Ellen DeGeneres confirms that she has the coronavirus. Her wife, actress Portia De Rossi may have it as well. Warner Television along with Ellen’s A Very Good Productions and Telepictures halted programming for her daytime show until January.
“Hi everyone, I want to let you all know that I tested positive for COVID-19. Fortunately I’m feeling fine right now, said DeGeneres, 62 on social media.
“Anyone who has been in close contact with me has been notified, and I am following all proper CDC guidelines,” she added. “I’ll see you all again after the holidays. Please stay safe and healthy.”
The Queen of Daytime Television faced heat this year. Former staffers and producers have come out with harsh criticism against Ellen. They said that she’s practically mean and the executive producers were sexist, racist and downright hateful.
The Ellen Show started again in mid-September without a large audience. Due to COVID-19, many daytime talk show hosts are having remote guests.
The bombshell story about the toxic working environment has hurt the daytime host.
Many assumed she was a nice person on and off screen. She even made the trademark catchphrase, “Be kind to one another…” and it was her signing off.

Now with another season off, the talk show could be in jeopardy to be cancelled.
Ellen even considered walking away from the show after revelations of her being rude towards a fan who admired her.
Ellen is currently in the 18th season and it still reigns in 6 million viewers. It is the No. 1 daytime syndicated talk show in the country.
Ellen, The View, Live! With Kelly and Ryan, Wendy Williams,The Kelly Clarkson Show, Tamron Hall, Today (Hoda and Jenna), The Talk, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Rachael Ray, The Maury (Povich) Show, Steve Wilkos, The Jerry Springer Show (including Judge Jerry), The Doctors and The Drew Barrymore Show have tried to work with remote guests and limited audiences.
The junk food media reveals that Rep. Eric Swalwell had interacted with a Chinese spy five years ago.
Shots fired…
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is pissed. He is pissed that President Donald J. Trump’s Justice Department released details about the California lawmaker’s involvement with a woman who may have worked on behalf of the Chinese government.
Swalwell was one of the many Democrats running for president in 2019. He bowed out in December 2019 after polling less than 1 point in national polls.
He was shocked when the FBI informed him several years ago that he was targeted by a suspected Chinese intelligence operative as part of a broader effort to establish ties with U.S. politicians, reiterating that he did cooperate with the feds and the individual in question.
Axios reported that Swalwell had been compromised by a woman named Christine Fang or Fang Fang. She took part in a fundraising activity for Swalwell’s 2014 reelection campaign and helped place an intern in the California Democrat’s office.
Swalwell, who serves on the House Intelligence Committee was vocal about Trump. He supported impeachment. He believes that Trump deliberately leaked this to create controversy.
“At the same time this story was being leaked out is the time that I was working on impeachment on the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees,” Swalwell said.
“If this is a country where people who criticize the president are going to have law enforcement information weaponized against them, that’s not a country that any of us want to live in. I hope it is investigated who leaked this information.”
Fang has already gone back to China.
Trump’s outgoing DNI adviser John Ratcliffe issued a stark warning last week that China is preparing for “an open-ended period of confrontation with the U.S,” urging bipartisan action to address “the greatest threat to American today,” and to “democracy around the world since World War II.”
As expected, we see white nationalist Ben Garrison drawing a conclusion.
Racist cartoonist Ben Garrison made a blanket accusation. The racist is a supporter of Q'Anon.
It is what we expect from white extremists.
With Trump defeated, he is vowing to create chaos on his way out. So why not target lawmakers who were critical of him?
Why not target the son of the president-elect?
It’s nothing more than a distraction.
We are reminded that Republicans are compromised by Russia. Trump had gotten help from Russia to help him win his election. He also used Russia to help him try to win his reelection. Thankful it failed.
The woman who got into Republican events, Maria Butina was a spy. Also, Lev Parnas and Igor Furman were operatives for the Russian government.
So I am going to say this without any question, don't throw stones at glass houses.
Chaos agent Nina Turner is considering a run for the seat that is being vacated by Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH). The leftist said voting for Joe Biden is like eating a half a bowl of shit.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!
