Nigel Farage Wins Public Plaudits on UK’s ‘I’m A Celebrity’ Reality Show.

Brexit leader Nigel Farage has already begun winning over fans of the British reality TV show “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here,” despite his participation in this year’s series initially causing a stir amongst the British public.

Farage, 59, won his first “trial” on the first episode on Sunday evening, during which he was forced to hunt for tokens inside a camper van of snakes using only his mouth. The Brexit leader once daubed “Nasty Nige” by Britain’s far-left has already received praise from the show’s viewers, with many remarking that the former leader of UKIP “comes across really well.”

“You know what, I don’t agree with his politics, but Nigel Farage comes across really well on I’m A Celeb,” said one viewer.

“Watching I’m A Celeb and Nigel Farage seems to be such a chill dude. Like him a lot,” stated another.

Farage has in fact been trending on social media for days now, with his presence on the show eclipsing almost all other news items in the country.

The show itself has been running since the early 2000s, with millions of people tuning in to watch celebrities undertake survival-themed trials and challenges every year.

Farage is believed to have received upwards of £1.5 million ($1.869 million) for participating.

Palestinian Officials Ban Christmas Decorations in Bethlehem, Christ’s Birthplace, to ‘Honor’ Hamas ‘Martyrs’.

Palestinian officials are taking apart Christmas decorations in Bethlehem, the city of Christ’s birth, and will not allow the tree and lights traditionally put up over the holiday to go up.

“Bethlehem Municipality crews [are] dismantling of Christmas decorations installed several years ago in the city’s neighborhoods and removing all festive appearances in honor of the martyrs and in solidarity with our people in Gaza,” the officials stated.

“The reason is the general situation in Palestine; people are not really into any celebration, they are sad, angry and upset; our people in Gaza are being massacred and killed in cold blood,” a spokesman for the municipality explained to the British press.

“Therefore, it is not appropriate at all to have such festivities while there is a massacre happening in Gaza and attacks in the West Bank,” he added.

Over the last 50 years, Christians have declined from being over 80 percent of Bethlehem’s population to less than 20 percent, and they have received significant harassment from the Palestinian Authority and local Muslims despite an official policy of toleration.

Kanye West’s New ‘Vultures’ Track Features Lyric: ‘How I’m Anti-Semitic? I Just Fucked a Jewish B*tch.’

Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West‘s newest song appears to show him poking fun at his long-standing flirtation with anti-Semitism, with lyrics that state: “How I’m Anti-Semitic? I Just Fucked a Jewish B*tch.”

West – or ‘Ye’ – caused intense controversy last year after appearing to praise Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, subsequently appearing in Paris alongside commentator Candace Owens. At the time, he was receiving political advice from disgraced gay activist Milo Yiannopoulos, as well as ‘groyper’ Nick Fuentes.

Since then, West parted ways with the latter two, suspending his campaign for President of the United States in the meantime.

‘One Million Moms’ to Boycott Macy’s for Transgendered Thanksgiving Parade.

One Million Moms is petitioning against the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for turning the event into a “non-binary and transgender extravaganza”.

The petition, which had gathered over 32,000 signatures at the time of publication, complains the parade is no longer family-friendly, with performers including the likes of non-binary cross-dresser Alex Newell.

“It is clear that Macy’s does not have our children’s best interests in mind,” One Million Moms states, adding that the corporation “needs to know that trust must be earned, and once trust is lost, it is difficult to get back.”

The statement petitioners are putting their name to explains they “do not agree with the LGBTQ agenda [Macy’s] are pushing on families,” and that “[s]ince this event goes against our beliefs and values, Macy’s has left conservative and Christian families with no choice but to avoid the parade and its store” during the holiday season.

U.S. City Effectively Bans Public Homosexuality.

In June, the City of Murfreesboro, Tennessee adopted an anti-‘indecent behavior’ ordinance that effectively bans homosexuality along with indecent exposure, public indecency, lewd behavior, nudity or sexual conduct. The ordinance’s ban on homosexuality appears to have only become public after city officials began enforcing the statute to remove pornographic and lewd books from city libraries.

The Murfreesboro Municipal Code Section 21-72 defines “sexual conduct” as “…acts of masturbation, homosexuality, sexual intercourse, or physical contact with a person’s clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks or, if such person be a female, breast.” To remove books from city libraries, however, officials have used the Code’s definition of “harmful to minors” which includes:

(2) is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole with respect to what is suitable material for minors; and, (3) the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

In October, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the city on behalf of the Tennessee Equality Project (TEP), asking a federal court to declare the ordinance ‘unconstitutional’.  According to the ACLU “…the Murfreesboro mayor and city manager engaged in a yearlong, concerted anti-LGBTQ+ campaign to chill TEP and Murfreesboro residents’ protected speech and expression, culminating in the city establishing an official policy prohibiting the issuance of permits to TEP.”

In late October, Chief U.S. District Court Judge Waverly Crenshaw Jr. issued a temporary order blocking Murfreesboro city officials from enforcing the ordinance to ban the BoroPride Festival.

STAY CLASSY: Bill Burr’s Wife Nia Hill Appears to Flip Trump Off at UFC 295 Event.

Nia Hill, wife of comedian Bill Burr, was spotted at UFC 295 on Saturday night seemingly gesturing negatively towards former President Donald Trump. This occurred when Trump made his appearance on the jumbotron at Madison Square Garden.

