A Columbia University student criticized former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons decision-making class for lacking depth and authenticity, saying she came across more as a politician while reading passages from her book.

Clintons class Inside the Situation Room, which she co-teaches alongside Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo, exposes students to foreign policy topics and is supposed to instruct students about how to make decisions at a national level. Fox News reported that the student, Laalitya Acharya, found the former secretary of state unrelatable, according to a TikTok video posted in December 2023.

I would have really, really hoped that she would bring in some more unique insights rather than her almost basically reciting passages from her book word-for-word during lecture, Acharya said in the video.

She went on to say the class felt like a one-sided speaking engagement, with Clinton failing to bring fresh perspectives on the classs topic, which Acharya said wasnt already expressed in Clintons book. Her assessment of Clintons teaching performance as uninspiringcontradicts the course description.

[The class] employs insights from diverse academic fields including political psychology, domestic politics, and international relations and the direct experience of high-level principals in the room to understand the key factors which underpin a nations most crucial decisions, according to the description.

Though Acharya said she did not regret taking the class, she had hoped Clinton would have been more candid.

I would have really, really hoped that she would bring in some more unique insights and more vulnerability and discussion on why she made the decisions that she did, what her insights were, what her thoughts were, Acharya continued in the video.

Acharya is not the only student who has criticized Clinton for being a disingenuous professor. Yahoo News reported in December that another student, Cate Twining-Ward, who wrote a letter to HuffPost, was initially eager to take the course but described her experience as feeling like the audience on a late-night talk show.

I am also discouraged that neither Clinton nor the dean attended a single weekly discussion section, let alone read the assignments we poured hours of work into writing, Twining-Ward wrote.Instead, these duties were handed off to the teachers assigned to lead the discussion groups.

Hillary Clinton criticized by Columbia University students for lackluster class - Washington Examiner

OPINION:

Lets rewind back to October 2016. Hillary Clinton held a 12-point lead over then-candidate Donald Trump, according to traditional polling. Weeks from Election Day, she had cracked 50% support nationally in the polls, while Mr. Trump dwindled in the 30s.

No one in the political establishment expected Mr. Trump to put up much of a fight. Pundits were generally convinced he stood no chance, and the liberal media was ready to crown Mrs. Clinton.

Then Election Day came, and Hillary lost. The polls and the pundits were proved wrong again.

That the polls were dead wrong and Mrs. Clinton lost isnt as important, however, as why she lost. Within her own party, Mrs. Clinton could rely on plenty of rank-and-file zealots who were excited to elect the first female president. But she wasnt popular or likable beyond them.

Mrs. Clinton was so unpopular even among Democrats that a self-proclaimed democratic socialist from Vermont posed a credible challenge, and she was beset upon by lackluster support from within while relying too heavily on mercenary consultants. On the other side, voting against Hillary was an article of faith for Republicans. Mrs. Clinton lost because the middle the swing voters who ultimately decide elections just didnt like her.

Fast forward to January 2024, and if the polls are to be believed (they shouldnt be), Mr. Trump maintains a 30-point lead in the Republican primary cycle. Legacy polling sees Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley as little more than long shots. And Mr. Trump is neck and neck with President Biden in key battleground states again, according to traditional polls.

But should Republicans keep taking the polls at face value? Should we trust the polling that has Mr. Trump beating Mr. Biden in states like Michigan? Absolutely not.

If traditional polls have taught us anything in recent years, it is not to trust them or the paid consultants and fundraisers promoting polls, and the legacy media parroting them. The polls have been dead wrong since 2016, leading to Republican losses in 2018, 2020, 2022 and even 2023.

Traditional pollings failures start with the wrong, limited and arbitrarily defined data sets to decide whom to call, and it goes further off the rails by generally reaching and getting responses only from the most ardent political zealots those desperate to convince you (and themselves) their outsider views are right.

No amount of weighting applied by pollsters to fix their oversampling of extremes will work. It just makes the results more unreliable. Even polling averages dont help, since the average of all that junk is still junk.

The more accurate measure of U.S. public opinion is anti-polling, which monitors actual behavior of massively large populations over time what they say and what they do when theyre not aware of being monitored. Anti-polling uses observational analysis to strip away the biases and errors that make traditional polling unreliable.

After nearly two years of monitoring real data on the Trump, Biden and DeSantis dynamic, there is one constant: Mr. Trump cant win swing voters.

