HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Samoan police have charged a prominent playwright with the murder of retired UH professor Caroline Sinavaiana-Gabbard, former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s aunt. Police say Samoan playwright Papalii Sia Figiel, 57, was charged with the murder at her home. She was initially arrested on manslaughter charges, but police upgraded the charge after finding “incriminating” evidence, including a small knife and hammer. A motive is still under investigation. Media outlets report the two women were colleagues and friends, and that Gabbard was Figiel’s mentor.

Caroline Kennedy lost her Ambassador post in Japan when Trump took office. He sent her packing and hasn’t even bothered to name a replacement. But according to the New York Post, she’s not done with public service. Kennedy is planning to run for the U.S. senate in 2018. First, she’s going to be penning a memoir, but then she’ll be getting down to work. She plans to follow in the footsteps of her uncle Robert Kennedy, and run for a New York senate seat. She plans to target the seat of Democratic Senator Kristen Gillibrand. Or she could run for...

PLANO, Texas — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was asked by a pastor at a Texas presidential forum Sunday how individuals can pray for him — and the final point in his third-pronged response hit home with the church crowd. “How can we pray for you and your family?” Prestonwood Baptist Church pastor Jack Graham asked Cruz. “You know I’d say three things: peace and wisdom,” the Texas senator replied, “But then also especially you pray for our girls. Our girls Caroline and Catherine are here somewhere.” As Cruz’s family was spotted in the crowd and featured on the large screen,...

Talk in Kennedy circles is that Caroline Kennedy is furious over the revelation that a longtime confidant of Hillary Clinton’s secretly sabotaged her bid to become a US senator — and Kennedy may seek her revenge by backing veep Joe Biden if he runs for president. In June, leaked emails revealed that Hillary henchman Sidney Blumenthal had orchestrated news stories undermining Caroline while she was vying to be appointed to Hillary’s Senate seat in 2008.

CAROLINE GLICK: It’s really great to be here in Texas. I already managed to buy cowboy boots for my son, so I’m pretty much set. (Applause.) Anybody have any idea where we can get cowboy hats? I’d love to know. Then we’ll be done and can come back here when they’re 15. But it is a pleasure to be here, and thank you. And so now that I’ve gotten all the pleasantries and happiness in being in Texas out of the way, let’s talk about what’s really depressing. It’s amazing. You know, the Peace Process fell apart over the past...

Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick explained to WMAL this morning how Obama’s fecklessness over Syria has put Israel in danger, not because Israel needs the US to defend it from Syria, but rather how much it emboldens enemies like Iran who will no longer believe that American statements have any credibility. She also says that Obama has turned the United States into a global laughing stock with the way he’s gutted the American military for no rhyme or reason, how he’s essentially left Afghanistan to the Taliban, his support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt who is an enemy of...

There are not many women in their mid 50s who would confidently stride around in a bikini. But Caroline Kennedy hit the beach in St. Barts yesterday and proudly displayed her great figure. The 54-year-old author and member of the Camelot dynasty showed off her toned stomach in a purple two piece and had an idyllic afternoon on the French Caribbean island. She spent time splashing around in the ocean before relaxing on the sand with her husband Edwin Schlossberg, 66, and two of their three children. The couple, who have been married for 25 years but are rarely...

Jackie Kennedy is back, but the world she knew as first lady is gone forever. The woman Mamie Eisenhower said looked "younger than Barbie," the fashion icon who didn't want to wear hats but capitulated at Jack's inauguration with a chic pillbox worn on the back of her head so it wouldn't ruin her bouffant hairdo, the widow who described her husband's administration as Camelot, a romantic notion as fanciful as the legend from which it was based, speaks again through a gossamer haze of pre-feminist politics. The seven-part interview the former first lady gave to historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr.,...

Here's Carline Glick writing about Thursday's terror attacks along the Egyptian border north of Eilat. Since the Palestinian terror war began in 2000, then-Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak did almost nothing to prevent massive arms smuggling by Palestinian terror groups through Sinai. The Palestinians - from Hamas, Fatah and Islamic Jihad - were assisted by Sinai Beduin as well as by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and Hezbollah. Mubarak also did next to nothing to prevent human and drug trafficking from Sinai into Israel and Gaza. Mubarak did, however, protect the Egyptian regime's control over Sinai by among other things sealing the...

Wednesday I was featured on IBA's English news magazine Closeup with Leah Zinder. Here's the entire program.

Caroline Schermerhorn, a longtime writer for Envoy Magazine, died of cancer on September 11, 2009. A young wife and mother of six, she was always happy and laughing and cheerfully at the center of so many circles of family, friends, and parish life. That she is gone now is an ache I feel every day; many times throughout the day. I cannot begin to imagine the anguish her husband, children, and family have been experiencing at her loss. I only worked with her. They lived with her. If I feel an ache, the pain they are feeling now must be...

In the end, Caroline Kennedy's teenage children convinced her to get out of the running for the U.S. Senate, a new exposé on America's most storied political family reveals. "Mom, you are above this," older daughter Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, 19, reportedly told her mom last Jan. 21 - hours before Kennedy called Gov. Paterson to end her bid for Hillary Clinton's old Senate seat. The report in Vanity Fair magazine details for the first time what became a pivotal family meeting during which all three of Kennedy's children expressed worry over her sudden detour into electoral politics. Citing an unnamed...

The Vatican has blocked the appointment of Caroline Kennedy as US ambassador, according to reports. Vatican sources told Il Giornale that their support for abortion disqualified Ms Kennedy and other Roman Catholics President Barack Obama had been seeking to appoint. Mr Obama was reportedly seeking to reward John F Kennedy's daughter, who publicly gave her support to his election bid. She had been poised to replace Hillary Clinton as New York senator, but dropped out amid criticism that she lacked enough experience for the job.

Thus far, the young Obama regime has been marred by three major dust-ups relating to three different things: the tax-skipping schemes involving nominees to the Cabinet, the flap over the disposal of his Illinois seat in the Senate, and the disposal of the Senate seat of New York's Hillary Clinton, involving a row among four or more dynasties, in which the Princess of Camelot found herself dissed. Nonetheless, the news that Illinois appointee Roland Burris is now in hot water opens a happy solution: oust the now-tainted Burris from his place in the Senate, and give it to Caroline Kennedy....

An "apoplectic" Kennedy family is seething over the rough treatment that heiress apparent Caroline got from Gov. Paterson's office and is spoiling for revenge, several sources close to the clan have told The Post. "The governor's going to pay for this," said a well-placed Democrat. "Ted is furious. The family is furious. The Kennedys are now against the governor." Among Paterson's offenses was a request that Caroline lie about her unexpected withdrawal for "personal" reasons, according to NY magazine. "You can't withdraw. You've got to stay in this thing, and I'll just not pick you," Paterson reportedly told her over...

I say, "but Senora, I no know how to do this blog and have many towels to fold." And then she is angry and say, "I no care, just do this. I am late for appointment at Sachs."</p>

Caroline “Like, You Know” Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, the first Catholic philanderer elected to the nation’s highest office, has been dumped by the Democratic Party, ending her errant quest to fill the Senate seat in New York state vacated by Hillary Clinton. Clinton, a hero of the U.S. military intervention in Bosnia during the 1990s, was yesterday confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the new Secretary of State for the administration of ‘President’ Barack Hussein Obama, the second adolescent boy chosen by the mainstream media to be the American president in the last 20 years. Kennedy,...
