Hillary Clinton took the occasion of her one-year campaign anniversary yesterday to look back on some of her campaign highlights. So did National Review. (Watch Video At Link)

No one but Bill Clinton could highlight with such clarity why it's so important for us to make sure that Democrats don't win the 2016 election. Jeb Bush could talk for 10 hours without ever chilling a conservative's blood the way Clinton did with less than a hundred words. Hitting the campaign trail on Monday, Clinton told a New Hampshire crowd why they needed to pull the lever for his wife. "We need to recognize something that has received almost no attention in this election, which is that the next president of the United States will make between one and...

It wasn't exactly wisdom from the mouths of babes. Then again, say critics, the remarks didn't originate in any babe's mind. Hillary Clinton is well known for staging events (as well as personalities), and "staged" is precisely what many are calling a question on the intersex pay gap the presidential candidate fielded last Tuesday at a New Hampshire town hall-style campaign stop (shown). The question came from nine-year-old Relic Reilly, twin brother of "River" and son of Massachusetts residents Michael and Bita Reilly (video below). Reports the Daily Mail: "My mother, over there, is complaining that she does not get...

Trend setters. You know who they are. These are the individuals who parade out in thrown together garb; then, next thing you know, everyone is wearing it. It happens with hairstyles too -- men and women. Anything that someone who is highly visible in the media, such as Holly Weird dimwits, begin to parade around in, with or on becomes a trend for emulation. Unfortunately, it works that way in politics as well. With Obama's ever increasing use of executive orders and fiats to change law or enact law to get what he wants, many called at each violation for...

For the first time in a long time, in her life spent in the public eye, Hillary Clinton looked like she was enjoying herself. The Democratic presidential candidate has had a fraught relationship with Iowa. After leading in the polls in her 2007 presidential race, she came third in the Iowa caucuses, trailing behind Barack Obama in what she saw as a personal defeat; a betrayal by the Hawkeye state. But on Friday night at the Democratic Wing Ding dinner - an annual event designed to energise state volunteers for the party – past grievances were set aside, as the...

It’s the subject that separates the men from the boys. Or, to put it more fairly in these politically correct days, the winners from the also-rans. Want to prove to the voters that you should have access to The Button? You’d better have a good grasp of the globe. You’d better be able to explain how the U.S. will interact with the world when you’re calling the shots. And as the heir-in-waiting for Obama’s Oval Office, Hillary Clinton owes America a glimpse at her stance on foreign policy. Instead, we hear mostly silence. In an era where the president makes...

Circulating throughout Conservative sites this week is information about Hillary being fired by her Watergate supervisor, US HOUSE Judiciary Watergate committee counsel Jerry Zeifman. A close analysis of this bold assertion puts the whole flap into real perspective. When asked in an interview why he terminated Hillary’s employment, Zeifman responded, “Because she was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer; she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the HOUSE, the rules of the committee and the rules on confidentiality.” A Rush Limbaugh transcript stays very close to this syntax. In an article written after a 2008 campaign...

I left off on the last article with how Hillary Rodham Clinton wants a revolutionary change and the building of a new society founded on Marxist principles. Hillary Rodham Clinton is an evil individual who has been taught that the United States has to change to a more Socialistic/Marxist way. She was against the Vietnam War and led protests against it, showing her disregard for the military and what they were doing to try and hold Communism at bay in Vietnam. That did not matter to Hillary at all; her ideas were more like Stalin and Hitler than any of...

For some, the 2016 presidential election is over: Hillary will win in a walk. Oddschecker.com website, which monitors 19 bookies, is unanimous: Hillary is heavily favored to win, with Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio coming in at very weak second and third places, respectively. Paddy Power, Ireland’s largest bookmaker, agrees. Spokesman Rory Scott told Business Insider that more than 5,000 bets have already been placed on the outcome reflected by Oddschecker: Hillary first, followed in the distance by Bush, Walker, and Rubio. Myra Adams, a Republican who served on George W. Bush’s reelection campaign’s creative team in 2004 and then...

Touting her unique life experience, Hillary Rodham Clinton (shown) launched her campaign for president on Sunday. Above all, she says, she is a grandmother who simply wants America’s grandchildren to have an opportunity to succeed: Becoming a grandmother has made me think deeply about the responsibility we all share as stewards of the world we inherit and will one day pass on. I’m more convinced than ever that our future in the 21st century depends on our ability to ensure that a child born in the hills of Appalachia or the Mississippi Delta or the Rio Grande Valley grows up...

