The last thing the left needs is the third iteration of a failed political dynasty. Amid investigations into Russian election interference, perhaps we ought to consider whether the Kremlin, to hurt Democrats, helped put Chelsea Clinton on the cover of Variety. Or maybe superstition explains it. Like tribesmen laying out a sacrifice to placate King Kong, news outlets continue to make offerings to the Clinton gods. In The New York Times alone, Chelsea has starred in multiple features over the past few months: for her tweeting (it’s become “feisty”), for her upcoming book (to be titled She Persisted), and her reading habits (she says she has an “embarrassingly large” collection of books on her Kindle). With Chelsea’s 2015 book, It’s Your World, now out in paperback, the puff pieces in other outlets—Elle, People, etc.—are too numerous to count. One wishes to calm these publications: You can stop this now. Haven’t you heard that the great Kong is no more? Nevertheless, they’ve persisted. At great cost: increased Chelsea exposure is tied closely to political despair and, in especially intense cases, the bulk purchasing of MAGA hats. So let’s review: How did Chelsea become such a threat? Perhaps the best way to start is by revisiting some of Chelsea’s major post-2008 forays into the public eye. Starting in 2012, she began to allow glossy magazines to profile her, and she picked up speed in the years that followed. The results were all friendly in aim, and yet the picture that kept emerging from the growing pile of Chelsea quotations was that of a person accustomed to courtiers nodding their heads raptly. Here are Chelsea’s thoughts on returning to red meat in her diet: “I’m a big believer in listening to my body’s cravings.” On her time in the “fiercely meritocratic” workplace of Wall Street: “I was curious if I could care about [money] on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t.” On her precocity: “They told me that my father had learned to read when he was three. So, of course, I thought I had to too. The first thing I learned to read was the newspaper.” Take that, Click, Clack, Moo. Chelsea, people were quietly starting to observe, had a tendency to talk a lot, and at length, not least about Chelsea. But you couldn’t interrupt, not even if you’re on TV at NBC, where she was earning $600,000 a year at the time. “When you are with Chelsea, you really need to allow her to finish,” Jay Kernis, one of Clinton’s segment producers at NBC, told Vogue. “She’s not used to being interrupted that way.” Sounds perfect for a dating profile: I speak at length, and you really need to let me finish. I’m not used to interruptions. What comes across with Chelsea, for lack of a gentler word, is self-regard of an unusual intensity. And the effect is stronger on paper. Unkind as it is to say, reading anything by Chelsea Clinton—tweets, interviews, books—is best compared to taking in spoonfuls of plain oatmeal that, periodically, conceal a toenail clipping. Take the introduction to It’s Your World (Get Informed! Get Inspired! Get Going!). It’s harmless, you think. “My mom wouldn’t let me have sugary cereal growing up (more on that later),” writes Chelsea, “so I improvised, adding far more honey than likely would have been in any honeyed cereals.” That’s the oatmeal—and then comes the toenail: I wrote a letter to President Reagan when I was five to voice my opposition to his visit to the Bitburg cemetery in Germany, because Nazis were buried there. I didn’t think an American president should honor a group of soldiers that included Nazis. President Reagan still went, but at least I had tried in my own small way. Ah, yes, that reminds me of when I was four and I wrote to Senator John Warner about grain tariffs, arguing that trade barriers unfairly decreased consumer choice. At first glance, of course, Chelsea seems to be boasting that at age five she was interpreting the news with the maturity of an adult. But we should consider whether it’s instead a confession that as an adult she still interprets the news with the maturity