Hillary Clinton’s Latest Book is Another Miserable Failure
Hillary Clinton’s Latest Book is Another Miserable Failure
Here’s the book Hillary really needs to write.
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
What Happened, Hillary’s compendium of excuses and conspiracy theories about losing the election, opened with 100,000 in hardcover sales. Two years later, her latest book racked up a 30,000 debut.
And it got worse from there.
The Book of Gutsy Women, a collection of feminist stories by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton about role models like eco-brat Greta Thunberg, Rachel Carson, and Bella Abzug, remembered respectively for helping revive malaria and ugly hats, is the #1 bestseller in Women’s Studies on Amazon.
That’s about all it has going for it.
Even in its debut, the lazy cash-in fell behind the latest Trump conspiracy tract, Rachel Maddow’s Blowout: Corrupted Democracy, Rogue State Russia, and the Richest, Most Destructive Industry on Earth. Even Maddow’s title sounds like something a crazy homeless man might yell at you while waving a cup of his own urine, so it obviously sold more than twice as many copies as Hillary’s feminist tract.
Hillary might have taken a lesson from What Happened, which outsold her own memoirs, that her ex-base is a lot more interested in conspiracy theories about Republicans than feminist heroines. Lefties might claim that they want to read about inspiring women, but they really want to flip through a spittle-flecked rant written on tin-foil paper which blames all their problems on a vast-right wing conspiracy.
How could Hillary, who has been living that way for a generation, not pick up on the obvious?
Only the die-hard Hillaryites, who wear matching pantsuits to her book tours, and eagerly shell out hard cash for the opportunity to smell her chardonnay breath, showed up on Day 1. And there was no Day 2.
The Book of Gutsy Women debuted at No. 3 in NPD's BookScan list which gathers data from thousands of booksellers. By next week, it was down to No. 10, meanwhile Maddow's explanation of how the space aliens conspired with the Russians to elect Trump so he could let them construct a base in Wisconsin and perform experiments on local cows continued to reign over the bestseller list.
To add insult to injury, Hillary didn't just fall below Maddow, but also below Gregg Jarrett's latest book on Spygate, Witch Hunt: The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History, and Bill O'Reilly's The United States of Trump: How the President Really Sees America. Unlike Hillary, O’Reilly’s book had a much smoother descent because the word of mouth was better than on Gutsy Women.
The news wasn’t much better from the New York Times, whose best seller list is notorious for being rigged to favor its favorites. Gutsy Women debuted at No. 2, then crashed down No. 8 and then No. 13. The Los Angeles Times list saw Gutsy Women come in at No. 5, crash down to No. 14, and then disappear like a Maddow UFO flying over Moscow with a load of Wisconsin ballots.
Even Chelsea Clinton, who is to literature what Alvin and the Chipmunks is to opera, managed to score No. 1 New York Times bestsellers with her She Persisted collection, whose premise, stories about feminist heroines, is suspiciously similar to Gutsy Women, but couldn’t do it with her mother on board.
Ponder this.
Instead of Bill and Hillary creating a career for Chelsea based on nepotism, Hillary is actually weighing Chelsea down. In 2017, Chelsea Clinton's She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World was a No. 1 New York Times bestseller. Take that same formula, add Hillary, and sales actually go down.
The next time Hillary wants to co-write a book with Chelsea, the former Pets.com sock puppet interviewer will have to hold an uncomfortable conversation about cutting her mother loose.
It’s either that or watch Hillary kill her new hobby of writing listicle books like she killed pantsuits, compulsive lying, and Vince Foster. Bill Clinton is already remembered, not as a two-term president, but as the other half of an unlikable two-time failed presidential candidate.
After wrecking Bill’s legacy, Hillary can finish the job by wrecking her daughter’s writing career.
Fast forward to the end of October and Gutsy Women had been buried by everything from two cookbooks, Food: What the Heck Should I Cook? and The Pioneer Woman Cooks, an Elton John biography, and Newt Gingrich's Trump vs. China.
Maybe Hillary should have taken a smoke signal from Elizabeth Warren and written a cookbook?
“Destined to be a classic in the tradition of Profiles in Courage, The Book of Virtues and We Should All Be Feminists," Jonathan Karp, the President of Simon and Schuster, had declared.
Two of these things are not like the other. And none of them are like The Book of Gutsy Women which is destined to be a classic the way that one of its authors was destined to be the President of the United States. What it is destined for is remainder bins, the shelves of 99 cent stores, and the town dump.
Much like its authoress.
Simon and Schuster had invested a whole lot of money in Hillary Inc. It paid her a record $14 million advance for Hard Choices, her second memoir, a flop, it paid her $8 million for her first memoir, Living History, it suffered through It Takes a Village and Dear Socks, and got back into bed with her for what was supposed to be a book of personal essays, and instead The Book of Gutsy Women happened.
And that’s all she wrote. Literally.
“For the past 21 years, the Gallup survey has ranked Hillary Rodham Clinton as the most admired woman in the world, and there are at least 65 million people in the United States who agree,” Karp had claimed. “We think a lot of them are going to want to hear her stories.”
Not so much.
Yes, the Gallup survey does claim that 65 million people admire Hillary Clinton. What it fails to mention is that they’re all located in a single Cook County cemetery. And none of them buy books because there isn’t a single Barnes and Noble bookstore that they can reach and return from before the sun rises.
The last time reality didn’t accord with Hillary’s polling, she blamed an international conspiracy. Now that her latest book sold fewer copies than SpongeBob Goes to the Doctor, it’ll have to be interstellar.
But the reality is that nobody likes Hillary. The only time people bought her books was when they expected her to have something to say. Living History sold big because everyone was waiting for her to dish on her husband’s affair. What Happened did very well because readers were waiting for her reaction to losing the election. There’s a winning formula here that Hillary ought to learn from.
Hillary’s books sell really well after she’s involved in a disaster, whether it’s her husband cheating on her, or losing an election. If she wants another bestseller, she needs a huge disaster to write about.
Bill Clinton cheating on her again won’t surprise anyone. And no one will let her run for president again.
That just leaves an extensive confession of her crimes. Everything from Whitewater to the Steele Dossier. In one book. It’ll outsell Living History and What Happened combined. She could even call it, What Really Happened. Unfortunately, the only place for her to go afterward would be a 6 by 8-foot cell.
But just think how many copies her fourth memoir about life in prison would sell.

