Full title: Woke confectioners Ben & Jerry's on a losing streak after anti-American July 4 post: Parent company loses $2B, Indian chief demands land under its HQ The woke ice cream company Ben & Jerry's scorned the United States on July 4, telling Americans their country "exists on stolen Indigenous land" and to return it. Patriots and prospective customers did not take too kindly to the confectioners' latest anti-American outburst, with some committing to giving the company the "Bud Light" treatment.

President Joe Biden announced Wednesday his plan to put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the migrant crisis on the southern border. ”I can think of nobody who is better qualified to do this,” Biden said after making the announcement at the White House.

He’s never heard of Prozac? Bill Clinton waves off his tawdry affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky in a new documentary — by saying it was something he did “to manage my anxiety.” The ex-president, in the upcoming Hulu series “Hillary” about his wife, likens working in the Oval Office to being a boxer “staggering” around after a 15-round prize fight that’s been extended to 30-rounds. “And here’s something that’ll take your mind off it for a while,” Clinton, 73, says of his two-year tryst with Lewinsky that began in 1995 when she was 22. “Everybody’s life has pressures...

Newly released video this week from the Clinton library shows footage of then-President Bill Clinton interacting with Monica Lewinsky during an Oval Office photo op in 1997 -- on a day that played a starring role in the Lewinsky scandal. The video shows Clinton delivering his weekly radio address on Feb. 28, 1997, and then greeting attendees in the Oval Office. Clinton is seen talking with Lewsinsky, who had worked as a White House intern, for several seconds, putting his arm around her and then posing for a photograph. Lewinsky is also seen watching Clinton record the address. Photos from...

Bill Clinton was once caught trying to sneak out of the White House - apparently to visit a mistress - by hiding under a raincoat in the back of his personal lawyer's car. The former president was stopped by a Secret Service officer at the gate who inspected lawyer Bruce Lindsey's vehicle and was shocked to see Clinton inside. Lindsey pleaded to be allowed to pass but the uniformed officer held firm and radioed for backup. The officer said: 'You better get me some help here. 'I just caught Bruce Lindsey trying to drive out with the President with a...

If you watched Saturday night’s debate, well, we pity you. Fortunately, the audience was small, so the damage done to America’s collective intellect and sanity was relatively contained. Let’s face it; if you’re thinking about voting for Hillary or Bernie Sanders, you’ve already drawn the short straw in that regard. So, no harm no foul. Still, if you tuned in, you bore witness to a slew of “senior moments.” Yes, Hillary wandered away from the stage at one point, but that wasn’t the worst of it. The nadir of her performance occurred when she said the following:

Former President Bill Clinton joined his wife Hillary in a surprise appearance after the third Democratic debate at a watch party, in Manchester, New Hampshire, Saturday night. Clinton stood side by side with her husband, saying the former president will be out on the campaign trail in January. “I think this is fair to say that starting in January, I will have my not so secret weapon," she said. "We’re going to cover as much ground as we possibly can.” It was the first time the former president made a public appearance immediately following one of the debates.

In an email sent to supporters of the progressive political group MoveOn.org, ice cream icons Jerry Greenfield and Ben Cohen asked recipients to join them in supporting the Iran deal to keep “America out of another war in the Middle East.” Lobbyists and billionaires plan to spend over $40 million to stop the diplomatic deal with Iran—the one the Obama Administration negotiated to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. That’s dangerous, because if too many Democrats listen to the flood of hawkish, misinformation-ridden TV ads—and if they vote with Republicans—they could override the president’s agreement in just about a month.

Former presidential wonders never cease. George W. Bush was at the Miami International Book Fair touting his memoir over the weekend. Now we hear Bill Clinton is going to be a movie star. Yep, the nation's 42nd president is going to be in The Hangover 2, reports People. It's just a cameo a la Mel Gibson, who was recently fired due to, well, you know. Word is cast members wanted no part of Mad Mel on the set. But Clinton should behave just fine -- just keep him away from the pretty interns. According to the mag, the former chief...