of—well, let’s just submit that perhaps she thinks what other people tell her to think. Which brings us to Chelsea’s Twitter feed. Since Chelsea has 1.6 million followers, we can only conclude that some people enjoy ideas like “Yes. Yes. Yes. Closing the #wagegap is crucial to a strong economy.” And maybe there’s no sin in absorbing and exuding nothing but respectable Blue State opinion. But it’s another thing to insist on joining each day’s designated outrage bandwagon. Did we need to slap down a curmudgeonly Charlotte Rampling, age 71, for griping about #OscarsSoWhite activists? Yes, and here’s Chelsea: “Outrageous, ignorant & offensive comments from Rampling.” Is gender identity not going to be included on the 2020 census? Here’s Chelsea: “This is outrageous. No one should be invisible in America.” Not that there aren’t breaks for deeper thoughts: “Words without action are ... meaningless. Words with inaction are ... just words. Words with opposite action is ... hypocrisy.” That is … beautiful. The crude conventional wisdom is that Bill Clinton craved adoration and Hillary Clinton craved power. But Chelsea Clinton seems to have a more crippling want: fashionability—of the sort embraced by philanthropic high society. So you tell The New York Times that your dream dinner party would include James Baldwin, Shakespeare, Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, Jane Jacobs, and Jane Austen, and discussion would be about how “people and communities can evolve to be more inclusive, more kind, have a greater and broader sense of solidarity, while still respecting individual liberties; what provokes or blocks those changes; and what stories might resonate today to encourage us toward kindness, respect, and mutual dignity.” You almost have to bow down before someone who could host Shakespeare for dinner and make the agenda wind up sounding like a brochure for the Altria Group. At least Kafka would be on hand to capture the joy of the evening. To find fault with the former First Daughter is to invite the wrath of thousands. Love of Chelsea correlates closely with love of Hillary, toward whom her fans have long felt an odd protectiveness, as if she were a stroke survivor regaining the power of speech rather than one of the most influential people in the world. That goes even more for Chelsea, who is often treated less like an independent 37-year-old multi-millionaire and more like the 12-year-old who still deserves to be left alone. But let’s have a reality check. No one bothers George W. Bush’s daughter, Barbara Bush, who quietly works on her nonprofit, Global Health Corps. On the other hand, if you’re posing for magazine covers, granting interviews, doing book tours, placing your name on your parents’ multi-million-dollar foundation, and tweeting out daily to 1.6 million people, then—guess what—you’re a public figure. And if you’ve openly entertained the possibility of running for office if “it was something I felt called to do,” then assurances to the contrary aren’t quite good enough. You’re a public hazard. God has decreed that American political dynasties decline sharply in suitability for office with each iteration. Call it the George H.W.-George W.-Jeb rule. Quit after the first iteration. Don’t trot out the second one. And, for the love of God, don’t trot out the third. Forgetting that rule harmed the Democratic Party in 2016 and blew up the Republican Party entirely. The Democratic Party is surprisingly cohesive these days, thanks to anti-Trump sentiment, so a Jeb-style destruction is unlikely. But never say never. If anyone could make it happen, Chelsea could. Poster Comment: A rather insightful piece regardless of the source. Frank appears as a foppish sort of writer, but there is much truth in what he says about this motor-mouthed, obnoxious brat offspring of two of the most evil beings to ever step foot in the White House, which they both disgraced. It is abundantly clear that what all this splashing about of Chelsea means is that her bloody parents want a political career for this mouth.

