Masked Female Jihadist "Wannabees" on American Campuses

 Phyllis Chesler

"Why are so many of the pro-Hamas protestors/demonstrators/rioters/jihadist-like rioters--girls and women? Why do they mask themselves voluntarily as well so as to disguise their identities? I have tried to address this question many times before. Ultimately, we might conclude that freedom is too heavy a burden for women in the West today, or that it's an odd form of rebellion, namely, they may feel that this is a way in which they can assert themselves, be loud, be proud, be "dangerous" in order to gain male or tribal approval without having to appear half-naked, gyrating, and wiggling.

"Maybe some of these jihadist-wannabees, like their male counterparts, are also getting paid by foreign Islamist entities. Perhaps they think that they're protecting the large number of pro-Hamas male foreigners who are here illegally. Is this a new and politically correct form of motherhood?

"Why do I write this? Ever since 10/7, I have viewed a large number of women in keffiyehs, banging drums, womanning the megaphones, gluing themselves to streets in order to impede traffic. However, in the awful "occupation" of Butler Library at Columbia this past week, of the 81 rioters arrested--61 were women. Seventy-five percent were women.

"I dunno. Were the male jihadist "wannabees" faster runners?

"I've been told that the police have not kept anyone of the 81 but have merely issued desk warrants. This means that they do have to appear in court at some point. Will they be fined a small sum? Will they be fined at all?

"Why, oh, why? These jihadist-like rioters surged into private property just as Hamas surged into southern Israel on 10/7. They are similarly masked. As my colleague Douglas Murray has asked: Would masked members of the KKK calling for the lynching of African-American men be so gently treated? Not arrested? Not called out? Not tossed out of school?

"OK. What is Columbia going to do--terminate those who are students? Not allow them to graduate? Prohibit them from being on the campus?""

In my opinion, the more successful Israel is in battling Hamas in Gaza (at great, great cost), the more intense are these campus riots. The two are connected."

Ovations for the Black, Gay, Trans Graduate Speaker Who Wants to Kill the Jews

Phyllis Chesler

How bad is the march of propaganda really? Just the other day, I attended a zoom meeting of some college presidents who proudly focused on their support for Gaza and for Palestine.Until or unless we can turn this around, it will only get worse.

 Israel  at MIT last month

"For years now, in my own fair city, graduation speakers have gratuitously condemned Israel and praised Islamic terrorism against the Jewish state. Their classmates, professors, and fellow students have given them long ovations.

"Just yesterday, the speaker designated by the student body at NYU's Gallatin Division, Logan Rozos, said this:

" 'The only thing that is appropriate to say at this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine. I do not wish to speak only to my own politics today, but speak for all people of conscience, all people who feel the moral injury of this atrocity. I condemn this genocide and complicity in this genocide.”

"You may see it here for yourself: NYU Commencement Speech

"What's even more important than Rozos's pseudo-brave speech for Hamas and for Gaza is the thunderous ovation that he got from other graduating students while and after he spoke.

"No doubt fearful of losing federal funding, NYU spokesperson John Beckman has issued a statement denouncing Rozos's speech as "a one-sided abuse of his opportunity to speak at commencement." Apparently, Rozos had "lied about the speech he was going to deliver." Beckman said that Rozos's diploma would be withheld--at least for now. (We'll see whether, if and how, Rozos might be disciplined.)

"I doubt that Rozos will be punished--he will be acclaimed. Who is he? Although NYU immediately deleted Rozos's bio, I managed to find this profile on Firelight Media. Rozos is described as "an actor, artist, and gay Black trans man." Here it is:

“He was an honoree in Teen Vogue’s 20 Under 20 Queer Artists and Activists To Watch and a recipient of the 2019 Parity Award for outstanding work by LGBTQ people of faith. WHAT WILL I BECOME? will be his first project as a director.

‍“Co-directed by Lexie Bean and Logan Rozos, WHAT WILL I BECOME? is a feature documentary weaving together the stories of two trans boys who died by suicide and trans masculine+ community surviving the suppression and isolation that comes with binary masculinity, while offering resources and imagination for a way forward.”

