Ellen DeGeneres Blames Trump for her Exodus
I'm Tomi Lahren, more next.
Now I didn't vote for Donald Trump so that annoying loudmouth liberal celebrities would leave the country, but it's certainly a bonus perk!
Especially in the case of known bully and disgraced talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
She told the BBC in an interview that while her and her wife's adventure to the UK countryside was intended to be part-time, after Trump won the election last November they decided to make it permanent.
Lucky us!
And the same sentiment goes to her pal Rosie O'Donnell who also fled the greatest country on the face of the Earth due to an election that didn't go her way!
Rosie, of course, moved to Ireland and we all hope she stays there!
But there's something pretty ironic about the places these disgruntled celebrities chose to flee to…they are in Europe.. and to places that are predominantly white and highly developed…
They aren't going to Haiti or Somalia or the Gaza Strip… funny how that works, isn't it?
Regardless, the USA is better without them in it!

Guide: Important issues on the ballot for Hillsdale, Wheatland, Somerset on Aug. 5
Voters in Hillsdale, Wheatland Township and Somerset Township will head to the ballot box Aug. 5 to decide on an operating millage for Addison Community Schools and narrow down a mayoral race from four candidates to two. The current operating millage at Addison Community Schools will expire this year. If voters opt to renew the proposed 19-mill rate through 2030, the district will receive approximately $4,162,646 in 2026. The deciding voters live in Somerset Township and Wheatland Township. Meanwhile, in the city of Hillsdale, voters will proceed to the Hillsdale Community Library on Aug. 5 to narrow down a mayoral race to two candidates. The winner in November will fill the partial term vacated by former Mayor Adam Stockford when he resigned Dec. 1, 2024, with two years left. Who are the mayoral candidates in Hillsdale? The candidates include: Matthew Bentley Ward 2 Councilman Matt Bentley was the first candidate to announce a campaign for Hillsdale's top-elected position. Bentley said he was asked by Mayor Pro Tem Joshua Paladino to run for office in 2024, when former Councilmember Cynthia Pratt announced she wouldn't seek re-election. Bentley has been a staunch opponent of a proposed road diet for M-99 through the heart of downtown Hillsdale. Scott Sessions Former Mayor Scott Sessions, predecessor to Stockford, announced his candidacy shortly after Bentley, taking issue with Paladino's leadership style and opposing various actions of the new council. Sessions served as a councilmember from 2011 to 2013, then as mayor from 2013 to 2017. Rob Socha Ward 4 Councilman Rob Socha, now in his second term, has also announced his candidacy. Socha has backed some of Paladino's efforts for change, but the two have often found themselves in opposing positions. Socha believes there's a need for continuity and civility in Hillsdale, including retaining staff talent. Cathy Kelemen Cathy Kelemen, a former elections commission committee member, has also announced her candidacy, saying she wants to be a 'voice for the people." She intends to hold townhall-style meetings for open dialogue with Hillsdale's residents if elected. — Contact reporter Corey Murray at cmurray@ or follow him on X, formerly Twitter, at @cmurrayhdn.

