'Hillary Clinton once threw a Bible at the back of a Secret Service agent’s head, part of a pattern of unhinged rage that the now-presumptive Democratic nominee exhibited, as exposed for the first time in former Secret Service agent Gary Byrne’s grueling insider account of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Byrne’s forthcoming book Crisis of Character—in which he details how the Clintons operated during his time in the U.S. Secret Service, where he protected the first couple for eight years in the White House in the 1990s. During three of those years, he was posted right outside the Oval Office. The book comes out next week.

“The First Lady had a different sort of liveliness,” Byrne writes in an excerpt obtained exclusively by Breitbart News. “She once threw a Bible at an agent on her detail, hitting him in the back of the head. He bluntly let her know it wasn’t acceptable. He told me that story himself.”'

'While children across the world are preparing to celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday, a few fathers in Hyderabad are fighting to simply meet their children.

Fathers who are victims of dowry harassment and maintenance cases and who want a hand in raising their children, allege that their wives do not even allow them to meet their children despite crystal clear court orders that support meetings.

Our society, which responds immediately when a woman faces trouble from her husband, turns a blind eye on such husbands, who are deprived of their basic right to meet their children at least once a week — which is crucial if the fathers want to develop a bond with their children.

Around 50 fathers under Share-A-Childhood foundation staged a two-hour-long protest at Basheerbagh on Saturday. The members said that parental alienation had become a big concern as more than 1,000 divorce cases were being filed in city courts every month.'

It is a very refreshing feeling when common sense, sanity, fairness and a sense of justice is applied to a subject which has defied rationality. In today's world, it feels like these occasions are less and less frequent.

In "Rape Culture Hysteria: Fixing the Damage Done to Men and Women", Wendy McElroy has succeeded nobly where others have failed. People of good will and rational minds sometimes shy away from taking up arguments against people who are not employing reasonable thought and analysis to a problem simply because they don't want to be victims of one kind of phenomenon that McElroy describes in her book. Arguing with people who believe presumed guilt is not only justifiable but desirable even in the absence of any evidence that wrongdoing has occurred is in no small way like arguing with the village idiot. People avoid doing so because they don't want people wondering who is the idiot. After all, taking up an argument with someone who is not using common sense is unpleasant and usually a waste of time.

'This morning The Washington Post reported on a growing problem afflicting the American workforce: fewer men are participating.

The Post explains:

“The [workforce downturn] problem is particularly pronounced among men between the ages of 25 and 54, traditionally considered the prime working years. Their participation rate has been declining for decades, but the drop-off accelerated during the recession. The high mark was 98 percent in 1954, and it now stands at 88 percent. A new analysis from the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers, slated for release Monday, found that the United States now has the third-lowest participation rate for ‘prime-age men’ among the world’s developed countries.”

'Administrators at Harvard University argue that the criminal justice system’s principle of the presumption of innocence is sometimes invoked to silence rape survivors.

Harvard’s Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response offers a slew of definitions for vocabulary related to sexual assault on its website. One definition explains that the phrase “innocent until proven guilty” can be used to “silence” survivors of rape.

“This principle ideally protects those who are innocent and is of particular significance to minority populations disproportionately targeted for arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment or other consequences,” the website reads, as first reported by Campus Reform.

'A college student is accused of rape or sexual harassment by a classmate and denies the allegation. A campus investigation follows. At the end of the process, the presiding administrator must judge whether the charges against the accused have merit.

What standard of proof should be used?

That’s one of the key questions posed in Doe v. Lhamon, a federal lawsuit filed by a former University of Virginia law student and the Foundation of Individual Rights in Education.

The lawsuit seeks to overturn recent efforts by the Department of Education to lower the standard of proof in sexual-misconduct cases, forcing institutions of higher education to determine culpability based on a “preponderance of the evidence.” Under that standard, students are found culpable and punished if the chance that sexual misconduct occurred is even slightly more likely than that it did not occur.'

'Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the invaluable role fathers play in the lives of their children. As a father of five, this holiday is undeniably special to me. It provides an opportunity to appreciate the incomparable bond between my children and me.

Father’s Day is a rare occasion when your kids have your undivided attention, so it’s important to make intentional use of the quality time.

A father’s role extends far beyond playing pitcher for the tee-ball team, or chasing monsters from the closet. Because children are so easily molded by the behavior around them, a father is responsible for telling and showing his children how to respect, communicate and empathize with others.