Clinton Foundation Put On Watch List Of Suspicious ‘Charities’
#1 New York Times Bestseller!
Peter Schweizer
has been fighting corruption―and winning―for years. In Throw Them All Out, he
exposed insider trading by members of Congress, leading to the passage of the
STOCK Act. In Extortion,
he uncovered how politicians use mafia-like tactics to enrich themselves. And
in Clinton Cash,
he revealed the Clintons’ massive money machine and sparked an FBI
investigation.
Now he explains
how a new corruption has taken hold, involving larger sums of money than ever
before. Stuffing tens of thousands of dollars into a freezer has morphed into
multibillion-dollar equity deals done in the dark corners of the world.
An American bank
opening in China would be prohibited by US law from hiring a slew of family
members of top Chinese politicians. However, a Chinese bank opening in America
can hire anyone it wants. It can even invite the friends and families of
American politicians to invest in can’t-lose deals.
President Donald
Trump’s children have made front pages across the world for their dicey
transactions. However, the media has barely looked into questionable deals made
by those close to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Mitch McConnell, and
lesser-known politicians who have been in the game longer.
In many parts of
the world, the children of powerful political figures go into business and
profit handsomely, not necessarily because they are good at it, but because
people want to curry favor with their influential parents. This is a relatively
new phenomenon in the United States. But for relatives of some prominent
political families, we may already be talking about hundreds of millions of
dollars.

Breitbart
News senior contributor Peter Schweizer, author of “Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides
Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends,” on Friday
stressed the importance of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden
addressing the Ukraine issue involving him and his son, Hunter.
Schweizer said the former vice
president needs to address his family’s dealings in Ukraine “front and center”
rather than ignoring because polling indicates most people believe it needs
further investigation.
“[Hunter Biden] has been radio
silent, and I think if you look at the way the Bidens have handled this issue,
it’s been to not answer any questions, which I think just raises further
suspicions,” Schweizer told Fox News Channel’s “America’s
Newsroom.” “Hunter Biden is somewhere, allegedly in California hiding out,
and Joe Biden won’t answer any questions on this. He gets angry.”
“I think at some point they’re going
to have to address these issues front and center because as it stands right
now, polls indicate that most people believe this needs further investigation
and needs to be looked at,” he added.

THE BRIBES SUCKING LIVES OF HILLARY
& BILLARY
The Clintons have been a
criminal enterprise since they came to power in Arkansas. The list
of scandals they have generated is long and tawdry. Their principal
goal then and now has always been to enrich themselves. They never
once had a moral compunction about lying, cheating, selling, and stealing their
way to wealth. They are the Perons of America. They eventually
set up a "foundation" and the money kept rolling in.
Only six percent of the
billions of dollars the "Foundation" takes in goes to
charity. The rest subsidizes the lavish lifestyles of the Clintons
and their sycophants; those people who have sold their souls to rub shoulders
with unadulterated power.

