| In an emotional speech as she nears the end of her term of office, Hillary Clinton warned there would be “many sacrifices and losses” before daughters were “valued as sons” across the world, according to reporters traveling with the secretary of state. Clinton, speaking Thursday at Dublin City University in Ireland, was given a humanitarian award by the non-governmental organization Concern Worldwide, whose chief executive Tom Arnold hailed her as “one of the greatest” secretaries of state “in the history of the Republic. Clinton spoke about what human rights meant to her personally

Comments: It pains me to have a moron for Secretary of State. Part of her job is having the sophistication to accept that most of the world does not appreciate the worldview of Georgetown or the Upper West Side. Someone tell this abortion-loving nitwit that girls are butchered all over the world - enjoying the reproductive rights so beloved by Hildebeast.

She gives this speech in Dublin?? I think she needs to show her mettle by giving it in Riyadh, Islamabad or Beijing.
Of course, that will NEVER happen. She is such a transparent phoney. . .

If this were true, she´d be dead. No one can tolerate the pain she has brought to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, and other countries by allowing/encouraging theocracies to flourish.

Now she admits she is a "pain".
She has supported leaders of countries who have held women as less value to man. Now that she intends to start her work toward the next election she has decided to capture the woman´s vote. She could have stood up for women when her husband went around and used women as a useful tool for his physical needs. Yet, she kept quiet.

We are ruled by incompetent idiots supported by a dumbded down electorate as the result of the "importance of pop culture" that is on display daily by the print and broadcast media!
The destruction of our country is of less importance than what are the kardashians doing or matt daman´s opinion is.
As an older white male I often feel like I´m in the twilight zone!

For the love of all that´s holy don´t look at the picture. You´ll go blind.
There are so many brave women standing up to tyranny through out the world, putting their lives on the line. Hillary has stood by none of them.

Spend a few years in the M.E. and then get back to me about ´male-dominated countries´.
Liberals only engage soft targets.
Westerners have NO IDEA what middle eastern women must endure.
Their plight trivializes our most strident feminist rantings and well it should.
Go where the problem is.
How about "Feminists Without Borders" ?
Rent a bunch of ocean going ships and go confront the real monsters of sexism in the middle east and elsewhere.

Meh. Dublin?? So what, safe environment, no risk.
Now trot your big cow hips, thunder thighs, and fat bottom to Mecca and say this there... without a burka on too!! THAT would be risky and impressive and the act of a true patriot. Otherwise... just words, words as usual.

Culture trumps everything, and most of the world´s cultures do not value women at all. Witness how the Chinese and Indians slaughter girls in favor of boys even when the boy/girl ratio goes over 125/100. The families of the lucky girls who survive the womb still must pay dowries to their husbands.
From an economic view, it is nuts, but culture explains it all.

Before Congress is finished with the Internal Revenue Service, there’s a serious danger some of us are going to wind up feeling sorry for the auditors.And, honestly, that is not the way we were planning on spending the spring. Especially since it appears that there are people making decisions at the I.R.S. who have the intelligence of a wet Frisbee. But, so far, the Congressional hearings of outrage have been even less sympathetic. Perhaps you didn’t have time to spend much of your Friday watching the House Ways and Means Committee grill Steven Miller

Let’s try to come up with some positive thoughts about the recent political fortunes of the Obama White House: • Economy’s getting a little better. Deficit’s dropping. • Bill Clinton had a really terrible second term and look how well things turned out for him. • Nobody in the administration has been caught driving to Canada with Bo the dog strapped to the car roof. It’s been quite a week, what with the I.R.S. scandal, the Benghazi controversy and revelations about the Justice Department’s sweep of The Associated Press’s phone records.

Jason Richwine, the young conservative scholar who co-authored the Heritage Foundation report on the long-term costs of the amnesty bill backed by the “Gang of Eight,” is gone from Heritage. He was purged after The Washington Post unearthed his doctoral dissertation at the JFK School of Government. Richwine’s thesis: IQ tests fairly measure mental ability. The average IQ of immigrants is well below that of white Americans. This difference in IQ is likely to persist through several generations. And the potential consequences of this? “A lack of socioeconomic assimilation among low IQ immigrant groups

New Orleans police have released a video that shows a possible suspect in the shooting that wounded 19 people at a Mother´s Day parade. The surveillance video shows the crowd dispersing and some falling to the ground before one person in a white T-shirt and dark pants flees. The image of the man isn´t clear but police say they hope someone will recognize him. The wounded included 10 adult men and seven women as well as a boy and a girl, both 10.

On Fox News Sunday this morning, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol defended former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from partisan political attacks over the tragedy in Benghazi, while also urging non-partisan investigations into that incident and the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups during the 2012 election. Kristol denounced American Crossroads’ anti-Hillary ads, asking “What is the point of that?” and calling them “ridiculous.” “There’s no campaign going on,”Kristol continued, adding “Let’s pull the partisanship back. It’s genuine outrage. There should be bipartisan committees investigating both from Congress. So I wish the Republicans would just be quiet,

Daniel Snyder is owner of the Washington pro football team he grew up adoring. Would he ever consider changing the team name that many American Indians and others believe is a racial slur? "We will never change the name of the team," Snyder told USA TODAY Sports this week. "As a lifelong Redskins fan, and I think that the Redskins fans understand the great tradition and what it´s all about and what it means, so we feel pretty fortunate to be just working on next season." What if his football team loses an ongoing federal trademark lawsuit?

In the run-up to yesterday’s House hearings on Benghazi, we were struck by a column by The New York Times’ public editor. It was written in response to readers angry that the paper was not giving the Benghazi hearings the coverage they merited. After suggesting that such criticism was politically motivated and “fomented by Fox News,” the editor offered an interesting conclusion. “The Times,” she wrote, “has had a tendency to both play down the subject, which has significant news value, and to pursue it most aggressively as a story about political divisiveness rather than one about national security

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
