IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump has raised concerns over whether Kamala Harris compensated entertainment elites for their endorsements during her struggling 2024 presidential campaign. In a post on Truth Social on Monday morning, Trump raised the possibility, suggesting a potential investigation into whether election laws were violated.

“According to news reports, Beyoncé was paid $11,000,000 to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off to loud booing for never having performed, NOT EVEN ONE SONG!” Trump wrote, continuing: “Remember, the Democrats and Kamala illegally paid her millions of Dollars for doing nothing other than giving Kamala a full throated ENDORSEMENT.”

He added: “THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ELECTION SCAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! IT IS AN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION! BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OPRAH, BONO AND, PERHAPS, MANY OTHERS, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!”

The President’s accusations come amid renewed attacks from Bruce Springsteen, who drew Trump’s ire last week. During the 2024 presidential campaign, Springsteen announced his support for Harris, stating, “Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”

At a campaign rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Harris received backing from a host of Hollywood stars, including Samuel L. Jackson, Spike Lee, and Tyler Perry. Meanwhile, pop icon Beyoncé Knowles-Carter endorsed Harris during a rally in Houston, Texas, focusing her remarks on abortion.

“I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” Beyoncé stated. “Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations.”

Trump’s Truth Social post suggests he believes these endorsements may warrant scrutiny under election law. Notably, campaign finance records indicate that the Harris campaign paid at least $1 million to Oprah‘s production company. This payment was supposedly in exchange for the company’s assistance with the “United for America” livestream rally featuring numerous celebrities and endorsements in September 2024.

Meanwhile, only two-thirds of Taylor Swift fans supported Harris, according to the data produced by J.L. Partners, while Trump managed to win over 29 percent of ‘Swifties’ despite her endorsement of the Democrat.

These ‘Celebs’ Are Descending on Chicago for the DNC.

As the Democratic National Convention approaches, arrangements for paid appearances by celebrities, entertainers, and musical acts are being finalized. While the convention‘s agenda is not yet public, several after-parties and side events have announced music act headliners and Hollywood celebrity guests.

Among the expected glitterati will be film and television stars like Uma Thurman, Disney‘s Danai Gurira, who has featured in the Marvel “Black Panther” movie, “Young Sheldon” actor Iain Armitage and Uzo Aduba of “Orange is the New Black” and “Mrs. America.” These celebrities are rumored to be among the audience during the Wednesday night concert series hosted by former Representative Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) and her husband, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ).

JOAN JETT & DRAG QUEENS.

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will headline the Giffords event at the Ramova Theater in Chicago. Other acts include Drive-By Truckers and SistaStrings. Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer is slated to host the concert.

In addition to major film celebrities and an 80s rockstar, the pro-LGBTQ Equality PAC will host a Monday night party in Chicago‘s gay Boys Town neighborhood. Several stars from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” are expected to attend, including Chad Michaels, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, and Jackie Cox. Also, on Monday night, there will be concert appearances by 90s pop-punk act Jimmy Eat World and rapper Lil Jon.

JOHN LEGEND, TAYLOR SWIFT, & BEYONCE? 

Democratic Party booster and three-time Grammy Award winner John Legend will headline a concert on Tuesday night sponsored by billionaire and DNC host Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL). Legend has baselessly accused former President Donald J. Trump of being racist “at his core,” claiming he “believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity, and it’s racially determined.”

On the final night of the DNC, the Future Forward SuperPAC will host a concert aimed at youth voters. The event will also serve as a fundraiser for the Harris campaign-aligned group. While there haven’t been any official announcements regarding the musical talent, there is rampant speculation that Beyoncé or Taylor Swift could appear.

Ketanji Hauls $1.5M in ONE YEAR, But Media FREAKS Over Clarence Thomas’s $100K.

Left-wing activists and Democrats seeking to undermine the legitimacy of the U.S. Supreme Court have repeatedly attacked Justice Clarence Thomas over allegations that he received $4 million in gifts over the past 33 years on the bench. However, these activists are ignoring the lucrative secret incomes being raked by the more liberal wing of the court, including its newest and most progressive member, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

As revealed in recent financial disclosures, U.S. Supreme Court justices reported a collective $1.5 million in book income last year. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the highest earner from book advances, receiving $893,750 for her forthcoming memoir. That marks a nearly $1 million earning in a single year, compared to Justice Thomas, who has been under unrelenting pressure for $4 million in alternative earnings over a period of 33 years—or just over $100,000 per year.

Other valuable items and side income received by justices include concert tickets and royalties from voiceover work on children’s television programming. Justice Brett Kavanaugh reported $340,000 for what the court described as a “legal memoir.” Both Justices Neil Gorsuch and Sonia Sotomayor also reported minor earnings from book income.

Justice Jackson also reported receiving four concert tickets from singer Beyonce, valued at $3,712, and two artworks for her chambers valued at $12,500. Justice Samuel Alito, following his usual practice, obtained a 90-day extension to file his report.

Sotomayor reported earning $1,879 from Fred Rogers Productions for her voiceover work on the children’s animated show “Alma’s Way.” Additionally, three justices reported income from teaching engagements. Gorsuch earned $29,798 from George Mason University, followed by Kavanaugh with $25,000 from the University of Notre Dame Law School. Justice Amy Coney Barrett received $14,947 from Notre Dame Law School.

DATA: Trump More Popular Than Beyonce, DeSantis Less Liked Than Kamala (According to Ron’s Own Pollster).

A recent NBC News poll indicates that the right to kill babies in the womb as well as the abstract notion of protecting America’s “democracy” are the two foremost concerns for single-issue voters, ostensibly ranking higher than immigration and the border, and indeed the economy.

According to the survey, 19 percent of single-issue voters declared that safeguarding democracy or constitutional rights was their paramount issue. The closely trailing concern was the right to abortion, with 18 percent citing it as their primary single-issue.

The poll, which surveyed 1,000 voters between November 10-14, revealed that besides democracy and abortion rights, the only other concern to exceed 10 percent was immigration or border security, reported by 14 percent of those polled. Gun rights stood at nine percent.

Popularity Contest.

The poll also found a massive disapproval rating for Biden and his economy, foreign policy, and discovered that a record 76 percent of voters do not feel confident about leaving the country in a better shape for their children.

Thirty-six percent of people feel positive about Biden, the same number as Donald Trump. Kamala Harris has a 29 percent positive rating, polling higher than Ron DeSantis who is on 27 points. By comparison to so-called “popular celebrities”, Taylor Swift has a 40 percent positive rating, with Beyonce on just 33 percent.

Israel is popular with 47 percent of Americans, with “Palestine” only drawing support from one in five (20 percent).

The poll was conducted by Hart Research and Public Opinion Strategies (POS), the latter of which is closely affiliated with the DeSantis campaign, making the Florida Governor’s unpopularity in the data even more humiliating.
