News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
CHAPPAQUA, NY—Meet your instructor! MasterClass has announced its latest expert tutor, Hillary Clinton, who will teach a series of lectures about how to lose presidential elections.
“We are honored to welcome Hillary Clinton to our world-class lineup of instructors,” said CEO David Rogier. “She is one of the world’s foremost in losing so thoroughly and embarrassingly, having lost her presidential races every time she’s tried. And now, you will learn how to lose your presidential runs every bit as catastrophically as she did!”
MasterClass has several more Hillary Clinton classes in the works, including:
- How To Collude With The Russians
- How To Murder Your Enemies
- How To Protect Powerful Sex Predators In Service Of Your Political Ambitions
- How To Chug An Entire Bottle Of Wine In 10 Seconds
Rogier hopes this will empower a new generation of young progressives to ruthlessly pursue power at all costs.
Go here to read the rest. Clinton figures it is her turn again. Biden isn’t long for this world outside of a nursing home and nobody wants Harris as President. I would say she is delusional, but these are delusional times on the Left, and when rats are cornered they will seek any avenue of escape, no matter how illusory.
For the first time ever, @HillaryClinton reads parts of her victory speech she hoped to deliver 5 years ago.

Gosh she is stupid.
You notice something? Her daughter is smart, but has no ambition. She’s wandered through starts at McKinsey-type consulting, public health, educational administration, and broadcasting. Then she got roped into working for her parents’ grift. (There appears, regrettably, to be a hypertrophied gift relationship between the Clintons and their adult daughter, manifest in the piece of real estate Chelsea and her husband occupy). Most women are like this. Their mind and their heart are at home and their wage and salaried work is for the extra income, full stop. They don’t have careers, they have jobs. Hellary’s never demonstrated any interest in such women, or even much awareness that they’re out there. Nor do common-and-garden career women interest her; their ambitions are circumscribed and commonly tapped out by the time they’re 35. Hellary has been relentlessly self-aggrandizing for decades. None of the other women who over the last century hhave been appended to our head of state were like this (with the highly qualified exception of Mrs. Harding).
“Most women are like this. Their mind and their heart are at home and their wage and salaried work is for the extra income, full stop. They don’t have careers, they have jobs…”
1. Boy oh boy – you be crucified if you actually said that aloud in a large corporation today….
2. Boy oh boy is it true.
The modern world takes great delight in forcing truths, that every honest person knows, to be whispered.

Oh, I might be. The thing is, dames employed as corporation executives are quite atypical in what they seek and how they order their lives. The ones among them who are more typical downshift. The late Felice Schwartz was raked over the coals by feminists in the media when she suggested a generation ago that corporate bureaucracies take account of the fact that women who are skilled in the present tense do not have an identical balance of interests and would benefit from different trajectories.
Looking at Hellary, it seems so pointless. Eleanor Roosevelt was quite an obtrusive figure for nearly 30 years. She and her husband failed badly in rearing children who were appropriately disposed to meet the demands of adult life (between them, the five Roosevelt children were married 19x). One doesn’t get the impression, though, that Eleanor Roosevelt’s business was promoting Eleanor Roosevelt or stomping on the enemies of Eleanor Roosevelt (though a certain vanity may have entered into her activities). The rest of them were along for the ride, and varied a great deal in how they thought and felt about that ride.
Any person can have ambition and chase a career. Man or woman. But…in a marriage it will always require one person, be it the husband or the wife, to put their ambitions aside to raise the children and look after the home. If the wife is the successful one in her chosen career, you bet your bottom dollar her husband has put his career ambitions aside to look after the children and the home. Case in point: Gail Kelly, who was CEO of one of Australia’s largest banks between 2008-15 was ranked by Forbes in 2010 as the 8th most powerful woman in business in the world. She also had 4 children- including giving birth to triplets. When interviewed in a podcast not long ago, she was asked how she became so successful? Her paediatrician husband quickly chimed in and stated frankly without mincing his words, that he put his career goals aside in order for her to achieve the career success she did. He took the primary responsibility of children and the home.
Gail Kelly sits on numerous Boards of businesses and gives talks to leaders in business about women breaking the glass ceiling and dishing out advice on how to achieve great career success as a woman. Yet she gives little insight into the practical support and the sacrifice her husband made in order for her to climb her way to the top. It’s true, the narrative of “women can do anything” will always be the preferred spin of our modern world.