God does not intervene in the affairs of mankind on the side of justice. If he did, he would have erased the multitude of shitheads of the world. If you want to stop he Chelseas, the Merkals, the Hillarys et al, start by reasoning a irrefutable refutation.
I disagree. Sometimes God does intervene, and immediately. Here are two examples for you: The minute Princess Diana, in line to be the Queen of England, agreed to marry her Muslim boyfriend, and put his ring on her finger, she was immediately struck by the proverbial bolt of lightning. When PM Ariel Sharon gave away the Gaza Strip to Muslims, and then said he was going to also give away half of the West Bank, he was immediately struck dead (i.e, brain-dead). As for Chelsea, I don't know enough about her to say that anything like that will happen to her. But I will say this: Her dad is the false prophet of Revelation 19 who gave away Kosovo to the Muslims, and God is not about to let either Hillary or Chelsea or any other supporter of Bill Clinton become President ever again. You can take that to the bank.

There is nothing petty about ruling the world, which is what we, God's Chosen People are supposed to be doing. Sometimes God immediately strikes people dead for helping Muslims, the 7th head of Satan. Other times, as with Bill Clinton and his many followers (chiefly Hillary, but also Chelsea), the Revelation says they will experience "living" hell. That includes everyone who voted for Hillary, so be careful who you vote for.
Really? Huh. I don't recall Jesus saying that anywhere. YHWH certainly never said that to the Hebrews. So, where are you getting it?
Huh. I don't recall Jesus saying that anywhere. YHWH certainly never said that to the Hebrews. You are wrong on both counts. The Old Testament says in Genesis that a branch of the Jews will rule all the nations of the earth. That branch is Christianity. And in the Gospels, Jesus said He would return when the sign of Christ appeared in the clouds in order to rule all of the world. The history books tell us that the sign of Christ (a Chi-Rho, the first two letters of Christ in Greek) appeared in the sky on Oct 27th, 312 AD when also Jesus appeared to Constantine and said "By this, conquer." And that's what Constantine promptly did. He put the sign on his labarum and then, riding a white horse and carrying a bow, he conquered all the known world for Jesus and the Church. And the history books tell us that Christianity has been the dominant force on Earth ever since that day. After the Byzantine empire ruled the earth for a while, the Roman Catholic kings, who rode stout red horses and carried a great sword, ruled the earth for awhile. Then King James appeared on the scene riding a black horse, and the British empire which conquered with economics ruled the earth for awhile. Then George Washington appeared riding a very pale-looking horse named Blueskin and now we are ruling the earth. Our weapons bring hell and death to the enemies of Jesus. Isolationists (like Ron Paul and Rand Paul, et al) are crazy. We are not supposed to isolate ourselves from the world, we are supposed to be ruling it, and that is what Trump is now doing, with the help of the other Christian nations in NATO.
We are? Seriously? When World War II ended, the world was half-ruled by the Soviet Union. We didn't win in Korea. We outright lost in Vietnam. we have gone through 11 Presidents with an embargo on Cuba. Fidel Castro is dead, of old age, but his brother still rules. China is taking islands in the South China Sea, and we protest. We don't like Assad, but he's still in power. Your definition of "ruling the world" is pretty loose. So loose that "ruling the world" really means "we're the most prominent nation in the world, but we don't rule it".

Your definition of "ruling the world" is pretty loose. So loose that "ruling the world" really means "we're the most prominent nation in the world, but we don't rule it". You have left out the fact that we won WW II by conquering both Hitler and Japan. Several countries helped us conquer Hitler, but it was primarily the US. And yes because Moscow helped us a little bit, we voluntarily gave the "great whore" a lot of the spoils. But it was not because she actually conquered all those countries. As for Korea, we did stop North Korea from conquering South Korea, so in a way, we won. And we could have easily conquered North Korea if we had wanted to. We also could have won in Viet Nam if we had wanted to. But because of false prophets such as Jane Fonda, et al, we pulled out. The fact is, we can conquer whatever and whoever we want to, because we have weapons that are superior to anyone else's. It's just that some US Presidents were pussyfoots and hesitated to use them. But my main point is, Trump is not afraid to use them, and I predict that soon we will rule the Earth as never before. He will take out Assad and ISIS and Mr. UN and he'll probably have to also take out the President of Iran before it's over. When all of the forces of Satan are removed, the US and the other Christian nations in NATO will be able to rule the Earth unhindered for a thousand years! My other point is, no other conqueror before or since has ever rode such a pale- looking horse like Washington's "Blueskin."
Oh good Lord. Russia was the primary power that conquered Germany. 85% of German casualties were suffered on the Russian Front, and delivered by the Soviet Union. We assisted the Soviet Union in conquering Germany, not the other way around. We did not GIVE the USSR anything. They TOOK it in the process of conquering Germany. The war ended on the line that the Soviet and American troops met. What were we going to do in 1945? Attack the Soviet Union? It would have been madness. There would have been millions dead. The Germans surprised them in 1941, but once the Bear got armed up and moving, they crushed the Germans under the massive weight of armor and air and so many troops. The Soviets pinned and mauled the Nazis, while the Western Allies brought up the rear. Had the Soviets attached us in 1945, with airpower and the Allied forces, we probably would have been able to hold the line and stop them. But if we had attacked them, to try to take Berlin and Eastern Europe from us, they would have pulped our forces. We didn't "let" the Soviets keep anything. We were allies that needed each other.

I don't know what history book(s) you've been reading, but most history books say that D-Day was the turning point of WW II. And that is also what the Revelation says. On D- Day, 200 million horses (under the hood) were unleashed on the antiChrist (Hitler) and the third of the Earth aligned with him. The riders on the horses are said to be wearing breastplates of red, white and blue which is very obviously referring to US soldiers. You can believe anything you want to, but as for me, I choose to believe the Bible (see the 6th trumpet prophecy).
No they don't. They say that Stalingrad and Midway were the turning points of World War II in Europe and the Pacific respectively.
Funny, I have never heard that or read that. But even if there is a history book that says that, I prefer to believe what the Bible says. The Revelation says that the 200 million horses unleashed on Hitler on D-Day is/was the turning point of WW II, and I'm sticking with that irregardless of any nonsense you or anyone else may spout.
No the bible doesn't say that. You bear false witness. Dece8ving and being deceived.

I am not sure what you are referring to, but I can assure you that the Bible does indeed say everything I say it does. Tell me what you are referring to and I will gladly give you the chapter and verse.