"The cults of Palestinians and the trans cult are joined in Rozos's identity, making him almost invulnerable to criticism or punishment. The fact that Rozos also identified himself as black, gay, and trans renders him the hero of the day--no, of the year, or of the century.

What is going on? Let's mention Qatar, which had a long-range plan. It chose not to bomb American infidels--although it did fund many Muslim terrorist-jihadists who did so. Qatar also shielded and paid for the leaders of Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Taliban.

But that was not enough. In addition, Qatar has sent many billions of dollars to infiltrate, take over, and take down the American Academy. Did no one see this coming? Or was the Red-Green Alliance already in formation on American campuses, among the professoriate, administration, and generations of their students?" . . .

“For Posterity’s Sake”: Why the Biden-Hur Tapes is a Virtual Racketeering Indictment

Jonathan Turley  

"The real indictment that comes out of these tapes is a type of political racketeering enterprise by the Washington establishment. It took a total team effort from Democratic politicians to the White House staff to the media to hide the fact that the President of the United States was mentally diminished."

“ 'For posterity’s sake.” Those words from President Joe Biden sum up the crushing impact of the leaked audiotapes from the interview between then-President Joe Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur. Not only did they remove any serious doubt over Biden committing the federal crimes charged against President Donald Trump, but they also constituted what is akin to a political racketeering indictment against much of the Washington establishment.

"The interview from Oct. 8-9, 2023, has long been sought by Congress, but was kept under wraps by the government even as Biden campaigned for a second term.

"Many of us balked at Hur’s conclusion that no charges were appropriate despite the fact that the President removed classified material for decades, stored it in grossly negligent ways, and moved it around to unsecure locations, including his garage in Delaware.

"Given President Donald Trump’s indictment for the same offenses, it was hard to imagine how the Special Counsel could not recommend the same criminal charges (presumably after he left office).

"Instead, Hur declared it would have been hard to get a jury to convict Biden because he was “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

"It appears that Trump, on the other hand, was presumptively not sympathetic or well-meaning and possessed a good memory for prosecution.

"The contrast was glaring and only reinforced the view of many citizens that there are two tracks for justice in Washington.

"Soon after the report’s release, President Biden gave an irate press conference in which he lied about the findings of his culpability and lashed out at any suggestion that he had gapped or stumbled in the interview.

"For example, when reporters raised how Biden forgot when his son Beau died, Biden angrily responded, “How in the hell dare he raise that?” Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damn business.”

"However, it was not Hur but Biden himself who raised the death of his son, and he forgot a wide array of dates, including when he served in office.

"Nevertheless, media outlets like the Atlantic followed the lead of the White House in attacking Hur for “misleading” the public on Biden’s memory." . .

How 10 violent New Orleans inmates escaped jail — after leaving taunting graffiti for cops. Did Biden's DEI policies affect New Orleans security?

 NY Post  "The 10 violent inmates who escaped a Louisiana prison Friday broke out using a small window that was covered by a toilet — and left a wall full of taunting graffiti for investigators, photos show. Orleans Justice Center officials made the shocking discovery during headcount at 8:30 a.m. — just over eight hours after the jibe-happy gang of allegedly violent offenders used the small porthole to enter a maintenance area, scale a wall and exit the New Orleans prison, WVUE reported." . . .

Remember the Bourbon Street attack on January 2025?   FBI refuses to say if diversity hire who said New Orleans terror attack wasn't a terror attack is being disciplined or fired | Law Enforcement Today | lawenforcementtoday.com  "During a morning press briefing, New Orleans field office FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan, an apparent DEI hire bearing a nose ring, took to the podium and said the attack was “not a terrorist event” to surprised members of the media, equally surprised local law enforcement officials and incredulous viewers watching on television. The FBI quickly walked back Duncan’s statement and said the attack was indeed under investigation as a terror incident. 

"In the early morning hours of New Year’s Day and only a short time after the attack, while Bourbon Street was still closed as an active crime scene, Duncan took to the podium. 

" 'We’ll be taking over the investigative lead for this event. This is not a terrorist event,” Duncan said in front of unbelieving first responders. “What it is right now is improvised explosive devices that was found.” That is a direct quote. 

