The Libertarian comedian and political agitator had to cancel his Real Time with Bill Maher because he tested positive for the coronavirus.
Maher has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the cancellation of the Friday taping of his HBO show "Real Time with Bill Maher," the show announced Thursday. The comedian is fully vaccinated, asymptomatic and "feels fine," the show said.
No other staff or crew members have tested positive, the show said. Neil deGrasse Tyson, Max Brooks and Dan Carlin were the guests scheduled for the canceled show on Friday.
Maher, 65, thanked fans concerned about his health and expressed disappointment at missing his show and ending his streak of consecutive tapings.
"Thanks to all wishing me get well — hard to do since I feel perfectly fine, but I appreciate it! Most upset about ending my streak going back to 1993 of never missing a Politically Incorrect or Real Time episode," he tweeted.
"Oh well, even Cal Ripken had to sit one out at some point."
The show said its production team "has taken every precaution following COVID CDC guidelines."
The coronavirus does not care about your race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, economic, political and social standings. It doesn't care about your weddings, funerals, births, birthday parties, vacations, employment and protests. It is a living organization that causes flu-like symptoms, body aches, respiratory failure and many other unknown symptoms. It has killed over 600,000 Americans and over 2.5 million worldwide.

Didn’t mean to set the internet on fire. What I said last night was true. CNN Tonight with Don Lemon is no more. I’ll be back on Monday with my newly named show Don Lemon Tonight. See you Monday at 10pE. pic.twitter.com/89GFXULV9m
Well it was confirmed that Don Lemon is not leaving CNN but he is ending CNN Tonight.
He announced on Friday that his show will be ending effectively. Lemon says he is not leaving CNN as of yet but he is working on an unspecified project.
"It's been really really great. This is the last night that will be 'CNN Tonight With Don Lemon,'" the host said on Friday. "So, I appreciate all the years of 'CNN Tonight With Don Lemon,' but changes are coming, and I will fill you in."
One far-right troll was happy to see him leave. Obviously, he didn't like Lemon going at Washed Up 45 and Republicans for being white nationalists.

BE WARNED THERE WILL BE GRAPHIC IMAGES AND VIDEOS!
The Israeli government is trying to squash media coverage to prevent negative perceptions.
The U.S. junk food media and political leaders continue to enable this notion that "Israel has the right to defend itself" or "Israel has the right to exist." This troupe has continued to be a stinging point between those who want to hold Israel accountable for the violations of the United Nations. This is also a deflection from the reality that Israel is an ally. It's directly part of the problems in the Middle East.
These troupes keeps that corrupt prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in power. The prime minister of Israel is facing criminal charges for corruption by the state and the U.N. wants him and President Reuven Rivlin charged for war crimes. The best distraction from facing criminal charges and of course a power grab is enabling a one-sided war against the Gaza Strip and its political arm Hamas.
Agitators and politicians continue to claim that Hamas is the "bad guy" and their firing rockets into Israel.
Israelis sit back, eat a dinner and watch the F-15's strike the Gaza Strip. They cheer this shit.
Israel has a massive missile shield called the Iron Dome. It destroys missiles within seconds of reaching the state's airspace. It has a military. It has an intelligence agency that monitors potential terrorist attacks foreign and domestic. It also has a clandestine group of assassins that kill people in world cities.
Those living in the Gaza and the West Bank have none of that. Some of those living in the Gaza Strip have grenade rocket launchers but no tanks. No warships. No airstrikers. No clandestine assassins.
It's been a one sided war with Israel leading the way to genocide.
Israel and the United States share one thing in common. The Manifest Destiny. The entitlement to just claim land without any repercussions. The very fact that Israel is still building settlements in the West Bank and blocking aid to the Gaza Strip is criminal. Every nation who wants to push for sanctions on Israel are being blocked by the United States.
The junk food media is trying to silence the war crimes on Palestinians.
The Democratic president, Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, many Democrats and most Republicans are siding with Israel despite the images of children being killed in the Gaza Strip. They are siding with Israel despite the government forcing families out of their homes in East Jerusalem.
The American government is funding the Israeli military to bomb the Gaza Strip. The American police agencies are learning the restraints of criminals from the Israeli police and Mossad.
The controversial relationship with the state of Israel has been another partisan issue here in the United States.
Critics of Israel are often label anti-Semitic because the supporters of the state are trying to falsely assert that the secular country is the Jewish State.
Biden continues to play the old troupe of Israel having the right to defend itself. But what about the Palestinians who are being forced from their homes in the West Bank and those living in the Gaza Strip living in an environment that is deemed unsafe?
