BloggeRhythms

An item @foxnews.com, this morning portends what to look forward to as the presidential race begins to heat up. “Hillary Clinton once again delivered a hard-hitting speech on Donald Trump Tuesday, hammering his business record and even warning he would throw the economy back into recession if elected – to which Trump responded, “How can Hillary run the economy when she can't even send emails without putting entire nation at risk?”

Trump’s response, however, is quite mild at this point. Considering that the administration’s performance regarding the economy provides enough ammunition to build an entire campaign around that can potentially shred Bill Clinton's wife all by itself.

For example, what’s even worse for her than her lack of knowledge regarding the economy, was that while she was spouting total gibberish yesterday, she was not helped at all by Fed Chair, Janet Yellen who said: "Considerable uncertainty about the economic outlook remains. The latest readings on the labor market and the weak pace of investment illustrate one downside risk -- that domestic demand might falter."

According to Paul Handley, @Washington (AFP): “Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen warned Tuesday that the US economy faces "considerable uncertainty" from slower domestic activity and from a possible British vote to break with the European Union. 

“Pointing to dragging hiring and business investment recently, and to the risk that a pro-Brexit vote will send shock waves through global markets, Yellen signaled that the Fed has become less optimistic about US growth over the short term and will proceed with great caution on plans to raise interest rates. 

“She said in testimony to the Senate Banking Committee that US growth has picked up noticeably in the second quarter from the sluggish pace at the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, she said economic growth has been uneven and clear downside risks remain a threat.” 

Which means that, if Bill’s wife continues to focus on the economy, something she knows zip, zero, nada about, she’s not just shooting herself in the foot, she’s going to blow both of them off completely.

And if that isn’t enough ammunition for Trump today, illegal immigrants were the focus of a devastating article by Caroline May @breitbart.com, which exposes the administration in another major fabrication delivered to the public.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) charges: “The Obama Administration ‘grossly misrepresented’ the number of crimes the criminal aliens it released from custody in FY 2014 subsequently committed by nearly tenfold. 

“According to FAIR, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FIOA) request on FAIR’s behalf reveal that the 30,558 criminal aliens ICE released in FY 2014 committed 13,288 additional crimes.” 

As a result: “The number of subsequent convictions contained in FIOA documents is far higher than the 1,423 additional offenses ICE reported to the House Judiciary Committee last July. 

Additional crimes committed included: “[H]omicide, kidnapping, assault, sexual assault, drunk driving, vehicular homicide, domestic violence, DUI, burglary and assault. 

Dan Stein, the president of FAIR, said in statement: “Rather than end dangerous politically-driven policies that have put a total of 85,000 deportable criminal aliens back onto the streets in the last three years, ICE tried to hide them by providing grossly inaccurate information to Congress and the American people.” 

While these two major campaign issues provide Trump with virtually golden opportunity’s politically, even more fodder arrived in a story that is the basis for today's update on Bill Clinton’s wife. 

According to Pete Williams and Ken Dilanian, @nbcnews.com this morning: “Bloomberg first reported Tuesday that the Clinton Foundation had been penetrated, citing three people familiar with the matter. 

“A hacker using the moniker "Guccifer 2.0" also released a new trove of documents Tuesday apparently taken from the DNC during a hack last week. Crowdstrike, the firm brought in by the Democrats to deal with the hack, was one of the firms attributing it to Russian intelligence agencies, which Russia denied. 

"The attackers used advanced intrusion techniques to avoid detection and discovery. They were looking for information on policy, political campaigns and strategies, foreign policy plans," Crowdstrike said in a statement.” 

Aside from the new evidence of significant incompetence on the part of Democrats regarding their technological capabilities, particularly in the area of protecting vital information, the next paragraph illustrates the magnitude of their vulnerability.     

“The cyber attack against the Clinton Foundation comes after Guccifer, a Romanian hacker who first exposed Clinton's private email address, said in May that he also gained access to the former Secretary of State's "completely unsecured" server. The hacker, Marcel Lehel Lazar, pleaded guilty in a U.S. court to related charges that same month.” 

While Guccifer’s hacking success is not new to the voting public, the continual addition of illustrations of managerial failure keep amassing. To the extent that, over the passage of time, when added to all of the other Clinton shortcomings, the huge mistakes in this area alone will likely become a hurdle far too large to jump or otherwise avoid. 

Leading to the ongoing question again: Joe Biden, Jerry Brown, and Starbucks chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you guys reading this?      

That’s it for today folks.        

Adios
