Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton shared a video to promote her upcoming "Inside the Situation Room" class at Columbia University.

Columbia University published a press release on Wednesday promoting the new class.

"In an era increasingly defined by geopolitical competition, it is more important than ever for future policymakers to understand why and how foreign policy decisions are made," the press release stated.

It went on to describe the "Inside the Situation Room," course as being "co-taught by Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo." The course will reportedly analyze "a range of case studies and examine decision-making in a variety of historical and contemporary contexts, from the search for Osama bin Laden, to the "red line" in Syria, to negotiating with Iran.

Clinton tweeted a video of herself performing in a skit, where the video joked that numerous Americans were excited she is "running again."

Hillary responds in the filmed skit by saying, "Well I sure am, Keren, I just got here early for the class were teaching together on foreign policy decision making."

"Classes dont start until September," Yarhi-Milo replied.

"Yeah, but I wanted to be prepared, Keren," Clinton said. "You know, when it comes to crisis situations youve always got to be prepared."

"Prepared? I think youre more prepared than anyone to teach this course," Yarhi-Milo replies as they engage in performative conversation pretending to name the course and decide how it will be taught.

Clinton then departs by saying, "If youll excuse me, Keren, I have got to run."

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald mocked the video and criticized Clintons impact on American foreign policy.

"The US official who has urged more wars than anyone over the last 3 decades with the possible exception of John Bolton - including Iraq, Libya, Syria, and now Ukraine - is teaching Columbia students a class called Foreign-Policy Decision-Making," he wrote. "And boy they're excited!"

He followed by tweeting a video of Hillary Clinton commenting "We Came. We saw. He died," after Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi was murdered.

"Video of the moment Hillary Clinton learned -- as a result of the war she insisted Obama join -- that Muammar Gaddafi had been killed by a street mob (after Obama vowed it wasn't a regime-change war)," he wrote. "This left behind a decade of slavery, ISIS and anarchy in Libya. Anyway..."

Conservative influencer Gina Bella responded to the video by slamming Clinton as a "dirty warmonger."

March 18, 2023: Former US President Bill Clinton at The Wheeltapper Pub in New York City.Debbie McGoldrick, Irish Voice

St. Patricks Day celebrations spilled into March 18 for Bill Clinton, who was the guest of honor at a gathering of Irish Americans hosted by his longtime friend, hotelier John Fitzpatrick, on Saturday evening, March 18 in New York.

The Wheeltapper traditional Irish pub at the Fitzpatrick Grand Central Hotel was the setting for the party, and the 42nd president spoke fondly about his peacemaking efforts in Northern Ireland which resulted in the signing of the Good Friday Agreement 25 years ago.

Clinton plans on traveling to the North next month with Hillary Clinton, the former first lady, New York senator, and secretary of state who is presently the chancellor of Queens University Belfast.

It was my great good fortune when George Mitchell ended his tenure as chancellorthey asked Hillary to be the next chancellor. So I get to go and take orders from her for three days, something Im very good at, having had a lot of practice, Clinton joked during his brief remarks before the 50 or so guests who included "CNN This Morning" co-anchor Kaitlan Collins.

Wearing a green tie given to him many years ago by the late Irish civil rights leader Paul ODwyer, Clinton said that he wanted to be the first to say that sometimes I think I get too much credit for something that I worked my heart out for. There were so many of us trying to do this. And I regret that John Hume and Martin McGuinness and David Trimble and my great friend Seamus Heaney wont be here to celebrate the 25th anniversary.

I think its worth pointing out that this peace has endured in spite of a lot of political shenanigans over the years, in spite of the genuine disagreements about the unresolved issues which are there, and in spite of the government going down too many times as we all wrestle with what to do in the aftermath of Brexit, the former president continued.

The Windsor Framework, a plan to deal with the Northern Ireland border in the aftermath of Brexit, should be agreed to by all sides so that devolved government can resume in the North, Clinton said.

I realize there are still some people against it but I dont understand why given the fact I think its the best deal you can get. We know that there are very few perfect solutions in politics, there are very few permanent victoriesbut the peace in Ireland seems to be a permanent victory. No one really wants to go back to the way it was, he added.

Making peace is harder than people know and often fails, said Clinton. The Irish peace process gave him a thousand times more out of being involvedthan whatever good I did. It was one of the great joys of my life and no matter how long I live, it will remain one of the deepest sources of gratitude.

Especially for all the friends I made, some of whom give me free drinks, he joked as Fitzpatrick handed Clinton a freshly poured pint of Guinness.