There is no Jewish State. Israel is a secular country that has Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Sheikh and Buddhist religions living there.
Tel Aviv is the country's official recognized capital.
The United States and two other countries claim Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. That also sparked tensions in the Middle East.
President Mahmoud Abbas who lives in the West Bank has not spoken to the United States since Washed Up 45 deferred the United States embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He has filed a criminal complaint with the International Criminal Court to seek prosecution of Netanyahu. The United States has blocked ICC officials from entering the U.S. and the Israeli government praised it.
Israel's right to defend itself is genocide on Palestinians.
The latest war crime is the attack on the free press. The Israeli military struck a building that houses the Associated Press, the BBC and Al Jazeera Media. The reason for the attack was to silence the media from reporting the criminal acts of the Israeli police and military. They want to shield the images of brutal attacks on the Gaza Strip. The images will force world leaders to call for an immediate halt to the violence. It will also damage the reputation of Israel.
The Israeli government claimed that Hamas was harboring people inside the skyscraper. The journalists covering the one side attack on the Gaza Strip said that Hamas were never there.
The Israeli government have soaked the minds of Americans with the notion that Hamas being the aggressors.
The Israeli people literally sit in their lawn chairs and hold parties whenever the military strikes the Gaza Strip.
This is war crimes.
It started when the Israeli government meddled with worshipers in the al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan. The Israeli government also allowed white nationalists to parade in the vicinity.
The far-right extremists were chanting "Death to Arabs" and "Sand Niggers Die." These images were censored by American tech companies Facebook and Twitter. The Israeli government also ramped up more forceful evictions of people living in East Jerusalem.
The Israeli police were shooting worshipers with rubber bullets and live ammunition. They were also attacking women and children. Those filming the police were brutally attacked to.
This stuff is not being condemned by Biden, Harris and Congress. This is being welcomed.
I support President Joe Biden like I've supported his mentor President Barack Obama. But these guys are wrong for not calling out Israel for this horrific violence. This violence should not go without punishment.
It's time to sanction Israel for war crimes. It's time for Netanyahu and Rivlin to be sent to the Hague.
Don't call me anti-Semitic because I'm calling the state of Israel a terrorist state! It's there in clear sights. The United States was always slow to doing something. They took forever to deal with South Africa during its apartheid.
Now it's time to pressure American companies to not do business with Israel. It's time for Americans to stand up against legislation that requires forcible removal from their employers because they criticize Israel.
Americans should not lose their jobs because they criticize Israel.
Biden is supposed to change the status quo. It appears he's not willing to do it until we pressure him to do so.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris announce fully vaccinated Americans can take the mask off.

The masks may soon be coming off. If you are fully vaccinated, you should be able to go into public and indoor facilities without a mask. It marks an end to a controversial debate over health and personal liberties.
The far-right has villainized Dr. Anthony Fauci. They have called him a "traitor" and made claims that he and China created the coronavirus. Some are demanding he go to federal time out for the pandemic.
Not one of them ever blamed Washed Up 45 for dropping the ball on one of the greatest tests of his disgraceful presidency.F
President Joe Biden on Thursday celebrated the federal government’s new guidance on mask-wearing as "a great milestone."
"I think it’s a great milestone, a great day," Biden said during remarks after walking out into the White House Rose Garden not wearing a mask. "It’s been made possible by the extraordinary success we’ve had in vaccinating so many Americans so quickly."
Biden spoke shortly after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new guidance saying fully vaccinated people no longer needed to wear a mask indoors or outdoors.
"If you’re fully vaccinated and can take your mask off, you have earned the right to do something that Americans are known for all around the world: greeting others with a smile. With a smile. So, it is a good day for the country."
Americans who have already been vaccinated "stepped up" and "did what I consider to be your patriotic duty," Biden said. "The simple truth is this: the American people have never, ever, ever, ever let their country down.”
The president recognized all of the first responders who have been on the front lines in the pandemic for over a year now. He thanked doctors, nurses, the U.S. military, researchers and drug companies, but he also expressed appreciation directly to the American people.
"For more than a year, you have endured so much and so many lost jobs, so many businesses lost, so many lives upended and so many months that our kids couldn't be in school. You couldn’t see your friends or family. All the moments that mattered so much from birthdays to weddings to graduations, all postponed. And most tragically of all, the lost lives," he said.
Vice President Kamala Harris stood beside him, also without a face covering.
The CDC announcement came as they were meeting with Republican senators in the Oval Office, and according to one senator in the meeting, the president and senators took off their masks midway through the meeting.
