Clintonian parsing can't save Hillary from failure to safeguard classified information

Daily Mail:
'I think there's so much confusion': Hillary Clinton reiterates she didn't 'knowingly' send or receive classified information using her private email server
  • Clinton maintained the claims she made earlier this year about using her private email server at her home
  • She says she's confident about the proper handling of the emails
  • Clinton suggested there was 'confusion' over the issue
  • The State Department is reviewing 55,000 pages of her emails
When handling classified information this kind of excuse will not cut it.  It is like saying you forgot to pay your income taxes.  A person who has been given access to classified material is to safeguard it at all times.

That means you can't leave on top of your desk while you go to lunch or overnight.  It has to be locked away in a classified storage vault or area.  When it is transmitted certain protocols are required to be followed to make sure it does not fall into the wrong hands.  Emailing it through an unsecured server is a serious violation.

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
