The mainstream media speculated about Ronald Reagan’s mental fitness, Dick Cheney’s heart, and whether John McCain could have a cancer relapse.
But reporters seem to be giving a free pass to major health issues surrounding Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Clinton has a history of potentially serious blood clots — and is currently taking one of the most unpredictable prescription drugs on the market today.
Health questions have swirled around Clinton since a December 2012 fall that caused a concussion and led to a subsequent diagnosis of a blood clot near her brain. Clinton was knocked so hard she was seeing double for months – and had to wear glasses with special lines in them just so she could see straight.
Conservative political pundit Karl Rove was one of many who speculated that Clinton may have suffered brain damage in the fall.
Over the summer, Clinton tried to dismiss the persistent questions about her health by releasing a statement from her doctor that concludes: “She is in excellent physical condition and fit to serve as President of the United States.”
But the letter, which runs nearly two pages, could lead voters to draw the opposite conclusion – because it raises more issues than it answers, especially about Clinton’s clot history and the fact that she’s taking one of the most dangerous medications on the planet.
It’s a blood thinner called Coumadin (warfarin) and it’s so deadly it’s been used as rat poison.
In humans, anyone taking it, even a president – especially a president – requires constant supervision, including regular tests to ensure the blood doesn’t get too thin.
When it does, you could literally bleed to death.
The risk is so great that a senior is rushed to the ER for a warfarin complication every 15 minutes, or more than 33,000 times a year. That makes warfarin responsible for more ER trips due to adverse events than any other drug, by far.
Even more concerning, this drug’s side effects include severe headaches, fainting, coughing up blood, confusion, slurred speech and more.
Clinton appears to be prone to clots, which can lead to a stroke — something the media has talked little about. Her own doctor admitted that she suffered at least three clots (that we know of) in recent years. This included deep vein thrombosis in 1998 and 2009 (which usually occurs in the legs), and the third clot in 2012 that affected a vein that drains blood from the brain.
That clot could have led to a potentially fatal brain hemorrhage or stroke, doctors say.
Dr. Larry Goldstein, director of Duke University’s stroke center, told the Associated Press that getting this type of clot was “not the most common thing” after a concussion. He explained that the clot formed in “a drainage channel, the equivalent of a big vein inside the skull” that brings blood back to the heart.
Clinton’s campaign wants the public to believe this was a one-time scare – but given Clinton’s history of stretching the truth, it seems her health issues deserve a more serious look.

Jay Bell says
Any blockage of blood flow “inside the skull” is a CVA (cerebrovascular accident) and that is a STROKE! They can rearrange the language anyway that they like but the truth is that Hillary had a stroke. Giving her Coumadin (the pharmaceutical brand name for one type of Warfarin) is often reserved for those who have the complicating factor of atrial fibrillation which also predisposes those patients to further strokes. Unfortunately, giving Coumadin also predisposes to cerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) which is an even more serious stroke. If Hillary is elected, the stress of being President could kill her–if the campaign doesn’t get her.
Her docs have probably told her that she cannot campaign hard–the likely reason for turning Bill “the big dog” loose in N.H. They kept Bill quiet during Hillary’s last campaign for the Presidency in 2008, but he is better than nothing–maybe–if he doesn’t make any big bloopers. Debbie Washerwoman Schultz has warned Hillary’s opponents that they had better not attack Bill, as it would likely not turn out well. Isn’t it nice that she is so concerned about Bill’s critics? *sarcasm off* The real reason is that they know Bill is most likely to make some stupid remark when pressed by criticism.
Aached Haazmatt says
She isn’t getting in anyway. BTW for the author to call Carl Rove a “conservative” is an oxy-MORON. Emphasis on MORON. He is a RINO deluxe.
Meli C. says
I agree – it’s the first thing I think of when he’s on FOX. He’s no conservative by any stretch of the imagination – same as all of the Bush’s. I’m sure Rove came up with the ‘Compassionate Conservative’ phrase – really?? Not even close!
Sal Belardo says
Of course Carl Rove was correct! She is a Liberal Democrat and we all know that Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. But today they call themselves Progressives. What’s progressive is their Mental Disorder!
willr3 says
I have to say I have not agreed with Karl Rove in years, but he may be on to something here. Trump has a two prong attack against her. One is the Woman issue. He should add that she gets a lot of support from the muslim brotherhood fronts like ISNA , CAIR and others. She claims to be a big women’s rights candidate. The world can see hos the muslims treat women. ISIS is the worst, but they are all bad. ISIS gets 20% of its revenue in the slave trade, and in extortion. They are very big in the Sex Slave trade. How can a female candidate condone such action by making islamist her financial supporters.
