Overhauling welfare was one of the defining goals of Bill Clinton's presidency, starting with a campaign promise to "end welfare as we know it," continuing with a bitter policy fight and producing change that remains hotly debated 20 years later. Now, President Donald Trump wants to put his stamp on the welfare system, apparently in favor of a more restrictive policy.
Those conservatives and Republicans reading the cautious confessions of Democrat players that they may have actually been wrong about Bill Clinton's sexual crimes, could be forgiven if they wrongly believe the scales have fallen at last from the eyes of the left and they can now see how mistaken they once were. While it is tempting to read these mea culpas from liberal pundits and power players within the party, one would be well advised to not go getting all dewy eyed and sentimental over the turkey table with the mistaken belief that perhaps our Democratic brethren aren't so morally misguided as we've long believed.

Steve Mostyn, Democrat mega donor to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, died after "a sudden onset and battle with a mental health issue." While the death appears to be suicide, the Mostyn family has yet to comment on what the cause of death is.
According to "Clinton Cash," author Peter Schweizer, then Senator Hillary Clinton extorted a Kazakh official involved in the Uranium-One deal. It is possible Schweizer misspoke and meant to say Secretary of State Clinton.
Left-leaning Americans who are rightfully repulsed by Roy Moore , and who were similarly steamed in 2016 about President Donald Trump's gropey braggadocio, need to acknowledge that President Bill Clinton also rates a place in that Hall of Infamy. Lest we forget, feminists and Democratic activists in the late 1990s mostly stayed mute, defended, or excused Clinton's notorious workplace behavior .
Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez 's political fate in next year's crucial midterms after the mistrial in his federal bribery case may hinge on whether prosecutors retry him and whether attacks from Republicans based on the indictment convince voters to keep him from a third term. Fresh off a victory lap at the courthouse, where Menendez thanked those who stood by him and promised to remember those who opposed him during his darkest hours, the two-term incumbent wasted no time jumping back into his Senate schedule.
An hour and a half sit down with a legendary political couple, celebrating a successful campaign near the end of the 20th century, and celebrating the thousands of people in the crowd who helped back in 1992. "If it weren't for the people of Arkansas, there weren't enough of us to go around, we wouldn't have made it."
Bill and Hillary Clinton are back in Arkansas this weekend reflecting on the 1992 presidential campaign, but their appearance comes at a time of controversy over inappropriate sexual conduct.
Would the war against preying on women be blazing so fiercely had Hillary Clinton been elected?

A popular deduction targeted in the GOP's overhaul of the tax code is used by more than a quarter of all filers in a majority of states, including many led by Republicans where some residents eventually could see their federal tax bills rise. The exact effect in every state isn't known, in part because of differences in the Senate and House versions of the bill.
A new study indicates that President Trump's Twitter rants may be having a negative impact on the very people he's going to need to continue staying loyal to him: Ten months into his presidency, the failure of any one single scandal to sink his administration has led some in the media to suggest that Trump is like "Teflon," with the grime that would stick to other politicians simply slipping right off. But the numbers show that nothing could be further from the truth - Trump's scandals aren't just damaging him, they're causing swing voters to reevaluate both his priorities and the very health of the economy.
White House spokesman Sarah Sanders insists there's "a very big distinction" between the sexual assault allegations against President Trump and Democratic Sen. Al Franken, saying, 'Franken has admitted wrongdoing and the president hasn't.' Despite the many women who have accused him of inappropriate behavior, and the tape of him talking about how to "grab" women, Trump couldn't help but go after Democratic Sen. Al Franken over his sexual harassment issues.

"We have a man who's accused of sexual assault sitting in the Oval Office, don't we? The very credible accusations against him have not been taken seriously," Clinton said during an interview with 77 WABC Radio's Rita Cosby . "We can't excuse the president from this debate."
Earlier this year, a Russian-American lobbyist and another businessman discussed over coffee in Moscow an extraordinary meeting they had attended 12 months earlier: a gathering at Trump Tower with President Donald Trump's son, his son-in-law and his then-campaign chairman. The Moscow meeting in June, which has not been previously disclosed, is now under scrutiny by investigators who want to know why the two men met in the first place and whether there was some effort to get their stories straight about the Trump Tower meeting just weeks before it would become public, The Associated Press has learned.
President Trump took to Twitter to mock Hillary Clinton, calling on his 2016 election rival to "get on" with her life and run again in three years. "Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst loser of all time," Trump tweeted Saturday morning.
