“Full Frontal” host Samantha Bee blasted the newly released pro-life film “UNPLANNED,” which made an impressive debut last weekend. Bee began her show Wed night by calling “Unplanned” an “anti-choice propaganda movie.” “It’s obviously ridiculous & no one should see it. Bee also called the pro-life film “mostly made-up.”

She said she had been subjected to countless rape and death threats, as well as profanities on social media such as “b***h” and “c**t”. “The more successful a man becomes the more people like him,” Ms Clinton told the audience at Sydney’s International Convention Centre. “With women it’s the opposite. “Calling a woman incompetent or disagreeing might not be pleasant but it’s fair game ...

<p>Why did Hillary’s State Department urge U.S. investors to fund Russian research for military uses?</p> <p>Hillary Clinton touts her tenure as secretary of state as a time of hardheaded realism and “commercial diplomacy” that advanced American national and commercial interests. But her handling of a major technology transfer initiative at the heart of Washington’s effort to “reset” relations with Russia raises serious questions about her record.
