Women’s magazines are an area that the conservative movement often overlooks. They’ve become political. And for many young, college-educated women in urban areas it’s their source of news. And yes, it’s entirely liberal.(snip) Now, I don’t read Teen Vogue of course, but The Wall Street Journal’s Jillian Kay Mechior gave a rundown and asked what the hell happened here: Hillary Clinton expanded her already impressive résumé by guest-editing the issue that hit newsstands Dec. 5. It was a theme issue, with 36 pages devoted to a single subject: Hillary Clinton. That’s more than the 31 pages of ads in the...

What's the difference between Game of Thrones character Cersei Lannister and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton? One is an entitled narcissist who quietly supported her lecherous husband (whom she clearly loathed) when it was politically convenient, then insisted it was her turn to rule (even though it wasn't), chose boot-lickers, ass-kissers, and elitist bankers as her advisors while alienating more competent and better-liked people who might have helped her, exacted petty vengeance on imagined enemies, escaped justice and the judgment of the people by destroying her main rival—the charismatic, income-inequality obsessed populist—with an explosive cheat, and was left confused why...

The funniest episode in the protective yet revealing new Hillary Clinton profile arrives when we learn that this sad, unemployed, 69-year-old lady is so desperate to keep her self-image alive that she still employs flunkies and retainers to treat her as though she actually were the president, or the secretary of state, or a president in waiting, or at very least the leader of the opposition. Her longtime loyalists are so happy to bustle around her in the service of maintaining the illusion that, after she takes an hour away from it all to exercise, her communications director, Nick Merrill,...

Full Title...................'I beat both of them': Hillary Clinton defiantly claims she DEFEATED Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders during the election in interview at her home (not the White House).............................. The 69-year-old made the remark during a new interview about her election loss Clinton received almost 3 million more votes than Donald Trump in the election But the Democrat was defeated by Trump 304 to 227 in electoral college count Clinton also spoke about negative impact sexism had on her chances of winning

The surreal post-election life of the woman who would have been president. When I walk into the Chappaqua dining room in which Hillary Clinton is spending her days working on her new book, I am greeted by a vision from the past. Wearing no makeup and giant Coke-bottle glasses, dressed in a gray mock-turtleneck and black zip sweatshirt, Hillary looks less Clinton and more Rodham than I have ever seen her outside of college photographs. It's the glasses, probably, that work to make her face look rounder, or maybe just the bareness of her skin. She looks not like...

Forty-eight years after she gave her first commencement address at Wellesley College, Hillary Clinton returns on Friday to offer another - and once again, she's at a crossroads in her life. The first time, she was 21 years old and eager to take on life's adventures, a graduating senior whose bold speech delighted her classmates, dismayed the school's president, and made it into Life magazine. The Hillary who will speak this year on Severance Green Lawn is the battle-scarred politician who came agonizingly close to becoming the first female president of the United States. Half a year after her stunning...

A surprising admission from a former top aide revealed Hillary Clinton's reaction to the result of the 2016 presidential election. Jennifer Palmieri was the communications director for Clinton's 2016 campaign, and she recently said her former boss was the least surprised member of the campaign that President Donald Trump came out on top.

In a fit of pique, Hillary grabbed a handful of her hair and in an odd mannerism, which her women friends had seen before, she yanked at the hair so hard it looked as though she was trying to pull it out. 'Hillary don't!' one of the women said. Huma, who was sitting across the room, started to giggle. She caught Hillary's eye, and Hillary stopped pulling on her hair. 'Huma's seen this hair-pulling routine a hundred times, and she knows the best way to handle it is to make light of it,' her friend recalled. Hillary got up and...

New York Times bestselling author Ed Klein has just published his fourth book about the Clintons since 2005, Guilty as Sin. Klein had told how Bill Clinton enjoyed foot rubs, massages and romps in his presidential library with female interns and has described new details about Hillary's medical crises. In this exclusive excerpt he explains Hillary's relationship with top aide Huma Abedin. Guilty as Sin is available in bookstores and for order from Amazon.

Hillary Clinton’s breakout moment at Wellesley College By Frances Stead Sellers and Marilyn W. Thompson Hillary Clinton’s moment of glory at Wellesley College came when she mounted the stage at her commencement ceremony and took on a powerful Republican U.S. senator, culminating four years of what her campaign now describes as “social-justice activism” on the burning issues of the time. But the story not yet told is how out of character Clinton’s inflammatory Wellesley speech was. At a time when the country was questioning the system, Clinton was known for working squarely within it. She was a conciliator, not a...

