Ellen DeGeneres Relocates to the U.K. After Trump’s Election Win
Perhaps that is because she is useless as a performer. Reduced to moaning on Netflix that people don't love her any more. -

Ellen DeGeneres Relocates to the U.K. After Trump’s Election Win
Seems the UK is taking any old trash now. I suppose Starmer is hoping they'll spend a few pennies to help him out of the financial hole he has been digging. -

Putin has vanished
He's in a bunker for sure, a command bunker, launching ICBMs on Ukraine. Oh dear, Zelensky/ Biden didn't see that one coming. -

Ellen DeGeneres Relocates to the U.K. After Trump’s Election Win
Ellen DeGeneres, the renowned comedian and former talk show host, has reportedly left the United States for a new life in the United Kingdom following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election. According to multiple reports, DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have purchased a home in the picturesque Cotswolds region of southwest England. DeGeneres, a vocal supporter of Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris during the election cycle, had publicly hoped to see Harris become the first woman president of the United States. However, after a closely contested race, Trump was declared the winner on November 5, just months after Harris stepped in as the Democratic nominee following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal. In the aftermath of the election, numerous celebrities have expressed their opinions on social media. While some celebrated the result, others voiced their disappointment. Among those who had pledged to leave the U.S. if Trump won re-election, DeGeneres appears to be one of the few to follow through. According to *The Wrap*, she and de Rossi decided to relocate after becoming "very disillusioned" with the political climate. Reports from TMZ suggest that the couple’s decision to move abroad came quickly after the election results, with sources stating they wanted "to get the hell out" of the country. Their newly acquired home in the Cotswolds places them in an area popular with celebrities such as Jamie Dornan, Jeremy Clarkson, and David and Victoria Beckham. DeGeneres and de Rossi seem to be settling into their new surroundings. In a video shared on Instagram by Lisa Hogan, partner of Clarkson, the pair were seen enjoying a performance by Irish band The Corrs at Clarkson’s Family Dog pub in the Cotswolds. The footage, which was geotagged in the region, captured DeGeneres and de Rossi waving cheerfully as Hogan filmed the group. Singer-songwriter Natalie Imbruglia was also present, enthusiastically singing along with the performance. Hogan’s caption expressed excitement about the acoustic setup of the pub and tagged DeGeneres, de Rossi, and other notable attendees. This relocation marks a significant new chapter for DeGeneres, who has largely stepped away from the entertainment industry. In her recent Netflix special *For Your Approval*, the 66-year-old reflected on the challenges she faced after an onslaught of negative press, stating that she felt as though she had been "kicked out of showbusiness." Representatives for DeGeneres and Trump have yet to comment on the move. However, the decision to settle in the tranquil English countryside suggests a desire for a fresh start, far removed from the heated political climate of the United States.

Shocking Online Threats: Trans Woman Targets JK Rowling and Nancy Mace in Call to Violence
In a deeply disturbing social media rant, a transgender woman, identified on Instagram as @Venuspeenis, made explicit and violent threats against public figures, including author JK Rowling and U.S. Representative Nancy Mace. The now-deleted video sparked outrage across social and political spheres for its graphic and chilling content, advocating for murder as a means of political action. The user made a series of alarming statements, explicitly condoning murder and calling for violent acts against specific individuals. "I condone murder... I think we need to hold our politicians accountable by murdering them," the individual said in the video. Targeting JK Rowling, the user questioned, “Why is JK Rowling still alive?” and called for her to "burn on the stake and die." Rowling, known for her outspoken views on gender identity issues, has been a frequent target of online backlash, but the overt threats of violence marked a new and shocking escalation. The user’s threats extended beyond Rowling, specifically targeting Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace. In the video, they made a graphic and violent claim, stating, "I hope that one day I do find you in that woman's bathroom and I grab you by your ratty looking f******* hair and drag you face down to the floor while I repeatedly bash it in until the blood's everywhere and you're dead." This was in apparent response to Mace’s introduction of a resolution that would ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol. Mace reposted the video to her Instagram story, directly addressing the threats with sharp criticism. "This is exactly the type of man I don't want in the women's restroom with me," she captioned, adding, "'What are you so afraid of?' says the side tagging me in videos like this." The trans activist also referenced Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in their rant, though their threats against him were less specific. Their rhetoric extended broadly to suggest violence as a solution for the trans community’s challenges, stating, "We would just be so much happier in life if as trans people [we] would come together and murder a bunch of people. I think that really would solve all of our problems." The video, which rapidly gained attention, has since been removed, and the associated Instagram account has been deleted. The chilling nature of the threats has drawn sharp criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. Such overt calls for violence not only undermine civil discourse but also risk inflaming tensions in an already polarized environment. While the vast majority of activists advocate for peaceful and constructive engagement, incidents like these are stark reminders of the dangers posed by extremism, regardless of political or social affiliations. Law enforcement agencies may now be investigating the threats, and the broader public will undoubtedly continue to monitor how these alarming statements are addressed.

Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
As tensions in Eastern Europe reach unprecedented levels, Germany is laying the groundwork for extensive national defense preparations, potentially positioning itself as a key NATO staging ground in the event of full-scale war. This development comes as Ukraine launched U.S.-supplied long-range missiles into Russian territory for the first time, and Russian President Vladimir Putin officially lowered the threshold for deploying nuclear weapons. Reports indicate that a detailed 1,000-page document, *Operationsplan Deutschland*, outlines Germany's role in hosting NATO forces. According to German media, the country could accommodate up to 800,000 NATO troops, serving as a crucial logistics hub to transport military supplies, food, and medicine to the front lines. Germany’s foreign minister has declared that the nation “will not be intimidated” by Moscow’s provocations. Beyond troop mobilization, German authorities are instructing businesses and civilians on how to protect infrastructure and prepare for emergencies, including the installation of independent energy sources such as diesel generators or wind turbines. Nordic nations have similarly bolstered civilian preparedness. Countries such as Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark have issued guides and checklists for their populations, covering essentials like food, medical supplies, and rudimentary military training. Finland, for instance, launched an information campaign reminding citizens of their "national defense obligation," while Sweden detailed shelter procedures and nuclear attack protocols. Simultaneously, the United States has authorized the delivery of anti-personnel mines to Ukraine, marking another escalation in the conflict. These weapons, designed to slow Russian advances, come with strict guidelines stipulating their use only on Ukrainian soil for defensive purposes. Ukrainian forces recently utilized U.S.-supplied ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems) to target an ammunition depot in Russia's Bryansk region, prompting Moscow to declare a "new phase of the Western war." Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, condemned the strikes, asserting that they signal the West’s intent to escalate the conflict. Foreign intelligence chief Sergei Naryshkin warned NATO nations facilitating such attacks that these actions "would not go unpunished." Meanwhile, NATO continues its largest-ever artillery exercises just 70 miles from the Russian border. Finland, which joined the military alliance in 2023, is hosting *Dynamic Front*, a live-fire training operation involving 3,600 soldiers from 28 countries. These drills, conducted in northern Lapland, are part of a series of military exercises planned across Europe, including in Estonia, Romania, Poland, and Germany. The British Army is also taking the opportunity to test its Archer 155-mm artillery system, hailed as a "game-changer" on the battlefield. Capable of firing both high-explosive and GPS-guided munitions with a range of 30 miles, these guns are proving invaluable in modern warfare. Major Barney Ingram highlighted their effectiveness, stating, “You can, realistically, with this capability, neutralize most targets.” Putin's recent adjustment to Russia’s nuclear doctrine has heightened the stakes, lowering the threshold for deploying nuclear weapons in response to conventional missile strikes, drone attacks, or other perceived threats. This shift follows increasing frustration in Moscow over NATO’s military support for Ukraine. With tensions escalating across the region, Europe appears poised for potential conflict on a scale not seen since World War II. From intensified military drills to increased civilian readiness, European nations are bracing for the possibility of an all-out war on the continent. Based on a report by Daily Mail 2024-11-22 -