If your stomach can handle it without producing ulcers, lets return to the 2016 Republican National Convention, what seems to be the birthplace of lock her up, the chant calling for Hillary Clinton to go to jail for her crime of sending emails on the wrong server (and also for being a woman who ran for president). MAGA Republicans subjected the general public to lock her up for yearsbut now they want to back off a bit.

Fox News host Jesse Watters, in particular, wants you to forget that this chant was specifically calling for the imprisonment of a political opponent. On Tuesday, Watters insisted that the years of chanting lock her up was a joke because Clinton was never actually arrested. The lock her up was a joke. Trump never indicted Crooked, Watters told his audience. [Editors note: To those still suffering from MAGA brainworms, Crooked means Clinton.] But theyre going after him hard.

They meaning the multiple jurisdictions across the country where Trump faces charges, but most pressingly, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Trump himself said hell be arrested on Tuesday in New York, but that came and went. The Manhattan grand jury will not hear evidence against Trump on Wednesday but is on standby for Thursday, which means charges against him may come by the end of the week. The case stems from evidence that Trump reimbursed his then-lawyer/fixer Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence near the end of the 2016 election and tried to keep both payments out of his accounting services.

Other officials who could (in theory) lock up Trump are Georgia officials who are investigating that pesky phone call where Trump asked officials tofind him 11,780 votes; or the special counsel whose office is investigating his repeated mishandling of classified documents as well as the former presidents role in the insurrection at the Capitol after he lost the 2020 election.

But the barrage of investigations is, of course, merely proof of an anti-Trump conspiracy, according to Watters. They never cared what Trump was arrested for. They just want him behind bars. They arent prosecuting a crime; theyre prosecuting a person, Watters said on Tuesday night while a graphic of Donald Trump overlaid with Dems Wish List is displayed next to the anchor.

With all that mind, Watters seems to think that since locking Trump up is an actual possibility now, the MAGA rallying cry of lock her up should be seen as a joke! The hypocrisy is thicker than a diner milkshake.

Lock her up hasnt only applied to Clinton. Because a tenet of MAGAism is hatred of women, the chant has included Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) in 2018; Clinton again just a day later; and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) in 2020. But the chant also applies to President Joe Biden and his bumbling son Hunter. Youre telling me theyve been joking this whole time as they continually move their only coherent political messagejail your enemiesfrom target to target? Suuuuuure.

This wasnt a one-off, either. Watters has been on this all week. On The Five on Monday, Watters said: They better not put my president in prison. He represents 74 million Americans, and if hes the nominee, youre putting 74 million votes in prison.

When a woman on the panel expressed skepticism, Watters reacted by calling it a bookkeeping charge, adding: He put a payment to a woman in the legal column. That was in the wrong column? Hillary put the dossier in the same column and she got a fine.

Complaining that putting a politician in prison is akin to putting all their votes in prison is so stupid I feel I dont even need to respond to it, but since youve gotten this far, I will: We live in a country where people go to prison for just about anything! Thats not necessarily good, but I promise you that your political speech will not be harmed because one (1) man might go to prison.

Because remember: Trump hasnt even been arrested yet! So until hes actually (if ever) locked up, it would be a good time to take a step back and look at the mess your party created. And maybe start brainstorming a new chant.

The underground feminist voting group that urged Hillary Clinton supporters to storm the 2016 polls in pantsuits abruptly announced it is disbanding Thursday, leaving its 2.8 million supporters blindsided.

Pantsuit Nation, a Facebook-born movement supporting the first female Democratic presidential nominee, told its online community it would be defunct before the end of the weekend, The Post has learned.

The group made headlines during the 2016 election for empowering Clinton lovers to pull on a power suit to cast their vote.

I stepped away from my day-to-day involvement in this community last year, but I have stayed here reading your stories, appreciating what you have built and maintained against all odds, founder Libby Chamberlain wrote in a post breaking the news to the groups millions of members.

Earlier today, the organization that now manages the group announced that Pantsuit Nation will be shut down within the next two days.

Supermajority a feminist political organization took over Pantsuit Nation in 2019, three years after Chamberlain had created the members-only Facebook group.

At its height, the Pantsuit group flaunted 4 million followers, which has since dwindled to a modest 2.8 million.

The shrinking membership could be to blame for the sudden dismantling Supermajoritys interim executive director said they were dropping the Facebook page in order to focus on other avenues to increase female voter turnout.

Over the past several weeks and months, we have taken stock of our work, particularly focusing on our success in 2022, and developed a strategic approach to best position Supermajority to build womens political power in 2023, Taylor Saditch told the group in a statement.

The announcement comes less than six months after Supermajority touted major success at the 2022 midterms. The group took credit for helping to usher in a record number of women voter registrations, a November press release shows.