The agency had faced questions in recent days about whether it was moving too slowly to issue guidance permitting fully-vaccinated people to forgo masks in more instances, especially as more evidence showed how effective COVID-19 vaccines were at protecting people from becoming infected or seriously ill.
The CDC had previously said it was OK for fully vaccinated people to allow face coverings outdoors, unless they were in large gatherings.
The White House has repeatedly said it would follow the advice of government scientists.
Biden reiterated CDC guidance Thursday that said unvaccinated people should still wear a face covering in many situations.
He also asked Americans to be respectful of others if they see someone still wearing a mask because they want to feel more protected.
"You know, some may say, I just feel more comfortable continuing to wear a mask. They may feel that way. So if you’re someone with a mask, you see them, please treat them with kindness and respect. We've had too much conflict, too much bitterness, too much anger, too much politicization of this issue about wearing masks. Let's put it to rest."
The president's words are not going to change the minds of white nationalists within the Republican and Democratic Party. The extremists on far-right and far-left are going to pander to generate anger and profit.
Hence forth, the calls for civility being ignored.
White nationalists are likely not willing to follow mask mandates and get vaccinations.
So is it possible that opening up America still requires us to use an ounce of caution.
Republicans turned a global pandemic into another culture war issue where they seek an angry white base willing to put them back in power. Hence the nicknames of President Joe Biden being "Sleepy Joe" and "The Hoe" [derogatory remark] about Vice President Kamala Harris. The Republicans don't take the pandemic seriously. They have practically gaslighted America into believing masks are more dangerous than a deadly virus.
We have lost over 600,000 Americans to the coronavirus. Republicans want us to turn the page on the high number of deaths as well as the insurrection.

The white nationalist from Upstate New York will be the No. 3 leader in the Republican Party.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was selected by the Republican Party as the Minority Conference Chair. She and fellow House members quickly voted to remove Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from the position. Cheney is the daughter of former vice president, Dick Cheney.
Stefanik jockeyed for the position the moment that Washed Up 45 called out Cheney. He literally endorsed the New York white nationalist over the far more conservative Wyoming white nationalist.
The 37-year old from Watertown supported the former president about 75% of the time while Cheney, 54, supported him about 95% of the time.
The reason why Republicans ousted Cheney: She will not support the "Big Lie."
READ: Why I’m running for House Republican Conference Chair
A letter to my colleagues on my vision to unify our GOP Conference, win the Majority, and fight on behalf of the American people to save our country👇🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/JGE5IqhNJo
Thank you to my House GOP colleagues, President Trump, and my constituents in #NY21 for the opportunity to serve as House Republican Conference Chair. I am truly humbled and honored. pic.twitter.com/Seq6lrnh0R
Cheney was among 10 Republican House members who voted to impeach the former president for inciting a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Republicans convened around 8:30 a.m. ET at the Congressional Visitors Center, the same room where they expelled Cheney from the No. 3-ranking position by a voice vote two days earlier.
The vote for Stefanik was conducted by secret ballot. The final tally was 134-46.
Stefanik will be the cheerleader for the Republican comeback of 2022.
“My focus is on unity, because that’s what the American people, and that’s what our voters, deserve,” Stefanik told reporters after the vote.
She thanked Washed Up 45, who had endorsed her for the role over Cheney, calling the former president “a critical part of our Republican team.”
We will remain focused on fighting for the American people, growing our economy, reopening our schools, securing our borders, promoting energy independence, and protecting our Constitution.
The Far-Left media is MELTING DOWN over the thought of a UNITED Republican Party. They won’t tell you that the GOP is completely and totally focused on one thing, and that’s defeating Nancy Pelosi in 2022.
Cheney has been denounced within her party for refusing to stop blasting the former president for spreading baseless conspiracy theories about his election loss to President Joe Biden.
While federal officials said there was no widespread voter fraud and dozens of court cases from Washed Up 45’s allies failed to reverse any state’s election outcomes, the former president has nevertheless refused to concede to Biden. The former president continues to falsely assert he won the election, and that it was “stolen” from him.
Washed Up 45 “risks inciting further violence,” Cheney said on the House floor on the eve of the vote to strip her of her leadership role. He “continues to undermine our democratic process, sowing seeds of doubt about whether democracy really works at all,” she said.
Stefanik was endorsed by Washed Up 45 and House Republican leaders Kevin McCarthy of California and Steve Scalise of Louisiana, both of whom suggested Cheney’s focus was detracting from the GOP’s goal of winning back the House in 2022.