"Duncan expected people to believe that a man drove down a crowded sidewalk on New Year’s Eve, running people down, and then when he crashed his truck, started shooting indiscriminately, including at police officers, and it was not a terrorist attack. Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were found, and the truck was flying an ISIS flag, but it “is not a terrorist event.” This is today’s FBI. 

"Her explanation was soon dismissed, albeit not directly, when the mayor of New Orleans, LaToya Cantrell, said it was indeed a terror attack." . . .

DNI Tulsi Gabbard: Comey Should Be ‘Put Behind Bars’ For ‘Issuing a Hit on President Trump

 American Greatness  

"An outspoken critic of the president, Comey has previously stated that he saw Trump as “morally unfit” to serve as commander-in-chief."

"Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Fox News Thursday night that ex-FBI Director James Comey should be “put behind bars” for “issuing a call to assassinate” President Donald Trump on social media.

"Earlier Thursday, Comey shared a photo of seashells on a sandy beach that spelled out “86 47,” and captioned the post “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.”

"The number “86” has long been recognized as slang for kill, nix, or eliminate, and the number “47” is typically used to refer to Trump, the 47th President of the United States. Used in the military, 86 can refer to scrapping equipment or ending a mission, or, more sharply, mean neutralizing or eliminating a target. The term has also been associated with black ops and intelligence slang to denote the permanent, off the books removal of a target.

"Comey deleted the post and claimed he wasn’t aware that the number “86” stood for any sort of violence, an implausible excuse given his former high position in the Intelligence Community." . . .

"During an appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Gabbard said Comey knew exactly what he was doing and needs to “be held to account according to the law.”

"The DNI told Watters that “a little over a month ago, a bunch of anti-Trump, anti-Musk protesters were proliferating the use of this 86-47 slogan, which is a veiled call to action to murder the sitting president of the United States.”

"Gabbard continued: “For Comey to think that we, the American people, are so stupid as to think that he—as a former FBI Director, a former prosecutor, and someone who clearly pays attention to what’s going on—didn’t know what this actually was calling for.” . . .

Robert Hur Has Been Vindicated on Biden's Senility, and Now It's Time for the Receipts and a Reckoning

Source: Lucianne . . . Of course, we can't talk about Biden's senility without including former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. She likewise slammed Hur after he released his report.  

Tapper, who is now trying to pretend he wasn't an active participant in the cover-up by releasing a book on Biden's senility, dutifully had Schiff and others on to push their baseless narrative against Hur. People like Brian Stelter likewise went after conservative news outlets for describing the interview accurately.

 . . ."As RedState reported, several portions of audio from Joe Biden's infamous interview with former special counsel Robert Hur were published by Axios on Friday, and to say they were shocking would be the understatement of the century.

"It's not that we didn't know Biden was completely senile. This site has written countless stories on the multitude of public appearances by Biden that devolved into doddering confusion, whether it was slurring his words, forgetting the names of his cabinet officials, or repeatedly getting lost trying to exit stages. What we hadn't gotten was a peek behind the curtain of what the former president was like when the cameras were off and his handlers hadn't pumped him full of whatever over-stimulating drug cocktail they were using. We now have that, and the peek is not pretty." . . .

Newly Released Biden-Hur Audio Captures Former President’s Stumbles from Special Counsel Interview  "Newly released audio from then-President Joe Biden’s lengthy interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur captures Biden’s diminished mental acuity in his failure to recall the year his son Beau passed away, the year his vice presidency ended, the year President Donald Trump was first elected, and why he possessed certain classified documents.". . . 

. . ."Before Hur released the report, the Biden White House attempted to pressure him into editing parts of it focusing on Biden’s age. Attorney General Merrick Garland later dismissed critics who argued that he should have intervened to water down Hur’s report." . . .

The never-ending question, always asked; never answered:

With Biden/Hur Tapes Released the Question is, Who Was Running the Country?   "The interview tapes reveal the scope of cognitive decline the control agents around Joe Biden were trying to keep hidden from the country. As the tapes reveal, Joe Biden was not in any capacity to be in office. The question remains, who was running the country?. . .