The Bolshevik/Menshevik crisis we saw in the first stages of the Russian Revolution is bubbling to the surface in our country through the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party today reflects an updated version of the Bolshevik/Menshevik split of the early 20th century. In 1903, the Russian Social-Democratic Labor Party (communist) split into two opposing groups, the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks. Vladimir Lenin, leader of the pro-dictatorial Bolsheviks, defined the difference between the two groups, as one being "hard" (Bolsheviks) and the other being "soft," led by Leon Trotsky, Georgi Plekhanov, Julius Martov, and others. Both were for the overthrow of...

Patrick Healy of the NYT pens an 1,800-word slobber job on Hillary Clinton: in her first 100 days, she’ll appoint a historically diverse Cabinet, work with Republicans on “broadly popular issues,” and — psst! — probably decline to replace Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who just happened to speak privately with her husband Bill last week.

Hillary Clinton's weekend interview with the FBI stands as a perfect symbol of what is probably her biggest liability heading into the fall election: A lot of people say they don't trust her. [Snip] "Trust is the glue that holds our democracy together," Clinton said last week as part of a direct effort to address the issue in this small lull between the end of primary voting and the start of full-on campaigning for the fall vote. "I take this seriously, as someone who is asking for your votes, and I personally know I have work to do on this...

Should she win the presidency, Hillary Clinton would quickly try to find common ground with Republicans on an immigration overhaul and infrastructure spending, risking the wrath of liberals who would like nothing more than to twist the knife in a wounded opposition party. In her first 100 days, she would also tap women to make up half of her cabinet in hopes of bringing a new tone and collaborative sensibility to Washington, while also looking past Wall Street to places like Silicon Valley for talent — perhaps wooing Sheryl Sandberg from Facebook, and maybe asking Tim Cook from Apple to...

Hillary Clinton "really" loves to talk over drinks, according to a longtime confidante. Negotiating "over adult beverages" would be a feature over what the New York Times portrays as a Clinton presidential style that would resemble that of Ronald Reagan of Lyndon Johnson, both legendary schmoozers. "Her greatest strength is that she really listens to people, she understands what their political and policy needs are, and she tries to find that space where you can compromise," said Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress and a former adviser to both Bill and Hillary Clinton.

"Why do people hate Hillary Clinton so much?" a reporter from the Canadian Broadcasting Company asked me this week. I responded that the pitiless rancor of American politics today is out of all proportion to our real challenges -- but it's worth recalling how Hillary Clinton earned her miserable reputation. It was the flagrant and prodigious lies. She has arguably abused power, enriched herself and her family with blatant influence selling and betrayed an arrogant disregard for the normal rules. In the past few weeks, since she defeated Bernie Sanders, Clinton has been impersonating a centrist. Her foreign policy speech...

Clinton voters overlook money lust, shadowy surrogates, sociopathic policy shifts, horrific overseas record. Why? As a lifelong Democrat who will be enthusiastically voting for Bernie Sanders in next week’s Pennsylvania primary, I have trouble understanding the fuzzy rosy filter through which Hillary fans see their champion. So much must be overlooked or discounted—from Hillary’s compulsive money-lust and her brazen indifference to normal rules to her conspiratorial use of shadowy surrogates and her sociopathic shape-shifting in policy positions for momentary expedience. Hillary’s breathtaking lack of concrete achievements or even minimal initiatives over her long public career doesn’t faze her admirers a...

Full Title... "Hillary’s world collapsing around her: Wisconsin, Bernie’s surge and FBI probe poised to derail her White House bid" Wisconsin represents more than just Bernie’s sixth straight win, or the likelihood of seven straight wins after Wyoming, right before New York. This political revolution, ignited by Bernie Sanders and fought for by people of all races, faiths, and ethnic backgrounds across the U.S. has been bolstered by political momentum. It’s not current delegate count or prior poll numbers, it’s unprecedented political momentum that will win Sanders the Democratic nomination. It’s the fact Bernie Sanders isn’t going to be interviewed...

Hillary Clinton lost her temper the other day. She said she was “sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me.” It’s hard to believe that this is what she’s sick of — since Sanders is, without question, the gentlest opposition candidate any front-runner has faced in the history of American politics. The truth is likely this: She’s sick, all right — sick of having to run against Sanders. Look, she had it in the bag, guys, she had it in the bag. Before she declared her candidacy she made like Don Corleone of “The Godfather” and put all the politicians...

Hillary Clinton loves black people. And black people love Hillary—or so it seems. Black politicians have lined up in droves to endorse her, eager to prove their loyalty to the Clintons in the hopes that their faithfulness will be remembered and rewarded. Black pastors are opening their church doors, and the Clintons are making themselves comfortably at home once again, engaging effortlessly in all the usual rituals associated with “courting the black vote,” a pursuit that typically begins and ends with Democratic politicians making black people feel liked and taken seriously. Doing something concrete to improve the conditions under which...