While Stefanik’s status as the front-runner to replace Cheney was never in doubt, some conservatives complained that the less-experienced congresswoman was not conservative enough for the job.
She faced a last-minute challenge from Texas Rep. Chip Roy, backed by Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado, and has faced criticism from some conservative groups.
“Elise Stefanik is NOT a good spokesperson for the House Republican Conference,” the conservative Club for Growth tweeted last week. “House Republicans should find a conservative to lead messaging and win back the House Majority.
The very same hypocrites picker the one lawmaker from the one state most Republicans hate. Like they could not pick a member from a state where Washed Up 45 carried.

American Idol has rounded it final contestants for the advancement. It appears that one of the finalist is already cut loose by default. This teenage named Caleb Kennedy is now facing ridicule and public ire after a video surfaced of doing a racist video.
The singer announced he will no longer be a part of American Idol. He apparently was sitting next to a person wearing a Klan hood.
American Idol, a part of the Fox Media and Disney confirmed that Kennedy is out and his videos were scrubbed from the YouTube page.
THIS SHOULD’VE STAYED IN YOUR DRAFTS: American Idol contestant Caleb Kennedy allegedly seen in a resurfaced with someone wearing a KKK hood. Caleb is allegedly blocking anyone who mentions the video, according to multiple reports. pic.twitter.com/9OKHmvOCEB
CNN has reached out to ABC, the network on which "American Idol" airs, for comment.
Kennedy, 16, confirmed his exit from the reality singing competition in a statement posted on his verified Instagram account Wednesday.
"Hey y'all, this is gonna be a bit of a surprise, but I am no longer gonna be on American Idol," the statement read. "There was a video that surfaced on the internet and it displayed actions that were not meant to be taken in that way. I was younger and did not think about the actions, but that's not an excuse."
The short video clip has been making the rounds on social media.
Kennedy, a high school student whose hometown is listed as Roebuck, South Carolina on his "Idol" bio, also wrote "I wanna say sorry to all my fans and everyone who I have let down."
"I'll be taking a little time off social media to better myself, but saying that, I know this has hurt and disappointed a lot of people and made people lose respect for me," he added. "I'm so sorry!"
"I pray that I can one day regain your trust in who I am and have your respect! Thank you for supporting me," his statement concluded.
Kennedy's mother, Anita Guy, told the Spartanburg Herald-Journal the clip is being taken out of context and said "I hate this has happened and how Caleb is being portrayed by people online."
"This video was taken after Caleb had watched the movie 'The Strangers: Prey at Night' and they were imitating those characters," she reportedly told the publication. "It had nothing to do with the Ku Klux Klan, but I know that's how it looks. Caleb doesn't have a racist bone in his body. He loves everyone and has friends of all races."
Sunday's episode of "American Idol" will reportedly feature the Top 4, with one contestant elimination.

The far right lawmaker is doing her white nationalist thang.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was accused of accosting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the hallways of the U.S. Capitol.
Greene, a freshman lawmaker who believes in conspiracy theories is an unapologetic Karen. She is a staunch supporter of Washed Up 45 and often uses her platform as a way to attract attention.
Ocasio-Cortez was a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his presidential bid. She has been also controversial in her rhetoric. Her antics have also attracted attention.
The two both have no accomplishments other than getting likes on social media. They both are too polarizing for my taste.
The Washington Post reported that Greene was pestering Ocasio-Cortez. The white nationalist was yelling and screaming that the New York lawmaker supported terrorists. The incident prompted Ocasio-Cortez's office to call House leadership to find ways to make sure all members are safe.
The Post confirms that the incident happened when Ocasio-Cortez left the House chamber. Greene would try to confront her and call her "AOC." That is the nickname the lawmaker uses on her handle.
Ocasio-Cortez ignored her and that prompted the white nationalist to start shouting at her.
Progressive lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has her share of controversy as well.
The white nationalist would shout: "You don't care about the American people. Why do you support terrorists and Antifa?"
Ocasio-Cortez turned once and threw her hands up in a "What the fuck you want?" motion.
She said something that the Post reporters couldn't determine and then walked away.
The spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez did confirm that incident happened.
Lauren Hitt said on behalf of the lawmaker: "Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to begin an argument with Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and when Representative Ocasio-Cortez tried to walk away, Congresswoman Greene began screaming and calling Representative Ocasio-Cortez a terrorist sympathizer. We hope leadership and the [U.S. House] Sergeant at Arms will take real steps to make Congress a safe, civil place for all Members and staff --- especially as many offices are discussing reopening. One Member already been forced to relocate her office due to Congresswoman Greene's attacks."
