More Clinton emails classified.

Emails shared with Clinton Foundation.

"Records reveal that Hillary Clinton’s private clintonemail.com server shared an IP address with her husband Bill Clinton’s email server, presidentclinton.com, and both servers were housed in New York City, not in the basement of the Clintons’ Chappaqua, New York home.
Web archives show that the Presidentclinton.com Web address was being operated by the Clinton Foundation as of 2009, when Hillary Clinton registered her own clintonemail.com server.
Numerous Clinton Foundation employees used the presidentclinton.com server for their own email addresses, which means that they were using email accounts that, if hacked, would have given any hacker complete access to Hillary Clinton’s State Department emails, as well."

Politics

Claim that Trump, despite his bombast of aggression, is the best Republican on foreign policy.

"With typical hyperbole he declared that “I’m the most militaristic person” in the race. But all of the leading Republican candidates, with occasional hints of heterodoxy (it’s not clear where Rand Paul really stands these days), favor a policy of intervention and war. Compared to them Trump sometimes sounds like a veritable peacenik."

Yikes! These warmongers, including Hillary, may put Bernie Sanders in the White House.

"At the first Republican debate one suspects the GOP crew was prepared to break into the Maori Haka while adding a chorus of John McCain’s “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” to their routine. They were almost indistinguishable from each other. Except for Trump.
First, the GOP candidates scream in apocalyptic terms. Said Chris Christie: “I don’t believe that I have ever lived in a time in my life when the world was a more dangerous and scary place.” Jeb Bush argued that “the world is slipping out of control” and America’s security is “in the balance.” This is nonsense. When in history has a country been as secure as America from existential and even substantial threats? The world is dangerous today, but not so much for the U.S., which dominates the globe like no country has ever before done." 

True.

"The Islamic State grew out of al-Qaeda in Iraq, which arose to fight the U.S. occupation and Shia-majority rule. Former Baathists and Sunni tribes enabled ISIL’s blitzkrieg across Iraq’s Sunni heartland because they came to prefer an Islamist Dark Age to murderous Shia rule. There were no U.S. troops in Iraq because George W. Bush failed to win agreement from the Maliki government. Nor would a few thousand U.S. troops have stopped the Islamic state; instead, a garrison would have provided a convenient target for outraged radicals of every sectarian viewpoint."

True.

"Seventh, the GOP candidates have spoken almost in unison on the need to support allies. They treat handing out security guarantees as similar to accumulating Facebook friends: the more the merrier, irrespective of whom or why. For instance, Christie said “building stronger alliances” was a “pillar” of his policy. He was particularly upset that the Saudi king decided not to come to America to the administration’s Gulf summit."

Not only has the U.S. killed and maimed at least a million people and displaced millions more, it has destroyed the property – water, sanitation and transport systems – that support the networks of trade and commerce essential to the survival of developed human communities. The U.S. has  salted great swaths of the Middle East with the desiccated and irradiated debris of war. Disease and contagions lurk in shadows while the agents of violence march in the noonday sun."

Hillary aide tells judge she will destroy all emails despite his order not to.

"The correspondence that has been produced verifies that the State Department itself has not been forthcoming with Judge Sullivan, with Congress, or with anyone else. Using her private server allowed Ms. Clinton to use an off-the-grid system for her entire tenure in the Department, and the State Department kept that startling fact a secret as long as possible. It is simply shocking that the State Department did not immediately inform Congress, the Court, and Judicial Watch that Ms. Clinton operated solely on a private email server and that the State Department did not have her records. It took months even to discover those crucial facts. And as Judge Emmet G. Sullivan bores toward the truth, more revelations continue to surface.
It is especially telling that there was no Inspector General at the State Department while Ms. Clinton led the department. That independent watchdog surely would have put a stop to such an illegal and unauthorized practice immediately. Obviously, that is why Ms. Clinton didn’t allow an Inspector General. As soon as the Inspector General had the opportunity to review her first 40 emails, he immediately identified classified or sensitive information that should never have been outside the State’s secure channels.
And despite the Obama administration’s countless claims that it knew nothing of her private account, the few emails already produced by Ms. Clinton, and by Clinton consigliere Sidney Blumenthal, themselves belie that—as does the address itself. When one writes an email to the address Clinton.com, one must know that it is not state.gov—and Clinton.com was the way she communicated with everyone in the administration and other branches of government. David Axelrod is only the first to be caught red-handed."

