The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) booted award-winning author Mercedes Lackey from a conference over her use of a "racial slur," even though the Black author to whom she had been referring later said he did not consider the term offensive. Lackey had allegedly referred to Samuel R.

WASHINGTON — As former President Trump’s second impeachment trial opened Tuesday, the White House press secretary made it clear in the briefing room — three times — that President Biden had nothing to say about it. “Joe Biden is the president. He’s not a pundit,” Jen Psaki told the 14 reporters seated before her. “He’s not going to opine on the back-and-forth arguments in the Senate, nor is he watching them.” Biden echoed that assertion moments later as he sat in the Oval Office to discuss his top priority, a $1.9-trillion coronavirus relief package, with a group of business leaders. A day later when Psaki appeared in the briefing room, reporters pressed her about Biden’s refusal to comment on the “historic” events occurring in the Senate. One, seemingly incredulous, asked just how the public “should interpret his silence?” “The American public,” Psaki said, “should read it as his commitment on delivering on exactly what they elected him to do, which is not to be a commentator … [Read more...] about ‘Not a pundit,’ Biden ignores impeachment trial to focus on his priorities

Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images The 20 th century was a really strange period in American politics. You had Southern right-wing white supremacists sharing the same party as civil-rights activists; you had one election cycle where both parties were fervently lobbying the same candidate (Dwight Eisenhower) to run as their party’s nominee. The comfortable ideological overlap between the two parties made it normal for many voters to swing back and forth between them for idiosyncratic reasons. The parties themselves barely held together: George Wallace led a bloc of conservative, white working-class defectors out of the Democratic Party in 1968; John Anderson did the same with liberal Republicans in 1980. Both those third-party movements prefigured permanent shifts that have since hardened into place, leaving two ideologically coherent parties fighting bitter trench warfare over a tiny, and steadily shrinking, no-man’s-land. Political professionals in both parties, from … [Read more...] about Politics in a Country Where Nobody Changes Their Mind

Bette Midler, star of Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2, wants to take away Americans’ constitutionally protected right to bear arms and is pushing for a total repeal of the Second Amendment. “What a fantastic idea!” the actress enthused in a tweet on Friday. WHAT A FANTASTIC IDEA! https://t.co/5zIXnmENlK — bettemidler (@BetteMidler) May 27, 2022 Midler was responding to a series of tweets not only calling for the nullification of the Second Amendment but also blaming Republicans for this week’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Democrats and anti-gun activists have long insisted that they don’t wish to deprive law-abiding Americans of their right to bear arms but only want to limit access to assault weapons. Midler’s declaration seems to confirm what many conservatives have long suspected — that Democrats are being disingenuous about their end goal and actually want a universal ban on the private ownership of firearms. The actress has been rage-tweeting at Republicans … [Read more...] about Disney Actress Bette Midler Pushes for Repeal of Second Amendment: ‘What a Fantastic Idea!’
