Kamala Did One Good Thing In Campaign Cycle

November 13, 2024

by John Loftus

Thanks to former Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, celebrity politics is dead. Democrats have increasingly relied on mega-famous celebrities to campaign on their behalf. In 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden had the backing of Hollywood and the music industry and all of its glittering stars. And this year, in 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris picked up … Read more

Wealthy one-percenters with private jets are miffed that their flight plans and travel are public. Thanks to the internet machine, the comings and goings of the climate cult elite are being shared with people who actually think any of that matters, and the backlash has been beautiful.

As I’ve blogged about before, only a tiny fraction of all US counties contain the vast majority of COVID19 deaths. New Jersey and New York have most of them. So, what does America’s “Pandemic” look like without those two. This chart shows the difference.

Election Hangover – Celebrity Endorsements That Crashed and Burned

Where the Celebrity Money In Politics Is…As If You Didn’t Know

One of the best sources for large dollar Political Donation history is Newsmeat.com. I use it often, as regular readers may have noticed, but one of the features I have not used is the ability to look at large lists of Celebrities, Executives, Politicians, Media people, and see their contributions and party preferences.

The donation amounts are total reported (including all single donations of $200.00 or more) since 1978. Donations under $200.00, if any, are not going to be included. But you won’t be terribly surprised with the celebrities list–a snippet of which is posted on the jump. That list includes actors, directors, producers singers, writers, radio personalities and so on. Take note of the % columns and how much is donated to each party or special interest groups. (Click on the name to see their specific donation history and what groups they support.)

Oh. They also point out how many winners and losers each has “backed ” in the WIN/LOSS column. And Newsmeat says the entire list is updated every Monday so it is up to date. (Newsmeat also has news, by the way.)

The real fun, I think, is looking for which of these popular people actually support Republicans since they are so few and far between compared to the liberal/Progressive support that dominates this industry–and dominate it does.

The Big table…on the jump….is just A through C. Here’s the link if you want to browse the other parts of the list.