END SARS NOW!
HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
BLOGGER IS TRASH!
Oh, hell naw!
No way!
Cleveland, Ohio should never allow Nina Turner the honor of being their representative for the 11th Congressional District. It would be a disgrace.
The former Bernie Sanders surrogate who co-founded The People’s Party is now considering to run for the seat that could be vacated by Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) as a Democrat. Fudge is being tapped as the Housing and Urban Development secretary.
Turner famously said that voting for Joe Biden is like eating a half a bowl of shit.
You think we haven't forgotten the way you treated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.
You think we haven't forgotten your embracing Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate who has ties to the Kremlin?
You think we haven't forgotten your disrespect towards folks who supported Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren, Beto O'Rourke and Joe Biden.
So why should we give this shit a position?
Leftists are pushing for her to run. Already the NinaTurnerforCongress.com website is up and running.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Rep-elect Cori Bush (D-MO), Ryan Knight, Kyle Kulinski, Krystal Ball, Katie Halper and numerous leftists are hoping that we’re going to forget Turner’s history as a bombastic agitator and chaos agent.
Trust me, if she’s running, I hope five other Democrats are running against her. I hope that Republicans line up a candidate that is more moderate and not some far-right lunatic like the one Fudge faced off against.
If Democrats have to win, they need someone who isn’t stuck on Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Bombastic agitator wants be a congresswoman.
Sanders and his Bernie Bros have caused such a rift within the Democratic Party. I am clearly going to endorse any candidate but Nina Turner.
Turner, 53 is the most vocal leftist in the fold. She invented the “Hello Somebody” catchphrase.
If we’re to remember Turner, she ran for Secretary of State in Ohio. She was blown out of the water by Republican Jon Husted. Husted later would be the lieutenant governor of Ohio serving under governor Mike DeWine.
She earned 35% of the vote. Hello somebody!
A candidate who lost in a landslide should never be anywhere near a campaign. But since she wants to be a part of the noise (ah, The Squad), Turner will do all she can to get that spot.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) are the coalition known as the Squad. With the expectation of Pressley who endorsed Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the Squad were die-hard progressives who endorsed Sanders for president. The four lawmakers have been notorious for being in the limelight instead of the legislature. Each of them have great passion for the causes of the middle class, but their “in your face” remarks are hurting Democrats in the Midwest, South and Mountain West.
Democrats lost a lot of House seats in conservative leaning districts. Of the closely watched senate races, the only ones who won their spots were Sen-elect John Hickenlooper (D-CO) and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ).
Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) lost to Sen-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), a white nationalist.
Nina Turner could be anchor on Ohio Democrats and they certainly don’t need her input. Matter of fact, they don’t need the input of the Justice Democrats. Cause of them, we couldn’t scoop up the seats held by Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) and Rep. Steve Cabot (R-OH). The Democrats outraised them and still lost. Ohio will lose a congressional district and Republicans will draw another gerrymandered election map which could keep them in power for another worthless decade.
The leftists and Democrats were too busy squabbling over Biden's positions. Leftists want Medicare for All and every progressive wish list in a Congress that could never get through the senate. This old cracker named Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) won't allow it. His purple lips and hands will never pass any legislation that benefits the middle class or progressives. He called himself the "Grim Reaper."
He and many old south lawmakers will eventually see a dirty nap.
President Donald J. Trump carried Ohio by eight points in 2020. He carried Florida and Ohio but still lost the election. White working class over 55 helped Trump carry this state. Too many Ohioans are happy with the mess Trump created.
Feds are looking into President-elect Joe Biden's son Hunter.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!
END SARS NOW!
HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
BLOGGER IS TRASH!
Shots fired!
The U.S. Attorney’s Office out of Delaware has a federal watch for President-elect Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. The IRS Criminal Investigation Agency and the FBI are probing into the finances of Hunter Biden.
Biden was the focus of President Donald J. Trump, Republicans and the far-right. The complaints are looking into business dealings with Ukraine and China. Biden has not been charged with a crime. Two Republican-led congressional committees have found no wrongdoing by Joe Biden.
