Summary
The White House Correspondents’ Association canceled comedian Amber Ruffin’s headlining appearance at its annual fundraising dinner.
The decision follows concerns over Ruffin’s anti-Trump comments and growing tensions with the Trump White House, which has restricted press access and pool assignments.
The association’s board voted unanimously for the change, seeking to avoid political division.
This shift mirrors its 2019 approach, when historian Ron Chernow spoke instead of a comedian amid similar Trump-era scrutiny.
At the start of the second world war, Germany was much less mechanized than other countries. I think the US had one car for every five people, the UK one car for every 10 people, France won car for every 15 people, and Germany one car for every 30 people. Something like that.
The Germans used more horses in World War II than they did in World War I.
The thing was, what they did have they used effectively, including using radios for communications, which none of the other countries were doing at the time.
