Mitt Romney in a new biography. A spokesperson for Winfrey tells The Hollywood Reporter that, despite a claim in a new book, Winfrey was never considering a run for president in 2020 and did not ask Romney to join her on a ticket. “In November 2019, Ms. Winfrey called Senator Romney to encourage him to run on an Independent ticket,” the spokesperson says. “She was...

Oprah Winfrey reportedly suggested running for president alongside Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on a unity ticket in 2020 to thwart former President Trump’s reelection hopes. Romney disclosed to The Atlantic staff writer McKay Coppins that the media mogul pitched the unity ticket with the moderate senator “to save the country,” according to book excerpts published by Axios. Coppins’s book “Romney: A Reckoning” comes out next week. Romney said he deflected the idea, pointing to his belief that such a push would benefit Trump’s reelection chances. A source familiar with Winfrey said she was never serious about running, though some confidants...

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...

Only Oprah Winfrey’s problem seems to be one of self immolation by association vice actual flames tickling her toes. For such a carefully cultivated image after all these decades, old girl’s been coming apart at the seams these past few weeks, with jarring, insensitive gazillionaire misstep after misstep. 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. So far, it is estimated that nearly a thousand people have died. Locals are worried this includes hundreds of children who were home due to school being canceled that day. 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. He made that promise during his 2021 anti-recall campaign, and a new article from the Associated Press' Michael R. Blood conveys the extent to which the governor may have boxed himself in. While many Black Democrats expect the governor to follow through on his pledge, the two candidates who seemed the most likely at the time of the pledge — Reps. Barbara Lee and Karen...
