It’s good to be Chelsea Clinton. The crowned princess of the Clinton Clan just has to show up a few times and get handed buckets of money.









This participation-trophy career has recently netted the only daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton a staggering $300,000 for attending six meetings while a board member of “leading media and Internet company” IAC. The Daily Mail reported Thursday on records it had obtained showing Clinton was paid a little more than $600,000 in 2018 as director for IAC and Expedia’s boards.

“The IAC board met just six times in 2018, while some members of the Expedia board were only obligated to attend two meetings last year,” the Mail reported.

In addition to the lavish compensation, Clinton “will soon own just over $400,000 of Expedia stock and shares in IAC that add up to an astonishing $6.3 million, based on those companies trading prices when the market opened Friday,” the Mail reported.

The $302,880 amount Clinton received from Expedia was the result of a $52,953 cash fee and $249,927 from stocks, which the Mail reports is the amount each member of the board was awarded. Clinton, as the Mail noted, is the youngest member of the board and unlike the next youngest member, 43-year-old Courtnee Chun, she really has no business experience warranting her position. Chun was previously the Chief Financial Officer at New Global Telecom, Inc. and worked for J.P. Morgan’s mergers and acquisitions department, the Mail reported.

IAC and Expedia are both led by Clinton family friend Barry Diller.


While each board member received the same stock awards, Chun was paid less in cash fees ($45,000) than Clinton. Clinton was named to the board when she was just 31 years old.

This is not the first time Clinton has received an egregious amount of money for very little work. In 2014, Politico reported that the Clinton daughter was paid $600,000 for a few appearances on NBC as a “special correspondent.” She lacked any experience or talent for being an on-air personality, yet she was still paid as though she was top talent. Clinton left that job a few months after the report came out to work for her parents’ foundation.

In 2015, after the University of Missouri at Kansas City decided not to pay Hillary Clinton $275,000 to speak, Chelsea was brought in at the “bargain” rate of $65,000. For those wondering, that’s more than Tina Brown or Gloria Steinem are paid to speak to colleges.


That $65,000 was for a 10-minute speech, a 20-minute question-and-answer session, and an additional 30 minutes of posing for pictures with “VIPs.”

As the Mail further reported, Clinton’s combined stock from IAC and Expedia totals about $6.7 million in stock. This plum appointment, and the stock that comes with it, has been Clinton’s “most profitable endeavor,” the Mail reported.

Must be nice to have a famous family and famous family friends that can put you in positions to make thousands of times more than the average American with no qualifications or experience.
 

CNN Wrote Over 20 Articles On Covington Catholic Students, Ignores Philly Muslim Children Chanting About

Chopping Off Heads
May 5th, 2019

How cute these little towelheads are, throw them a side of bacon.

Send them all back.

Philadelphis Muslim students talk about chopping off heads (screengrab)


CNN covered the January controversy surrounding Nick Sandmann and his fellow Covington Catholic School students 23 times, yet thus far hasn’t covered footage of children at a Philadelphia Islamic center reading poetry about chopping off heads.

Video from last month of kids at the Philadelphia Muslim American Society (MAS) Islamic Center showed them reading about chopping off heads and subjecting the enemies of Allah to “eternal torture.”





The irony was pointed out via Twitter by The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra.




A search of the words “Covington Catholic Students” returned exactly 23 results, while a search for “Muslim American Society Islamic Center Philadelphia” yielded none. (RELATED: Apologies Roll In For Catholic School Protesters As Fuller Picture Of Events Emerges)

  • Buttigieg on Privilege: I ‘Check Myself’ to Understand Advantages of ‘Whiteness or Maleness’

Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg (D) revealed in multiple interviews this week that he has to “check himself” because it is sometimes difficult to see the ways in which he has benefited from his “whiteness or maleness.”

Time magazine, which has Buttigieg on its cover this week, acknowledged that “running a campaign based on narrative has long been a privilege reserved for men,” and “Buttigieg’s maleness and whiteness has undoubtedly benefited him, even as women and people of color become increasingly central to the Democrats’ 2020 coalition.”


“It’s hard for me to even be able to see some of the ways in which whiteness or maleness may have made my life go differently,” Buttigieg told the outlet.

In an interview with the Daily Show earlier in the week, Buttigieg said he tries to “check” himself to understand the various “factors” that help explain some of the advantages he has had in the 2020 election cycle because of his gender and skin color.

“But I’ve been reflecting on this because one of the things about privilege, especially things like white privilege or male privilege, is that you don’t think about it very much,” Buttigieg told host Trevor Noah. “It’s being in an out-group where you are constantly reminded of it. It’s not when you are in a majority or a privileged group. And so, I try to check myself and make sure I try to understand the factors that help explain why things are going well.”


Buttigieg also added in his interview with Noah that he thought it is “simply harder for candidates of color or for female candidates” to succeed in today’s political/media environment on the left, which is ironically dominated by outlets and reporters who obsess about diversity and look for any excuse they can find to frame conservatives as intolerant.

“I’m very mindful of that,” Buttigieg said. “The only thing I know how to do about that from where I’m sitting is to try to be true to a message and a vision that’s meaningful and to be as respectful as I can of the others.”

Numerous national and state polls have found that wealthy white “wine-track” liberals are behind the so-called “Buttigieg boomlet,” and the Indiana mayor at various events has acknowledged that his campaign needs to do better among Democrats of color. Buttigieg has often asked his mostly homogenous supporters in recent weeks to help him reach out to more voters of color.

Everyone should have to write a check to the IRS once a year.
I write one four times a year.
Makes a case for smaller government like nothing else will.

How many people did they employ?
How much federal withholding tax did these companies pay?
How many of those employees had health care provided by those companies?
