To say I was shocked to learn that the State Department included Arizona in its section on Immigration in the paper the State Department presented to the Human Rights Commission. Surely, I misheard this. No way would the State Department include one of its own states on such a list to the United Nations. I [...]

In the recent special on an “honor killing” in Texas, an activist, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, spoke out about the treatment of women in Islam. Hirsi Ali knows a lot about how women are treated having grown up in Somalia, Saudi Arabia, and Kenya. She has survived the genital mutilation that was (is) common in her [...]

You may have heard recently about the Somali man who broke into Durch cartoonist, Kurt Westergaard, to kill him for his depiction of Mohammad in one of his cartoons. Fortunately, he was arrested, and is being charged with attempted murder. What you may NOT have heard was the connection between this same man and Hillary [...]

I have thought what I would write about after my post on my beloved Sweetie (and I have been out of town helping to get my mom’s new Assisted Living unit set up for her this weekend). Honestly, I didn’t want to go off on anything or anyone today. Fortunately, thanks to NQ artist, Pat [...]

Faithful NQ reader, CG, mentioned recently that the Washington Post actually did a very nice article on Secretary Clinton’s recent trip to Africa. Well, you coulda knocked me over with a feather. This morning, in my daily “DipBlog” from the State Department, sure enough, there it was, along with a link to an interactive map [...]

Judith Warner penned an excellent article in the NY Times on Friday, “Hillary Fights a Tide of Trivialization.” She speaks of the vital mission that Secretary Clinton was engaged in while touring Africa, to promote the rights of women and children and also build bonds with partners and allies. Warner points out the American media [...]

Secretary Clinton does it again. Stands up for women, that is. Here is a brief clip of her speaking in the Democratic Republic of Congo as she continues on her trip through Africa: As she has done for so many years, Hillary Clinton speaks out for, and stands with, women and children, calling out those [...]

I was reading my local paper and came across an article that disturbed me greatly, for a number of reasons, which will become clear beginning with the title of the article: “Ex-Teacher Gets 5 Years For Sex With Teen.” My first thought was, “5 years? FIVE? That’s it? For having sex with a teenager?” Then [...]

In today’s age of technology, when government and companies are getting better at guarding the electronic gates, sometimes the easiest way to score a big heist is to come right through the front door in a mailbag. It seems someone stole $2 million from the WV State Auditor’s office using nothing more than letters sent [...]

Embedded video from CNN Video Below, you’ll see a fascinating description of the immense expanse of water — I heard that the coast of Somalia is as large as the entire U.S. Eastern coastline (!), and this video is even more descriptive:

(bumped up from afternoon) For today’s A.P. story, “Obama draws praise, but piracy escalation feared,” Larry Johnson was telephoned and interviewed extensively by London-based A.P. reporter Gregory Katz: [...] Some military strategists believe it may ultimately be necessary to attack the pirates’ base in Somalia, much as the British used to do two centuries ago.

Pirates Hold At Least 200 Captives. The International Maritime Bureau reports on piracy worldwide and now updates daily (weekly is no longer enough) to track the threats along the Somalia and Tanzania coast. The high stakes Obama administration drama with the Maersk Alabama Captain Richard Phillips is just a small piece of the gigantic [...]

(bumped up from Friday early evening) Boy, there is a garbage truck load of nonsense being bandied about on the blogs and media about what can and should be done to respond to the piracy against the U.S. flagged ship in the Indian Ocean. So permit me to try to clear up some of the [...]