To Hillary Clinton.
And what say you about the ambitions of sixty million children who never got a chance at life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness.
Collateral damage from warped thinking? Women can do anything alright. Advance their career’s at the expense of another’s life if need be.
Cheered on while they do it, I might add.
St. Teresa of Calcutta said it perfectly;
“The greatest poverty is to kill an individual so that you may live as you wish.”
For all repentant men and women who procured abortions, God help you in your pain. For politicians who continue to advance the destruction of our country by the license to kill innocent children…wake up.
Your running out of time.
It has been a long time since Psych 101 but I seem to remember something under the term “obsessive:. I recall also that treatment is a rather long process and some never completely deal with it.
I’ve never even seen a woman, any woman, working in certain dirty jobs (plumber, electric line worker, sanitation worker. Why is there never a cry to break those glass ceilings?
– it’s not about glass ceilings.

I worked for an employer which had not one man employed in the HR office the entire time I was there. I think there was, out of 900 employees, one solitary woman in a trade job. There was a greenhouse on the campus and she was in charge of it. You look at the BLS data and you see that few than 5% of those in trade jobs are female.
That’s to do with the fact women are not as physically strong as men. Trade jobs require lifting and strength. Builders daughter here 🙋♀️
Every job I had, And chute rural studios, had all women in HR. And they did a very poor job at it. IMHO.
:laughs: The ‘glass ceilings’ aren’t about actually being the first into the “high status” type positions, either.
David WS, not only do I have female relatives in those jobs (yeah it’s rare! Mostly they’re in areas of those jobs where being small is a benefit.) but I suspect you’ll be unsurprised to find out we also do agriculture and animal husbandry, two other places that these twits don’t scream for representation — plus, my grandmothers were Professionals Outside The Home (court stenographer and newspaper reporter) in the time these twits want to insist nobody did that, and my childhood doctor was a bush doctor chased out of several countries by the time my mom graduated high school, but she didn’t exist according to these nincompoops, either.
They only want women to be the kind of high social status cads that they value, and they don’t care who they have to erase to do it.
They’ve gotten to the place where they are actively erasing the women who did the stuff they claim to be aiming for, because it was done generations ago– pretending that folks who were somewhat rare didn’t exist at all. Saw someone claiming that there WERE no big, female authors– which is… wow. Anne McCaffrey? Erma Bombeck? THE grand Dame of crime, Agatha Christie? Nope! Oh, and JK Rowling is bad because she says girls are girls.
Same way they had to erase Nancy Green, the Pancake Queen, since a national celebrity black woman who became rich over a century ago is… not very PC.
(You’d recognize her. Aunt Jemima. Kind of like how you’d recognize Stephanie Courtney as Flo from Progressive, but more dignified.)
I’m halfway expecting them to try to erase Grace Hooper, next–“first woman in military computing” or some nonsense claim.
we also do agriculture and animal husbandry,
You find a lot of that in Central Illinois. Everyone works on the farms.
Everyone works on the farms.
Ding ding ding on the main thing– being a plumber is no big deal if you grew up in a farm house and dealing with a few hundred pigs. (Although you’re less likely to do house-calls alone, because shooting a customer is embarrassing.)
I figure the best filter would be “do they laugh at that letter from a Marine talking about how easy the USMC boot camp is, that’s signed ‘your loving daughter’? They probably at least know women who do these things no woman does.” Because they’ve actually got a variety of acquaintances from a bunch of backgrounds. (Hard to avoid when you’ve got a relatively small number of people in an area.)
Better to laugh than to scream at these upper to upper middle class, poorly educated, unbearably provincial city kids demanding everyone else bow to their delusions.
…. although screaming may be appropriate at times…. (not sure how much I’m joking, there)
My grandparents had 4 daughters, then a son as their youngest. So at the time, my mom and her sisters ALL worked at milking the cattle and other chores as needed.
I believe they were also all glad to get other jobs when they were older. 😉 (the eldest continued being a farm wife for many years before getting some clerical work when she was older)
Don’t forget Anne Rice (for better or worse) who just recently passed away.
Or Mary Shelly.

Yeah, someone tried the “there has never been a famous horror writer” thing on one of the ladies who writes horror, to try to draft her to support someone or other.
That gal did the blink, stare, “Mary Shelly?” response before she could think better. 😀
The media never remembers that Magaret Chase Smith was a female senator from Maine.. Maybe it’s because she was a Republican. She also served in the House of Representatives.
Yep Cam she was elected to the Senate in 1949 and she was the seventh woman to serve in the Senate. The past is a shut door for people who never bother to learn about it.