The couple was seated within the same area as Trump, though one camera angle on Hill’s gestures suggests they were possibly directed at the camera rather than at the former President seated to her right. The mixed interpretations of the incident has drawn significant attention on social media, with many pointing out that Hill has long opposed Trump, once even tweeting that she hoped he would contract the novel coronavirus in March 2020.

Burr’s comedy spans a broad spectrum, criticizing both progressive “wokeness” and right-wingers, though in recent years he has noticeably pulled to the political left.

San Francisco Kicks Homeless Out of the City Center To Impress China’s Xi Jinping.

San Francisco officials cleared the city of its thousands of homeless, drug addicts, and dealers over the past several days in preparation for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, which will see China‘s President Xi Jinping visiting the city to participate in the event.

The homeless population residing in the city center, including outside the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building, was shifted to other neighborhoods, while the open drug use markets were temporarily shut down or moved to cover up the extent of the lawlessness.

The Moscone Center, where the APEC Summit is being held until November 17, has also been barricaded so the homeless population cannot repopulate the area before the conference concludes. Other, notorious areas of San Francisco – such as Van Ness Avenue, California Street, and Taylor Street – were similarly cleared.

“They started clearing the tents earlier this week and there is definitely a lot more police presence,” explained one local resident. “They’ve cleared out the tents that were near the Moscone Center on Howard Street, which tells me the city had the capability to do this all along — instead they just do the bare minimum.”

“Once APEC is gone, police presence will start to simmer down again, the tents will return. And it will slowly flare up again,” the resident added.

The APEC Summit is expected to draw around 20,000 people to the city, making it the largest international event to occur in San Francisco since the signing of the charter creating the United Nations in 1945. The Chinese President is planning to meet Joe Biden personally at the event.

Elon Musk Movie, Directed by Black Swan’s Darren Aronofsky, Coming Soon.

A biographical film focusing on tech entrepreneur Elon Musk is slated for production, with renowned director Darren Aronofsky confirmed for the project, according to confirmation received by Variety. Aronofsky is highly regarded for his psychologically intense and often surrealist filmmaking style, with noteworthy projects such as “Requiem for a Dream,” “Black Swan,” and “Mother!” under his belt. The screenplay for this biopic will be grounded in the authorized biography of Musk penned by Walter Isaacson, who also wrote “Steve Jobs,” which was adapted by Universal into a namesake 2015 film starring Michael Fassbender.

It’s noteworthy that the selection of Isaacson’s biography was the subject of intense competition amongst studios and filmmakers, before A24 landed the deal. Aronofsky, whose latest directorial venture, “The Whale”, was in the running for last year’s Oscars, is respected for infusing unique psychological elements into his narrative.

Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and CEO of Tesla, among other roles, has been consistently making news since the early 2000s. His recent and somewhat contentious acquisition of Twitter for a reported $44 billion, rebranding it as X, and implemented changes have sparked significant backlash. Amidst fluctuating fortunes, Musk, currently the world’s richest individual, has managed to amass a wealth estimated at over $200 billion according to Bloomberg and Forbes. The news about the upcoming biographical film was first reported by Puck.

DeSantis Gave ‘Women’s Spirit’ Award to Trans Man, Calling Him ‘Shining Role Model’ & ‘Mentor & Advocate to Children’.

Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis, a self-styled enemy of woke culture and politics, gave a women’s community spirit award to a transgender activist for the biological man’s contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the Sunshine State last year, lauding the man’s “shining example of a positive role model,” and referring to him as “Ms.”.

Ashley Brundage, a former vice president of DEI in the financial industry and board member of the LGBT advocacy group GLAAD, who claims to have “worked tirelessly to promote awareness and acceptance of gender identity and expression,” received a letter from the Florida Governor after being nominated for the prize. The letter from Governor DeSantis stated:

“I appreciate your dedication and hard work as a mentor and advocate to children and women.”

– Ron DeSantis to transgender man, 2022.

“As Governor, and the father of three children, I believe that community involvement is essential as we work to improve and enrich the lives of others and engage in the issues that impact Florida families… Keep up the great work,” his letter added.

DeSantis has forced his embrace of DEI and transgenderism deep into the closet, preferring to build much of his governorship and presidential campaign around his supposed “anti-woke” policies. He has regularly called for the elimination of DEI in the Sunshine State and remarked earlier this year, for example, “The whole experiment with DEI is coming to an end in the state of Florida.”

Asked by POLITICO to comment on the letter, the DeSantis campaign ignored requests.

WATCH: Jon Voight Dings Daughter Angelina Jolie’s ‘Lies’ on Israel-Hamas.

Jon Voight, famous actor and father of Angelina Jolie, has criticized his daughter’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war. He accuses Jolie of propagating what he calls “lies” on social media about the conflict. The actress, a previous special envoy of the UN High Commission for Refugees, has publicly accused Israel of executing deliberate attacks on children, women, and families deprived of basic necessities, asserting it as a violation of international law. In response, Voight expressed his disappointment in a video shared on X/Twitter, insisting on the necessity of the Israeli army to protect their country.

A surprise attack by Hamas on October 7 resulted in the death of approximately 1,400 Israelis, many civilians. Jolie reiterated her call for an immediate ceasefire and the provision of aid into Gaza.

In contrast, Voight defended the Israeli army. The Midnight Heat actor stressed this conflict relates to upholding the history and honor of the Holy Land. Voight’s comments have caused a stir, but no response from Jolie’s representatives has been reported yet. Jolie resigned as special envoy to the UNHCR in December 2022, having consistently advocated for displaced people and refugees’ rights and protection.
