5 Times Hillary Clinton Was a Major Boss B (That You’ve Totally Forgotten About)

Aug 08, 2016

Since moving into the public sphere four decades ago, Hillary Clinton has held numerous roles: from wife and advocate for reform, to senator and then secretary of state. Now, she’s the first woman to run for president on the ticket of a major party — the first woman who really stands a chance of becoming president. But what happened earlier in her life? Some of these moments have made it into campaign speeches and videos, so let’s take a closer look.

1. Astronaut Hillary: Hillary has mentioned in many speeches that her childhood goal was actually to be an astronaut, but that she was rebuffed after she wrote in to NASA expressing her interest in traveling to space. In the early 1960s, when she would have written, NASA only accepted men as astronauts. In fact, it was a heated topic of discussion at that time whether women should be allowed to participate in the space travel program.

2. Wellesley Commencement Speech: As Hillary’s cohort prepared to graduate from the women-only liberal arts college in 1969, they decided they wanted to hear from someone who’d never been invited to speak at a Wellesley convocation ceremony: a member of the graduating class. And it was a no-brainer who should have the honor, according to the college’s then-president, Ruth Adams: It had to be Hillary. You can listen to parts of that speech on YouTube.

3. Working on the Watergate Committee: Contrary to what some believe, Hillary Clinton was not fired from the committee investigating whether then-president Richard Nixon should be impeached for his involvement in the Watergate scandal. But she did work on the committee fresh out of Yale Law School, and even predicted to her boss that her boyfriend Bill would one day become president! Now that is confidence.

4. Arkansas Education Reforms: During her 12 years as First Lady of Arkansas, Hillary is widely credited with overseeing reforms that took the state out of its perpetual spot near the bottom of every national ranking system of states’ educational performance. She and Bill actually both lost favor with teachers in the state for including mandated teacher testing in the reforms, especially as he’d received huge support from unions all over the state in his bid for office.

5. Health Care Reform… Almost: A 2014 New York Timeslook at Hillary’s role as First Lady describes her role in the attempt to reform health care: “She was an independent force within the White House, single-handedly pushing health care onto the agenda.” While we all know that the mid-1990s push to make health care more accessible to Americans didn’t quite pan out as planned, her central role in the reform movement made her one of the most politically active first ladies in the country’s history, recalling the powerful figure of Eleanor Roosevelt.

OMG 'The Bear' Season 4 First Look Is An Absolute Spoiler

Foodies and TV show fans alike are in for a treat because not only is The Bear season 3 streaming now after its June 26 premiere, but The Bear season 4 will begin production soon! While Deadline reported Jeremy Allen White's hit show was secretly renewed for a fourth season, and would film back-to-back with season 3, the actor recently revealed when the actors will start filming. Given the popularity of The Bear cast and all their new projects (Inside Out 2! Fantastic Four!), I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later! Here's everything you need to know about The Bear season 4.

Here's everything you need to know about The Bear season 4!

Watch The First Look For 'The Bear' Season 4

- YouTube
In the Disney+ first look for 2025, we got to see plenty of exciting shows coming back to our screens next year — including The Bear season 4. The clips are quick, but there's a good bit of info we can gleam from them. Let's get into it!
As always, we see Carmy looking forlorn...I'm hoping he fixes things with Claire Bear, and finally gets the restaurant of his dreams! And tbh, Carm could be well on his way to that dream scenario because it seems like Cousin and Fak are getting along, which is something we weren't sure we'd ever see.
Throughout the first look, we see a handful of our faves, including Sweeps, Tina, and Marcus — and even Jamie Lee Curtis returning as the Berzatto matriarch. But the biggest surprise is when (and where) we see Sydney. After last season, it wasn't clear if Syd would take a new job or stay at The Bear, a decision causing a lot of friction for our fave sous. Well, we definitely see her working at The Bear in this teaser, so Disney may have spoiled that cliffhanger!
At least we'll officially know which way Sydney, Carmy, and the entire crew land in 2025! Can't wait!

When is The Bear season 4 filming?

Frank Ockenfels/FX

When asked about The Bear season 4 filming, Jeremy Allen White revealed he's "not sure exactly" when he'll reunite with his cast mates. “I know it’s not going to be until next year," he says in an interview with Esquire UK. "I imagine sometime early next year, a similar start date to the last couple of years: February/March time."