Turns out Biden's family not the only one to benefit from
Ukrainian fossil fuels
On Sept. 24, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the official
impeachment inquiry that would be led by
the Intelligence Committee and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). At
first, this was a curious decision to objective persons, since the Judiciary
Committee has the authority over this type of procedure. At the time,
Pelosi indicated a threat by President Donald Trump to our national security
during the July 25 conversation between him and President Zelensky of
Ukraine. She did this without the benefit of the transcript, but she
doubtless already knew much of the CIA "whistleblower's" complaint. Further,
the Ukrainian
president disputes her version.
But this is not the rationale for her haste to convene the
investigation. It appears that the D.C. swamp benefits another
powerful family. The Biden family has
gotten special treatment from Ukrainian oil interests, and the Pelosi family
has a similar advantage. Paul Pelosi, Jr. was a board member of
Viscoil and an executive at its related company NRGLab, which was involved in
energy business in Ukraine. Perhaps the use of the Intelligence
Committee has given the Democrats the opportunity to limit Republican
questioning and maintain secrecy over the responses from subpoenaed
witnesses. This would prevent any official record implicating
Pelosi's son. This also explains her
reluctance to take a vote authorizing the investigation, since the minority
party would gain some rights.
This is interesting also since much of the Democratic Party
rejects carbon-based energy sources. Biden has made this a part of
his campaign. The Green New Deal proposals will eventually end
dependency on oil and gas as an energy source. But this does not
stop these politicos from benefiting financially from this sector of the
economy. This reminds one of the financial benefits that Al Gore's
father had from Occidental Petroleum, which was one of the great polluters
(remember Love Canal?). He chose to make money selling carbon
offsets to atone and make his own name.
The Ukrainian oil company Burisma used
many well connected members of the D.C. establishment connected to the Obama
administration. This interlocking swamp is a threat to the
USA. But the media have managed to convince a vast number of
Americans that Trump is the threat. When Trump railed against Pelosi
in Louisiana on Friday, he was accusing her of not just splitting the nation
politically, but also ignoring the financial benefits to powerful families at
the detriment of our national security. This also helps explain the
constant discussion in public about Biden's son Hunter, in addition to the
political advantage he might gain.
No wonder the establishment (including many Republicans) wants to
impeach Trump. Family security always "trumps" national
security in the D.C. swamp.

Biden Leaves China Board as Trump Attacks Hit Home

Hunter Biden is walking away from the board of a Chinese-backed
private equity company as part of a public pledge to disavow all foreign work
if his father, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, gains the presidency in
2020.
Joe Biden’s second son made his move after a month of pushing by
U.S. President Donald Trump who has publicly highlighted the perceived – and
real – conflicts of interest represented by Biden’s work in Asia.
A statement released on his behalf by his legal counsel George
Mesires said his relationship with the management company of a private equity
fund that’s backed by Chinese state-owned entities will end within weeks.
The 49-year-old doesn’t state whether he will be divesting from
BHR (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Company. The company was set
up in 2013 to invest Chinese capital outside of China.
Instead the young Biden pledged he wouldn’t work for any
foreign-owned companies or serve on their boards during a potential Biden
administration.
“Hunter always understood that his father would be guided,
entirely and unequivocally, by established U.S. policy, regardless of its
effects on Hunter’s professional interests,” the statement said. “He never
anticipated the barrage of false charges against both him and his father by the
President of the United States.”
Just two days ago Trump again
highlighted the problem of Hunter Biden seeking work overseas during a
political rally in Louisiana, as Breitbart News reported.
Trump: ‘The Fake News Is Always Covering Up For Joe Biden’
Volume 90%
“He doesn’t know what a gasoline tank looks like,” Trump
said, explaining Biden’s son knew nothing about energy despite earning up to
$83,000 a month for sitting on a board of a corrupt energy company in Ukraine.
Trump then ripped Hunter for leaving China with $1.5 billion in
investments from the bank of China despite knowing “nothing” and mocked
the news broadcasts for repeatedly saying that Trump’s claims of corruption
were “totally unsubstantiated” … at Biden’s request.
“It’s not unsubstantiated, he took a fortune out of Ukraine,
knew nothing, took a fortune out of China,” he said.
He expressed skepticism Hunter Biden was able to get $1.5
billion in Chinese investments because they thought he was a good investment.
“For a guy to walk in from off the street with no experience, a
bad track record, just got thrown out of the navy, and he walks away with $1.5
billion?” Trump said.