The other point Mr Trump is using is whether or not she is able to fulfill the role. Indirectly he is focusing on her poor health. It is clear she has problems there, and he points out JEb is Low Energy and Hillary doesn’t have the stamana to perform the job. He is the clear winner across the board.
Wumingren says
Rat poison for a rat … sounds perfect to me. Old Bubba might get ideas about that … mixes up a special batch of New Year’s cheer (eggnog perhaps) … washes out the glass and replaces it with a diffetent one that has only her finger and pucker lip marks on it, and not an iota of foreign substance on it.
Of course, there is always a chance that someone had already shoved Coumadin into a pack of cinnamon sticks. Bubba could take a bow from a distance with hands “clean” and thumbs twiddling … or whatever diddling.
RM says
I’m not worried about coumadin, depending on who her VP is.
It’s ALL THE ROT between her ears and that INSATIABLE NEED TO LIE that worries me the most.
Jeffrey says
It’s the rot between her ears that has caused all of her problems!
Jeffrey says
It’s the rot between her ears that has caused all of her problems!
PastorEd says
I would not wish anyone poor health, even one as wicked at HRC. Nevertheless, if you watch her when she walks, she is always reaching to a stable object (chair, table, rail, another person) to help her keep her balance.
Disgusted says
Does she have a head tilt?
Irving M Blatt, MD, FACS says
I have been emailing an alleged and observed clinical impression to any American political enclave, that Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton, working to secure the American Democratic Political Party’s nomination for USA President as “Hillary Clinton”, may have residual intracranial damage from a fall resulting in subdural hematoma. It is alleged and observed that she may have brain damage that can be seen as “inappropriate affect”, a behavioral medical sign that Hillary should be evaluated by a neuro-psychiatrric workup to include a complete neurological and behavioral medical workup. Such, should include EEG, imaging evaluation by CT Scanning and MR. A medical report should be issued thereafter. It is alleged and observed that such a person with above described medical history should not be considered for any appointive or elective public office that serves the American Nation, if mentally and somatically impaired from such an injury. Parenthetically, this could provide President Obama the opportunity to run for a 3rd term.
Dr. Blatt.
tracey says
Under no circumstances can a President run for. Third term
Jay Bell says
Yeah–Presidents are term-limited (as Congressmen should be).
Steve Dolyniuk says
Tracey & jay. With our corrupt people in Washington DC , anything is possible. What about the ILLEGAL in the Presidents Office? If I am not mistaken, FDR served for two & a half or three terms.
Jay Bell says
Term-limits for the Presidency were put in place AFTER Franklin Roosevelt’s Presidency. We need term-limits for Congress too. That would lessen the corruption in D.C. Of course, we as the people could impose term-limits ourselves by refusing to vote for any incumbents in Congress after they have served two terms. Easy, simple.
Jay Bell says
Unless she fell as a result of the blood clot in her brain, Doctor. And that would be my speculation. They very likely lied about it because her super-wealthy, globalist sponsors (Soros, Blumenthal, et. al.) want to use her as their puppet President and they could have a complete vegetable for that purpose. Watch who she picks as her running mate–the globalists are never without a backup plan. She just has to make it for the next year or so. I figure all she really cares about is being picked as the First Women President. Can’t imagine that she thinks she will make it through a Presidency.
SUPERTECH says
PRESIDENT OBAMA WOULD HAVE A “LIFE TERM” AVAILABLE TO HIM IF HE DECLARED MARTIAL LAW,
AND IF IT WAS STILL IN EFFECT AT AND AFTER THE ELECTION. HE DOES NOT HAVE TO GIVE UP THE OFFICE IF THE USA IS IN A STATE OF TURMOIL AND MARTIAL LAW, PER PRESIDENTIAL DECREE- I LEAVE IT TO YOU TO FIND WHO SIGNED IT IN! ***SUPERTECH
John says
Folks, stop the third-term talk. Obama would like that scenario but, I suspect he does not want to be a martyr as it applies to Muslim philosophy and the prospects of “virgins”. The Patriots will not let that happen.
Michael Hilton says
Your other thoughtful comments aside, I don’t see how you can conclude that it could lead to Obama running for a third term.
ray says
Nice vocabulary but all in all even if Hillary had the structure of a 20 year old, she is still unfit to become president. It seems funny in a way that, her e-mail and other scandals are closing in on her and she seems to be unhealthy…if and when the FBI gets all the dope they need to convict Hillary, jail time will surely kill her if she is in the shape some people claim her to be.