Will there be season 4 of The Bear?

Chuck Hodes/FX

Yes, The Bear season 4 is on its way! FX renewed the series ahead of the season 3 release. While some fans are wondering if season 4 of The Bear will be the final season (which is what happened with Donald Glover's Atlanta), I think The Bear is one show that could run for at least six seasons, if not more!

During the press conference for season 3, the cast talked started teasing season 4. "We did something like [filming back-to-back]," Jeremy Allen White says (via Decider), while Ayo Edebiri adds, "Yeah, a little version of it, sort of. But not exactly...Is that helpful for journalism?"

"You’ll have to find out!" Abby Elliot says.

When will The Bear season 4 come out?

Chuck Hodes/FX

We'll probably see The Bear season 4 in the summer of 2025. Every season of The Bear so far has released in June (season 1 released in 2022, season 2 in 2023, and season 3 in 2024), so we're hoping the senior installment will come to Hulu in June 2025.

Who will be in The Bear season 4 cast?

FX

The Bear cast includes Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson. Fingers crossed we get to see guest stars like Will Poulter, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Sarah Paulson again!

What is the plot line of The Bear?

Chuck Hodes/FX

Seasons 1 of The Bear follows Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), who returns to Chicago to take over his late brother's restaurant The Beef. There's ton of friction when he doesn't fit in with the rest of the kitchen, but with newcomer Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) and his sister Natalie (Abby Elliott), they set out to turn The Beef into a brand new restaurant that will change the Chicago food scene forever.

Season 2 is all about the team renovating the restaurant into something upscale and chic, while season 3 follows their first few months open. Season 3 ended with The Bear receiving a make-or-break review...before immediately cutting to black. So it looks like season 4 will be all about the review — and its fallout.

When is season 3 of The Bear streaming?

Matt Dinerstein/FX

You can watch all 10 episodes of The Bear season 3 on Hulu now!

'Yellowstone' Season 5 Part 2 Premiere Immediately Explains Kevin Costner’s Fate

Yellowstone season 5B is here! Twisters might have been THE summer movie of 2024, but the western vibes aren't going away, even after the Glen Powell movie has left theaters. The second half of Yellowstone season 5 returned to Paramount November 10 and it did not disappoint. 16.4 million viewers tuned into the premiere over a variety of networks — making it the most-watched season premiere in the show's history.

And it's a major season for one very specific reason: Kevin Costner isn't returning as John Dutton. The star decided to exit the series after season 5's eighth episode premiered in January 2023, but as big of a change is this is, Costner is still an executive producer on the series, giving it a familiarity fans will appreciate.

Yellowstone has always been dramatic, but in the Yellowstone season 5 first look, you can just feel the tension from fan favorites like Beth Dutton, Monica Long, and Kayce Dutton. And no wonder: the Duttons' family drama is coming to a head, and it looks like someone might not make it out alive. Read up on everything you need to know about the new season of Yellowstone, and check out why Paramount+'s New Drama Landman Is Perfect For Yellowstone Fans.

Keep reading for everything you need to know about the final season of Yellowstone.

What is Yellowstone season 5 about?

Paramount

Yellowstone Season 5 Plot

The series introduced us to the Duttons, a powerful family in charge of America's biggest contiguous cattle ranch. Every season has been gritty and powerful, and in the fifth season, we've seen John become Montana's governor and make Beth his chief of staff. But with Jamie trying to take the power away from his dad, the Duttons are fighting each other like we've never seen — especially when Jamie and Beth start considering how to get away with murder.

Luke Grimes recently told Entertainment Weekly how pleased he is with the finale, and Kelly Reilly revealed creator Taylor Sheridan actually told her the ending to the series while they filmed season 1.

“I read the last episode the day before we started filming,” Luke says. “I couldn't be happier. I think it's a perfect ending for the show for every character. It's just a testament to what a good writer Taylor is, and it's a very, very profound, beautiful ending. I can't wait to sit down and watch it one day.”

Is Yellowstone season 5 part 2 out yet?

Paramount

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Release Date

Yes, Yellowstone season 5 part 2 premiered on Paramount November 10, 2024. You can watch new episodes every Sunday.

