    Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Julia Sweeney revealed Wednesday that Hillary Clinton once sent a letter to the producer of the show expressing disapproval over the portrayal of her teenage daughter, Chelsea. Sweeney, 63, made the startling revelation on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast after co-host David Spade, 59, recalled the 1993 skit where the actress portrayed the former First Daughter and how it “rubbed somebody wrong.” “Yeah, Hillary,” responded Sweeney, adding that the former presidential candidate complained about the skit. The contents of Clinton’s letter were not shared on the podcast. Julia Sweeney played a teenage Chelsea...

    Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in and around Albuquerque will spur a legal fight... ... Indeed, the first challenge surfaced Saturday afternoon in a federal lawsuit filed by Albuquerque resident Foster Allen Haines in conjunction with the National Association for Gun Rights, or NAGR, claiming that Lujan Grisham's order is unconstitutional and seeking damages. "Nothing else to say really, just that the NAGR and Mr. Haines represent thousands of New Mexicans that are not going to put up with tyranny," Timothy White, the attorney who filed the case, told the Journal....

    The Guardian ^ | Sep 9 | Guardian staff and agencies
    New Mexico state representatives Stefani Lord and John Block are calling for the impeachment of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham after Grisham issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in and around Albuquerque, the state’s largest city. The governor on Friday issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days amid a spate of gun violence. “This is an abhorrent attempt at imposing a radical, progressive agenda on an unwilling populace. Rather than addressing crime at its core, Governor Grisham is restricting...

    Arca Max (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution) ^ | September 9, 2023 | Greg Bluestein
    Donald Trump has an enormous lead over his rivals in every poll of GOP voters in Georgia. He has soaked up attention and fundraising dollars. And some Republicans say the sweeping charges leveled against the former president have only reinforced their support for him. Yet, in a clear sign of deep squeamishness over Trump, most of the state’s top Republican elected officials have yet to back his comeback bid or — in rare cases — are siding with other GOP hopefuls they see as more formidable challengers to President Joe Biden. The skepticism over Trump extends far beyond Gov. Brian...
  • Kamala Harris Mocked for ‘Granny Moves’ at White House Hip-Hop Party: ‘Pure Cringe’

    Kamala Harris was ridiculed online Saturday for busting out her “granny moves” during a White House party she hosted celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. Critics pounced on the vice president for revolving through a series of tired, bare-minimum shuffles at the outdoor fete. “Kamala Harris with the granny moves at her 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop party,” political commentator Anthony Brian Logan said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Pure cringe,” another user wrote, as another called it the “Cackle Shuffle” in an apparent reference to the vice president’s laugh.

    As it stands now Emmanuel Macron cannot run for a third term as France's President in 2027. After running as a finalist in the last two Presidential elections, Marine Le Pen seems poised for a win. No political polls have been taken in France since earlier this year when Le Pen was defeating the incumbent Macron in a face-to-face matchup. This week a new public opinion poll focused on the "favorability" of politicians and... The unpopularity of President Emmanuel Macron confirmed last night at the Stade de France...

    Seventy years ago, a farmer beheaded a chicken in Colorado, and it refused to die. Mike, as the bird became known, survived for 18 months and became famous. But how did he live without a head for so long, asks Chris Stokel-Walker. On 10 September 1945 Lloyd Olsen and his wife Clara were killing chickens, on their farm in Fruita, Colorado. Olsen would decapitate the birds, his wife would clean them up. But one of the 40 or 50 animals that went under Olsen's hatchet that day didn't behave like the rest.