Political adversaries have been trying to tie Hunter Biden to the president-elect during the elections. The former vice president during the campaign had said he has no illegal or unethical dealings with his son.
Biden publicly said that he learned on Tuesday that the feds were investigating his tax affairs.
“I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including the benefit of professional tax advisors,” Biden said in a statement.
Federal investigators had served a round of subpoenas, including Hunter Biden on Tuesday, as a part of an investigation that centers on his business dealings, according to The Associated Press. The investigation regards “potential tax fraud crimes,” and had been going on at least a year before Biden announced his candidacy, the AP reported. The information was attributed to two people familiar with the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing probe.
Biden’s transition team said that the president-elect “is deeply proud of Hunter who has fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger.”
Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani who is being treated for COVID-19 had been a focal agitator in the matter. He and Steve Bannon discovered the laptop belonging to Hunter Biden in a Delaware repair shop. It had a trove of evidence against Biden. The FBI was investigating it as potential misinformation from Russia to influence the election. Giuliani, himself is under federal watch.
Turkey neck going after Hunter Biden's neck.
Bannon is being charged by the feds in a grand larceny and online scheme.
Lawmakers on the far-right have been pushing the Hunter Biden laptop “scandal.” Mind you Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post was first to break the news of the laptop. It was temporarily blocked by Facebook, YouTube and Twitter for possible misinformation. It drew ire of the far-right for the blocking.
It was promoted by pro-Trump outlets like Newsmax, OANN, Fox News and that annoying far-right agitator who failed to mention that convicted federal intern Michael Cohen was his lawyer.
Sean “Softball” Hannity, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), former lawmaker Dana Rohrabacher of California and Roger Stone have been under the feds radar as well. Stone was indicted but later pardoned by Trump.
Stone, Bannon and Giuliani’s fingers are all over the laptop story. Softball Hannity is a part of it as well as John “Deep State” Solomon and former “softball” player Sara A. Carter.
The New York Post wrote that an email from Burisma advisor Vadym Pozharskyi was allegedly trying to coach Hunter Biden to meet with the former vice president in 2015.
Giuliani had been under the feds radar. He met with an Urkanian official who has ties to the Kremlin. The official is Andrii Dekrach. He has been sanctioned by the U.S. government.
The Hunter Biden investigation may be a political witch hunt by Trump. The president has been speculating he wanted the U.S. Justice Department to investigate Biden.
Now, if Biden wanted to be vindictive, he would go after Donald, Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump. He would go after his media allies like “Softball” Hannity, Rudy Giuliani and Roger Stone.
Guess what Sean "Softball" Hannity gonna be talking about tonight?
Biden isn’t even concerned with the noise. He is working on getting his administration together.
Trump is a disease. His allies are a disease. COVID-19 has killed 330,000 Americans and people are going to die because of their stupidity. They will take you, me and thousands of others with them because they can’t accept an election loss. They don’t want to wear facial protection or social distance in the wake of spiking cases. They just don’t want to understand that our world is dying.
Trump ain’t concerned about the lives lost to the pandemic. He’s only concerned with trying to overturn an election he knows he lost. These morons are destroying us.
Some years ago, I wrote a piece on how Facebook is causing chaos. I have turned the page on being liked or having friends. I rather just work and try to be a father to my child. I don’t worry about relationships nor I am going to rush to be in one. I am not concerned about people’s lives outside my bubble. If it doesn’t affect me, why should I fucking care?
Mark Zuckerberg is the chief executive officer of Facebook. He and four former college dorm friends created the world's most popular social media platform from their Harvard dormitory. Co-founders Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes have distanced themselves from the company. Zuckerberg, his chief operation operator Sheryl Sandberg along with David Wehner, Mike Schroepfer and Chris Cox operate the social network and media company.
Anyway, the Associated Press reports that federal regulators asked Wednesday for Facebook to be ordered to divest its Instagram and WhatsApp messaging services as the U.S. government and 48 states and districts accused the company of abusing its market power in social networking to crush smaller competitors.
