the ways to off yourself, why did King settle on that one? Did King just expose himself and signal guilt?

Then there was Bette Midler, who shared a picture to social media that showed a bottle of champagne next to a bottle of drain cleaner, with two sticky notes attached signaling which bottle to drink, contingent upon the outcome.

Gina Carano Scores Legal Victory as Judge Blocks Disney’s Appeal in Free Speech Battle

A California judge has ruled against Disney, denying its request to appeal a July decision that allows Gina Carano’s wrongful termination lawsuit to proceed. Additionally, the request to pause discovery during the appeal was also denied.

Gina Carano took to her social media platform, X, to announce the decision: “After the Judge DENIED Disney’s request to DISMISS my case, Disney requested permission to immediately appeal that decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and delay all discovery while that appeal takes place,” Carano posted. “Yesterday, October 16th, 2024, we learned that the Judge DENIED Disney’s unusual request.”

We obtained a copy of the order for you here.

Hollywood’s dark side revealed in disturbing case against producer

Hollywood crime has been making headlines lately, and it hasn’t been at the box office. Though Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and named associates have taken the spotlight, a lesser known but equally disturbing case has been part of the public sphere for the past few years. 

Two summers ago, after a seven-month investigation, Hollywood producer David Pearce was charged with the death of two women, model Christy Giles and her friend, Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola. The women’s bodies were found at two separate hospitals in November 2021. Initially, Pearce was arrested and charged with allegedly raping and sexually assaulting four other women before being arrested for these crimes.  

LAPD investigators allege Pearce, along with two cohorts, actor Brandt Osborn and cinematographer Michael Ansbach, met the victims at a late-night warehouse party in Los Angeles before continuing the night at Pearce’s apartment. 

At the time of the original indictment, Pearce’s defense attorney stated a lack of evidence, though Pearce and Osborne were captured on surveillance leaving the warehouse around 5 a.m. on the day in question before eventually going to their shared apartment.

WOW! Barack Obama’s Former Canadian Ambassador Reveals Zoom Call With Hollywood Celebrities and Social Media Influencers To Discuss Undetectable Way To Steal The 2024 Election

Democrats have devised a brilliant plan to steal our election in 2024—and it’s really quite simple.

By telegraphing to the American people that they believe the key to winning our elections is getting 9 million individuals to vote for Kamala Harris from a pool of 2.4 million eligible overseas voters in total (according to US government data), Democrats essentially remove the shock value when it’s announced they only achieved a percentage of their goal when it’s revealed they received millions of new overseas votes.

For those determined to decide the outcome of our elections by using every possible loophole, like the United States FVAP website and the Democratic Party overseas registration website, VoteFromAbroad.org, where overseas voters can register to vote and request an absentee ballot at the same time, it would seem to an outsider a brilliant plan. The problem is for those concerned about the legitimacy or security of our elections: the fact that none of the so-called “9 million voters” Democrats claim they are trying to recruit will have to prove their identity or even provide a legitimate address for their past or present residence in the United States, leaving America with another significantly flawed election outcome with no way to prove it once the votes are cast.

How the Opiate Conspiracy Widened

Many businesses will gleefully sell you a harmful addiction.

The tobacco industry was supposedly subdued decades ago by a historic legal beat-down, yet somehow spends $22 million every day promoting its wares. That’s nearly a million dollars an hour. Websites for kids sport vaping ads. “Cigfluencers” work the podcasts. And movies are smoke-choked like never before.

There was a time when a cigarette company could pay a mere $43,000 for Superman to be thrown into a Marlboro truck by the evil General Zod in front of Marlboro-smoker Lois Lane. (She had never smoked in the comic books, by the way.)

These days, modern Hollywood supposedly disdains tobacco cash. Yet somehow the movies remain one long, glamorous advertisement for cigarettes. Of this year’s ten Oscar Best Picture nominees, nine featured seductive and edgy smoking. (Only “Barbie” did not.)

The marketeers assure us we’ll be inhaling happiness and hipness. Maybe so, but there are also those hot, lung-damaging fumes — a reality that eventually catches up and kills about half a million of us every year.

(Brief digression: COVID-19 had a U.S. death toll of about 1.2 million over three tough years. Many COVID-19 victims were also smokers, so it’s hard to compare the pandemic and smoking death tolls. That said, we can certainly compare the public health responses. When COVID-19 arrived, we shut down the entire planet, and the virus would go on to kill an average of 400,000 Americans a year for three years. Smoking has been here all along — glamorized, marketed to kids — cheerfully killing 500,000 Americans a year, every year, forever.)
