In the WSJ, Jason L. Riley makes the case that Bill Clinton’s conduct lowered the bar for acceptable behavior in the White House, subsequently allowing a Donald Trump to be president. Mr. Clinton’s predatory behavior—and the left’s response to it—didn’t just make Mr. Weinstein’s antics more acceptable than they otherwise might have been. The former […]
The Obama Administration’s Uranium Scandal
Bill and Hillary Clinton were just doing what the Clintons do best—cashing in on their “public service.” A Kremlin-tied Russian bank paid the former president $500,000 for a single speech. Clinton’s wife Hillary was then secretary of state, Andrew McCarthy reminds readers in NRO. At the time, Russia was plotting — successfully — to secure […]

Corporate America Needs to Fight Hate, Not Help It Flourish
