Renowned actor and singer Barbra Streisand recently expressed her dissatisfaction with the current administration and her concerns about the potential presidency of a certain candidate.
In an interview on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert, Streisand, who previously campaigned for Hillary Clinton, mentioned her intention to leave the United States if that candidate secures the presidency.
When asked where she might consider moving, Streisand casually mentioned England as a possible destination. This is not the first time she has discussed the idea of relocating. In 2016, she had also mentioned Canada as a potential option if the same candidate won the presidency.
It is worth noting that Barbra Streisand, along with other celebrities likе Cher, Bryan Cranston, and Amy Schumer, had previously promised to leave the country if the candidate won in 2016. However, despite the election results, they ultimately chose to stay in the United States.
While celebrity voices often inspire conversations and discussions, it is important to remember that personal decisions regarding residency are subjective and can change over time.

Kinky Friedman, known for his satirical and often provocative style, has passed away at 79. A post on his social media announced, “Kinky Friedman stepped on a rainbow at his beloved Echo Hill surrounded by family & friends.

Richard Samet “Kinky” Friedman earned a cult following for his unique take on country and Western music.
He released numerous albums, starting with “Sold American” in 1973, a record that laid the foundation for his career.
Known as the “governor of the heart of Texas,” he even toured with Bob Dylan during the “Rolling Thunder Revue” and made history as the “first full-blooded Jew” to perform at the Grand Ole Opry.
Apart from his musical endeavors, Friedman was a prolific writer. He wrote detective novels and contributed as a columnist for Texas Monthly.
He also ventured into politics, running for Governor of Texas in 2006 with the campaign slogan “My Governor is a Jewish Cowboy,” securing 12.6 percent of the votes among six candidates.
Born in Chicago and raised in Texas, Friedman studied psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.
His passion for music led him to form King Arthur & the Carrots and later Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys. He described the latter as a “country band with a social conscience, a demented love child of Lenny Bruce and Bob Wills.”
Reflecting on his life, Friedman once wrote, “Somewhere in heaven, I’m sure there’s a quiet corner with a big easy chair, a bright floor lamp, a big stack of biographical books, and a few old dogs wagging their tails to the faint smell of cigar smoke.”
