Do you personally believe Oprah Winfrey would make a good US Senator from California?

Do you recall the days when a celebrity endorsement actually meant something? It’s a journey back in time, but there was an era when a celebrity’s words carried a lot of influence, and people paid attention to what they said. I understand that might sound somewhat unbelievable, given the current landscape we’re in. Celebrities have plummeted in the ranks to the point where folks often do the exact opposite of what Hollywood elites suggest just to snub their noses at them. There was a poll conducted in 2019 about “celebrity influence” and how it was significantly dropping. Imagine how much...

The things that might have passed unnoticed otherwise have been magnified by the enormous loss of life and property, the scope of the overall devastation, parcity of the emergency and relief response, and miserable performance of elected officials. Let’s face it – Maui residents are pissed off. They might have been a...

I’m talking about the fire that has destroyed the historic town of Lahaina, on the island of Maui, Hawaii. One of the most beautiful places in the world. Lahaina was the capitol of the Kingdom of Hawaii until 1959 when the United States took possession of it. But on August 8, this beautiful little town of 13,000 people was completely destroyed by fire. Approximately 2,000 structures were incinerated; 87% of them, single-family homes.

An unsubstantiated online conspiracy theory is blaming Oprah Winfrey for the devastating wildfires in Maui, where the TV host owns a property. Wildfires began sweeping through the Hawaiian island last week, fueled by Hurricane Dora. The number of fatalities stands at 111 so far, with over 1,000 people still missing. West Maui in particular was ravaged by blazes, including the seaside town of Lahaina, an hour away from where the 69-year-old Winfrey owns a ranch. The media mogul was spotted supporting survivors at an emergency shelter at Wailuku's War Memorial Complex, where a CBS News crew filmed her handing out...

Survivors of the Maui fire say that they received no warning and that the flames appeared so quickly that escape was difficult. Everything was suddenly in flames and many found refuge in the ocean for hours while their homes burned to the ground and into the same powdery ash footprint we’ve seen in recent years.

Several people are reporting that the government is not only doing little to help but...

Among the many plot lines in the Dianne Feinstein saga is Gov. Gavin Newsom's pledge to appoint a Black woman to replace the 89-year-old should a vacancy arise before her term expires in January 2025.
