Trump Continues to Live Rent-Free In Hillary Clinton’s Deranged Head
Two-time presidential loser Hillary Clinton just can’t seem to get Donald Trump off her mind and out of her mouth.
Appearing on Kara Swisher’s “Pivot” podcast, the woman who still hasn’t come to terms with 2016 offered her advice for the next Democratic president. Her core recommendation was to rid the gubbermint of all of Trump’s appointees and hires: “Get rid of all the holdovers. Do not let anybody hang around in some small office somewhere who can literally subvert your program and you don’t even know the person is there.”
Read that statement carefully. This is Hillary Clinton — the woman who spent years telling America that the “deep state” was a paranoid right-wing fantasy, that career civil servants were nonpartisan professionals whose institutional knowledge must be respected, and that Trump’s efforts to bring the executive branch under presidential control were a grave threat to democracy — advising Democrats to conduct a systematic purge of any federal employee they suspect of loyalty to Trump.
The self-awareness required to say both things would be remarkable if it existed. It doesn’t.
Clinton went further, warning that Trump would “try to move” people from political positions into the civil service to protect them from future purges — and advising Democrats to hunt those people down. “People are going to have to be really searching,” she said, “to make sure they’re not going to be literally subverted from within the government.”
WATCH:
This is a description of exactly what the left insisted didn’t exist. The CIA whistleblower James Erdman described career officials who decided they were “the adults in the room” — entitled to decide which presidential directives were legitimate and which could be quietly undermined. FBI officials who ran self-described “shadow governments” to hide intelligence from the White House. NSA personnel who altered Presidential Daily Briefings to conceal findings that inconvenienced the political narrative. Nikki Floris, in her own words, describing her operation at the FBI.
Clinton is telling the next Democratic president to build a bigger, more deliberate, more organized version of that. And to purge anyone who might replicate what Trump is doing to the existing one.
The hypocrisy is layered and total. Democrats attacked Schedule F — Trump’s executive order making it easier to remove civil servants who obstruct presidential directives — as an assault on the nonpartisan professional workforce. Clinton is now advising the next Democratic president to conduct a political loyalty test across the entire federal workforce and remove anyone who fails.
It is the deep state as explicit Democratic Party policy, articulated openly on a podcast, by the woman who lost to the man who has spent two years trying to expose it.
The shadow government that CIA whistleblower Erdman described. The burn bags. The altered PDBs. The FBI’s “shadow government” email. The Oxferd Comma document. The coordinated suppression of Chinese election interference intelligence.
Hillary Clinton just told you that if Democrats get back in power, they’ll build all of that — on purpose, with institutional backing, and without the pretense of nonpartisanship.
Reason number one billion why they should never be given power again.
BREAKING: Dolly Parton’s Cause Of Death Revealed: ‘Brief Battle’
Dolly Parton’s death came after a brief battle with cancer, her representatives revealed Tuesday.
The country music legend died Aug. 25 at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville. She was 80.
Parton had been admitted to the cancer center Friday, four days before her death. Her representatives confirmed the cancer diagnosis in a statement to PEOPLE but did not disclose what type she had.
“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched. Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand,” the statement read.
“Whether it be the hundreds of millions of books donated through her invaluable Imagination Library or funding research that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used around the world, Dolly’s unconditional love for all people was the guiding force for her lasting impact. After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones,” the statement concluded.
The “Jolene” singer had also been dealing with kidney and autoimmune issues before her death, PEOPLE previously reported.
Just days earlier, Dolly Parton opened up about her declining health and acknowledged that she had put off addressing some medical issues while caring for her husband, Carl.
“As I’ve shared in video messages throughout the past year, I am dealing with some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over [my husband] Carl. You know, this isn’t the first time I’ve had to manage something like this. Back in the early ’80s, I was down for several months with female issues, and I was struggling with my weight at the time too, so it’s not like I haven’t been through hard times with my health,” Parton told PEOPLE.
Her nephew, Bryan Seaver, announced her death in an Instagram video Tuesday on behalf of the Parton and Owens family.
“My name is Bryan Seaver, son of Cassie Parton, and I’m representing the Parton and Owens family today announcing the passing of my aunt, Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean, Sister, Sis and Granny to one generation and Gigi to the next,” he says in the video.
Seaver, who served as Parton’s head of security for more than two decades, said she had asked him years earlier to deliver the announcement.
“This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality,” he continued. “As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven’t truly felt it until now.”
Seaver said the moment brought immense pride and heartbreak, but he took comfort in his faith that Parton had been reunited with Carl and other loved ones.
Seaver added: “It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness. But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents and countless othe
Shocking 'truth' behind Prince Harry's decision to quit major role
Prince Harry should have "resigned in disgrace" from the board of a controversial African wildlife charity, a commentator says. James Walker makes the bombshell remark in Wednesday's episode of this publication's podcast, Daily Expresso.
He and the show's host, JJ Anisiobi, delve into the Duke of Sussex's dramatic decision to step down from African Parks. James, commenting on the controversy, said: "When you hear about this stuff and how long it's been going on for, you should be resigning in disgrace. [Harry] should be saying: 'I'm not touching that with a barge pole. That is a failed entity. We're going nowhere near it'.
"But no. He's still saying he's going to 'support their mission'. And again this Caroline Pearce, executive director of Survival International, goes on to say: 'His departure doesn't undo that record'.
"She alleged that African Parks was aware of the abuses for years, but it was only after Survival complained to Harry that the charity finally commissioned an investigation."
James added: "Well, she's got a point."
It emerged on Monday (August 24) that Harry was no longer a board member of the wildlife charity.
The conservation organisation has admitted that human rights abuses were committed by its rangers against members of the semi-nomadic Baka group in Congo-Brazzaville.
African Parks has said since that it has improved its safeguarding processes both in the Odzala-Kokoua National Park and institutionally.
Its admission followed an independent human rights investigation into allegations guards managed and paid by the charity had beaten, raped and tortured indigenous people in Odzala-Kokoua National Park.
Harry was president of the charity for six years before he became a member of its board of directors in 2023.
A spokesman for the Duke said he remains an active and avid supporter of African Parks. He added: "The Duke is proud of his 10 years with African Parks and fully supports the ongoing strengthening of its board.
"His commitment to conservation in Africa continues and he remains a supporter of African Parks’ mission."
Human rights organisation, Survival International, said it had been calling on Harry to step down from African Parks for years.
The group's director, Caroline Pearce, said in a statement: "It’s outrageous that for 10 years Prince Harry has served African Parks while the organisation has been responsible for abuse and violence against Indigenous people.
"His departure doesn't undo that record — African Parks itself must now be held accountable, and must abandon this model of fortress conservation for good."
Survival International said indigenous peoples know how best to manage their land and the idea outsiders know better is racist and colonial.