Yeah, Facebook has 2.9 billion users worldwide. It is the leading force in social media.
Letitia James leds the lawsuits to break up Facebook.
The largest presence in social media include: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat and Tinder.
The antitrust lawsuits were announced by the Federal Trade Commission and New York Attorney General Letitia James. James is also working on state criminal charges against the Trump Organization and outgoing U.S. president, Donald J. Trump.
The landmark antitrust lawsuits, announced by the FTC and the New York Attorney General marks the second major government offensive this year against seemingly untouchable tech behemoths.
The Justice Department sued Google in October for abusing its dominance in online search and advertising -- the government’s most significant attempt to buttress competition since its historic case against Microsoft two decades ago. Amazon and Apple have been under investigation in Congress and by federal authorities for alleged anti-competitive conduct.
Mark Zuckerberg had a secret meeting with President Donald Trump during the elections. Trump was pressuring Zuckerberg to allow more conspiracy-themed far-right postings to survive Facebook's rules.
The FTC said Facebook has engaged in a “systematic strategy” to eliminate competition. It also alleges that Facebook scoops up smaller competitors like Instagram and WhatsApp to keep them from taking the No. 1 spot. Facebook “used its monopoly power to crush smaller rivals and snuff out competition, all at the expense of everyday users.”
Facebook got a hefty fine last year for privacy violations and instituted new oversight and restrictions on its business. It was fined $5 billion.
The lawsuit against Facebook was brought by New York, 45 other U.S. States, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territory of Guam. It says Facebook had a practice of opening its site to third-party app developers, then abruptly cutting off developers that it saw as a threat.
The lawsuit accuses Facebook of anti-competitive conduct and using its market dominance to harvest consumer data and reap a fortune in advertising revenues.
Lots of work to do, Joe and Kamala…. Lots of work!
African Americans are going to send a message to the police.... Our message is pure and simple!
STOP KILLING US! STOP USING THE "I FEAR FOR MY LIFE" AS AN EXCUSE!
Everytime a person of color is shot and killed by the police, the far-right wants to look up the criminal history of the suspect.
WE ARE GETTING TIRED OF THIS NARRATIVE! NO MORE EXCUSES! IF YOU CAN DETAIN ARMED WHITE SUSPECTS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DETAIN A BLACK MAN WITHOUT USING DEADLY FORCE!
With COVID-19 killing over 2,000 people a day, gun violence took a backseat. At least 105 people have been killed each day by gun violence. The American people are so numb to this stuff. They won’t socially distance. They won’t wear facial masks. They don’t take the dangers of the coronavirus seriously.
Cop loves to kick bad guy ass.
As with gun violence, Congress will not do anything to stop it. Republican in the House and Senate as well as a handful of Democrats will continue to block legislation that stops the ongoing gun violence pandemic. They can’t even do anything.
The latest police shooting in the United States. Again, a never ending theme here on Journal de la Reyna is the “What Happened To” postings. I often do these postings in regards to the latest incident involving a person of color being either killed by gun or racially motivated violence. It's usually long but with Google fucking up Blogger to a point where its not possible, I'll do as much as I can.
The Franklin County Boys and the Columbus Division of Police and the U.S. Marshals are scrambling. They are trying to place the blame on the Black man who was shot and killed by a county boy who worked for the U.S. Marshals.
So I am to believe that Casey Goodson, Jr., 23 deserved his fate because he:
1. Reached for something.
2. Ran from the cops.
3. Refused a cop’s order.
4. Look like a really bad dude.
Tell me, what led to this tragedy? Cause I see that the cops are going to try to justify shooting an armed legally allowed Black man because….”Well you know, he did X, Y and Z.”
The county boy working for the fugitive task force shot and killed Casey trying to enter his own home in Columbus, Ohio, last week in a case that is now being investigated by the feds.
The county boy, now identified as Jason Meade, worked for Franklin County boys for 17 years.
Casey looks like he enjoyed life.
His personal records show in March 2019, Meade received an oral reprimand for violating rules and regulations for deploying his taser on a suspect and didn’t notify his supervision or communications about the use of force.