The series filmed in Montana during the summer of 2024.

Who's in the cast of Yellowstone season 5?

Paramount

Yellowstone Season 5 Cast

The cast of Yellowstone season 5 includes Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Luke Grimes, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Finn Little, Cole Hauser, Gil Birmingham, Wendy Moniz, and Mo Brings Plenty.

Where can I watch season 5 part 1 of Yellowstone?

Paramount

The first half of Yellowstone season 5 is now streaming on Peacock.

Will there be a season 6 of Yellowstone?

Paramount

It's always hard to say goodbye to a beloved show, but despite reports that Yellowstone would end with season 5, it looks like we could be getting a Yellowstone season 6 after all. Deadline confirmed that negotiations are happening for a potential continuation, which would focus on Kelly Reilly's Beth and Cole Hauser's Rip.

Reilly told Entertainment Weekly ahead of the season 5 premiere that "Beth is more like a wild animal this season than ever. When I read the scripts, it made me think [that] she is, for the first time, maybe afraid she will lose it for [her dad]."

"It's dark, brutal and desperate stuff — gaining power, losing it, defending and fighting," she continues. "It's bloody and at times beautiful in how it breaks them into their core selves." The setup for a potential season 6 will totally depend on how season 5 ends — and how it affects Beth, Rip, and the rest of the family.

Is Kevin Costner in Yellowstone season 5 part 2?

Paramount

No Kevin Costner is not in the second half of Yellowstone season 5, and we find out the fate of his character John Dutton immediately. When Beth and Kayce find John dead in the bathroom, Beth immediately suspects foul play and blames it on Jamie.

Due to delays from the writer's strike, and a tug-of-war between Paramount saying Costner couldn't film new episodes and Costner saying creator Taylor Sheridan took too long to write the scripts, the actor chose to leave the series, reportedly in part to promote his Horizon movie franchise.

“I gave this thing five seasons,” the actor told The Hollywood Reporter. “I was really happy to do it. And I don’t need drama. So, let’s just take that drama away, let’s take the guessing [away]. The fans have been way too good to me. And my obligation is to go on and continue to make things that mean something to them.”

22 Flavorful Soups From Around The World To Try Right Now

During bouts of cold weather, nothing warms you down to your toes quite like a good soup. From spicy soup recipes to more mild creations, soup is nourishing, warming and often packed with nutritious ingredients. Tomato soup recipes are a classic choice here in the U.S., but maybe you’re in the mood for something a little more… exotic. Lucky for you, soup is a staple in all corners of the globe. Try these 22 soup recipes from around the world next time you feel like jetting off to new (and perhaps warmer) climates.

Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup

This one-pot Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup is so simple and the perfect bowl to spice things up with salsa verde, poblano peppers, jalapeños, and shredded chicken. Taco seasoning and ground cumin top it off with amazing flavor. Add salty tortilla chips and even lime zest for a magical soup to cozy up to mid-winter. (via Half Baked Harvest)

Easy Homemade Wonton Soup

Though the concept of making homemade wontons may seem intimidating, this delicious soup is actually pretty easy to pull together. Ready in just 40 minutes, it boasts the flavors of authentic pork dumplings, shrimp and fresh veggies. (via Jessica Gavin)

New England Clam Chowder

For something a little closer to home, whip up a bowl of New England clam chowder. You’ll need bacon, pork, potatoes, an array of spices and, of course, clams. The fresher the fish, the better — but if you live somewhere without access to fresh clams, you can sub in canned clams instead. (via A Family Feast)

Manhattan Clam Chowder

Alternatively, you could try Manhattan’s version of clam chowder if you’re craving a yummy seafood stew. The difference between New England and Manhattan clam chowders lies in the soup itself — New England chowder features a white, cream-based soup, while Manhattan style is broth-based. (via Baker by Nature)

Chicken Dumpling Soup

Curb your cravings for a cozy comfort soup with this well-rounded meal that nourishes with tender chicken, fluffy cooked dumplings, and a flavorful creamy broth. (via Real Food Dietitians)

Turkish Tarhana Soup

Mix things up with this popular Turkish soup made with fermented dough and a tomato base, mint, and garlic. (via Give Recipe)

