Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has been showing up — at conferences, on streaming services, on Twitter, and now in chatter over whether her party’s problems create an opening for another White House bid. But not everyone is convinced it’s her moment.

Clinton, despite a long-fostered relationship of mutual distrust with the media, has made numerous recent appearances, some stoking more attention than others.

Where Clinton garnered significant recent attention was the release of a clip of her reading the victory speech she had prepared to give on election night in 2016.

On the MasterClass streaming site, Clinton read aloud the victory speech she would have delivered had she defeated Republican nominee Donald Trump. Today previewed the excerpt, paired with an hourlong sit-down with NBC’s Willie Geist.

“There’s no appetite. None. Zero. I love her to death, but no,” a former swing state Democratic Party chair, and Clinton surrogate in 2008, said. “You’ve got to win. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed.”

Numerous former Clinton backers burst out laughing at the prospect of her return to the electoral fray.

Climate policies promoted and imposed by Team Biden will be lethal for people and planet.

They are based on junk science, headline-grabbing scare stories, and computer climate models that create far-fetched “scenarios” claiming fossil fuel use will cause Earth to warm by 4 degrees C (7 F) over the next 80 years, while a warming Arctic will bring colder winters.

Those dire predictions are used to justify more taxpayer-funded “research,” like a recent Columbia University “mortality cost of carbon” study that says 83 million people (the population of Germany) “could be killed” this century by those rising planetary temperatures. Read Full Story

Top Republican investigators demanded answers from the Biden administration about how taxpayer money meant to go to unemployed Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic has been stolen by Chinese or Russian syndicates.

The probe, announced by Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, and Rep. C.