Examples include only checking four of 12 citizen complaints in 2010 and nine out of 20 the year before.
The same evaluation showed Meade hadn’t done a progress report on a case of an elderly man who was robbed until seven months later.
In 2011, Meade was removed from No Inmate Contact Status which he was placed on in 2007 pending an IA investigation, meaning he couldn’t be around inmates while on duty. No explanation was given.
Franklin County sheriff claims the cop reacted to a gun being seen.
His most recent performance evaluation dated September 2020 shows three above expectation rankings. It was noted he is always counted on, thinks things through and makes command decisions for his peers. Meade was also described as an honest man who is highly motivated.
In a blog posting describing Meade, it says he likes “To Kick The Crap out of The Bad Guys.”
He was working with the U.S. Marshals looking for violent offenders. Casey was not on the radar of the Marshals. But somehow this dirty cop managed to put the bullets in him.
Goodson had put his keys into his door before he was shot and fell into the kitchen, where his 5-year old brother and 72-year old grandmother saw him lying on the ground with a Subway sandwich, says family attorney Sean Walton.
Goodson, a lawful concealed carry permit holder, was legally armed at the time of the shooting.
Again, Black men being armed is a death sentence. Regardless of us being legal owners of firearms, the cops always believe we’re the ones trying to instigate gun violence. Conceal carry is only good for White people. You don’t see White people being shot and killed when they conceal carry.
Goodson was not alleged to have committed any criminal acts. He has no criminal background nor he was any target of any investigation.
During the U.S. Marshal’s task force operation in Columbus, Meade reported seeing a man with a gun and was investigating the situation when there was reportedly a verbal exchange prior to the shooting, said the Columbus Division of Police.
According to the law, there were no other cops involved and no other cops witnessed the shooting.
There were no civilian eyewitnesses identified as of yet. The cop did not wear a body camera.
Casey's mother and attorney Sean Walton demand the cop be criminally charged.
The Franklin County boys working on the task force weren’t required to wear body cameras.
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is doing what Mike DeWine did when John Crawford III was shot and killed in Dayton, Ohio back 2014. He is literally holding back evidence and not releasing anything because it could spark unrest. He is likely trying to side with the cops.
The Columbus Division of Police was going to turn over the investigation to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI). The state agency would not be able to accept the case because of an unexplained delay in the request.
“We received a referral to take a three-day old officer involved shooting case. Not knowing all the reasons as to why so much time has passed before the case referred to BCI, we cannot accept this case,” a spokesperson for the Attorney General’s office said.
Yost said that the BCI has a memorandum of understanding with Columbus Police that says the state agency should be the first call after a police shooting.
“BCI is the first call because we cannot be the subject matter expert unless we’re on scene from the beginning to document the evidence of what happened from the start,” Yost said in a statement on Monday. “Three days later after the crime scene has been dismantled and the witness(es) have all dispersed does not work.”
So if you're a legally armed Black man and you're stopped by police, how can you prevent yourself from being shot?
Tensions have been rising since. Columbus, Ohio with a population of 946,000 residents is the only city in the Midwest that is growing. It is the fourth most economically segregated area in the country.
The city has been pushing for gentrification of Black neighborhoods and is quietly expanding its city boundaries. The city covers Franklin County, Delaware County, Licking County and soon parts of Madison County. It is the largest city in Ohio.
Shootings of Casey Goodson, Jr., Julius Tate, Kareem Ali Nadir Jones, Tyre King, Henry Green and numerous others sparked tensions between the police and residents.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
So far, more Black men and women are being killed by the police. I don't want to hear no talk about white suspects being killed far more. So far, the junk food media has spotlighted Black people being shot by the police.
Tell me one political leader willing to take on the police unions, the National Rifle Association and far-right agitators!
Joe Biden owes his success to Black voters. He and Kamala Harris need to work on police reform after we get this goddamn pandemic under control. We need to make sure that we hold the new administration accountable or we'll replace them like we did with President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP! I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE IS NO GOD!