15-Minute Curry Noodle Soup

Curries are popular throughout Asia, particularly in countries like India and Thailand. This quick and easy curry soup is ready in just 15 minutes, and features rice vermicelli noodles. (via The Woks of Life)

Italian Wedding Soup

This Italian-American soup is often served at all manner of Italian restaurants here in the states, but its name is misleading. It’s not traditionally served at weddings in particular… instead, the name refers to the “marriage” of greens and broth. (via Jo Cooks)

Hearty Mulligatawny Soup

This simpler version of the famous mulligatawny soup is made with leftover roast chicken or turkey. Part Indian, part British, this soup is aromatic, mildly spicy, and so comforting. (via Vikalinka)

Vegan Tortellini Soup

This hearty, delicious soup won't take more than 45 minutes and is packed with vegetables, cheesy tortellini, spicy plant-based sausage and lots of flavor! (via Crowded Kitchen)

Spanish Bean Soup

This traditional Spanish soup is made with chickpeas, andouille sausage, onion, olive oil and red potatoes. If you’re more in the mood for spicy chorizo, substitute that instead. Either way, this soup will be nourishing, mildly spicy and *packed* with flavor. (via The Noshery)

French Onion Soup

Is there anything more delicious than a rich French onion soup topped with crunchy croutons and tons of cheese? We think not! This recipe showcases the flavors of French onion soup to delicious effect. We recommend using gruyere, asiago, Swiss or mozzarella cheese (or any combo of those four). (via Gimme Some Oven)

Easy Mexican Pozole

Pozole is a Mexican soup boasting the flavors of hominy and pork. There are red versions and green versions. This particular version is made with red sauce and is super easy to whip up in a jiff. (via The Spice Kit Recipes)

Turkey Avgolemono Soup

This traditional Greek recipe is made with turkey, rice and a little bit of lemon, making for a delicious comfort food that’s both warming and totally invigorating. In fact, you only need five ingredients to make this delicious, authentic soup. That’s right, FIVE. (via The Kitchn)

Cuban Black Bean Soup

Healthy and hearty, this black bean soup is graced with the flavors of black pepper, olive oil and garlic, and comprised of ham and black beans. It’s as nourishing as it is tasty, and can easily be garnished with Greek yogurt in lieu of sour cream in order to make it even healthier. (Of course, that will take away the authenticity of the dish, but we’ll let you decide.) (via The Kitchn)

Creamy Coconut Soup With Cauliflower

This soothing soup is a great way to get veggies into your day in a healthy and hearty way. (via Clean Cuisine)

Ribollita

Now, if you’re looking for a quick and easy dish, this Tuscan soup recipe isn’t for you — it takes roughly three days to make if you want to go the traditional route. Ribollita literally means “reboiled,” so this is a great recipe to make ahead of time and then reboil right before you’re ready to serve it. (via 31 Daily)

Hot and Sour Soup

This traditional Chinese recipe is warming, tasty and packed with nutritious ingredients. We particularly recommend adding kimchi on top, as it’s fermented and therefore contains natural probiotics. Pro tip: To make this vegan, just use veggie broth. (via The Kitchn)

Locro de Papa

Locro de Papa is an Ecuadorian cheesy potato soup that will warm you to your toes and fill you right up. It features annatto, a regional spice that you’ll have to find in an ethnic or Mexican grocery store. But trust us — it will be worth the extra effort. (via Curious Cuisiniere)

Vietnamese Beef Noodle Pho

Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup that is often steeped for *days* in order to get the best broth flavor. However, you can make it much more quickly by taking a few shortcuts. In terms of beef, the best cuts for this noodle soup are sirloin steak, round eye or London broil. (via The Kitchn)

One-Pot Lasagna Soup

Got 30 minutes? This soup version of the Italian classic is the perfect, hearty, comfort food with ground beef, noodles, a tomato-based broth, and a delicious three-cheese topping. (via Averie Cooks)

Easy Homemade Ramen

Last but not least is perhaps America’s most beloved ethnic soup: ramen. Once you’ve made a homemade savory ramen with fresh veggies, noodles and boiled eggs, you’ll never go back to the instant store-bought version. EVER. (via Damn Delicious)
