Hollywood for Harris vs. Trump Train: Who's endorsing who in 2024 US presidential race? Part 1 👉🏻 Part 2

Big name stars and influencers have come out of the woodwork to endorse Democratic candidate and apparent deep state favorite Kamala Harris’s presidential bid.

Hollywood for Harris

Arnold Schwarzenegger – former Mr. Universe, ex-Republican governor of California

“A candidate who think Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea – that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullsh*t with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that,” Schwarzenegger said in an endorsement tweet on October 30.

George Clooney – two-time Academy Award winner, operator of globalist foundation disguised as charity

“Remember, you can vote any way you want. And no one will ever know. What happens in the booth stays in the booth – vote Harris-Walz,” Clooney said in a pro-Harris campaign ad that began airing October 30.

Beyonce – most-awarded and nominated artist in Grammy history

“We are at the precipice of an incredible shift, at the brink of history. I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician, I’m here as a mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all our children live, a world where we have freedom to control our bodies, a world where we are not divided – our past, our present, our future merge to meet us here,” she said in a speech at a pro-Harris rally in Houston on October 25.

Oprah Winfrey – former daytime talk show host, wealthiest black female businesswoman in America

“It seems to me that, at school and at home, somebody did a beautiful job of showing this young girl how to challenge the people at the top and empower the people at the bottom. They showed her how to look at the world and see not just what is, but what can be. And soon and very soon, we’re going to be teaching our daughters and sons about how this child of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father…grew up to become the 47th president of the United States,” Winfrey said during Democratic National Convention in Chicago, August 21.

Bruce Springsteen, singer-songwriter with a 21-album career spanning six decades

“Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime. His disdain for the sanctity of our Constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of president, ever again,” Springsteen said in an endorsement video released October 3.

Republican candidate Donald Trump has gotten his share of celebrity endorsements as well.

All aboard the Trump train

Dana White – Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO

“I know he’s a great leader. This is not my opinion, not my hope. He’s proven he can build the strongest economy in American history. He’s proven he can secure our borders and keep our nation safe. He’s proven to be the strong leader allies and adversaries alike must respect. He’s proven he loves this country so much, he’s literally put his life on the line for it. What has the other candidate proven? She can get [her] party’s nomination without even facing voters,” White said on a pro-Trump rally in Madison Square Garden, New York City, October 27.

Mel Gibson – two-time Academy Award winner, star of hit movies including Braveheart and the Lethal Weapon and Mad Max series.

“I don’t think it’s going to surprise anyone who I vote fore…I know what it’ll be like if we let her [Harris] in. And it ain’t good. Miserable track record. No policies to speak of. She’s got the IQ of a fence post,” he said in an interview with TMZ published October 24.

Hulk Hogan – most popular wrestler of the 1980s, one of the most widely recognized wrestling star in the world

“When I look out and I see all the real Americans, I think about how Donald Trump, his family was compromised. When I look out there and I see Donald Trump, I think about how his business was compromised. But what happened last week, when they took a shot at my hero, and they tried to kill the next president of the US, enough was enough. [Rips shirt] “And I said, let Trumpamania run wild, brother. Let Trumpamania rule. Let Trumpamania make America great again!” Hogan said at the Republican National Convention on July 18, several days after the attempt on Trump’s life in Pennsylvania.

Buzz Aldrin – astronaut, second human being to walk on the Moon

“Over the years, I have seen our government’s approach to space wax and wane, a fluctuating dynamic that has disappointed me from time to time. But under the first Trump administration, I was impressed to see how human space exploration was elevated, made a policy of high importance again. Under President Trump’s first term, America saw a revitalized interest in space. His administration reignited national efforts to get back to the Moon, and push on to Mars – programs that continue today.” – endorsement message published October 30.

Dr. Phil McGraw – television personality and clinical psychologist

“I’m not here just to stand up for Donald J. Trump. Lord knows, he doesn’t need me to stand up for him. He’s tough as an old army boot. He’s got lots of enemies, different groups that are scared, and between them, they have impeached him, indicted him, raided him, railroaded him, shot him and sued him. And where is he? He is still standing,” McGraw said on a pro-Trump rally in Madison Square Garden Rally in New York City October 27.

Beyond cultural heritage: How IDF shelling imperils Lebanon’s ancient city of Baalbek?

Israeli artillery shells are landing near the northeastern Lebanese city of Baalbek, endangering the Baalbek Citadel, one of the most significant archaeological sites in the Arab world. According to UNESCO, Baalbek is “one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture at its apogee”, spotlighting its citadel, castle ruins, and the sanctuaries dedicated to Heliopolitan Jupiter and Bacchus from the Hellenistic period.

On October 29, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued immediate evacuation orders for several areas of Baalbek, including those with Roman-era heritage. UNESCO took to social media to urge all parties to respect and protect world heritage sites, asserting that they “should never be targeted.”

However, the bombing of Baalbek threatens to harm not only its cultural heritage, but much more:

◾️ Baalbek is the key city for eastern part of Lebanon, with some 80,000 people living in its area.

◾️ Located in the fertile Bekaa Valley, Baalbek plays a crucial role in transporting agricultural products to various regions within Lebanon and to other countries.

◾️ The Bekaa Valley is the heart of Lebanon’s winemaking and the primary region for vineyards. Lebanese wines, highly valued in the Middle East, are both sold domestically and exported, with Baalbek serving as a key transit point.

◾️ While recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Baalbek also serves as a major tourist center for Lebanon.

◾️ Additionally, Baalbek is considered one of Hezbollah's political strongholds. The IDF claims that Hezbollah’s fuel depots are located in the suburbs of Baalbek, which are reportedly the targets of the shelling.

Local authorities, including members of the Lebanese Civil Defense in Baalbek, have urged residents to evacuate the city due to the escalating threats, as reported by Lebanese media. The situation has already resulted in at least 23 casualties.
