The Harvard Crimson last week announced that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would receive the Radcliffe Medal on May 25 at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study....

Lizabeth Cohen, the dean of the Radcliffe Institute, noted the award to Clinton was being made “in recognition of her accomplishments in the public sphere as a champion for human rights, as a skilled legislator, and as an advocate for global American leadership.”...

Many readers, dazzled by the memory of Clinton’s recent presidential campaign, may be a bit shaky about her long history of private-sector accomplishment and public service. Here, without pretending to anything like completeness, are a few highlights....

Great find, thanks for posting, bump.

One among many points: // When it comes to Hillary Clinton as a “champion for human rights,” is there anything more telling than her activities through the Clinton Foundation in Haiti after the devastating 2010 earthquake in that unfortunate country? Hillary, then secretary of state, and Bill, heading up a Haiti reconstruction fund, funneled tens of millions of dollars to Haiti for “relief efforts.” But the money never went to the Haitians. It went instead to a wide network of Clinton relatives, friends, and cronies, often via the Clinton Foundation. The Haitians themselves initially regarded the Clintons as saviors. They soon learned otherwise and now routinely protest outside the offices of the Clinton Foundation. //

What evil people.

Not half as exciting as your life...but my aunt was buddies with Joe Valachi’s priest. At least Valachi wanted to get right with God when in prison. Hope same can be said of Clintons - especially the Prison part!

Sorry if it wasn't Penn that rescinded Trump's honorary degree - I forget what they did do to express their righteous indignation - make his bust sit in the corner facing the wall or something similar maybe - but I know Penn did take away Steve Wynn's degree (along with Bill Cosby's) a little while back over allegations of sexual misconduct - my question was the same - will they give back the what must be dirty money these guys donated over the years to confirm their moral outrage - I think the answer would be the same - No!!!......

Anyhow, Penn lost in the first round of March Madness this afternoon (although they did look good halfway through the first half) - God works in strange ways......

That's laying it on a little thick isn't it?

Kind of like giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize.

May 25? Hmmm....maybe I'll make my way over to Harvard Square with my “Clinton Crime Family Foundation” picket sign.

Awesome!