UK Parliament to Summon Elon Musk Over X’s Role in Social Media Controversies
Members of Parliament are set to summon Elon Musk to testify about X’s involvement in spreading disinformation during the UK summer riots, as part of a broader inquiry into harmful social media content and the rise of AI-generated misinformation. The Commons science and technology select committee also plans to call senior executives from Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, and TikTok for questioning. The inquiry seeks to address concerns over social media's role in amplifying harmful content and the potential shortcomings of current online safety laws in an era of rapid technological advancements. The hearings, scheduled for the new year, will explore the impact of generative AI on misinformation. One key focus is the dissemination of widely shared, AI-generated images on platforms like Facebook and X that incited Islamophobic protests following the tragic deaths of three schoolgirls in Southport last August. Additionally, MPs aim to scrutinize Silicon Valley business models that, according to Labour MP Chi Onwurah, chair of the select committee, “encourage the spread of content that can mislead and harm.” Onwurah expressed a keen interest in questioning Musk, stating, “I would certainly like the opportunity to cross-examine him to see … how he reconciles his promotion of freedom of expression with his promotion of pure disinformation.” Musk, owner of X and a frequent critic of the UK government, notably expressed frustration at being excluded from a UK government international investment summit in September. Onwurah quipped that the inquiry could offer him a chance to make up for that perceived slight. However, whether Musk will appear remains uncertain. When asked about his potential testimony, X declined to comment. Musk’s recent rhetoric, such as labeling changes to UK inheritance tax policies as evidence that “Britain is going full Stalin” and suggesting that “civil war is inevitable” during the Southport riots, underscores his contentious relationship with UK authorities. The inquiry comes amid significant shifts in the social media landscape. Millions of X users have migrated to Bluesky, a platform seen as a refuge for those disillusioned by X’s misinformation policies, the reinstatement of controversial figures like Tommy Robinson and Andrew Tate, and service terms allowing AI training on user data. Prime Minister Keir Starmer indicated no intention for his government to adopt Bluesky accounts, emphasizing that the goal is to communicate effectively with the public across platforms. The Southport killings in July triggered a wave of misinformation on social media, including baseless accusations against a Muslim asylum seeker. Ofcom, the UK communications regulator, found platforms were used to spread hatred, provoke violence, and incite attacks on mosques and asylum accommodations. Lucy Connolly, for instance, was jailed for a racially inflammatory post on X calling for violence, though the platform determined her content did not violate its guidelines. The inquiry will also examine AI’s role in perpetuating false claims, such as recent Google search overviews that regurgitated racist and debunked theories about African populations. Google acknowledged the violation of its policies and removed the offending material. Onwurah emphasized the committee’s determination to uncover the links between social media algorithms, generative AI, and the proliferation of harmful or false content. Ofcom is set to publish new rules under the Online Safety Act next month, mandating that social media companies remove illegal material and address safety risks. These rules aim to mitigate harms such as incitement to violence and false communications intended to cause harm, marking a critical step in regulating the evolving digital landscape.

Jeremy Clarkson: Britain’s Unlikely Trump?
Jeremy Clarkson has never shied away from airing his opinions. Once primarily a figure of motoring mischief on *Top Gear*, he has evolved into a voice for Britain’s agricultural community. With his growing influence and willingness to challenge the political establishment, some speculate whether Clarkson might someday enter politics, drawing comparisons to Donald Trump’s rise in the United States. This shift was on full display when Clarkson took to the stage in Parliament Square, speaking at a farmers’ demonstration. Microphone in hand, he delivered an impassioned, unscripted speech filled with humor, empathy, and sharp critiques of government policies. Though brief, his performance resonated deeply, proving he could rally an audience in ways traditional politicians often fail to achieve. James Frayne, a communications expert and partner at Public First, notes Clarkson’s authenticity as a key asset. “Clarkson always just appears an authentic version of himself. He exudes a degree of consistency. That and he’s just a lot cleverer…” This distinguishes him from figures like Gary Lineker, whose political stances can appear more calculated. The comparison to Trump stems from Clarkson’s ability to connect with a disillusioned public. Pollster James Kanagasooriam recently remarked on X (formerly Twitter), “Genuinely think that if Jeremy Clarkson entered politics now – it could be a moment. Britain’s Trump moment – but far more English and less authoritarian.” With his charisma, massive platform, and a knack for dividing opinion, Clarkson possesses many of the traits that propelled Trump into power. Still, there are challenges. The UK’s parliamentary system makes a populist outsider’s rise more difficult than in the US. Moreover, Clarkson’s political positions remain vague, defined more by what he opposes than what he supports. As Frayne observes, “We know what he furiously doesn’t like, but we don’t yet know what he does.” Even Clarkson has joked that the government’s role should be limited to “building park benches and that is it.” Despite these uncertainties, Clarkson’s growing popularity is undeniable. *Clarkson’s Farm* has endeared him to a broader audience, intertwining entertainment with activism rooted in British soil. His social media reach dwarfs that of prominent political figures, including Sir Keir Starmer, amplifying his voice far beyond traditional political channels. Whether or not Clarkson ever steps into the political arena, his influence is already significant. He represents a growing discontent with the political establishment, channeling the frustrations of rural and working-class Britain. For now, he remains rooted in his Cotswolds farm, but should he choose to act, Clarkson might just find himself at the center of a political movement. As one of his admirers put it, “Little England’s biggest boy” could yet grow up and leave an indelible mark on the nation’s political landscape. Based on a report by Daily Telegraph 2024-11-22
