📃 Hillary Clinton for the first time revealed the victory speech she would have given if she had won in 2016. After 5 years, she still cannot come to terms with her loss, confirming this with her tears while reading her ‘would have been’ presidential victory speech.

Clinton, a former secretary of state, senator and first lady, spoke in her 'victory' speech about what it meant to be the first woman president.

🗣 'I’ve met little boys and girls who didn’t understand why a woman has never been president before. Now they know, and the world knows, that in America, every boy and every girl can grow up to be whatever they dream - even president of the United States.'

🙂 She apparently finds her 2016 defeat more devastating than her husband's scandal and other controversies surrounding their family

📖 A library in Fairfax County, Virginia, put "Gender Queer" and "Lawn Boy" – which parents claim feature pedophilia and obscene material – alongside the Bible in a "holiday reading display", later removing it after some parents protested.

🗣 The Public Library Director Jessica Hudson said, “The holiday reading display was intended to highlight the freedom to read and the fact that many library patrons have more time during the holidays to do so. It was not the intention of staff to create a display that could be construed as offensive."

🤨 Picture the scene: Just got up one morning and said, 'Let's put a Bible next to a genre book, with a gnome in fancy clothes, and a hat! Sounds like a good idea!' Nothing offensive about that at all

📷 Unpublished photos show the intimate relationship between Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.

One of Ghislaine Maxwell's accusers claimed she once saw a photo of the British socialite “nude and pregnant” inside of Jeffrey Epstein's Florida mansion. However, Maxwell is not known to have any children.

Maxwell, come clean! Where did you hide the baby? (unless, of course, the witness confused her with someone else)