MasterChef contestant edited out of new series after objecting to it being broadcast
A contestant from the new series of MasterChef has reportedly been edited out after she objected to the show, which features sacked hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode, being broadcast. Sarah Shafi, a management development partner for St John Ambulance from Leeds, is said to have told the producers of the show that airing it would send the wrong message to women following the misconduct allegations against Wallace. Although Shafi had initially rejected an offer by MasterChef producers Banijay to edit her out of the episode in which she appears, she later reversed her decision after it was announced that the BBC would be airing the show from 6 August. Speaking to the Guardian, Shafi said: 'I didn't say, 'edit me out'. I said: 'Axe the show, don't air the show. I'm asking you not to air the show.' Prominent figures have been abusing their power. What message does that send out to women?' A report published earlier this month upheld 45 of 83 allegations against Wallace, including one of unwelcome physical contact. Several claims of inappropriate sexual language and humour were substantiated. Torode was dropped shortly afterwards after an allegation of racist language used by the chef was substantiated during the investigation into Wallace's behaviour. Shafi claims that after the accusations against Wallace emerged, she had 'quite a heated conversation' with a producer from Banijay. The 57-year-old says that she was 'flabbergasted' after being told about the 'potential solution' to edit her out of the show. She added: 'I said I am completely against this airing of the show. I object to it strongly. This is the principle I'm standing by. I'm objecting to the show being aired, not about me being in it.' Shafi also suggested that MasterChef make a special episode that is dedicated to the alleged victims, which 'excludes those prominent figures' and 'focuses on the talent'. Upon announcing that the series would be shown, a BBC spokesperson said: 'After careful consideration and consultation with the contestants, we have decided to broadcast the amateur series of MasterChef.' The corporation acknowledged that 'not everyone will agree' with what it recognised as a difficult decision. In a statement given to The Independent, the BBC said: 'As we said when we announced the show would be aired, this was not an easy decision in the circumstances and we appreciate not everyone would agree with it. Banijay consulted with all the contestants before that decision was made and there was widespread support for it going ahead. We are sorry that this contestant does not support the decision and we are grateful she raised this with both the BBC and Banijay.' A spokesperson for Banijay said in a separate statement: 'We are sorry that Sarah does not support the decision to air this series of MasterChef. We carefully considered her concerns about broadcasting the series and discussed them with the BBC. However, having consulted with all contributors in the series ahead of the decision being made, the resounding feeling from those taking part was support for airing the series.' In response to the report, Wallace said he is 'deeply sorry for any distress' caused by the findings and that he 'never set out to harm or humiliate' anyone with his behaviour. The host also said in a lengthy statement released on Instagram that he had been formally diagnosed with autism, and suggested that his neurodiversity was 'suspected and discussed by colleagues across countless seasons' of the show.

'Make America Shipbuilding Great Again' package key to reaching trade deal, South Korea says
SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korean Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol said on Thursday that a shipbuilding partnership package dubbed "Make America Shipbuilding Great Again" was key to the agreement on tariffs between the U.S. and South Korea. The partnership worth about $150 billion will be led by South Korean shipbuilders to rebuild the U.S. shipbuilding industry, Koo said. To seek better tariff terms, South Korean officials had sought to woo Trump with a shipbuilding tie-up including repairing the U.S. navy fleet, as Washington struggles to keep up with China's huge naval buildup. "The most noteworthy aspect of today's agreement is the $150 billion South Korea-U.S. shipbuilding cooperation package, so-called MASGA, Make America Shipbuilding Great Again," Koo said. "I think the MASGA project contributed most significantly to today's agreement," Koo told a briefing. Koo and other ministers met U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House to cut a deal to lower tariffs on South Korean imports before an August 1 deadline set by Trump. During their meeting, Trump said he wanted to see ships being built in the U.S. "as quickly as possible" under the partnership, Koo said. The MASGA project includes the construction of new shipyards in the U.S., the training of shipbuilding personnel and U.S. Navy ship maintenance, South Korean government officials say. Challenges remain for Korean investments in U.S. shipyards or building ships there, experts say, including, for example, difficulties obtaining parts such as steel plates. South Korea's defence-to-shipbuilding conglomerate Hanwha Group has been expanding in U.S. shipbuilding. Its affiliates Hanwha Systems and Hanwha Ocean acquired Pennsylvania-based Philly Shipyard for $100 million last year. Shares in shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean ended 13% higher on Thursday, following news of the tariff agreement, including the shipbuilding partnership. But reflecting the impact of taking on the U.S. investment, Hanwha Systems, which owns a 60% stake in Philly Shipyard, reported this week a 60% fall in second-quarter operating profits due to costs from its acquisition of Philly Shipyard.