The exact reason for abandoning the page is unknown even the moderators were left in the dark until the announcement was made.

I do not have the details as of why? wrote moderator Itale Watie. As all of us moderators logged on and found out today that we were being let go.tomorrow.

None of us could ever imagine our exit like this, when we worked so hard to build a platform of truth and transparency. I know yall (sic)want answers but as it is, none of us have them and we are doing our best to receive answers from the powers that be.

Supermajority promised users it would preserve the seven-year-old group but would be pausing new posts, comments and reactions on the page starting March 18.

But the organization has allegedly already made moves to silence its outraged audience.

Several users called out Supermajority employees for allegedly deleting posts speaking out against the decision posts that were only allowed onto the site after approval by moderators they appointed and refusing to approve more than 400 member-made posts to the feed.

Many questioned why Supermajority couldnt hand the reigns over to the millions of followers so the members who have carved deep friendships with one another over the years via the page could continue to enjoy the online community.

This community has been pivotal in amplifying voices that I would have never heard elsewhere, one member wrote. To hear that Supermajority is shuttering the group not only isnt in keeping with the principles they espouse but is yet another occasion when marginalized voices are once again silenced.

They drop Pantsuit Nation, I drop Supermajority, a member said. I joined PN community very early on and it saved my sanity after Trump was elected. I am not interested in Supermajority, which has always struck me as more of a lobbying group than a community.

Members complained Supermajority was ignoring their pleas and turned to the organizations main Facebook page which boasts less than a third of Pantsuit Nations followers to unleash their ire.

Supermajority, Chamberlain and several group moderators did not immediately respond to The Posts request for the comment.

Hillary Clinton-loving Facebook group Pantsuit Nation abruptly disbands, enraging members - New York Post

Two weeks before podcaster Anna Stoecklein was set to interview Cherie Blair, international human rights lawyer and wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, she made a bold request.

Stoecklein asked if Blair would text one of her close friends to see if she would do the interview along with her.

The gamble paid off: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would be joining Blair on Stoeckleins podcast, The Story of Woman.

Stoecklein had never done an in-person interview before. Her podcast about womens long march to equality, how we got here and what still needs to be changed was barely a year old with fewer than a hundred subscribers on YouTube. So, how did this former ER nurse from St. Charles nab an exclusive interview with two of the worlds most influential women?

Stoecklein, 32, has been remaking her own life in recent years. She was born and raised in St. Charles, graduated with a nursing degree from the University of West Florida, came back to work in St. Louis and, within a year, moved to New York City with her boyfriend. They married a year later.

She worked as an ER nurse in Manhattan for a few years overworked and burned out until she realized her job had become untenable and dangerous.

I spent all my days off Googling nonclinical nursing jobs, she said. She landed a position in the medical device sales industry. A few years later, her husband was offered a job opportunity in London, and the couple jumped at the chance to live abroad. Stoecklein found another position in medical device sales, then moved to a health tech startup.

During the pandemic, she started reading nonfiction books centered around gender and feminism. She said she had never really thought about how the world was designed by and for men.

It was the first time I was exposed to some of these ideas, she said. Reading these types of books really blew my mind.

This new knowledge gave her the words to understand her own experiences and ideas. She felt compelled to share what she was learning with others. Around the same time, she was realizing that her marriage was no longer working, despite the couple still loving and supporting each other. She quit her job to start her podcast, moved out a few months later and took on freelancing work to pay the bills.

When something doesnt feel right, I feel like I have to change, even when I dont know exactly where Im going, she said.

But wasnt it daunting to tackle so much life-altering change at once?

My parents instilled in me a belief and confidence in myself, she said. They taught her that she could figure things out on her own. She credits that with her ability to adapt and thrive in the midst of uncertainty.

So when her podcast caught the ear of a friend who worked at Blairs foundation, Stoecklein put together a proposal for an interview and persisted for months to lock it down.

Once she nabbed her high-profile guests, she reread their autobiographies, watched Clintons documentary and prepared for the interview around the clock. The day of the interview, she was full of emotions.

I felt the enormity of the weight of history in the room, she said. Clintons warmth and kindness put her immediately at ease. The conversation between Blair and Clinton flowed like banter between good friends.

They had this incredibly beautiful energy, Stoecklein said.

She used the moment to launch a series of woman changemakers on her show. In addition to world leaders, shes interviewed Nobel Laureate and Yemeni journalist Tawakkol Karman, Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn, and several bestselling authors, CEOs and global activists.

Stoeckleins passion for her work is evident when she talks about her own journey.

Shes living proof that big ideas can transform lives.
