'Shattered' Charts Hillary Clinton's Course Into the Iceberg - New York Times

Planned Parenthood announced last week that it will honor former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton with the groups first-ever Champion of the Century award. The organization will host a number of events this year to commemorate the centennial year of its founding in October 1916. Among those events will be a gala 100 Years Strong: The Celebration of a Century held on May 2 in New York City.

According to Planned Parenthoods press release, the gala will honor Clinton for her 40 years of service to women and girls in this country. At the same event, the group will present its Champion of Change award to producer Shonda Rhimes for revolutionizing the way women and issues of reproductive health including safe, legal abortion are portrayed on television.

This refers to Rhimess work as creator and producer of the television show Scandal, which in 2015 featured a scene depicting the shows main character undergoing an onscreen abortion while the Christmas song Silent Night played in the background. (The abortion itself was not pictured graphically; the camera focused on the characters face as the procedure occurred.)

These two awards are merely the latest proof that Planned Parenthood is not, in fact, an innocent defender of womens rights. Nor is it a pro-choice organization that exists to give American women an array of health-care options. Planned Parenthood is an abortion corporation that seeks every possible opportunity to glorify abortion and deify the public figures who push for total access to government-funded abortion-on-demand.

Clinton who has already received Planned Parenthoods Margaret Sanger award, named after the groups eugenicist founder has done little of note throughout her long and unsuccessful political career to serve American women and children, but she has always been a prominent and staunch supporter of abortion. And the love goes both ways: Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards stumped for Clintons campaign across the country in 2016, and her organizations political-action arms donated around $38 million to Democratic candidates at all levels in the last election cycle.

In return for this support, Clinton as the Democratic nominee oversaw the horrifying decision to alter her partys platform, adopting the most pro-abortion policy stance the party has ever taken. The revised Democratic platform endorses the full repeal of the Hyde Amendment which bans the direct taxpayer funding of abortion and calls for the repeal of all federal and state policies that impede abortion in any way, including abortions through the last week of pregnancy In fact, in the final debate of the presidential election, Clinton categorically defended late-term abortion, using a disingenuous definition womens health to justify partial-birth procedures.

Neither Planned Parenthood nor its Champion of the Century is committed to protecting or serving women and girls. Though the group claims to offer women an array of health-care choices, it has grossly exaggerated its commitment to providing prenatal care, which in fact is almost entirely unavailable at its clinics. Planned Parenthood continues to assert that abortion is a mere 3 percent of its services, even though that inaccurate statistic has been debunked numerous times, including by left-leaning outlets such as Slate and the Washington Post.

The companys leadership has routinely and falsely claimed that its clinics offer mammograms, though they have never done so. The group provides less than 1 percent of the nations Pap tests and less than 2 percent of its breast exams and cancer screenings, while performing 325,000 abortions annually, about one-third of the abortions performed in the U.S. each year. Planned Parenthood clinics are outnumbered across the country by federally qualified health-care clinics by a ratio of 20 to 1, and these alternative clinics actually provide women an extensive array of health-care options.

Planned Parenthood was recently subject to a 15-month congressional investigation, which uncovered extensive evidence that the group has been involved in the illegal trafficking of the body parts of aborted babies, for which the group apparently received monetary compensation. It has been referred by Congress to both federal and local law-enforcement agencies for further investigation.

Meanwhile, as Planned Parenthood takes the time to plan its fancy gala and hand out unmerited awards, it has yet to produce an annual financial report for the 201516 fiscal year. This, while the group continues to accept half a billion dollars of taxpayer money from the federal government each year. Whats more, several reports indicate that some of the groups affiliates have engaged in possible Medicaid fraud to cover up use of this public funding to directly facilitate abortion procedures.

