Hillary Clinton trolls Trump after court refuses to reinstate immigration ban – Washington Examiner

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton trolled President Trump after a federal appeals court unanimously ruled Thursday against reinstating his controversial immigration ban.

The three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decided to keep in place the temporary restraining order that stopped Trump's ban, which suspended immigration from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days. It halted the country's refugee resettlement program for 120 days and banned Syrian refugees from the U.S. indefinitely.

"We hold that the government has not shown a likelihood of success on the merits of its appeal, nor has it shown that failure to enter a stay would cause irreparable injury, and we therefore deny its emergency motion for a stay," the court wrote.

Hillary Clinton: ‘I Remain Convinced That The Future Is …

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CALIF. Hillary Clinton may have lost her presidential bid, but she has not stopped being a present and vocal advocate for women and girls.

In a new video, which opened the MAKERS Conferencein Rancho Palos Verdes, California on Monday night, Clinton told a room full of women: Despite all the challenges we face, I remain convinced that, yes, the future is female.

The former secretary of state went on to praise the Womens Marchas proof of that future, speaking about the power the D.C. march and its sister marches had to spur millions of people many of whom had never marched before to action.

Just look at the amazing energy we saw last month as women organized a march that galvanized millions of people all over our country and across the world, Clinton said. We need strong women to step up and speak out. We need you to dare greatly and lead boldly. So please, set an example for every woman and girl out there whos worried about what the future holds and wonders whether our rights opportunities and values will endure.

Clinton wrapped up her video with a reminder to all women: Remember, you are the heroes and history makers, the glass ceiling breakers of the future.

"Nevertheless, she persisted" is basically the story of Hillary Clinton's life. And now that it's the progressive resistance's new favorite slogan, Clinton herself has endorsed the message.

In a viral tweet Wednesday afternoon, Clinton quoted those powerful words, which Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell used on Tuesday to rebuke Elizabeth Warren. The Massachusetts senator was speaking out against Jeff Sessions, President Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, on the Senate floor when McConnell invoked a rarely used rule to silence her.

"She was warned. She was given an explanation," McConnell said. "Nevertheless, she persisted.

Overnight, those last three words became the left's new rallying cry. It didn't take long for Clinton to get in on the action.

Clinton has been careful with how she's chosen to criticize Trump's agenda. In her concession speech, she urged her supporters to give him a "chance to lead," and attended his inauguration with her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Though she tweeted implicitly about the president's controversial executive order saying "this is not who we are" her latest tweet capitalizes on the fresh momentum of the resistance to Trump.

The touching letter Hillary Clinton sent this lifelong Republican protesting Donald Trump – Washington Post

Joanne Barr, 54, has never wanted attention. She has only everwanted a quiet life, and for a long time, what she had in Williamsport, a mountainous town in Central Pennsylvania, was just that. She never thought there would be a time when people would know her story. But then again, she never thought Donald Trump would be president, and when that happened, everything changed.

Last month, Barr, a lifelong Republican, went to the Womens March on Washington, allowed The Washington Post to accompany herand returned to Williamsport, where she found a mailbox that was soon filling with letters from all over the country and world. So much mail, she said. And for someone who doesnt want to be in the spotlight. Its been overwhelming, but I didnt realize there were so many wonderful, nice people.

[Shes 54, white, rural and a lifelong Republican. Why is she protesting Donald Trump?]

One day late last month, she went to the mailbox again and collected more letters, one of which bore a New York address. Thinking it was just another letter like the others, she absent-mindedly opened it. Then she saw the letterhead: Hillary Rodham Clinton.

While I know that we are disappointed and heartbroken by the outcome of the election, I am heartened to know that the experience of this campaign has been empowering for you, the letter read. Never forget that you are powerful and valuable, and that one person can make a difference.

Clinton has offered words of encouragement via Twitter to her supporters and on Monday recordeda surprise video for a conference focusing on womens leadership, but otherwise has kept a fairly low profile since her November loss.

Barr took the letter into a hardware store she manages, framed the photo, and hungit in her house, someplace where I can look at it every morning to give me the inspiration I need to keep on fighting for what I feel is right, she said. Its only one of many ways in which she says the election has emboldened her. She has joined the League of Womens Voters, and, for the first time on Monday night,attended a meeting for the Lycoming County Progressives.

