Streisand gave the former president and former Democratic presidential candidate much more than a shout out at her concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, her hometown.

She noted that she performed at President Clintons inauguration and then went on to list his accomplishments, including lowering taxes for some and raising taxes on the rich.

And speaking of taxes, he showed us his tax returns, she said, a dig at Republican President Donald Trump, who has refused to release his.

She also introduced Hillary Clinton as the winner of our countrys popular vote.

She later talked about hearing a recent interview by Hillary Clinton and said it makes us yearn for what could have been, what should have been. I was thrilled to hear yourself describe yourself as an activist citizen and part of the resistance.

Taking another shot at Trump and his tweeting habits, she quipped: Usually when a man that age is up at 4 a.m., he forgot to take his Flomax, referring to a medication to treat the prostate.

Despite the Trump barbs, she called for a bridging of the political divide before breaking into Happy Days Are Here Again.

Streisand had been a longtime Democratic fundraiser and supporter, and friend of the Clintons.

Streisand, who recently turned 75, was doing two dates in the New York City area, calling it a mini-tour. She hinted it could be her last.

When the audience moaned, she shrugged her shoulders and said, You know other things to do.

Bill Maher tells ‘liberal purists’ who didn’t support Hillary Clinton: ‘Go fk yourselves’ – Washington Examiner

Liberal political comedian Bill Maher shared a stern message for the "liberal purists" who refused to support Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election: "Go fuck yourselves."

During the Friday episode of his HBO show "Real Time," Maher argued that the first 100 days of President Trump's presidency provides enough evidence to ask liberals who "couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary because she was the lesser of two evils."

"Quite a bit lesser, wouldn't you say now?" he added to applause.

Maher explained that this monologue wasn't about "reliving the last election or my great love for Clinton, which never was.

"This is about winning the next election," Maher said. "And that begins with learning the difference between an imperfect friend and a deadly enemy."

Amid a flurry of rhetorical questions, Maher made the point that Clinton as president, in contrast to Trump, wouldn't roll back climate change regulations, wouldn't be Russian President Vladimir Putin's "bitch," and support a healthcare plan to pay for a tax cut for herself.

"Do you really think if just-as-evil Hillary had been elected conservatives would now be in control of the Supreme Court as they will for decades? Just wait until the 5-to-4 decisions start rolling in gutting unions, making it harder for minorities to vote, siding with polluters, overturning abortion rights," Maher said.

"Then maybe you'll join me in saying to the liberal purists: Go fuck yourselves with the locally grown organic cucumber," Maher said.

Judge Jeanine Slams Hillary Clinton: ‘You’re a Loser’ ‘Face It, and Get Back In the Woods!’ – Breitbart News

During her opening statement on Saturdays edition of the Fox News Channels Justice, Judge Jeanine Pirro ripped into 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton after she blamed WikiLeaks andJim Comeys letter on October 28thfor losing the election to President Donald Trump.

Judge Jeanine called Clinton a loser and told her to go back into hiding.

Hillary, snap out of it, Pirro said. Im tired of going through this with you. Youre a two-time loser who lost because you were a lousy candidate, you didnt have a message, you lied every time you opened your mouth; you didnt know what states to campaign in, you put our national security at risk with your amateur email setup, you were in a foundation that was nothing more than an organized criminal enterprise parading as a charity, four men died under your watch as you lied about a video, and there [were] a billion dollars missing from the State Department when you left. And I could go on and on, but I just dont have the time. So, stop with the poor me nonsense. Weve had it with you Clintons always claiming victimhood. The two of you havent followed the rules since the day you both showed up in your bell bottoms in Arkansas.

She later warned, Be careful, Hillary. Be very, very careful. You pulled the wool over Jim Comeys eyes once, and you actually got the president to say youre a nice lady. Dont be so sure youre going to get away with your new game, given your illegal, ill-advised, and incompetent instincts. Youre a loser, Hillary. Face it. Face it, and get back in the woods!

Hospitals, doctors and insurers criticize health bill | Hillary Clinton to launch ‘resistance’ PAC – MarketWatch

President Donald Trump congratulates House Speaker Paul Ryan at a White House celebration after the House passed the American Health Care Act on Thursday. Hospitals and doctors, among others, are criticizing the bill.

In a rare moment of unity, hospitals, doctors, health insurers and some consumer groups are urging significant changes, at minimum, to the Republican health-care bill that passed the House on Thursday, writes the New York Times.

The prospect of millions of people being unable to afford coverage if the bill becomes law led to an outcry from the health-care industry as well as consumer groups. They found an ally in some insurers, who rely heavily on Medicare and Medicaid as mainstays of their business. The bill, which is expected to undergo changes in the Senate, makes deep cuts to Medicaid.

Also read: Opinion: Republicans health-care bill would be comical if it werent so dangerous.

And: Say what? Trump praises Australias universal health care.

Senate readies own bill: Senators arent content to just take up the House-passed bill, as comments collected by the Washington Post indicate. I think there will be essentially a Senate bill, said Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, the fourth-ranking Senate Republican.

One potential area for change: Republican senators from states that have expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare have voiced concerns about rollbacks to that program in the House bill. Those senators include Rob Portman of Ohio and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia.

Clintons resistance PAC: CNN reports Hillary Clinton will soon launch a political organization aimed at funding resistance groups that are standing up to President Donald Trump. Trumps Democratic foe in the 2016 presidential election is working with former aides and donors to build an organization that will look to fund and invest in groups that have impressed her since she lost the contest, CNN says.

Also read: Losing to Trump in November took some doing on Clintons part, says Obama strategist Axelrod.

Freedom Caucus working on tax plan: The conservative House Freedom Caucus is crafting a tax-reform bill as the subject heats up in Congress, Politico reports. The caucus, which roiled an early effort to repeal and replace Obamacare, would be parachuting into what promises to be a pitched battle over another marquee issue. Politico says members appear to be more aligned with the Trump administration on how deep tax cuts should be.