Trump is the only true candidate who can fill the shoes of our next commander in chief in 2016……
Pull the Trump lever for a better America…….
Aarrila says
OMG! As a Canadian watching “reality TV this mysoginistic a.o., no matter if billionaire or gratuitous ass, NO one in their right mind should consider that man fit to “deal” with international leaders of state!! He’s more likely to treat them as an ‘apprentice’ than an leader of another country especially one that could rein bombs down on, not only USA but Canada too!!
GET really REAl. This Trump guy is no more than a walking butt no more capable of running the US than any dog who pees on every each & every fire hydrant OR tree/bush encountered. thinking to himself for that second – “Mine! Mine!
Mine! “.
Jay Bell says
Canadians can butt out of the conversation please–you don’t really understand as much about the U.S. as you think you do.
John says
Canadians need to tend to their own business. You have the population of one of our states . You are welcome in Florida during the winter and welcome to come to America for health care that your socialistic govt. can’t provide. Butt out!!!!!!! JHMC
DixieBelle says
After the radical dog that was just elected as Canada’s new leader, I would think that all Canadians would hide in shame, rather than voicing an opinion as to who the US should or should not vote for.
Stephen Russell says
If elected, she dies in office?? only outcome IF elected.
Wumingren says
Media had better press hard now to get to Bill (and Hillary whenever she is not completely cocooned by her handlers) for all they can get. Once she takes the throne, she’ll be in reachable and untouchable. The old crone could be a dead and stuffed, seen on a high balcony, with animatronic equipment to make her look real (extra air handlers installed to dissipate her special scent).
Charles Imwold says
Hillary Rotten Clinton has had a stroke per my optometrists . He noticed she was wearing a corrective lens on her right eye . The lens had horizontal lines running through the lens indicating to the optometrists Hillary Rotten Clinton had a stroke .
John says
If this is the case which it probably is, her doctor who wrote the report should go to jail for a long time for false information
Jay Bell says
Well, it wasn’t exactly false, on the part of her doc. The only “truth-stretching” part might be that they claimed the fall caused the clot when I’m betting that the clot caused the stroke and the subsequent fall.
Steve Dolyniuk says
jay: Actually, she was more then likely born with brain damage. She & Obama both. They can constantly tell lies, & it does not bother them a bit, because they cannot tell the truth from a lie.
anita says
you bet that Doctor who covers up for her is paid big Hush money ,all she cares about is to be elected so she can be in the History Books ,she is a greedy power hungry BITCH ,only she matters according to her ,
Bill says
“… but given Clinton’s history of stretching the truth…” what an understatement, i.e., ‘stretching the truth’ is that a freaking joke? Hillary is on outright, bald-face, lying wench, who wouldn’t know the truth if it bit her on her ass, which might be fake as her recent make-over job, because she’s grown so ugly no one including Bill wants touch her! This probably explains why Bill was forced to take up with Monica, and the many others he’s been with in the past years, concerning ‘his sketchy past’ regarding his abominable behavior of serial of infidelities! Perhaps Bill and Hillary Clinton would prefer if Polygamy was the law of the land, since monogamy doesn’t seem to fit into their far left wing communist vocabulary! Who in hell would want them as role models for our children, that is the only question any of us need ask ourselves?
Jerry Moses says
With the conditions she apparently exhibits, she should not come anywhere near the Office of President of the United States.
She needs to be put out of her misery !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad that RAT poison isn’t working the way it should. It kills most rats.
Rick Worthngton says
Y’know Richard – your comment is just about the best I’ve read in this thread! Very well said!
Kevin Beck says
Considering that two of the individuals mentioned at the beginning of the article are still alive in spite of their health issues, and the other made it through his terms in office without major incident and lived past the age of 90, this may be muck ado about nothing. But it would not surprise me if all three were under close medical supervision during their terms in office, either.
As far aw we have been told, Hillary refuses attempts by medical personnel to be near her. And unlike the others mentioned, she refuses to talk about her medical history and possible shortcomings related to that history. With that in mind, I would be seriously concerned about these issues going forward. But the presstitutes? It’s like, “Never mind.”
Justin W says
Once you reach a certain age health issues become more serious. On election day Hillary will be 69, Donald Trump will be 70 and Bernie Sanders will be 75. All of these candidates can provide doctor statements vouching for their outstanding health, but age eventually catches up with everyone. Ronald Reagan was 69 when he was elected president. By time the Gipper’s second term ended George Bush and a host of other people were likely running the White House more than Reagan was. That came out in the Iran-Contra hearings.
