Hillary Clinton bristled at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend when Czech Deputy Prime Minister Petr Macinka attempted to defend President Trump’s policies. Clinton raged that Trump has “betrayed the West” and is seeking “unaccountable power” by “modeling himself” after Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a panel discussion at the high-profile forum in Germany. Macinka, who also serves as foreign minister of the Czech Republic, gently mocked the failed 2016 presidential candidate’s anger towards Trump. **SNIP** Macinka went on to assess Trump’s second-term approach as an appropriate response to the far-left attitudes that gripped American policies and culture in...

There is a reason some modern political slogans feel impossible to challenge without sounding cruel, un-Christian, or “extreme.” It’s not because they are true. It’s because they are designed to stop you from thinking. That insight comes from James Lindsay, who recently explained a sloganeering concept most Evangelicals have never heard of but encounter every day: tifa. The word comes from Chinese Communist political strategy and refers to short, emotionally loaded slogans engineered to hijack moral instincts and shut down critical thought.

Hillary speaks, but she doesn’t listen. She half-absorbs events and the lives of other people, and coughs out a kind of instinctive Reader’s Digest annotated version, but mangles all the details as efficiently as bad AI. If Michael Kelly can rise from the grave, this will be the week. He’s been summoned. Kelly was the most relentlessly savage chronicler of the Clinton administration, and of the Clintons personally, but his opening shot was so subtle you had to squint to see what he was doing. In a long feature story that appeared in The New York Times Magazine in...

RIYADH: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman received former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at his office in Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh on Wednesday. A friendly conversation took place during the meeting, Saudi Press Agency reported.

At 77 years of age and no prospects for future political office, or even an ego-flattering ambassadorship, Hillary Clinton is consigned to doing the one thing she’s done consistently since she first entered public life – spouting off. This time she was on MSNBC’s Morning Joe program, and her target was “White men, of … a certain religion.” More to the point, she said, “The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was, dominated by, you know, let's say it, white men, of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain...

Hillary Clinton has one question for Melania Trump—as Donald Trump faces investigations and possible criminal charges: “How’s your summer going?” And for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who wants to take aim at marriage equality following the court’s demolition of Roe v. Wade: “Don’t you want to retire?” In a candid, barnstorming appearance on Andy Cohen’s Bravo chat show Watch What Happens Live alongside daughter Chelsea Clinton (who sits on the board of IAC, The Daily Beast’s parent company) to promote their new TV show, Gutsy, the former secretary of state held nothing back, in talking about the “captive...

Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton Fulfill your oath. Convict him. Disqualify him from using the power of elected office to incite deadly insurrection again.

A former adviser to President Bill Clinton speculated that Michael Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton are plotting a way for her to become the 2020 Democratic nominee even though she’s not in the race. “Here’s the deal that I think is going down. I think Hillary and Bloomberg have gotten together and cooked up a scheme,” Dick Morris told John Catsimatidis on The Cats Roundtable radio show on Sunday. He said Bloomberg would stay in the race, even if he has no chance of winning, in an effort to get at least enough support to keep Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders from...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused Sen. Bernie Sanders and his support network of being responsible for disunity within the Democratic Party. In a Friday podcast, Clinton called the behavior of Sanders supporters "distressing," assigning blame to them for the outcome of the 2016 election. . . . Clinton additionally categorized the first-in-the-nation caucuses in Iowa, where some polls show Sanders in the lead ahead of Monday's event, as being "undemocratic." She criticized how the caucuses limit voting to one evening, claiming it prevents Iowans with night shifts from voting.

Wednesday night on "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah," (tr) Hillary Clinton dismissed calls for her to retire from politics as "rank sexism." She also listed two other reasons why she won't be "going away" anytime soon. Noah asked Clinton, "Looking at the Democratic Party now, looking at Hillary Clinton, one thing far too many people say — and I have my own opinions on this — is why won't you just go away?" Fading from the limelight after a presidential loss, and allowing your party to find a new standard-bearer, is common practice. But Clinton seems uninterested. "You know,...