Mr. Trump is so unpopular even within his own party that his Napoleonic return is blunted by a serious challenger, and he is beset upon by lackluster support from within while relying too heavily on mercenary consultants. On the other side, voting against Mr. Trump remains an article of faith for Democrats. Above all, swing voters generally dont like Mr. Biden, but they loathe Mr. Trump.

Sound familiar?

Mr. Trump has experienced a constant series of post-indictment bumps among swing voters aggravated by the weaponization of government. They believe, rightly so, that he is being treated unfairly by the establishment. But the bumps always fade fast, and they are not enough to carry him through a general election.

Most swing voters oppose the Democrats legal chicanery and are generally negative on Bidenomics and this failing presidency. But that sentiment pales in intensity with their distaste for Mr. Trump. Opposing Biden Democrats is one thing; casting a vote for Donald Trump, however, is untenable.

Like Mrs. Clintons own loyalists, Trump voters dont represent a large enough voting bloc to cross the finish line. Third-party data from Eyesover confirms that, while there are almost always more social media posts about Mr. Trump, his supporters are more likely to post, and post more frequently.

Case in point: Since October, those making positive online posts about Mr. Trump have grown by 6%, while the volume of those posts has grown by 7%.

A separate eight-month study of nearly 20 million home IP addresses makes the Trump prison all too clear 17% to 22% of the electorate that doesnt grow, but from which his now-former supporters slowly get paroled.

So ask yourselves, Republicans: Do we want Mr. Trump to be our Hillary? Do we want to enter Election Day with the same supreme confidence, only to lose for the fifth time in a row?

Im sick of losing. It is time to start winning again, and this is coming from a two-time Trump voter.

Heading into the Iowa caucus, Donald Trump may appear to be the strongest Republican in the field, but that means nothing come November. By then, we could be looking at the next Hillary Clinton.

Is Donald Trump the GOP's Hillary Clinton? - Washington Times

Claim:

An "extreme snuff film" called "Frazzledrip" that supposedly shows Hillary Clinton and aide Huma Abedin torturing and killing a child to extract "adrenochrome" from its blood, actually exists.

Rating:

In late January 2024, the word "Frazzledrip" echoed across the internet after an X account known for sharing right-wing conspiracy theories posted the screenshot of a five-year-old article claiming that a "Hillary Clinton snuff film" was circulating "on the dark web":

(@dom_lucre/X)

The article, which first appeared on the website Your News Wire (later renamed News Punch) on April 15, 2018, reported that the "horrific" video, "code named Frazzledrip," was discovered on the hard drive of a laptop belonging to former Democratic congressman (and former husband of Clinton's assistant, Huma Abedin) Anthony Weiner, who was jailed in 2017 for texting obscene material to a minor):

An "extreme snuff film" featuring Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin raping and mutilating a prepubescent girl is circulating on the dark web, according to sources familiar with the material.

The video, code named Frazzledrip, has been circulating on the dark web since Monday, according to reliable sources who have viewed the material and confirm the content is "worse than any nightmare."

"The people who are coming back from viewing this tape are just not the same.".

Many people are unable to watch the video due to the horrific nature of the content, according to sources familiar with the tape.

In the video, they take a little girl and they fillet her face, according to reports, and then they take turns wearing the little girl's face like a mask. It is believed they were terrorizing the young girl, deliberately causing the child's body to release Adenochrome into her bloodstream before bleeding her out and drinking the blood during a Satanic ritual sacrifice.

Adrenochrome is an oxidation product of adrenaline (ephinephrine, norepinephrine) that is extracted from a living donor's adrenal gland. According to those familiar with the elites' drug of choice, the high is "intense" and "exotic".

The article's author, "Baxter Dmitry," rehashed elements of a conspiracy theory known as Pizzagate, which alleged without evidence that Clinton and other "deep state" conspirators ran a massive Satanic ped*ph*le ring out of a Washington, D.C. pizzeria called Comet Pizza. Your News Wire had granted uncritical credence to such theories in the past.

The raw material for the article was aggregated from social media posts of images allegedly extracted from the mysterious and supposedly impossible-for-ordinary-people-to-find "Frazzledrip" video. One of the earliest such posts appeared on Facebook during the first week of April 2018, and looked like this:

Similar posts were widely shared on Twitter:

It only took a few moments of investigating to determine that the sepia-toned images came not from incriminating footage hidden in some dank corner of the dark web, but rather from a maniacally inscrutable YouTube video uploaded (coincidentally or not) on April Fools Day 2018 (regrettably, that video has since been deleted).

We found, moreover, that the image described as showing Abedin wearing a mask made from the face of a mutilated child was actually taken from the website of a well-known Indian restaurant in Washington, D.C., called Hush Supper Club. The masked woman is the restaurant's proprietor, Geeta, who has been profiled in a number of national news venues.

