Today’s another in which, when all is said and done, simple logic will provide answers to events that experts and pundits will overthink, over-explain, and will ultimately be incorrect. 
 
Greg Robb @marketwatch.com reports that: “The U.S. economy grew at a faster 3.7% annual pace in the second quarter, up from the initial estimate of growth at a 2.3% clip.”
 
Business investment was stronger than expected with Corporate profits rising an estimated 2.4% in the second quarter after declining by 5.8% in the first.
 
Looking at the dramatic increase, and then trying to determine the cause, likely doesn't require an advanced degree in economics. Because the glaring change that’s taken place, has been the significant reduction in the price of oil.
 
Which brings up the same conclusion reached in these daily entry’s for the past four years. Imagine how well the nation would have done since 2008, had not the administration pandered to zealots who strangled an economy battling a global-warming farce that did not even exist. 
  
On another subject, a new Quinnipiac University National Poll shows Joe Biden “running strong in head-to-head match-ups against Republicans in key swing states.”
 
While the poll shows Bill Clinton’s wife polling better than Biden in the Democratic primary race, Biden attained a slight edge against leading GOP contenders.
 
Tim Malloy, assistant director of the poll, said in a statement: "Note to Biden: They like you, they really like you, or they like you more than the others.” Biden leads Republican front-runner Donald Trump, 48-40 percent, and Jeb Bush, 45-39 percent.

Bill’s wife also edges those candidates, but not by as much. Against Trump it’s 45-41 percent; and Bush 42-40 percent. However, the poll showed, “her worst favorability rating yet – with only 39 percent holding a favorable view of her, compared with 51 percent who don’t.” But, things could get much worse. Because with still more than a year to go, familiarity with her has always led to growing dislike.   

And then there was another story that is very hard to understand, involving Trump.

According to the Des Moines Register: “Trump’s top hire in Iowa got busted in emails trashing his now-boss. In messages written as recently as last month, new Trump national co-chairman, Sam Clovis, who abandoned the struggling campaign of former Texas Gov. Rick Perry this week to work for Trump, calls the New York billionaire “a cancer on conservatism” and a man with “no foundation in Christ.” Clovis said in one message that as a veteran he was “offended by a man who sought and gained four student deferments to avoid the draft and who has never served this nation a day — not a day — in any fashion or way.” 
 
Clovis admitted to what he’d written,  but said “he had become convinced of Trump’s merits and sincerity after he got the chance to “look [Trump] in the eye and ask him the tough questions.” Thus, the translation of what actually happened is that Clovis, like most others in politics, must have gotten his price from Trump and obviously took the money like any hooker would.

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

FoxNews Senior Judicial Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano asks whether Hillary Clinton has been pulling the wool over our eyes for years. “From failed operations in Libya and Syria to unsecured email on her private server, “What if Clinton just doesn’t care whether she has broken any federal laws, illegally caused the deaths of thousands of innocents, and profoundly jeopardized and misled the American people? What if the American people do care about all this? What will they do about it?” 
 
Now, one would certainly assume that the Judge’s query is rhetorical. Because it’s doubtful there’s any voter naïve enough to believe that there’s an iota of sincerity in the power-hungry, money-driven machine Bill married. Yet, the judge certainly raised some very unnerving questions which one can only hope that the American people will do the right thing about. Long before election day arrives.
 
Which leads to the daily question: Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, Jerry Brown, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you reading this? 

That's it for today folks. 

Adios