Jim says
Most likely she’ll have to have a hysterectomy, if Bill brought home any little buddies on his Anthony (husband of Huma.) That is, the cancer-causing HPV – (assuming that Mr. Morris, a former FOB, isn’t right about Hellary “not being into men.”) It’s a small leap between cervical cancer and uterine cancer, and she’s at risk, as are any women with husbands who possess a lack of self-restraint.
That’s not the only health risk Hellary has, but it’s a serious one. Among the others, damage to the lining of arterial walls from various STDs that Billy Jeff might have brought home (on his Anthony) – which could contribute to the vascular issues listed in the article. This is just another form of Pay to Play.
Joy says
Warfarin was first used as rat poison. It cost my brotherinlaw his life. He hemmoraged to death in surgery at university hospital in ohio Doctors at a hospital in Phoenix refused to do the surgery due to his use of warfarin causing his blood to be too thin. He was only 52 when he died. Will HRC come clean about her health? Hell no. She never tells the truth.
Martha Wheeler says
I do not wish this condition on Hillary nor anyone else, but the voting public should definitely be aware of her potentially serious health issue! We ALL have the right to know!!
Deb Miller says
I don’t wish it on her either. Just can’t understand why she is putting herself through this nightmare political campaign when it could lead to a possible stroke or death! Why doesn’t she just focus on being the best “grandma” she can be. That sure would be a lot more rewarding than the political life she’s living now! Just bow out now Hillary, and save the rest of your life for your daughter and grandchildren who love you and need you, America really doesn’t!
c a Panek says
She won’t quit because the power hungry bitch is a narcissist. Nothing on this earth is more important to her than the power. Not even her life. If her life is not important, neither are the people of the USA. Go get a grip, and realize that she is “RAT BAIT”. I don’t wish her dead, just a LONG lonely vacation from the world.
CJOSIE says
I taken Coumadin for over 10 yrs. Millions of others take it as well. If the patient follows the guides of what to and not to eat has monthly blood tests things are fine. COMMON SENSE here please
Jay Bell says
It’s just a matter of statistics, CJOSIE. If Coumadin killed everyone (or even a large majority of people using it), it would long ago have been taken off the market. Nevertheless, the article is correct when it states the statistics about its use. It is not a drug that should be given or taken lightly. But, in addition, we should consider that candidates for the Presidency (not to mention, a President) are subject to unusual stresses–emotional shocks, lack of adequate sleep and rest, unhealthy food, lack of relaxation and exercise. And those stresses could be a killer for those who have serious chronic illness, as many medically-trained observers have stated that Hillary almost certainly has.
c a Panek says
Unusual stress? She married to Slick Willie.
Lack of sleep? Watch her eye lids closing when she looks at someone asking a question.
Unhealthy food? She’s a pizza junky and an alcoholic.
Lack of exercise? I don’t begrudge heavy women, but she hasn’t exercised in years. ( Her legs look swollen or elephantitus has set in. Guess Yoga didn’t work eather.
So maybe she is as sick as she appears.
Charles J. Caruso says
Hmmmm. . . .is the Horn News merely anti-Democratic, anti woman, or just an another department of the Donald Trump Multi Billion $$$ Business?
JK W says
That’s stupid as hell of you to say. Geez!!! Get a grip. Watch what your freaking saying. Dum Dum needs Gum Gum
Rick Worthngton says
Absolutely JKW…but not “GUM GUM” but GUN GUN ! That Charles Caruso should be banned from this thread for making such idiotic, outlandish, crass statements like that! However, I guess everyone’s entitled to his or her opinion – but people like that are, and should be, ignored!
JK W says
Hilldabeast is gross. She will lie and take money from Muslims (people that abuse women horribly) EVEN ON HER DEATHBED SHE’LL TAKE CASH AND LIE. CAN’T STAND HER. YUK YUK YUK
Jay Bell says
What utter nonsense, Charles J. Caruso. Anti-Democratic? Most people here feel that RINO Republicans are as bad as Democrats. Conservative Democrats often post favorably about Donald Trump here. Anti-woman? Many anti-Hillary women post here as well–I hope Hillary’s supporters really aren’t considering using the “anti-woman” card. The women in my family are insulted that Hillary is the choice of some to be The First Woman President. To quote one: “I think it is about time to have a woman President, but Hillary??–They must be kidding!” As for us being “another department of the Donald Trump Multi Billion $$$” I was just thinking that you must be a Soros-hired shill for Hillary.
c a Panek says
Not at all Charles Caruso. We don’t like Corrupt, Lying, narcissists, with an agenda to hurt the American people. Male or female.
imagicman says
well, we already know she’s insane.
