Of Course: 'Hillary's State Dept. Forced The Resignation Of An Ambassador For Using Private E-Mail'

Hillary's Email Hacking Problem

As for the "security" of Hillary's e-mails, that train left the station a long time ago.  The infamous hacker Gucifer, now cooling his heels in a Romanian jail, first disclosed existence of the back channel system when he hacked into the e-mail account of Sidney Blumenthal, the long-time aide and confidant to the former Secretary of State.  While rooting around in Mr. Blumenthal's e-mails, he found a series of messages sent to Mrs. Clinton.  Many contained intelligence information, apparently gathered from Blumenthal's various contacts.  In some instances, he cautioned, the summaries contained "extremely sensitive" information, drawn form sources close to various foreign groups and governments.  Details of the e-mails were published at The Smoking Gun, but the information did not include Mrs. Clinton's responses.

Obviously, if a lone hacker was able to uncover Mrs. Clinton's e-mail domain, it wouldn't be very hard for the intelligence services of Russia, China and other U.S. adversaries to access her messages as well.  And it raises legitimate questions about the type of information the former secretary of state was sending via unsecure e-mail.

Now Would Be a Good Time For GOP Politicians To Shut Up For a Week or Two

Piece of advice to all Republicans; don't say a damn word about social issues, immigration, etc for 3-4 days. Just let is play out.

Reaching Peak Racism

When everything is racist, nothing is - which tells you that actual real racism is mostly extinct.

Muslim Men Who Join ISIS 'Attracted by the Entire Sexual Slaves Fantasy'

Well to be fair most of these guys had about a zero chance of pulling even one sex slave otherwise so I guess ISIS is the only game in town.

France Keeps On Harassing Bridgette Bardot

But doesn't quite have the couilles to actually make her a political prisoner.

France is run by socialist cowards who try to bully 80-year-old women rather than face up to the fact that it has been invaded by millions of Muslims, many of whom just want to kill all Jews and Christians.

Brigitte Bardot faces yet another trial for speaking out against Muslim terrorists -- a term that President Obama would like to ban in the United States.

The French have prosecuted her four times for "inciting racial hatred" -- even though Muslim is a religion not a race -- and found her guilty. Due to her age and worldwide respect, the French are too cowardly to jail her. In fact, in an odd way, it is rather amusing to see the neo-Vichyists give out sentences that are so lame, they only encourage her.

Victoria Cross Awarded

Lance Corporal Joshua Leakey, 27, of the Parachute Regiment, who has been awarded the Victoria Cross, the premier award for gallantry in the presence of the enemy.

On the 22 August 2013, Lance Corporal Leakey, deployed on a combined UK/US assault led by the United States Marine Corp into a Taliban stronghold to disrupt a key insurgent group.

On leaving their helicopters, the force came under machine gun and rocket propelled grenade fire, pinning down the command group on the exposed forward slope of a hill. For an hour the team attempted to extract from the killing zone; a Marine Corp Captain was shot and wounded and their communications were put out of action.

Lance Corporal Leakey said:
When you hear there's a man down, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Clearly then your plans change.

Realising the seriousness of the situation - and with complete disregard for his own safety he dashed across a large area of barren hillside being raked with machine gun fire. As he crested the hill, the full severity of the situation became apparent: approximately twenty enemy had surrounded two friendly machine gun teams and a mortar section, rendering their critical fire support ineffective.

Under fire yet undeterred by the very clear and present danger, Lance Corporal Leakey ran across the exposed slope of the hill three times to initiate casualty evacuation, re-site machine guns and return fire. His actions proved the turning point, inspiring his comrades to fight back with renewed ferocity. Displaying gritty leadership well above that expected of his rank, Lance Corporal Leakey's actions singlehandedly regained the initiative and prevented considerable loss of life.

You can hear him tell the story in his own words here.

Number 1 - They Think, Say, & Do Negative Things.

Yup. They see problems in every opportunity.

They complain that the sun is too hot. They cursed the rain for ruining their plans for the day. They blame the wind for ruining their hair.

They think that everyone is against them. They see the problems but never the solutions.

Every little bit of difficulty is exaggerated to the point of tragedy. They regard failures as catastrophes. They become discouraged easily instead of learning from their mistakes.

They never seem to move forward because they're always afraid to come out of their comfort zones.
