The current issue of Time Magazine has Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the cover, and an article by Joe Klein entitled, “The State of Hillary: A Mixed Record On The Job.” On Joe Scarborough the other morning, they discussed this article (major H/T to Bronwyn’s Harbor for the video):

By now, most everyone has heard that President Carter claimed people who don’t support Obama do so because they are racists. Wow. Obviously, this is shocking on the face of it. If you have not heard this, the video is below. I also recommend two very good posts on this topic, one [...]

Not too long ago, you may recall, I was on a cruise in the Mediterranean. One of our stops was in Egypt, and we spent the night in Cairo (the ship docked in Alexandria). We had a wonderful tour guide, a young woman named Rasha, seen above. Despite never having left Egypt, [...]

Talk about your marketing ploy, which I, along with others, have been doing for a while now (most recently, “The Campaign’s Over, Obama: It’s Time To Lead“). But the incomparable Chris Hedges has done a remarkable job at highlighting just exactly how true that is (and it is true - his campaign won the [...]

"The official with access to the transcripts said someone seeking help for the employees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, (AIPAC) a prominent pro-Israel lobbying group, was recorded asking Ms. Harman, a longtime supporter of its efforts, to intervene with the Justice Department. She responded, [...]

"Rep.

Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is making her first trip to the Middle East in her new capacity. No doubt, this trip will garner a lot of interest since she is meeting with both Israel and Palestine. And I imagine there will be no small amount of walking on eggshells for the Secretary [...]

And I’m not just talking politics. No, rather that I have slept on the sofa for over a week now to be close to our adopted stray, Lucy’s, whelping bed. As some of you may recall, her delivery was imminent. Only it wasn’t. Sigh. She just got bigger and bigger [...]

Anyone (like Barack Obama) entertaining ideas of western democracies establishing friendly relations with the radicals of the Islamic world should watch this video.
While watching the inflammatory rhetoric of the speaker, remember that this is not a jahidist from Iran but a professor from Kuwait - a country with every reason to be grateful to [...]

I was looking for a little sign of love, peace, and maybe the beginnings of a better future for some troubled spot on the planet. It’s rather like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Then I stumbled upon this small story in the New York Times. Maybe it means little and maybe it [...]

Peter Berkowitz’s essay in the latest issue of the Weekly Standard provides good insight into what I think is the strategic irresponsibility of those in Israel’s leadership who think that they can hold steady on a course that justifies failure on an [...]

First things first: Lest there be any confusion among New York Times reporters, here is what Hillary Clinton says at the conclusion of the press conference: “We are going to report to the President in the next day.” “We,” not “he.” (The full text is below the fold.)
Here is Reuters’ video [...]

UPDATE: This is not a personal indictment of anyone or any nation. It is information. Take it in, approve it, reject it. That is up to you alone. A reader found the YouTube.

Maybe here? And here? And here? And here? And here? And in dozens and dozens more stories here at No Quarter, where we provided 24/7 political coverage throughout the primaries and general election, focusing appropriate and highly-detailed attention on Barack Obama’s longtime relationships with radicals like Rashid Khalidi. The two men were (are?) close [...]

I realize that the U.S. Air landing in the Hudson was a miracle and required great thinking by the crew, heroism by crew, passengers and rescuers, and extensive prior training to save all lives. But I was also disgusted that the cable news outlets blacked out all other news stories today. And let’s face [...]

If the BBC is to be believed, IDF soldiers are deliberately shooting women and children in Gaza. Their TV reporting from the scene today interviewed doctors in hospitals who asked the obvious rhetorical question as to why they have children patients with multiple small arms wounds. One child had two bullets in the head. In the [...]

France is under seige, with numerous fire bombings of synagogues. A Jewish student group has reported “55 anti-Semitic attacks in France since Gaza attack,” according to Pakistan Dawn. Reuters reports that “faith leaders” across France from “Jewish, Muslim and Roman Catholic faiths,” have met with President Nicolas Sarkozy to issue a plea for calm.
