This week, former President Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of trying to conceal "hush money" payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels after the 2016 election. Normally, the statute of limitations would have prevented the case from being brought, but New York state law was modified to allow this prosecution of Trump. Considering that Daniels accepted payment for agreeing to a perfectly legal Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) yet still went on to make defamatory charges against Trump it seems clear that nothing was "hushed up." Eight years ago the Federal Elections Commission decided that since the payments were made after...

A smug Hillary Clinton touted new merch with the slogan “Turns out she was right about everything” — just hours after former rival Donald Trump became the first ex-president ever to be convicted of felony criminal charges. The former secretary of state took to Instagram Thursday to promote a $22 mug — complete with a painted image of herself sipping tea — in the wake of a Manhattan jury finding Trump, 77, guilty at his historic hush money trial. “We recently had some new merch made based on a phrase I hear a lot. The design happened to be finalized...

CNN — President Joe Biden on Friday said that Donald Trump’s conviction in the hush money trial reaffirmed “the American principle that no one is above the law.”Speaking from the White House, Biden said the jury consisted of regular Americans who heard evidence and returned a unanimous verdict.“Donald Trump was given every opportunity to defend himself,” Biden said. “A state case, not a federal case, was heard by a jury of 12 citizens. Twelve Americans. Twelve people like you, like millions of Americans who served on juries.” He said Trump’s jury was “chosen the same way every jury in America,”...

There has arisen in America a generation which never heard of a lowly enlisted combat medic in the US Army who defied Bill Clinton and his entire chain of command, refusing to serve on a United Nations deployment wearing a blue helmet under the command of a general officer from a foreign country. It happened this day, 1995. Ask people over 50 years old, or better yet, 60. MANY of them remember the story - it was front page and nationwide, indeed worldwide news. No good deed unpunished, however, and Army SPC4 Michael New was court-martialed, received a kangaroo trial,...

After letters to my senators and an American Thinker article, Why is the FDA Contaminating America’s Blood Supply? it is the United Kingdom that finally comes clean: Britain’s ‘day of shame’ as full scale of infected blood scandal revealed‘The result of this inquiry should shake our nation to its core. This should have been avoided. It was known these treatments were contaminated; warnings were ignored repeatedly. ‘Time and again people in positions of power and trust had the chance to stop the transmission of those infections. Time and again they failed to do so.’ Patients “died or suffered miserably” as...

During the 2016 cycle, Hillary Clinton boasted about how Republicans were probably the enemy she was most proud of making. But now she’s sounding almost envious. While riffing about Democratic failures to defend Roe v. Wade, Clinton, 76, griped that her party sometimes lacks the relentless resolve the right has. “One thing I give the right credit for is they never give up,” she told the New York Times in a recent interview. “They are relentless. You know, they take a loss, they get back up, they regroup, they raise more money.”

Hillary Clinton blamed the fact that female voters abandoned her as her 2016 presidential campaign came to a close on her not being “perfect” in a recent interview. “They left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me because, as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect,” the former secretary of state told the New York Times in an interview conducted in February and published Saturday. Hillary Clinton blamed the fact that female voters abandoned her as her 2016 presidential campaign came to a close on her not being “perfect” in a recent interview. “They left me because...

Agents took many photos inside Melania Trump's room at Mar-a-Lago... FBI authorized agents who were involved in that infamous raid on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home to use "deadly force" as needed have triggered a resurgence of reports about just what the bureau was seeking there ... Joe Biden had classified documents from his days as senator and vice president, and there was no raid. And Mike Pence had documents from his vice presidency and there was no raid. Perhaps the target was a binder including documents from the government's Crossfire Hurricane .. sponsored by .. Hillary Clinton ... that "missing...

Claim: Hollywood star Bette Midler is pushing the left’s claim that Hillary Clinton has never questioned election results. In an X post on Sunday, the actress wrote: “Can you imagine what would have happened if Hillary Clinton had claimed the election was stolen?” Verdict: Misleading if not completely false. Bette Midler worded her post as a question — a seemingly crafty gambit to stymie fact checkers. But her intention is unambiguous: she wants people to believe Hillary Clinton has ever cast doubt on the outcome of an election. Can you imagine what would have happened if Hillary Clinton had claimed...