That audio segment dealt with how confused Biden was, even over such a pivotal moment as when his son died. As you may recall, Biden later didn't tell the truth and attacked the Hur team for mentioning his son, but the audio shows that yes, indeed, it was Biden who brought up his son

. . ."Obviously, Jill Biden was/is a power-hungry enabler for the entire dynamic.  Sick and twisted people operate like this.  Think of all the COVID-19 nonsense this crew carried out in 2021 and 2022, including the vaccine mandate and all of the authoritarian rules that came with the “Biden” COVID response stuff.  These are sick people." . . . 

Rambling Joe  . . . "Anyone who thought that Biden was mentally competent to serve as president should have his head examined. The Democrats who spoke up on his behalf should exit left. The members of the mainstream press — virtually all of whom circled the wagons around him — should answer for what they did." . . .

James Comey’s Riddle in the Sand

"He is about to experience the hell he has put so many other Americans through."

 The American Spectator  

Comey may be criminally charged and/or convicted. But, even if he isn’t, he is about to undergo the absolute and ruinously expensive hell that he and his agents have put so many others through. For, in our system of justice, even at the investigative phase, the process is the punishment.

"On April 11, 2025, Aliakbar Mohammed Amin was arrested in Georgia for allegedly threatening to kill Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and her family. He was charged with transmitting interstate threats after sending text messages targeting Gabbard, her husband, President Trump, and the White House.

"The messages included statements such as “You and your family are going to die soon” and “Prepare to die, you, Tulsi, and everyone you hold dear. America will burn.” Federal agents searched his social media and found similar threats as well as images of a firearm pointed at photos of Gabbard and her husband. A firearm was recovered from his home during a search. He is in custody pending trial and faces up to five years in prison if convicted.

"Amin has been charged pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Sec. 875(c) which provides, in relevant part, the following:

Donkey Hotey

(c) Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

"This statute prohibits threats sent through interstate systems such as text messages, emails, or social media. However, under the relevant caselaw, it must be proven that the defendant transmitted the communication with the purpose of issuing a threat or with knowledge or reckless disregard that it would be interpreted as a threat. Also, the transmitted communication must convey a serious expression of intent to commit unlawful violence as distinguished from hyperbole, political speech, or idle talk.

"Which brings us to May 15, 2025, when — like an empty-headed, attention-seeking 13 year old — former FBI Director James Comey posted a photograph on Instagram showing seashells arranged on the beach to form the numbers “8647.” Comey captioned the picture as follows: “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.” (RELATED: James Comey’s Insane ‘86 47’ Threat)

"The post was deleted shortly thereafter due to backlash from those who interpreted it as a threat against Donald Trump, the 47th president, with “86” being slang for “get rid of” or “kill.” Comey then issued a follow-up statement on Instagram saying, “I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on the beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.” . . .

86 47 and what madness the U.S. is coming to   

. . ."Suffice it to say that Trump has been triumphant on many things, but the judiciary will likely be this country’s executioner. As Lincoln once noted, “If destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we must live through all times or die by suicide.” But Abe probably didn’t see the judiciary as the entity doing the euthanizing."

So where are the Democrats who condemn James Comey's implicit call to kill the president? 

. . ."The only thing that can be concluded here is that they condone these threats. That would correspond to many polls of Democrat ideas and attitudes as their party goes downhill. One poll, from the University of Buckingham, taken shortly after the first assassination attempt on President Trump, found that a third of Democrats were sorry the assassin missed the president. This tells us all we need to know about the atmosphere in that party." 

  

Amazing: James Comey Finds Natural Rock Formation Spelling Out 'EXPLODE TRUMP'S HEAD WITH A BOOMERANG'

Do we really need to label this parody?

 Babylon Bee

U.S. — Former FBI Director James Comey found himself in hot water this week for posting what he claimed was a natural rock formation that appeared to spell out "EXPLODE TRUMP'S HEAD WITH A BOOMERANG."

"The photo, posted on Comey's Instagram account, depicted a collection of rocks which he claimed to have found sitting in a natural formation. According to Comey, it was entirely a coincidence that they happened to spell out "EXPLODE TRUMP'S HEAD WITH A BOOMERANG."