Jay Bell says
I have always been put off by Hillary, but the most disturbing soundbite that I ever saw from her was her exultation over the extremely brutal death of Muammar Qaddafi. Her grinning delight, expressed as, “We came, we saw, he died.” was probably the most horrifying statement ever made by an American public official.
richard says
And her comment on bengas , (What difference does it make now?)
Ron H says
Most adults Billary’s age suffer from some sort of medical problems. The biggest issue with her is congenital. That covers her continuous lying and along with her inability to accomplish anything.
Richard Charles says
COUMADIN is why the long bathroom break. Think about it!!!
richard says
I think I know. She finished and couldn’t find her ass? Forgot where she was.
HermanK says
Well, Mr. Trump was right after all. He always says that she make one speech and disappears for 5 days to rest. Now we know why. I guess this is what you get for terrorizing women with the help of hired goons after your husband has violated them. God is great and he will make you pay for your deeds on earth.
Book called Clintons’ War on women by Roger Stone – great read.
raymond says
hopefully she will gust drop dead ?
Rick says
Hilary is not fit physically,mentally or most of all morally to be president. She is incompetent ,a liar and she won’t answer that call at 3 in morning just like Bengazi . In my opinion her bumper sticker should read Kilary for Prison!
Annie says
I think her health issue is a moot point, because,God forbid, if she would be elected, our country would once again be run from behind by Bill Clinton.
Just my opinion.
rodney says
good blow to the back of the head takes care of her. No, she’d probably die in her first year!. Sooner the better, the nation is better off without!
Rick says
In my opinion it’s Hilary for Prison! She is not fit mentally, physically , or morally and she won’t answer the phone at 3AM like she wouldnt answer the call from Benghazi.
Bob Schmidt says
Millions of seniors take warfarin and know more about it than the author. Trying to make it out to be a scary drug destroys the author’s credibility. Even water is dangerous if you drown in it. And more have died from drowning than warfarin.
I’m pro-Cruz anti-Hilary. But let’s get in touch with reality.
Jay Bell says
Bob, it isn’t that she takes Coumadin but what it suggests about her physical condition. Hillary is sick–she has had one stroke and could be cruising for another one, if subjected to the stress of a campaign and (God forbid) a Presidency. Stress always worsens every chronic illness.
Capt. Carrole says says
RE: Obama possible 3DR term…. He cannot run…but… look for actions he will take to keep his dictatorship in place…like setting up situations that gives him reason to declare marshal law — there can be no free election if marshal law is declared. Check it out. And, look hard at his recent actions and his policy of skipping Congress to do as he pleases, whether or not it is constitutional. He is not stupid … but most of us are … when we cannot see or foresee his agenda. I still have to wonder how the hell he gets to have several social security numbers and have it ignored. It has been clearly recognized that his current S.S. number belongs to a dead man and the Congress even knows the identity of that man, as well as the talking heads of Obama’s media roadies. Check it out. The S.S. Admin. keeps track of every S.S. # EVER ISSUED. My mother-in-law worked for the S.S. Admin. How does he get away with breaking the law? We bow our heads and pretend we do not see or hear or care. May GOD have mercy on our Souls. We may well be looking at another 4 years of Obama Rule.
Robert says
we shouldn’t even be having this discussion, IF THE FKN,BNCH IDTS, WOULD DO THEIR JOB she would be under the jail.SHE IS A KNOWN TRAITOR, A KNOWN THIEF, A KNOWN KILLER, INVOLVED WITH DRUGS,[MINA ARKANSAS] INVOLVED WITH ARMS SALES TO ENEMY AGENTS. AND A PROFESSIONAL BULLSHIT ARTIST SECOND TO NONE….
rum says
she is not seen favorable by the crypto IRA of Hyannis!!! …like Obama, plus they have a lot of enemies, she is not a pampered baby like Obama
AW says
She’s not healthy enough for the Presidency and would be a financial burden & liability to the AMERICAN TAX SLAVES!
If you ever studied the teachings of Chinese or Japanese Medicine, you would recognize that those “bags” under her eyes indicate a kidney burden or problem with overall health. Unfortunately, crooked American medicine would never admit to this.
