The summer after I graduated from the police academy I was asked to give a speech for our city’s July 4th celebration about women in service to our country. I was honored. Through my research I was amazed with the history of women fighting for the United States and serving our country. For National Women’s [...]

* Bumped up * Remember back in April when Obama traveled to the G-20 and bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia? If not, here it is: Actually, that doesn’t look as much like a bow as it does a genuflect. Not, true, says Obama’s Spokes Weasel, Robert Gibbs. Oh, no – it is just [...]

This week. We have a tsunami in American Samoa and Samoa, with a typhoon hitting the Philippines. Add to that an earthquake, a MAJOR earthquake, in Indonesia.

You’ve been reading Pat’s posts and you’ve seen the advertisement for his new Civil War book, along with that great video of his superb testimony on behalf of Valerie Plame Wilson and the egregious conduct of the Bush operatives in exposing her and her undercover work.

The failure of the London G20 to reach agreement about protectionism, tariffs, retaliation and the clear cliff-diving of world trade may or may not be related to the civil unrest in Bangkok and throughout Thailand.

BELOW THE FOLD: Hillary on Burma and Hillary’s view of how U.S. policy is adversely affecting the desperate Burmese people … and Zakaria on economic sanctions.

Hillary is a SMASHING HIT in Indonesia, as you will see in the videos below.