" 'Cool rock formation on my beach walk," Comey wrote in a caption that accompanied the image.

"The viral photo immediately attracted negative attention for the retired public servant. "I've devoted my life to my country, now I just want to spend my days taking long walks on the beach where I can imagine Trump's corpse buried beneath the majestic sands," he said. "You people are reading way too much into this picture of cool rocks I found."

"Geologists said it was impossible for rocks to have appeared on the beach naturally in such a formation, noting that rocks are not capable of speaking English. "They speak rock language, everyone knows that," said associate geologist Dominique Fordquilt. "Nice looking rocks, though."

"At publishing time, Comey was forced to delete the Instagram photo due to the backlash and replace it with what he claimed was a natural formation of dead fish washed up on the beach that spelled out "I'M SORRY.' "

California Schools Are a Mess

 American Greatness  

"In 2025, several education bills were signed into law, ranging from rules to protect young people from being outed against their will to regulations that require elementary schools to offer free menstruation products." 

 

"For many years, Mississippi schools were among the worst in the nation. However, in 2024, test scores in both fourth-grade math and reading on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) increased significantly, surpassing those of California’s fourth-graders.

"In math, Mississippi is now ranked 16th nationally, while California is 43rd. More stunningly, Mississippi ranks 7th in reading, whereas California is 39th.

"Why did historically low-performing Mississippi advance in reading?Per-pupil spending and teacher pay are certainly not the reasons.

 "California is 20th in the nation in per-pupil spending, while Mississippi is 44th. The average teacher salary in California for the 2023-2024 school year was the highest in the U.S. at $101,084 per year. In contrast, Mississippi’s average educator makes just $53,704, 48th in the country.

"The reason for the dramatic shift is that Mississippi passed the Literacy-Based Promotion Act, a landmark education reform law, in 2013. The law ensures that all students read at or above grade level by the end of third grade. This sweeping set of reforms includes requiring schools to focus heavily on phonics-based instruction, also known as the “Science of Reading.”

"Additionally, Mississippi ended the practice of promoting third graders who couldn’t read proficiently. Instead, the state invested in specialized reading coaches rather than expanding central office bureaucracies and demanded excellence, provided targeted support, and held students, teachers, and administrators accountable.

"Notably, the success wasn’t limited to one demographic. Black students in Mississippi matched the broader gains, demonstrating that when high expectations are set for Black children, they rise to meet them."

Larry Sand, a retired 28-year classroom teacher, is the president of the non-profit California Teachers Empowerment Network—a non-partisan, non-political group dedicated to providing teachers and the general public with reliable and balanced information about professional affiliations and positions on educational issues.

‘Nobody Cares’: ["Chardonnay socialist"] Bruce Springsteen Mocked For Tirade Against Trump

 I've always loved the guy's music and even have a shortcut to his XM channel. But the pleasure of listening just is not there and hasn't been for, well, since Biden. The Tunnel Dweller.

"Singer and leftist Bruce Springsteen opened his “Land of Hopes and Dreams” tour with his E Street Band by delivering a lengthy diatribe on foreign soil against President Donald Trump, which led to mockery and criticism on social media.

"The 75-year-old recording artist took to the stage on Wednesday in Manchester, England, to make his complaints." . . .

. . . "While some social media users agreed with Springsteen’s message, a large number of commenters were critical of the statements he was making.

“Nobody cares what Bruce Springsteen has to say,” one X user replied. 

“Bruce Springsteen has completely lost his mind,” another commenter observed. “He goes full MSNBC instead of just playing the music people were there to hear. Entertainers are such narcissists.” . . .

Bruce Springsteen Rants About Trump Overseas — Then Trump Drops a Nuke on Him   (RANT: to talk loudly and in a way that shows anger : to complain in a way that is unreasonable) 

 Springsteen has constantly sided with the far left on most political issues. But over recent years, his political commentary has grown decidedly dumber. In 2016, he canceled a concert in North Carolina in protest of a law restricting trans-identified people from using restrooms that do not correspond with their biological sex.