Here is the photo in its original context:

Insofar as it's supposed to serve as evidence that Huma Abedin participated in a Satanic ritual involving the mutilation of a child, then, the video is demonstrably a hoax. However, that hasn't stopped social media users from trying to find other imagery in the video to support the "snuff film" thesis, though the results even with the addition of visual aids remain laughably incomprehensible:

In point of fact, there appeared to be some disagreement among conspiracy theorists as to whether the two-minute, now defunct YouTube clip and the much-ballyhooed "Frazzledrip" snuff film were even one and the same. Some claimed the YouTube video was only a teaser, and that somewhere a full-length version existed, which, if and when it were made public, would expose Hillary Clinton for the murderous satanic, adrenochrome-addicted, pedophilic ringleader she truly is. Others have admitted the possibility that "Frazzledrip" may never have actually existed, and it was a deep-state prank (or "psy-op") meant to make them look foolish.

Five years hence, "Frazzledrip" is still touted by some as a reality, even though not an iota of evidence to that effect has come to light since the "snuff film" was first whispered about in the dark recesses of QAnon.

Jeffrey Epstein was charged with sex trafficking in July 2019 (File)

The third batch of unsealed documents related to Jeffrey Epstein case were released yesterday. The documents have more deposition excerpts from his accusers Virginia Giuffre and Johanna Sjoberg.

The documents stem from a 2015 civil suit by Virginia Giuffre, who says she was one of the many young girls trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The newly released documents include excerpts of testimony from Epstein's close friends who helped him manage his sex trafficking business.

Giuffre and Sjoberg's additional deposition excerpts give more details of how Epstein and Maxwell lured teen girls into the trafficking business.

Hillary Clinton was one of the "thirteen specific witnesses" mentioned by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, new documents claim. The court filing, however, emphasizes that there are no accusations or allegations against the former first lady in this matter.

Former housekeeper Juan Alessi claimed that Prince Andrew's extended stays at Epstein's Palm Beach home, where he received daily massages

It is mentioned that former US President Donald Trump had come to Epstein's south Florida house. The former US President, however, "never" stayed at the home, said Juan Alessi.

The unsealed files linked to the 'Paedo Island' claim he would pay $200 for each for a young girl who was brought to him as part of the sex trafficking deal. Several minor girls reportedly accepted payments in return for giving him massages.

More than 180 documents including depositions, legal briefs and email chains from the lawsuit have been released since Wednesday.

Epstein was charged with sex trafficking in July 2019 but died by suicide in a Manhattan prison cell before he could stand trial. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

US prosecutors had earlier said Epstein used his wealth and power to sexually abuse dozens of young girls for years at his homes, paying them hundreds of dollars in cash for each encounter and hundreds more if they brought in more victims.

Nikki Haley hit back at ads from a pro-Ron DeSantis PAC pointing to Hillary Clinton as the former South Carolina governor's "inspiration" for getting into politics.

The 2024 GOP hopeful joined Fox News' Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum on Monday night for a town hall from Iowa and at one point she accused DeSantis of "lying" with the ads.

"Look, DeSantis is desperate. He's lying because he's losing," she said.

Haley and DeSantis have been battling it out for a distant second to Trump in most national polls.

The Fight Right Super PAC has ran ads bringing up past comments from Haley about Hillary Clinton, calling the former first lady and secretary of state the "reason" Haley entered politics.

"We know her as Crooked Hillary, but to Nikki Haley, shes her role model, the reason she ran for office," one ad says.

Baier and MacCallum asked Haley about the ads and her past comments on Clinton, and Haley did admit she chose to enter politics after sitting through a Hillary Clinton speech.

"I never said Hillary Clinton was an inspiration," she said. "What I said when I was talking to a group of women who were looking at running for office, I said the same thing about her that I said about Sarah Palin and that is when I was looking to run, everybody told me I couldn't do it. They said you're too young. You have small children. You should start at the school board level."

Haley added, "I have never agreed with a single thing Hillary Clinton has ever said and I said that too, but Ron forgot to put that in the ad."

Haley recalled seeing a Clinton speech when she was considering running for office.

"She ended it by saying for every reason they tell you not to run that's exactly the reason you should," Haley said about Clinton.

The ad takes quotes from Haley during a speech to Women & Politics Institute at American University in 2020 and does not include Haley criticizing Clinton.

Haley has recounted the Clinton story on multiple occasions, including in a 2012 New York Times interview.
