While the debate, as expected here, did little or nothing to change the status of the candidates in contention for the Republican presidential nomination, the party as a whole got a significant boost.

 

Dan Balz, chief correspondent @washingtonpost.com summed op the positive results by writing, “Everyone came out a winner — or so the rivals’ advisers proclaimed. Some of that bravado was typical post-debate hype, but some of it was grounded in reality. Trump may have been the center of attention, but others performed more effectively overall.

 

“For months, Republican leaders have talked about the breadth, depth and potential strength of their candidates. As a group, the aspiring nominees are certainly more experienced and seemingly more ready for a national campaign than the collection of politicians who sought to deny Mitt Romney the GOP nomination in 2012.”

 

Therefore, considering the state the nation’s fallen to, thanks to purposeful anti-growth Democrat ideology, Republican’s not only have an almost certain presidential victory to look forward to, they have an abundance of highly-qualified individuals fit for the role.

 

As far as timing is concerned, further evidence of the nation’s need for a Reagan style presidential push for the economy appeared yesterday in the jobs data statistics report for July.   

 

According to Caroline May @breitbart.com, “The number of people not in the labor force reached another record high in July, according to new jobs data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

 

“The BLS reports that 93,770,000 people (16 and older) were neither employed last month nor had made specific efforts to find work in the prior four weeks. The number of people outside the workforce in July increased 144,000 over June’s record when 93,626,000 were not in the workforce.”

 

Therefore the labor participation rate remains at the lowest its been since the late 1970s, when Jimmy Carter was president. Which, as has been mentioned here before, confirms the fact that Obama is either tied for the record as the worst president for the nation’s economy in history, or possibly even more disastrous.

 

While the BLS highlighted that the unemployment rate remained at 5.3 percent, that numbers low only because the administration changed the formula to exclude those out of work for more than four weeks.

 

And then, an interesting dialog took place among three readers in the comments section following the article. 

 

Michael Brown wrote, “Explain how Reagan had over 7% growth, while Obama is at 2% and less?

 

Matthew M responded, “Part of this is due to weak economic conditions overseas, especially in Europe.”

 

John, followed up with, “You don't think 80 000 pages of rules in the federal register and the highest corporate tax rate in the world has anything to do with this do you ? naaaah, couldn't be.

 

Therefore, if this give and take is any indication of voter’s astuteness, people are not only highly aware of how the nation’s economy functions, fiscal Republicans outnumber liberals two to one. 

 

Which brings us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.

 

While today’s item concerns potentially damaging circumstances for her presidential campaign, the author of the story is virtually as important as the reporting itself. Sidney Powell @observer.com, worked in the Department of Justice for 10 years and was lead counsel in more than 500 federal appeals . Which means she really knows what she’s talking about.

 

Regarding Cheryl Mills, who served as Counselor and Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Ms Powell writes that, “In a letter sent to the U.S. State Department and just filed today with U.S. federal Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, the counsel for Cheryl Mills wrote: “Ms. Mills does not believe that she has paper copies of potential records in her possession. Following our production on August 10, 2015 [of the defense counsel’s version of the electronic records], we have instructed her to delete any and all electronic records in her possession.

 

“Yesterday evening, State finally produced some correspondence between it and Hillary’s right and left hands—Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills. It has not produced its correspondence with Mrs. Clinton, and it is now clear that Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Abedin and Ms. Mills plan to thumb their noses at the Judge and the State Department. No one is “cooperating,” despite their empty rhetoric to the contrary.”

 

Ms Powell goes on to note that, “Judicial Watch has made an emergency filing in Judge Sullivan’s court to stop the further destruction of evidence of what may very well be assorted criminal conduct and violations of numerous federal laws.”

 

Her conclusion is that, “The train a comin’ right now is driven by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan—the man who named a special prosecutor to investigate the Department of Justice and its “Public Integrity Section.” Which sounds like Ms Powell believes that not only will the judge continue pursuing the case, but she thinks it will wind up as a train-wreck, not only for Bill’s wife, but also her closest associates.

 

Leading to the ongoing question: Mayor Bloomberg, Joe Biden, Jerry Brown, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you reading this?

 

That’s it for today folks.