There is no doubt that Clinton richly deserves this award, as she has long been a public champion for Planned Parenthood, sanctioning the murder of thousands of children and forcing unwilling Americans to pay for it. But as information continues to surface about the abortion groups illegal activity and public deceptions, it becomes increasingly evident that neither Clinton nor Planned Parenthood is a true champion of women and children. One can only hope that, in the fullness of time, Planned Parenthoods disgracefully propped-up fortunes take the same disastrous turn as did Hillary Clintons presidential ambitions.

Why Hillary Clinton Deserves Planned Parenthood's Award - National Review

Trump was a vocal supporter of Knox during her incarceration and trial in Italy and, according to The New York Times, is not happy that the Seattle native voted for Hillary Clinton for president.

Back in 2011, Donald Trump tweeted that he believed Seattle native Amanda Knox was innocent. More than once.

In fact, Trumpspoke out on Knox behalf at the time and tweeted five times in support of her, proclaiming her innocence and blasting the U.S. government for allegedly not doing enough to help her, wroteGreg Hadley of The McClatchy Company.

Knox had been spending a year abroad in 2007 when her roommate was murdered. Knox, her boyfriend and another man were convicted in the death of Meredith Kercher. The twisted case went all the way to the Italys highest court where, in 2011, Knoxs overturned conviction was upheld.

When Knoxwas acquitted, Trump called it good news indeed.

But, according to an interview with the New York Times, Trump is now angry with Knox because she was open and unapologetic about voting for Hilary Clinton in 2016.

The allegation that Trump is angry with Knox came from the Times interview with Trumps neighbor, friend and adviser, George Guido Lombardi, who said Trump had asked him to look into her case when he was in his native Italy. Lombard told the Times reporter that the president was very upset with Knox.

In acolumn for the West Seattle Heraldlast year, Knox defended her decision to support Clinton over Trump, acknowledging that Trump had believed in her during her worst and most vulnerable moment but also listed the many political issues on which they differ and argued that he was not entitled to her politicalbacking.

Politics is not a tit-for-tat game, she wrote in the column. Its not: I helped you, now you help me.

The Democratic National Committee announced on Sunday that Hillary Clintons campaign had turned over its email list, giving the party a major boost as it rebuilds under a new chair and prepares for the midterm elections next year and the 2020 presidential race.

The list, provided as an in-kind contribution from the Hillary for America campaign organization, includes more than 10 million new names that the DNC did not have on its voter files, according to both Clinton and DNC aides. The contribution was valued as $3.5 million, according to data from the Federal Election Commission.

This information will help candidates up and down the ballot engage with voters and win seats from the school board to the Senate, said Xochitl Hinojosa, communications director for the DNC. Were seeing momentum and energy across the country, and this investment will help us harness the energy and turn it into votes.

The decision to turn over the email list in addition to providing the DNC with its analytics and voter modeling tools fulfills a campaign promise that Clinton made. During the primary, the former secretary of state pledged that if she were nominated,she would focus her resources on rebuilding a Democratic Party infrastructure that had decayed under President Barack Obama.

[P]utting the DNC on a strong footing is something that shes been very focused on since the campaign, when she set out to leave the DNC in the black and did so, said Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill. But in addition to a strong financial footing, sharing campaign data and resources is something she views as critical to electing Democrats in 2017, 2018 and beyond. It is an important and unprecedented step toward a strong, unified Democratic Party going forward.

Obamas win in 2008 had bolstered the partys elected ranks. But his own outside group, Organizing for Action, attempted to play much of the traditional role of the DNC, fostering frustration within party ranks. National and state party officials worried that local races were neglected in favor of Obama-specific ones. And they chaffed that they were not given complete access to the OFA email list until 2015.

Clintons email list will allow the party and its state affiliates to more effectively target voters in the lead-up to the 2018 midterms. But the party still does not have the crown jewel of email lists: that collected by Sen. Bernie Sanders 2016 campaign, which has the names of millions of individuals who do not associate with the Democratic Party and were brought into the political process largely because of their affinity for the independent Vermont senator.

Sanders team has been reluctant to hand that information to the DNC out of fear that the list will be misusedby the committee and under the belief that the individuals on it did not sign up as Democrats but as supporters of Sanders.

