    Everyone can learn from - one of our nation's smartest, toughest, and most successful diplomats. Her book pulls back the curtain on historic negotiations, and has plenty of lessons for where we need to go.

    Excited that September 4, I get to lift the curtain on international diplomacy and share life lessons of courage, power, persistence, and more that prepared me for this high-stakes world. Successful negotiations are "Not for the Faint of Heart."

    I didn't realize that people were supposed to respond to "verbal commands" from complete strangers when they're in their own apartment.

    Officials probing the death of 26-year-old Botham Jean, who was shot and killed in his own apartment by an off-duty Dallas police officer, said that the Jean did not respond to “verbal commands” from the officer

    Occasional reminder that Obama had to rescue the American economy from the worst crisis since the Great Depression while Trump brags about the economic momentum that he inherited from Obama.

    This man seems to have been sent out there specifically to trash-talk the country's fortunes under Obama. Interesting

    The ICC will be around long after the Trump Administration is gone

    John Bolton: :We will not cooperate with the ICC. We will provide no assistance to the ICC. We will not join the ICC. We will let the ICC die on its own. After all, for all intents and purposes, the ICC is already dead to us."

    There was a video that sparked violent unrest across the Middle East for weeks. Jordan fueled Benghazi conspiracy theories for years to damage Hillary Clinton. He also did nothing to stop sexual misconduct at Ohio State. There is such a thing as objective truth.

    At the same time that Kris Paronto, Ty Woods, and Glenn Daugherty were fighting for their lives in Benghazi, Clinton and State Dept were spinning a narrative blaming the attack on a video. This must be the “wild conspiracy” that was talking about. 10:08 9/11/12:

    Obama never said that and the recovery that you inherited began years ago because of Obama's leadership.

    “President Trump would need a magic wand to get to 4% GDP,” stated President Obama. I guess I have a magic wand, 4.2%, and we will do MUCH better than this! We have just begun.

    This immoral strategy is helped when you have an entire political party which exists to enable your worst behavior while controlling the branch of government that is supposed to conduct oversight of you.

    Conspiracy theories, demonization of political opponents, incompetence, waste of taxpayer dollars, evisceration of domestic norms, potential corrupt collusion with foreign entities: a glimpse at the rotten core of Trumpism.

    A memo titled “The Echo Chamber” circulated within Trump’s NSC. It read like a military intelligence officer’s analysis of an insurgent network. Instead of describing enemies in a distant war zone, this “network” was made up of Obama aides. W/

    Taking racial Fox News identity politics global is not a good look for the United States and will only accelerate China's expanding influence in Africa.

    I have asked Secretary of State to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.”

    The Republican message seems to be: 1) the crime doesn't count if it's not a Russia crime, 2) if Trump committed a crime with Russia it's not a crime.
