Here’s wishing a very Happy Birthday to Hillary Clinton — Secretary of State, Senator from New York, First Lady of the United States, First Lady of Arkansas, first female major-party presidential nominee, a practicing lawyer and law professor, author, novelist, mother, activist, volunteer, trailblazer and one of the smartest and kindest persons on the planet.
A few birthday greetings —
From Bill in Portland Maine at www.dailykos.com/...
CHEERS to a woman who had to debate Republicans with 90 percent of her brain switched off just to make it a fair fight. Happy 74th birthday (and many blessings on your camels) to Hillary Rodham Clinton, the only human in world history who can boast of having First Lady, United States Senator, Secretary of State, and first female major-party presidential nominee on her resume. She should have “45th president” on it, too, having clocked Trump in every debate, secured every major newspaper endorsement, run on positions far more popular than Trump’s, possessed more brainpower by a factor of a gazillion, and handily won the popular vote.
Hillary the Novelist
Hillary’s new novel “State of Terror” came out two weeks ago and is #1 on Amazon right now.
From www.simonandschuster.com/… -
From the #1 bestselling authors Hillary Clinton and Louise Penny comes a novel of unsurpassed thrills and incomparable insider expertise—State of Terror.
After a tumultuous period in American politics, a new administration has just been sworn in, and to everyone’s surprise the president chooses a political enemy for the vital position of secretary of state.
There is no love lost between the president of the United States and Ellen Adams, his new secretary of state. But it’s a canny move on the part of the president. With this appointment, he silences one of his harshest critics, since taking the job means Adams must step down as head of her multinational media conglomerate.
As the new president addresses Congress for the first time, with Secretary Adams in attendance, Anahita Dahir, a young foreign service officer (FSO) on the Pakistan desk at the State Department, receives a baffling text from an anonymous source.
Too late, she realizes the message was a hastily coded warning.
What begins as a series of apparent terrorist attacks is revealed to be the beginning of an international chess game involving the volatile and Byzantine politics of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran; the race to develop nuclear weapons in the region; the Russian mob; a burgeoning rogue terrorist organization; and an American government set back on its heels in the international arena.
As the horrifying scale of the threat becomes clear, Secretary Adams and her team realize it has been carefully planned to take advantage of four years of an American government out of touch with international affairs, out of practice with diplomacy, and out of power in the places where it counts the most.
To defeat such an intricate, carefully constructed conspiracy, it will take the skills of a unique team: a passionate young FSO; a dedicated journalist; and a smart, determined, but as yet untested new secretary of state.
State of Terror is a unique and utterly compelling international thriller cowritten by Hillary Rodham Clinton, the 67th secretary of state, and Louise Penny, a multiple award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling novelist.
