  • Onward Together Has Done Little Besides Fundr | the Daily Caller
    POLITICS Hillary and Bill Clinton (Getty images) ∧∧ Hillary’s New Political Group Has∧ Little To Show Except Soliciting Donations In First Four Months PETER HASSON Associate Editor 11:01 PM 09/17/2017 In the four months since Hillary Clinton officially launched her new political group, Onward Together, the group has done little besides soliciting donations from Clinton supporters. When Clinton went public with her group on May 15 she said the group would be partnering with five left-wing political groups: Indivisible, Swing Left, Color of Change, Emerge America and Run for Something. But four months later, it’s unclear what the group’s donors have to show for their money. Onward Together’s website still has just two tabs: one explaining the group’s mission and one asking supporters for donations. An email signed by Clinton asking supporters for money last week excused her group’s lack of action. “You may not have heard much about the work we’re doing at Onward Together,” Clinton wrote. “That’s because we’re working behind the scene to fund, support, and amplify the work of the groups we’re supporting. We’re not the story: they are.” She closed the email by asking supporters to commit to a recurring monthly donation. The Daily Caller reached out to all five political groups, asking them to confirm that Onward Together has, in fact, been funding and supporting their groups. Only one group responded to the TheDC’s repeated requests: Indivisible, the Soros-backed “resistance” group. “Onward Together has not given any financial support to us,” Helen Kalla, an Indivisible spokesperson, wrote in an email.

  • Conversational Implicatures in Hillary Clinton's
    CONVERSATIONAL IMPLICATURES IN HILLARY CLINTON’S INTERVIEW WITH NDTV AND REFINERY29 IN 2017 A Thesis Submitted to Letters and Humanities Faculty In Partial of the Requirements for the Degree Strata One ARY CHYNTHIA YASNI NIM. 11140260000063 ENGLISH LETTERS DEPARTMENT LETTERS AND HUMANITIES FACULTY STATE ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY SYARIF HIDAYATULLAH JAKARTA 2018 ABSTRACT Ary Chynthia Yasni, Conversational Implicatures in Hillary Clinton‟s Interview with NDTV and Refinery29 in 2017. Thesis: English Letters Department, Letters and Humanity Faculty, State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2018. This research discusses about the conversational implicature that is generated by non-observance of maxims in the transcript text of Hillary Clinton‟s interviews with the representative of NDTV and Refinery29 by using Paul Grice‟s Cooperative Principles theory. It is also aimed to find out the meaning of each conversational implicature that have been found in the transcript text of the interviews. The result shows that both particularized conversational implicature and generalized conversational implicature are found in the transcript text. Clinton has done the non-observance towards three out of four maxims in the Cooperative Principles; they are maxim of quantity, maxim of relevance, and maxim of manner. Furthermore, the types of non-observance of maxims that found in the transcript text of the interviews are flouting and opting out. Moreover, most of the conversational implicatures rise because Clinton fails to observe the maxim by flouting maxim of quantity. This research concludes that Clinton wanted the interlocutors to understand what she really meant by giving more information than what was required which made her to flout the maxim of quantity the most.

    Sapientia et Doctrina Wisdom and Learning “Wisdom and learning shall be the stability of thy times.” —Adapted from Isaiah 33:6 The Fordham University Seal The Great Seal of Fordham University proclaims that Fordham has been a Jesuit university since its founder, Archbishop John Hughes, entrusted it to the care of the Society of Jesus five years after its founding in 1841. Hence, the coat of arms of the Society of Jesus stands at the center of the Great Seal of the University. The coat of arms bears the Greek letters for the name Jesus—IHS—with the cross resting in the horizontal line of the letter H, and the three nails beneath in a field framed in maroon, the color of the University, with fleurs-de-lis on the edge of the maroon frame. Around the Society’s coat of arms is a scroll with the University’s motto, Sapientia et Doctrina (Wisdom and Learning). The scroll rests on a field in which tongues of fire are displayed, recalling the outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit of wisdom (sapientia) that marked the first Pentecost. A laurel wreath at the center of which are listed the names of the disciplines that are or have been taught at the University rests at the top of the seal. (The University had a medical school from 1905 to 1919 and a College of Pharmacy from 1912 to 1971.) These central heraldic devices are enclosed within a circular field fashioned as a belt and edged with beads. The field bears the University’s name (rendered in Latin) and the date of its foundation.

  • Forging a New Democratic Party: the Politics of the Third Way from Clinton to Obama Curtis Atkins a Dissertation Submitted to T
    FORGING A NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY: THE POLITICS OF THE THIRD WAY FROM CLINTON TO OBAMA CURTIS ATKINS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN POLITICAL SCIENCE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2015 © Curtis Atkins 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes the evolution of the American Democratic Party’s ideological orientation from 1985 to 2014. The central problem is to develop an understanding of how shifts in political-economic context and factional agency combine to produce alterations in the predominant ideology of a U.S. political party. The primary question posed is how the centrist perspective known as the ‘third way’ replaced the left-liberalism of the New Deal and Great Society eras as the guiding public philosophy of the Democratic Party. Whereas many scholars propose that the modern third way revisionism of center-left parties is explained primarily as electoral opportunism or as an adoption of the political logic of the New Right, this study focuses on how changes in political economy (particularly the transition from Keynesianism to neoliberalism) prompted the elaboration of an alternative ideological framework that sought to adapt to new times. In the U.S. case, the primary agent of this process of ideological reorientation was the New Democrat faction, most well-known for its connection to President Bill Clinton. Combining qualitative document analysis and focused interviews with personnel from the think-tanks and policy institutes of the New Democrat faction and its competitors, the dissertation finds that the initiation and maintenance of reorientation is dependent on a faction’s success in elaborating and continually ‘decontesting’ an alternative framework that de-legitimatizes a party’s pre-existing ideological commitments.