Hillary Clinton's Campaign Turns Over Email List To DNC - Huffington Post

It seems that Hillary Clinton is following in her nephew's footsteps as a model. The former presidential candidate has been spotted modeling a pair of pink heels from pop superstar Katy Perry's new shoeline.

According to the Katy Perry Collection website, the shoe Clinton is wearing is a suede pump with a 3.5-inch heel with sparkling stars and moons inside.The heel aptly named 'The Hillary' comes in a seafoam green, and a trendy millennial pink which Clinton can be seen graciously modeling on Instagram.

The shoe is definitely fitting for a strong lady like Clinton who reached for the stars last year during her presidential campaign. Although the outcome didn't quite turn out as expected, Clinton set a precedent for future women to continue breaking through the 'glass ceiling.'

It should come to no surprise that Clinton chose to wear Perry's heel considering the two women actually have a pretty solid relationship. Not only do the duo share the same birthday, but the singerendorsed the former presidential candidate during her campaign.

Clinton is really well-known for her fabulous array of pantsuits, all in different colors. What many may not know is that Clinton's sense of style is a statement pink heels and all.

Clinton' wardrobe falls under a specific fashion style born in the late 70s known aspower dressing. The style helps empower women to establish their authority in professional and political settings that are normally dominated by men.

Former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, was one of the first women to incorporate a black "power suit" in order to present a professional, yet commanding persona. Claiming that her style was "never flashy, just appropriate," Thatcher was at the forefront of the style that forced mento take women in the workforce seriously.

Since then, the style has gone through different stages of evolution. Women like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton are considered to be new faces of the fashion style since they incorporated dresses, gowns, and most importantly, bright colors.

During an interview withTelegraph, Nina McLemore, the designer behind Clinton's pantsuits explained that Clinton's wardrobe is inspired by the power dressing style.

McLemore is a firm believer that someone's confidence level can be linked to their appearance and sense of style. She said:

"Women from a very early stage in their careers need to think about dressing to succeed. Dressing in a way that the people in power see you as someone who is serious about her career and wants to be sitting at that top table.

It means the clothes you wear also can send that message of 'Im a positive person which is much more challenging for men in grey suits to project, short of resorting to a novelty tie."

The colors of Clinton's pantsuits also play a strong role in the powerful image she projects. McLemore, the designer behind Clinton's pantsuits explained why she chooses such vibrant colors. She said:

"Color can change your attractiveness entirely and how people see you. What a woman wants is skin that has a pink touch to it, not grey or yellow which is what black does.

I've given many talks to law and accounting firms. I walk in and 70-80% of the people are in black, so of course they don't stand out."

While Clinton's pantsuits help project a powerful and professional image, the pink heels are the icing on the cake.

The millennial pink shoethat Perry describes as a "Power Pump," has not only been trending for quite some time, but it also pushes the definition of power dressing.

Millennial pink first showed up in 2012 as a toned-down, pastel Barbie Pink. The term was coined in 2016 since the color was beginning to overtake the closets of many millennial women.

Since then, the colorhas been seen in different ad campaigns, makeup, and hairstyles.

Pink is often seen as a feminine color (although that wasn't always the case). By wearing and promoting this particular color and shoe, both Perry and Clinton two powerful women in their respective careers are essentially giving femininity some amazing girl power.

This is further supported by Perry'sown personal hyper-feminine and tongue-in-cheek style which inspired her entire show collection. When someone puts on one of her shoes, Perry wants them to feel just as frilly yetempowered as she does when she dresses up.

According to the website:

"Katy Perry's vision, eye for detail and cheeky spirit give her footwear collection a distinct personality. Inspired by Katy's travels, humor and extraordinary imagination, the footwear reflect her whimsical approach towards life."

If you want to get Clinton's heels, or perhaps something a little different that stays true toPerry's style, definitely be sure to check out the collection.