Fellow Squad member Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) had to relocate her office. She was about to go BLACK on Greene after she confronted her in the hallways of the House chamber not wearing a mask at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Greene called Ocasio-Cortez a "chicken" and said to the junk food media she "doesn't want to debate the Green New Deal."
"That's pathetic," said Greene.
Greene had said that she wants to debate Ocasio-Cortez and said she will read the New Green Deal beforehand.
Greene had previously posted on social media her ambushing of prominent lawmakers and people in the news. She was doing her style of confronting people who go against her Karen agenda.
She confronted David Hogg, the spokesman for Good Pillow and the March For Our Lives movement.
Hogg's confrontation as well as her postings on social media forced a House vote on the floor to strip her of her committee assignments. She literally have no committees or legislative power.
She and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) are rumored to start the America First Caucus. It is supposedly a white nationalist fantasy of promoting Anglo-Saxon principles and a pro-American stance on issues.
Gaetz is under federal under watch for sex trafficking and sleeping with an underage girl.
An offensive billboard in rural Maryland sparked controversy.

Yeah, the pearl clutchers. Just think if someone decided to post a sign off the highway saying that "If Trump Shitted On Himself, Republicans Would Give Him A Parade!"
The need to return to civility is one of the most challenging thing for Americans.
I am just a guilty as the next person when it comes to attacking folks. I literally name Fox News personality Sean Hannity, "Softball Hannity" as a jab. He is so fucking annoying and he a tool.
He has no moral decency and is a raging hypocrite. He lands on my list of people who will fall from grace.
The agitator will join Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh in the dustbin of history. They will go down as American pop culture's most controversial figures.
Now Republicans are still trying to grasp to the reality that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are in charge.
The President and Vice President won the election handily. Biden won the popular vote and electoral college without question. But to Donald J. Trump, who I refer as Washed Up 45, he believes the election was "stolen" from him.
The former president continues to push the dangerous narrative that the election was stolen because of early voting and mail-in voting. During the height of the global pandemic, the former president and his allies were concerned that mail-in voting would damage his chances of reelection.
Democrats were far more careful when it comes to dealing with a pandemic than Republicans. The former president did not encourage his supporters to vote by mail. He also didn't encourage safety when it came to the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
He lost the election on many fronts but the main reason why he lost was the handling of the pandemic.
Well it appears the Republican Party hasn't learned anything post-insurrection. Over in Calvert County, Maryland, there was a billboard posted on a local road telling motorists that Biden and Harris have shit for brains.
It reads: "Don’t Blame Trump! You Are Stuck With These Two Shitheads!!! From All Your Deplorables in Calvert County."
It also includes cartoon-like drawings of the president and vice president's heads on top of poop emojis.
The sign faces northbound traffic on Route 4 at Bowie Shop Road in Huntingtown.
A statement posted on the Calvert County Government Facebook page explains that the county "Cannot regulate sign content based on the Supreme Court case decision Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015). The Calvert County local sign regulations are based on location, materials and size, not verbiage. Regulating any content based on the Supreme Court decision would be illegal."
County Board of Commissioners President Earl “Buddy” Hance reiterated this at Tuesday’s meeting.
"There is nothing that we as county government can do for language that's on a legal sign," Hance said. "This country was built on the foundation of free speech, and sometimes we like what that free speech says and sometimes we don't."
Despite this, the Calvert County Democratic Central Committee is condemning the message and demanding it be taken down immediately.
In its own statement posted to Facebook, the committee's chair, Jeanette Flaim, calls the billboard "deeply disturbing."
"This does not reflect the values of our County, regardless of party. Our county is home to a myriad of families who must drive by this on their way from school or work. Our county welcomes visitors from far and wide. Parents should not have to explain something so vile to their small children. And it certainly shouldn’t be what our visitors remember us for," Flaim said.
Another message posted on the same billboard went viral online in 2018. It read: "Hey Liberals Better Get Your Guns If You Try To Impeach President Trump." The tagline made it clear it was put up by the same group of so-called "deplorables," a reference to supporters of Washed Up 45.
Just so you don't forget.... Democratic House candidate Nina Turner had once said that voting for Joe Biden is like "eating a half a bowl of shit. It's still shit."
I am certain this billboard will make me more inclined to oppose her bid for Congress. My focus is literally to mind my business. However attention on the political agitators of the left and right has made the country more polarizing and extreme.
The former president has change politics forever. His behavior has turned our country into a hot mess.
Your friends and family members who supported him are more dangerous than you know!