TEL AVIV (VINnews) — Former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recorded a message that was played at a massive rally in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square on Motzaei Shabbos. Clinton said, “To all who are gathered, let me first express my deepest sympathy for the losses that have been suffered, and for those families who are still separated from their loved ones.” “I know, having met family members of hostages, how deep the pain is, and I know that you will never stop advocating for the release of your loved ones, your family members, your friends, everyone who...

Jeremy Hunt will approve final compensation for the victims of the contaminated blood scandal this week after a Sunday Times campaign for justice was backed across the political divide. The chancellor is preparing to unveil a package worth at least £10 billion ($12 billion) for those affected by the deadliest man-made disaster in postwar Britain. Tens of thousands of people were treated with disease-ridden blood products from the United States in the 1970s and 80s. The prime minister is expected to make an official apology on Monday, acknowledging the failings of the state and the suffering caused, following the publication...

"The View" co-hosts admitted on Monday that they were concerned about President Biden's re-election chances, as polls show him trailing Donald Trump in key battleground states. "I'm concerned," co-host Sunny Hostin said. "When you look at these stats, it’s very clear that Biden is actually worse off now six months from the election than [Barack] Obama was and when Bill Clinton was." Hostin noted Biden's disapproval ratings were higher than both former President Obama and Clinton's were, but added it was ultimately "up to the American people," and that they were still six months out from Election Day.

A second amended complaint filed Friday in Manhattan federal court by six victims of Jeffrey Epstein who are suing the V.I. government for alleged violations of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act claims territory officials actively conspired with the late multimillionaire to perpetuate his sex-trafficking scheme for their own gain. In effect, the U.S. Virgin Islands became “a government-sanctioned sanctuary” for wealthy men who paid Epstein “substantial” sums of money to travel from New York to engage in commercial sex acts with women also traveling from that state, the amended suit alleges. Epstein would then deposit the funds in his New...

In a bid to outflank Biden for the women's vote, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. came out in favor of abortion at any time and for any reason up until birth, saying "every baby's death is a tragedy. Many of them leave permanent trauma on a woman. But I think, ultimately, I don't trust government to have jurisdiction over people's bodies." This announcement stunned RFK's running mate Nicole Shanahan who insisted "that is not Bobby's position, at least as far as I understand it. My understanding is that he absolutely believes in limits on abortion, and we've talked...

A longtime senior adviser to former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hit the Biden campaign over its strategy in a New York Times op-ed Sunday, arguing the president is siding too much with his base and leaving moderates behind. Mark Penn, who served as an adviser to the Clintons from 1995 to 2008 and now runs the Harris Poll, said focusing on the left wing of the Democratic Party instead of independent voters could cost him in November. “If Mr. Biden wants to serve another four years, he has to stop being dragged to the left...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that student protesters didn’t “know very much” about the Middle East. When asked about the protests at college campuses across the country, Clinton said, “First of all, I have had many conversations, as you have had, with a lot of young people over the last many months now. You are right. They don’t know very much at all about the history of the Middle East, or frankly about history in many areas of the world, including in our own country. With respect to the Middle East, they don’t...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that any woman with self-respect should vote for President Joe Biden. Clinton said, “Every generation has to keep alert and diligent. Not every generation necessarily has to fight, but this one does and we all do in order to take back our rights and to protect our rights. Unfortunately, it’s very tragic but not unexpected, there are people who want to turn the clock back on women. It’s not just in this country it’s happening in other places as well. Basically they want more control over women, more...

Hillary Clinton’s feminist Broadway musical Suffs is struggling at the box office despite receiving a bounty of Tony Award nominations and an outpouring of adulatory coverage from the mainstream news media. Suffs — a nearly three-hour musical about the rise of the suffragette movement, featuring a cast comprised entirely of women and gender “non-binary” performers — played to 81 percent capacity last week, while dipping to 78 percent capacity the week before, according to data from The Broadway League.

Students at the Queen's University Belfast have staged a sit-in protest on campus calling for the removal of Hillary Clinton as chancellor. In a statement, the QUB Palestine Assembly said they want to see a democratic election process for the next chancellor. The group is also calling for Queen's to end all ties with universities in Israel, to issue a statement 'condemning Israel's mass killing of Palestinians and deliberate destruction of Gaza's educational infrastructure' and offer sanctuary status to Palestinian academics and students. They have also condemned terminology and some content used in the university's deeply divided societies course around...