Hillary Clinton comes off as confused, myopic and downright clueless in a number of email exchanges that have made headlines thanks to recent inquiries from a number of news outlets. In one exchange, brought to light after the AP released emails it obtained through a FOIA request, Clinton doesn’t know that she’s supposed to be talking with her adviser, Huma Abedin, about a Pakistani-Taliban over the remains of a crashed U.S. drone. Rather, Clinton believes she’s discussing interior furnishings. Here’s the relevant portion of that exchange. It’s of note that Clinton refutes her own post-scandal assertions that she only used...

Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) who is leading the investigation into the Benghazi fiasco confirmed to America today that Hillary Clinton is indeed a slimy and likely criminal malcontent. It seems that Mrs. Clinton no longer has any of the emails she sent or received during her time as Secretary of State, but don't worry, unlike the folks at the IRS, her computer didn't crash... No, Hillary lost her emails the good ol' fashioned way. She DELETED them. ALL OF THEM. And she did this AFTER the State Department asked her to return all of her work documents, emails and other...

During Hillary Clinton’s speech to reporters and analysts attending the Toner Prize journalism awards ceremony in Washington, DC, Mrs. Clinton employed variants of two classic Alinsky narrative manipulation tactics in targeting herself for ridicule over her use of a private email server and address during her time as Secretary of State. The use of her private server and email address allowed her to reverse the hierarchy of authority where the designation of government information is concerned. The use of the Alinsky tactics is meant to move the media on from this very damaging reality. The UK’s Daily Mail quotes Mrs....

Hillary Clinton reportedly will not be taking any questions at an event honoring excellence in journalism. Organizers of the March 23 Toner Prize Celebration, which is named after the late New York Times reporter Robin Toner, told the Center for Public Integrity the event would be open to reporters. However, the keynote speaker, Clinton, does not plan to take their inquiries. Business Insider reached out to Clinton's office to confirm the report. A Clinton spokesman referred the question back to the event's organizers. Clinton, the Democratic front-runner for president in 2016, is embroiled in a controversy surrounding her exclusive use...

The portrait of Bill Clinton that hangs at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington contains a curious shadow. The meaning of that shadow was explained to the press this week by the artist of the portrait, Nelson Shanks. He told reporters that he used a blue dress, a reference to Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky, as the object of the shadow. No president is a hero to his valet or portraitist, apparently. “The reality is [Clinton's] probably the most famous liar of all time. He and his administration did some very good things, of course, but I could never get...

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — The last time Bill Clinton and Barack Obama spent so many hours on the campaign trail, dashing across the country to appear before adoring crowds, they were on different sides of the Democratic argument. -snip “But I want to tell you something,” he continued, waiting for the crowd to listen. “It is my professional opinion that he has done a much better job than he has gotten credit for so far. And all elections are about the future, so what is the alternative?” -snip- “If you’re a Democrat, you need to hold your head up,” Mr....

(CNSNews.com) – At an event celebrating Gay Pride Month on Tuesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton encouraged State Department employees to let teenagers know homosexuality is okay. “We’ve come such a far distance in our own country, but there are still so many who need the outreach, need the mentoring, need the support to stand up and be who they are and then think about people in so many countries where it just seems impossible,” Clinton said. “So I think that each and everyone of you, not only professionally, particularly from State and USAID and every bureau and every embassy...

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton waves as she leaves Tokyo on February 18, 2009, during her first trip abroad in her new position. (Photo: State Department) (CNSNews.com) – From the time he entered the White House, President Obama frequently has spoken about having “inherited” an economic mess, and he has been criticized for it. But the expression arguably has been used even more often by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Nine months later, it is a theme she returns to regularly at home and abroad. During her most recent trip, a six-day visit to Western Europe and Russia earlier this...

Democrat Hillary Clinton on Thursday rejected John McCain's Republican convention address, and gave her first damning judgement on his vice-presidential running mate Sarah Palin. "To slightly amend my comments from Denver," the former first lady said in a statement as soon as the Republican nominee finished his speech. "No way, No How, No McCain-Palin," Clinton said, reprising her top applause line from last week's Democratic convention. Clinton said that only Barack Obama, who beat her in the bitter Democratic primary and his running mate Senator Joseph Biden, "offered the new ideas and positive change" that America needed.

WASHINGTON -- There always has been something delusional about the Clintons' project to make Hillary this country's next commander in chief. Start with the balderdash so frequently exuded through the media that she is, along with her husband, a "rock star." Well, they left the White House like rock stars. They trashed the place. Yet Hillary, a physically unprepossessing lady on the far side of middle age, is not a rock star. Agreed, when she and her bodyguards enter a room, she turns a lot of heads, but so does a roadside automobile accident or the clumsy waitress who just...