Hundreds of thousands of activists descended on downtown Washington for a rally and march, the day after President Donald Trump took office. The sheer number of attendees caused confusion and complicated logistics. (Sarah Parnass/The Washington Post)

She went by herself.

It was pretty scary at first, she said. But she soon felt at ease.

We just talked about different issues and trying to see what we can do, she said. Its nice to talk to people with the same ideas that I have.

Hillary Clinton Spearheads War On Men – Daily Caller

5470197

In a new video produced ahead of the 2017 Makers Conference an invitation-only feminist leadership retreat held in California Hillary Clinton boosted the feminist movement with a rallying call for girls and women to be the glass-ceiling breakers of the future.

Despite all the challenges we face, I remain convinced that yes, the future is female, Clinton said. Just look at the amazing energy we saw last month as women organised a march that galvanised millions of people all over our country and across the world.

So why cant the future be male? Answer: because todays men are under a full frontal assault by feminists like Clinton who are doing their utmost to erase the concept of masculinity and maleness.

When male babies grow into little boys, they cannot act like boys, dress like boys or feel like boys because feminists have stamped the very concept of masculinity with the word toxic and misogynistic all over it. Because of the conditioning they grow up with in the public education system and the dinosaur media, it is little wonder that boys grow up to be so effeminate, emasculated and disempowered. This misandrous assault is beyond nauseating to say the least.

The late Phyllis Schlafly, the famous anti-feminist campaigner said: If man is targeted as the enemy, and the ultimate goal of womens liberation is independence from men and the avoidance of pregnancy and its consequences, then lesbianism is logically the highest form in the ritual of womens liberation.

Quite ironically the future wont be enduringly female, because males are required to produce babies (regardless whether naturally or through IVF) and if feminists are lesbians (which many of the militant ones are), then baby production is out of the picture totally.

Schlafly wrote: There is a war on men, and [feminists] are very open about it. They dont conceal it; they brag about it. You read all of their material theyre always saying they want to abolish the patriarchy. They said that husbands are not necessary in a marriage, theyre not necessary in raising children, she said.

Yet another irony is that genuinely oppressive patriarchy really only exists in countries that practice fundamental Islam. Its not a major problem in the West. The Koran commands wife-beating, female genital mutilation and honour killings as part of standard Islamic practice. To the intelligent individual, this is inarguably oppressive but to the feminist, criticising a hateful ideology such as Islam is racist and xenophobic. Yet they want to protest a non-existent oppressive patriarchy in the West. Go figure

Instead of pushing for jobs to be filled based on experience, knowledge and aptitude, female job applicants are always given priority whether they have the necessary skills or not as a bold and defiant statement to men that women can do it. You know, #GirlPower

Lets not forget that Hillary campaigned for the presidency using the non-sensical line vote for me because Im a woman a totally irrelevant credential for the job.

As for wages, equal wages should be dished out to those who can produce equal work. Quite simple, really.

Perhaps the cutting edge of the feminist goal is the push for women in military combat to force us into an androgynous society. Schlafly once again has some wise insight: The purpose of our military is to field the finest troops possible to defend our nation and win wars. The goal of feminists however, is to impose a mindless equality, regardless of how many people it hurts. She continues, every country that has experimented with women in actual combat has abandoned the idea, and the notion that Israel uses women in combat is a feminist myth.

Schlafly said the feminist movement taught women to see themselves as victims of an oppressive patriarchy. Self-imposed victimhood is not a recipe for happiness. These feminists create their own problems which ultimately stems from their discontent of the wonderful and valuable roles that God has designated them. Women should see those roles as not somehow oppressive or demeaning, but valuable, beautiful ways to complement their male counterparts.

To quote Schlafly one last time, Feminism has nothing at all to do with being feminine. Feminine means accentuating the womanly attributes that make women deliciously different from men. The feminine woman enjoys her right to be a woman. She has a positive outlook on life. She knows she is a person with her own identity and that she can seek fulfilment in the career of her choice, including that of traditional wife and mother.