Former President Bill Clinton warned Friday that the anger some members of the Tea Party movement express about higher taxes and the size of government could feed the same right-wing extremism that led to the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, which killed 168 people and injured hundreds more. "Before the bombing occurred, there was a sort of fever in America," Clinton said at a symposium commemorating the 15th anniversary of the bombing. "Meanwhile, the fabric of American life had been unraveling. More and more people who had a hard time figuring out where they fit in, it is true that...

Bill Clinton will speak on the third day of the Democratic National Convention, FOX News has confirmed. The former president has been scheduled to address the convention on Wednesday, Aug. 27, before the speech by the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee, according to a senior Democratic source familiar with the situation. The news comes on the heals of statements by Hillary Clinton that she might ask for her name be offered for a roll call vote at the convention — a formality, since she already has withdrawn from the Democratic race and thrown her support behind Barack Obama, the presumptive nominee....

Valentine's Day came early this year in Camp Clinton. Love is the reason Bill Clinton has gone wild on the trail, turning his red-faced rage at Barack Obama's presidential campaign and reporters on a serial basis, he explained Thursday. It was his answer to a female voter in South Carolina who urged him to "stop taking the bait from Obama." "When I was running, I didn't give a rip what anybody said about me," he said. "It's weird, you know, but if you love somebody and you think that they'd be good, it's harder." He blasted Obama recently as a...

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Former President Bill Clinton said Friday sanctions against Iran were working better than people think and questioned whether a military strike would work to end its nuclear program. He argued that two-thirds of Iran's population wants a moderate government and that sanctions could have some influence on the nation's powerful clerics. "We may not have to go to war, and we may not have a disaster," he told about 9,000 gathered at Kansas State University. "You need to talk to everybody before you bomb them. In other words, if you're going to fight with somebody _ I...

Former President Bill Clinton toured a rebuilt school and new homes Friday in a southern Indian coastal village that was devastated by the deadly tsunami in 2004, and he declared the hamlet a model of reconstruction. "This area is the first in all of the tsunami-hit region where everyone who's lost their home has had it replaced," Clinton said. Hundreds of people lined the streets to greet Clinton, the top U.N. envoy for the tsunami recovery effort. He accepted drawings and wooden dolls from the children before watching an impromptu puppet show in the hamlet. The mammoth wave destroyed 130...

Clinton Cuddle ISRAELI media mogul Haim Saban, who recently revealed he'll back Hillary Clinton for a 2008 presidential run, dished on the senator's relationship with husband Bill Clinton during a celebration in Tel Aviv. He told The Post's Uri Dan the Clintons were recently at the Saban home for a private film screening and played footsie in the dark the entire time: "They sat with her leg on his leg and they held hands." The affectionate display was enough to convince the media tycoon of true love. "It was not a show," Saban said.

Former President Clinton bemoaned ideologues who describe opponents as "running for office on his or her way to hell" and urged Democrats not to shy from fighting back. Clinton, criticizing Republicans weeks before the midterm elections, told an audience at Georgetown University on Wednesday that intellectual debate should trump partisan rancor and either-or choices are false. "Most of us long for politics where we have genuine arguments, vigorous disagreements but we don't claim to have the whole truth and we don't demonize our opponents and we work for what's best for the American people," he said. Clinton, whose wife Sen....

The woman leaned toward the former president conspiratorially. "Now get your wife to run," she said. "I'll try," Bill Clinton responded. As he moved through the crowd at the farm outside Cazenovia, a reporter asked if those listening had heard him correctly: Was he pushing for his wife to run for president? "No, you didn't. No, you didn't," he insisted. "I'm very careful. I know what I'm supposed to say about that." The former president says a lot about his wife running for president, even as New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton remains mum on the question and cruises toward...

For about five years in the 1990s, the cigar industry luxuriated in a wild sales boom when celebrities and trendy 20-somethings decided that puffing imported, hand-rolled stogies was The Next Big Thing. The bubble burst when the supply of quality tobacco couldn't keep up with demand. The market became flooded with inferior but pricey cigars hastily rolled with lower grade tobacco, as many of the poseurs and neophytes moved on to something else. In the years since, the industry has enjoyed a quiet, steady climb. The bad product is mostly gone, the market settled and refined tobacco growing methods make...