As your children get older, Father’s Day becomes an opportunity to start important conversations about issues they will be exposed to in the coming years. Unfortunately, domestic violence is one of those issues.

'SAVE has developed a model bill designed to bring fairness to the campus sexual assault issue. Titled the Campus Equality, Fairness, and Transparency Act (CEFTA), the model bill supports the rights and interests of both the complainant and accused student, and encourages the involvement of local criminal justice authorities. CEFTA can be modified for introduction at the state level, as well.

The Campus Equality, Fairness, and Transparency Act consists of eight sections:

Sec. 161: Provides definitions for a range of sexual offenses and codifies the U.S. Supreme Court definition of sexual harassment (Davis v. Monroe, 1999).

Sec. 162: Requires universities to implement policies to reduce the incidence of sexual conduct violations associated with alcohol and drug abuse.

'A former Secret Service agent claims that things got so heated during Bill Clinton’s presidency over his affairs that the Secret Service discussed the prospect of “domestic violence” between Hillary and her husband.
...
According to Byrne, the former First Lady is a self-centered, tantrum-throwing, physical abuser who also knew how to use a gun.

With those things in mind, Byrne claims that the Secret Service was prepared to deal with any “domestic violence” between the Hillary and Bill. The agency tasked with protecting the president even became concerned that they would have to protect Bill from his “volcanic — and occasionally violent — wife.”'

'Yesterday, in a lawsuit sponsored by FIRE, a former University of Virginia School of Law student challenged the Department of Education’s unlawful “preponderance of the evidence” mandate. While that suit has made big news for its direct challenge to the federal government, it is far from the only lawsuit that has been filed recently in response to the due process crisis on college campuses. In fact, more than ten new complaints have been filed in the past two months alone.

'Despite what you’re seeing on every cable network, on the cover of every newspaper, and as the lead story on every website, the White House has an important message for women and it isn’t about terrorism and radical Islam. It’s about “gender inequality” in America.

Last week, professional whiners and women’s rights activists (but I repeat myself) gathered in Washington D.C. for the United State of Women Summit. Guest speakers included First Lady Michelle Obama, multi-billionaire Oprah Winfrey, Academy Award-winning actress Patricia Arquette, White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett and other women who are totally in tune with the struggles of everyday women.
...
Like most “empowerment” efforts by feminists, the United State of Women Summit quickly became a parade of victimhood and man-bashing. Actress Patricia Arquette continued spreading the myth of the wage gap. Since her scatter-brained speech at the Oscars, she’s been christened an expert on the matter. ...'

'Married man with children? Dude, in America, you were somebody once upon a time. A cultural phenom. Ward Cleaver. Mike Brady. Cliff Huxtable. Father always knew best.

Times change. Culture, too. You are America’s forgotten man now, largely invisible, often risible and, in certain quarters, completely contemptible.

In the early 21st century, no one writes tender novels or screenplays about you and what you do for your wife and kids. There are no sitcoms or major motion pictures or binge-watched HBO series where you shine. There are no invitations to “The View” to discuss how you made it to your tenth or 20th or 25th wedding anniversary, or how you put your kids through college on a working man’s salary.

Your role as father has been deemed unnecessary, or at least clouded in doubt. Any number of pieces published in the mainstream press say so.'

'Father’s Day is on Sunday. “So what?” I hear some overstretched mothers out there muttering. For fathers can feel like something of an optional extra nowadays. Once, the place of fathers was at the apex of the familial pyramid. The justification was that they earned the money, often in dangerous, miserable or physically demanding jobs. If there was a war, they fought it. They made some sort of compensation for the fact that they did not give birth or look after children, by sometimes putting their life on the line – just as women did when they went into childbirth.
...
One or two things still spring to mind. They are most uncontroversially and empirically valuable when it comes to parenting boys. Survey after survey has shown that families with boys who lose the male role model after separation tend to have behavioural and educational difficulties. Fathers are crucial role models in teaching boys how to be good men.

Fathers have also had to adapt to one of the most rapid and singular shifts in social organisation ever – the just and overdue rise of feminism. There are a few men who complain that this has gone too far – that despite all the real and thankless privations of childrearing, the commonality and companionship some modern stay-at-home mothers enjoy at the playground, school gates or coffee shop is denied to most working fathers (who may be sweating it out a windowless office somewhere). Yet most haven’t chosen to sulk – they have got on with it without much fuss.
