More Good News, So Much Good News

Popular feminist author Roxane Gay has pulled her upcoming book from Simon & Schuster as a result of the publisher's deal with Milo Yiannopoulos.

Gay was slated to release "How to be Heard" with a Simon & Schuster imprint, TED Books, in March. But over the weekend, she decided to back out of the deal. Her literary agent Maria Massie cut ties with the publisher on Tuesday, a contact at Massie's literary agency confirmed to CNNTech.

Gay's decision was sparked by Simon & Schuster's decision to buy the rights to Yiannopoulos' upcoming book "Dangerous," which it plans to publish under its conservative imprint Threshold Editions in March.

When news of Yiannopoulos' book deal first broke in December, it quickly sparked a backlash and put CBS-owned Simon & Schuster in the hot seat. On Monday, Simon & Schuster CEO Carolyn Reidy reportedly sent an email to its authors promising it would not publish hate speech.

Yiannopoulos, tech editor at the conservative website Breitbart, is known for that. He's said trans people suffer from a mental illness, professed that feminism is cancer, and called Black Lives Matter the "last socially acceptable hate group in America."
Her book, "How To Be Heard", must be a set of plans for making your own hot-pink vagina costume. They're all the rage with poor, abused feminazis, trying to look intellectual for the cameras. Unfortunately for M. Gay, Milo's book will sell trainloads more books than another bad-vibes feminist can sell.

She has already spoiled the contents of the book! "How To Be Heard", indeed. If we observe the actual practices of this Roxane Gay, it would seem the best way to be heard... is to tell everyone else to shut up!

The "only real social conservative party" was epitomized by it's dash to receive the approval of the Left, and to not be seen as "homophobes" and "misogynists" etc. etc. The entirely proper descriptive term for them is "cuckservatives", those who were completely unable to stop the rape of morality and the US Constitution.

Pence is one of them. Trump is not.

"Gov. Pence signs revised Indiana religious freedom bill into law"; https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/04/02/gov-pence-signs-revised-indiana-religious-freedom-bill-into-law/?utm_term=.1e249ff4ce9b

Trump is completely unaffected by trying to mollify and satisfy the Left. He has that brutish bull quality which is necessary to step into the middle of the raging Leftist fury and take it down forcibly, which is the only possible way. By forcibly, I mean with totally unbending, unyielding determination, which is a unique and rare quality that rarely meets with public comprehension. We need Trump precisely because there is no one else like him that could turn the Left on its heels.

The Left is in disarray, capable only of rash, virulent, incoherent attacks (Women's rights - they already have all those rights and they know it, so they wear vagina costumes and demean themselves in full view of America in the process of a useless attack: Trump wins again).

Half the nation has similarly demeaned itself by voting for the criminally-flawed, mysteriously rich, overtly hateful and hate mongering Clinton, whose abominable character and history is not even questioned by our foes in the Left. So the morality of Trump shines brightly in comparison.

At this point Trump has demonstrated more faithful production of his promises in just one week, than any president in my lifetime.

You should be more concerned about the moral base of the Republicans in Congress, in my opinion.

But Trump has NO MORALITY!! He is lying, cheating, and doing everything in his power to become an autocrat that makes himself and his billionaire friends rich! History tells us that to preserve our freedom, our liberties, we need to compromise and deal with our differences. I am strongly against gay marriage for instance, in the religious sense, but I couldn't care less what the civil law says. Trump is against any and all of such good values. That's why ALL, EVERY ONE, of the newspaper, experiences politicians, on the Left and on the Right, were behind Clinton. She was far from a good choice but she wouldn't be as horrible as Trump and his fake support of family values. I cannot wait for his impeachment followed by Pence. That bill is a great example! What's wrong with it!? He is fighting for our religious freedom. Trump doesn't care about freedom, he wants the Rule of Law, which means HIS law, HIS opinion, to rule. He is a facist autocrat

Last night, the acting Attorney General of the United States refused to defend President Trump’s unlawful and unconstitutional Muslim ban, so Donald Trump fired her. Let me repeat: the President of the United States just fired the nation’s top law enforcement officer for refusing to defend an illegal, unconstitutional and deeply immoral order.
Now, the President expects the Senate to replace her with Senator Jeff Sessions – a man whose career has been defined by open hostility to civil rights, immigrants, and the rule of law. Sessions is so dangerous that a Republican-controlled Senate rejected his nomination to a federal judgeship 30 years ago.

You call that faithful production of his promises?

”But Trump has NO MORALITY!! He is lying, cheating, and doing everything in his power to become an autocrat that makes himself and his billionaire friends rich!”

That is an accusation without content. What lies/cheating do you wish to discuss? What autocratic moves do you see as immoral?

”History tells us that to preserve our freedom, our liberties, we need to compromise and deal with our differences.”

Actually history tells us to protect the republic, if we intend to keep it. Compromise is what allowed Hitler the spare time to arm Germany for conquest. Compromise is the First Principle of the Hegelian march into Leftist control of everything.

” I am strongly against gay marriage for instance, in the religious sense, but I couldn't care less what the civil law says. Trump is against any and all of such good values.”

You don’t care about civil law?

”That's why ALL, EVERY ONE, of the newspaper, experiences politicians, on the Left and on the Right, were behind Clinton. She was far from a good choice but she wouldn't be as horrible as Trump and his fake support of family values.”

You mean the Clinton who destroyed the rape victims of her husband, and defended and probably participated in the child molestations of her husband? That Clinton? The newspapers and politicians that ignored her killing be default of an American ambassador in Bengazi, Libya? The Libya that SHE turned into smoking wreckage and engendered Boko Haram, which enslaves girls for sex slavery? THAT Clinton?

I cannot wait for his impeachment followed by Pence. That bill is a great example! What's wrong with it!? He is fighting for our religious freedom.

I now see that you don’t know what you are talking about. Anarchy is not religious freedom.

Trump doesn't care about freedom, he wants the Rule of Law, which means HIS law, HIS opinion, to rule. He is a facist autocrat

You might read up on what fascism consists of. It appears you repeat Leftist slogans without understanding the actual meaning of the terminology.

You copied that word for word out of Boston.com. Pure plagiarism. Now talk about legal and moral without your own lies.

Come up with something original, and not out of the lying Leftist mouth of fauxahontas Warren.