Oops.

If it was that easy, everybody would buy it. I'm skeptical.

Great observation in article about Trump.

"“What, then, is the difference between economic power and political power?”
Capitalism.org supplies a succinct reply: “The difference between political and economic power is the difference between plunder and production, between punishment and reward, between destruction and trade. Plunder, punishment, and destruction belong to the political realm; production, reward, and trade belong to the economic realm.”"

Excellent.

I wonder how much taxpayers paid for a report advocating:

"Martin said the report was created through an extensive community engagement process. From it came four guiding principles that encourage community leaders to:
• Build on the region’s many assets.
• Maximize the use of existing infrastructure.
• Preserve agricultural land and open space.
• Encourage community connection and cooperation.
To help communities reuse existing, vacant properties, Martin said the MVRPC is helping communities obtain grants and tax credits for economic development and rehabilitation projects."

Foreign Policy

After decades of tolerating them, China and Russia have kicked the CIA's NGO rabble-rousers out.

The US gave the Soviet Union the technology to produce multiple-warhead nuclear missiles.

"In 1972, the United States government authorized the sale to the USSR of the crucial technology for manufacturing MIRVed nuclear warheads. These were missiles on which one rocket could launch at least 10 warheads against 10 separate targets. To do this, a country had to have ball bearing production, and the Soviet Union did not have it. But the United States government authorized the one company in the West that possessed this technology to sell it to the Soviet Union. This enabled the Soviet Union to escalate its threat against the United States to match the United States' threat against the Soviet Union. This was national policy. The public never knew this."

I guess not.

I wonder if the Clinton email scandal will hurt all Democrats. That's one reason Obama might not want to use the FBI to undermine her. Another reason is he doesn't want the FBI to expose corruption in his administration, undermining him. I doubt his antipathy toward the Clintons is so great he would undermine his own cause.

Education

Poor people around the world chose to pay for private schooling instead of forcing children into "free" government schools.

"It’s no wonder then that private schools are proliferating in the world’s poorest areas. According to The Economist, hundreds of new private schools are opening in Lagos, Nigeria, many of them charging less than $1 a week. In poor countries, official estimates show that private schools now educate more than one-fifth of all students, double the proportion a decade ago. And even that figure probably underestimates private school enrollment since a high proportion of private schools in poor countries are unregistered. As The Economist notes, “A school census in Lagos in 2010-11, for example, found four times as many private schools as in government records.”"

Obama is allying with jihadists in Syria including al Qaedas al Nusra Front.

"Bit by bit the US sneaks into Syria, first under the pretext of fighting ISIS and then the parameters are widened to include air support to the 64 rebels we’ve “vetted” and trained. Oh wait – they’re not quite so numerous anymore, since Al Nusra took 10 or so of them captive in the Friday attack – and then repeated the same stunt last [Monday] night: so they must be down to around 40."

Apple stock crash continues.

"Shares of Apple finished down $3.80, or 3.2%, to $114.64 in regular trading Tuesday, meaning they've fallen more than 14% since hitting their high of $134.54 on April 28. Given the massive size of Apple's market value, this sell off is enormous in that it has wiped out $113 billion in paper wealth. The sell off essentially erases more than the entire market value of corporate giants including Nike (NKE) at $98 billion or McDonald's (MCD) at $95 billion, separately."

It's a correction all right.

More support for robot production.

Foreign Policy

FBI investigates Clinton's server, but this is a whitewash. They could have investigated it years ago.

"For instance, the server installed in her Chappaqua, N.Y., home as she was preparing to take office as secretary of state was originally used by her first campaign for the presidency, in 2008, according to two people briefed on the setup. A staffer who was on the payroll of her political action committee set it up in her home, replacing a server that Clinton’s husband, former president Bill Clinton, had been using in the house."

Duh.
