The WAG Brigade is a group of certified therapy dogs that the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals take to the San Francisco airport to greet passengers. They provide comfort, entertainment, and smiles to weary and stressed travelers. Most of the dogs also have duties at hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities that could use a friendly, people-oriented pet. The newest member of the WAG Brigade is different. She's a pig, named LiLou, who is a certified Animal Assisted Therapist (AAT)  and loves to interact with people. LiLou also has an extensive repertoire of tricks she performs for appreciative audiences.

According to the SFSPCA, "At a minimum, AAT pets must be solicitous and fully comfortable with handling. In other words, pets must be interested in and eager to approach people and accept handling, regardless of the person’s age, gender, race, size, mobility equipment usage, and apparel." LiLou nailed her training and is now dispatched to the airport once a month.

Women Should Be Included In The Draft Hillary Clinton Says

Hillary Clinton said she backs legislation requiring women to register for the draft, moments before the Senate voted in favor of the measure.

"I do support that," Clinton told The Huffington Post on Wednesday.

The provision would have little practical impact, at least in the short-term. The United States has relied on an all-volunteer army since 1973, which Clinton said she continues to favor.

"I am on record as supporting the all-volunteer military, which I think at this time does serve our country well," she said. "And I am very committed to supporting and really lifting up the men and women in uniform and their families."

But requiring women to register for the draft has become a symbolic measure for many lawmakers, buttressing the argument that there is not an inherent gender component to one's ability to serve in the military.

“I support it,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who served in the Air Force for years, told HuffPost last month. “I don’t think you want to take half your population off the sidelines in case of a national emergency.”

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) added that “it’s just a matter of time” until women are treated equally in the military.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

Police blocked access to part of L Street Monday afternoon as officers negotiated with a man barricaded in a car parked in the middle of the street in front of the Capitol.
The state Assembly shut down early, and the north entrance to the Capitol was closed.
“We don’t know why he has barricaded himself, and we’re currently trying to communicate with this individual to determine why he’s doing this,” said Sacramento Police spokesman Matthew McPhail. He said the department had not yet issued any evacuations.
Photos posted on Twitter showed a light gray car with a bicycle strapped to the top, the windows covered in brown paper. Pieces of paper with writing were taped inside the windshield.
Dozens of vehicles were stuck inside the city-owned parking lot on L street because it exits on 11th street, adjacent to the suspicious vehicle. Officials ultimately reversed traffic in the garage to allow vehicles to exit the entrance on 10th street.
McPhail said SWAT officers and negotiators were at the scene.
At the corner of 12th and L streets, police prepared two armored vehicles and several officers dressed in SWAT gear were standing by.
A sergeant was seen walking into the parking structure below the Capitol with two officers dressed in camouflage uniforms and carrying rifles.
Police on scene also deployed a robot.

US Air Force Just Deployed B-52 Bombers To Middle East!!!

Officials are reporting that the U.S. Air Force has deployed B-52 long-range bombers to the Middle East for the first time since the Gulf war ended over 25 years ago to begin striking the ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

 

The U.S. Air Force Central Command said in a statement that an unknown number of B-52s will be based at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The U.S.-led coalition’s Combined Air and Space Operations Center (CAOC) responsible for running the air war against ISIS is also based there, FOX reports.
The B-52 will provide the Coalition continued precision and deliver desired airpower effects,” said Lt. Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., commander, U.S. Air Forces Central Command and Combined Forces Air Component.
Lt. Brown also indicated the B-52 bombers could be ready to bomb elsewhere in the Middle East should the need arise.
The announcement comes a day after Secretary of State John Kerry vowed to “turn up the pressure further” against ISIS during an unannounced visit to Baghdad Friday to meet with Iraqi’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi as well as Kurdish and Sunni leaders.
Now all we can do is pray and ask our Lord to protect and guard our troops.
