Hillary Clinton's email problem apparently started with her BlackBerry 'addiction'




Starting to wonder when this will occur.



------------------------------------------------



The FBI is scheduling interviews with Hillary Clinton's senior aides when she was secretary of state, signaling that the Justice Department's inquiries into Clinton's use of a private email server is "moving into its final phases," the Los Angeles Timesreports. The FBI has reportedly concluded its background work and needs to speak with Clinton's inner circle, and perhaps Clinton herself, to figure out what the Clinton team was thinking. And while Clinton "faces little risk of being prosecuted," the Times reports, the email flap will "continue to dog Clinton's presidential campaign" and "could cause some political heartburn when the aides are questioned."

(Setting us up for the wrist slap?)

It turns out "Clinton's email problems began in her first days as secretary of state," The Washington Post reports in a long look at what, in fact, Clinton and her team appeared to be thinking. Clinton didn't use a desktop computer and wanted to continue using her BlackBerry, but the diplomatic security corps did not want her to use it in her secure office suite, known as Mahogany Row, out of concern that it could be hacked and used as a listening device, The Post said, citing Clinton's trove of released emails and dozens of interviews:

On Feb. 17, 2009, less than a month into Clinton's tenure, the issue came to a head. Department security, intelligence and technology specialists, along with five officials from the National Security Agency, gathered in a Mahogany Row conference room. They explained the risks to Cheryl Mills, Clinton's chief of staff, while also seeking "mitigation options" that would accommodate Clinton's wishes. "The issue here is one of personal comfort," one of the participants in that meeting, Donald Reid, the department's senior coordinator for security infrastructure, wrote afterward in an email that described Clinton's inner circle of advisers as "dedicated [BlackBerry] addicts." [The Washington Post]

In an email Reid sent five days before the meeting, he indicated that the NSA had signaled they would not set Clinton up with a secure "BlackBerry-like" device, because it would be expensive and "not too user friendly," adding: "Each time we asked the question 'What was the solution for POTUS?' we were politely told to shut up and color."

Wolves slaughter 19 elk in 'sport killing'







Must have contracted the ISIS virus.


-----------------------------------------------------------


Nineteen elk, mostly calves, were found dead several days ago at a feeding ground near Bondurant, a town southeast of Jackson, said John Lund of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. A contractor delivering feed to the herd discovered the dead animals.

"There is a significant concern among wildlife managers," he said, noting that there are no reports of wolves attacking humans. "Our concern is big game."

But there's nothing the state agency can do, he said. Wolves are federally protected and managed.
In 2012, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service planned to take wolves off the endangered list and turn over management of the animals to Wyoming, according to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department website. That would have allowed state-regulated hunting of wolves.

But a federal judge ruled in 2014 that wolves remain under federal control and be relisted as an endangered species.
The federal agency could kill wolves that are attacking livestock but not wildlife, said Mike Jiminez, the wildlife service's Northern Rocky Mountain Wolf coordinator, according to the Casper Star Tribune.
Wolves, once nearly extinct, were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1990s, according to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department website. The number of wolves grew and spread across the region.

Hillary Clinton Wants To Use Obamacare For Illegal Immigrants





This is simply astonishing to me she chose to run on this platform and still hopes to be POTUS. My first thought was...what idiot would vote for her? Then I remembered none of her supporters care about the email scandal...why would they care about this?

---------------------------------------





Hillary Clinton wants to use Obamacare to provide health coverage for illegal immigrants.

In an interview with Anderson Cooper as part of CNN’s presidential primetime event Monday, Clinton said, “It’s not only the right and moral thing to do for them, it’s also important that we keep ourselves healthy and public health requires that.”

Cooper asked Clinton, “[A]re you in favor of extending Obamacare to undocumented immigrants” and the former Secretary of State replied, “There are two steps here. If someone can afford to pay for an insurance policy off the exchanges that were set up under the Affordable Care Act, I support that.”

“Even if they are undocumented?” Cooper followed up.

“Yes,” Clinton replied. Adding, “If they can afford it, they should be able to go into the marketplace and buy it. But it is not going to apply to people who are in need of subsidies in order to afford that because the subsidies question has to be worked out in comprehensive immigration reform.”

“And what I do want to see is that we have more options for undocumented people to be able to get the health care they need,” Clinton said.




What message does this send? This is supposed to act as a deterrent to stop illegals from coming here?  Hell...it's a welcome mat!

Obama tells Belgians ‘America has their back’










WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama took time off from his tango class to offer his prayers for the families of the two Americans killed in the bombings in Brussels and telling Belgians that “America has their back” in the fight against terrorism.

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama is renewing his vow to continue the tango I mean campaign against the Islamic State, which took credit for the attacks. He says U.S. officials are working with allies to root out the group’s operations in Europe.

Obama says U.S. officials have ramped up intelligence cooperation and that FBI agents are now rounding up terrorists teaching them the tango instead of waterboarding them in the hope it will catch on and put an end to the bombings.

The president says he and his allies will review the Gitmo release policy and release only those proficient in the tango.

So far it hasn't caught on very well.

Mark Levin: ‘I Fear We’re Going To Get Blown Out’ Because Of Trump’s ‘Tweeting Problems’



As I said before I'm not a huge fan of Trump. “I just don’t think he has the character or temperament to be POTUS. I believe in a lot of what he says but his personal attacks are totally uncalled for and way over the top. If he could just keep is big mouth shut and act presidential maybe things would be different but I can't see that happening. When Mark Levin says something you better take notice.

---------------------------------------- 




During the Thursday broadcast of his radio show, Mark Levin stated he worries Republicans are “going to get blown out” in the general election.

“Do you think this is going to help the Republicans win?” Levin said of the spousal-feud waged by Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. “No.” 


(This is what I'm talking about. Totally out of bounds. Can you imagine Reagan saying this about  Rosalynn Carter?)

“As a matter of fact, I’m starting to think we’re not going to win. It’s actually been in the back of my mind for some time now,” he added. “I fear we’re going to get blown out, and part of it is tactics, and part of it — quite frankly — is Donald Trump’s tweeting problems.”

“He tweets like he has Tourette’s, like he’s obsessed. Nothing personal, but it gets crazier and crazier, and it’s turning off more and more people.”

Levin additionally stated that though Trump still has high support among blue-collar workers, he is “bleeding” support in almost every other demographic.

“These negative numbers are coming in big time. A negative view of Trump: 70 percent of women, 72 percent of millennials, 83 percent of blacks, 77 percent of Hispanics. Here you go, 68 percent of suburbanites.”

“I can smell this. It doesn’t smell good.”
