I apologize for continuing to rail against Hillary Clinton but she continues to irritate like a boil that’s been festering for a quarter of a century. “I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life.” – Hillary Clinton, 1992 In saner times that comment alone would have served to thwart the unbridled ambition of such a smug, bitchy woman. But in the age that delivered the Magic Negro to the White House this sort of...

A State Department security contractor says that it was asked to provide security at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi after a rival company failed to do the job, just 12 days before the terror attack of Sep. 11, 2012, which claimed the lives of four Americans. Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions, a large, Virginia-based security and private military contracting firm, told Breitbart News that the State Department approached the company less than two weeks before Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were brutally murdered. Blue Mountain Group, the small Welsh security contractor to which the State Department initially awarded the...

EXCLUSIVE: Security at the State Department's Benghazi compound was so dire that another contractor was brought in to clean up the mess just two weeks before the 2012 terror attack – and was later pressured to keep quiet by a government bureaucrat under then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to two men from the American security company.    Brad Owens and Jerry Torres, of Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions, say they faced pressure to stay silent and get on the same page with the State Department with regard to the security lapses that led to the deaths of four Americans. They spoke...

Hillary Clinton's new book What Happened, a recap of the 2016 presidential campaign, is out this week. Naturally a whine filled, woa is me promotional tour from the failed candidate is well underway. Matt has been documenting the ongoing situation. During an interview with USA Today's Susan Page, Clinton insisted the Russians fully colluded with the Trump campaign to beat her and laughably argued she believes in the "rule of law" and "evidence." "I happen to believe in the rule of law and believe in evidence, so I'm not going to go off and make all kinds of outrageous claims. But if...

U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper prevented prosecutors from showing evidence to jurors that proves Khattala communicated to an ally about murdering the other U.S....

This Monday marks the fifth anniversary of the Benghazi attack and, as Hillary Clinton would say, "What difference at this point does it make?" Which is why, presumably, she's chosen the occasion for the release of her latest leaden tome. But it makes enough of a difference to us that we'll be observing the date at SteynOnline. So I thought we'd start, for our Saturday movie date, with the major motion picture based on the events of that hellish night: Michael (Transformers) Bay has now made two feature films about real-life military attacks on US sovereign territory - in 2001...

Hillary Clinton calling new book 'What Happened' Updated: July 27, 2017 — 9:13 AM EDT NEW YORK (AP) - Hillary Clinton is calling her new book "What Happened" and promising unprecedented candor as she remembers her stunning defeat last year to Donald Trump. "In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I've often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net," Clinton writes in the introduction, according to publisher Simon & Schuster. "Now I'm letting my guard down." Simon & Schuster told The Associated Press on Thursday that Clinton's...

Some of my critics point to the congressional investigations of Hillary, saying that she was absolved of any wrong doing, but at least in my opinion, the congressional hearings stopped far short of placing the blame for the murder of four Americans, including a United States Ambassador who had all but fallen on his knees to beg for additional security. To my knowledge, the subpoena list did not include any of the survivors of the attack, any military personnel familiar with the area and the military assets close enough to send help, and there were several. If you doubt, check...