 . . . "It might be unseemly to criticize a musical legend like “The Boss.” So I won’t. I’ll simply point out that it might not be the greatest idea to take political opinions from someone who thinks men belong in women’s bathrooms."

Comey Deletes Trump Assassination Social Media Post – Updates With UNBELIEVABLE Comment

 What Does 'Eighty-Six' Mean? | Merriam-Webster  It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out.

What to Know;   Eighty-six is slang meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to." It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out. There is varying anecdotal evidence about why the term eighty-six was used, but the most common theory is that it is rhyming slang for nix.

Comey Deletes Trump Assassination Social Media Post – Updates With UNBELIEVABLE Comment 

. . .“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” Comey said on Instagram.

"So Comey expects the public to believe that he, a former FBI Director, did not know the meaning of “86.”

"James Comey is also implying he did not assemble the shell formation. He is claiming that he just happened to stumble across the assassination message while he was on his beach walk." . . .

James Comey’s tenure as FBI Director was a disaster, and Comey will go down in history as one of the worst “public servants” of the modern era. But did he really issue a death threat against President Trump?

Comment in Fox News: by brock_o_bama:

Still lying after all these years.

Easy to see how he gave Hillary a pass.

He's as compromised as they get.

"The Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued

“Look, here’s the deal: They’re sending agents out, and they’re going talk to him, and he’s not going to have a choice,” Marino said. “He’s going to have to talk to them, because this stuff about, well, you know, I found this on the beach. I didn’t know what it meant. None of that makes sense.”

If these are the same "pro-Hamas" bunch, it all stands to reason. They chant as told and have no original thoughts I can discern. One can expect expect Greta Thunberg to soon take part in this. TD

From Legal Insurrection:  Karol Markowicz wrote about the “86” slang at The New York Post last month:   "In Holland, Mich., Redmond, Ore., and elsewhere, grinning marchers wore shirts and carried placards emblazoned with the number “8647,” pairing the old slang term for murder with a 47 for Trump. One 8647 protester stood right alongside Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison in Minneapolis.  

“Hands off or heads off,” read the message on a life-size guillotine paraded about in Denver.

"Comey claimed he saw the shells and had no idea of the deeper meaning of the message."

RealClearPolitics... After two assassination attempts against Trump, it doesn’t matter, Gabbard said.

"She pointed out that Comey made a career out of prosecuting mobsters, who regular use the term “86” as code for murder and that the phrase had already been circulating among anti-Trump and anti-Elon Musk protesters as calls to assassinate the 47^th president.

“This is a guy issuing a hit on President Trump,” she said." 

Peter Doocy is skeptical.

"Ya gotta love the sheer, decidedly out front, hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton."

 The American Spectator

 Which is to say, the president, as commander in chief, accepted the plane as a gift to the United States and as such it “will be given to the Department of Defense.”

Broc Smith, the Toonsmith

Hillary Accepted Foreign Gifts  . . . "Then there was this from Red State: “Hillary Clinton Rips Trump Over Qatar Plane, Gets Slapped With Reminder of the Gifts She Accepted.”

"The story reports, with, again, bold print for emphasis supplied:

Clinton, ever the grizzled political veteran, had to know that critics’ responses were going to come flying in fast and furious, even with the comments on her posts being turned off.

And they most certainly did, many of which involved gentle reminders that Clinton was embroiled in countless pay-to-play donation controversies while serving as Secretary of State under President Barack Obama. Not to mention, while preparing to run for President. 

One such gift came from — you guessed it — Qatar.

Reuters reported on a $1 million donation sent in 2011 by Qatari officials to the Clinton Foundation in honor of her husband’s birthday. The Foundation was forced to confirm that it received the gift from Qatar “without informing the State Department,” while Clinton was Secretary of State, after hacked emails published by Wikileaks years later revealed they wanted to meet Bill in person to hand him the check.

According to the same report, the Qatari government had donated up to $5 million to the foundation over the years, which were significant gifts to a former and, what many thought at the time, future President.

 "One could go on and on and on with this particular Clinton hypocrisy." . . .
