The best of Easter wishes to all to begin today’s short entry.

Holiday or not, it has to mentioned that the POTUS has delivered an incredible gift to the Republican party this morning. Because, after his brief Easter weekend radio address, it’s beyond reason that any rational human being would vote for anyone in his party in November. Or perhaps, ever again. 

Nicole Duran @washingtonexaminer,com, reports: “President Obama vowed to decimate the self-proclaimed Islamic State, but he said the United States will do so by offering an example of freedom, tolerance and open society. 

"Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL's violence; our determination to win the battle against ISIL's hateful and violent propaganda — a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause," are paramount in the fight, Obama told Americans during his weekly radio address.” 

And then, after admitting that “entry to Syrian and Iraqi refugees has become a divisive issue in the U.S. as well as Europe,” Obama made clear he has no plan to back off his promise to admit 100,000 to the U.S. this year.

But, perhaps, if one has full time Secret Service protection 24/7/365 for the rest of one’s life, and will live in a protective enclave out of harm’s way in the future, one develops a different perspective on the fears in life than the rest of us average, every day Americans.  

Bringing us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.

Yesterday, it was mentioned here that Sanders spoke at a stadium holding 10,000 in Madison, Wisconsin on Thursday. In the same town, on the same day, Chelsea Clinton drew only 100 to hear her talk about her mother.

Then, according to FoxNews.com, Sanders ”drew more than 10,000 supporters to a rally Friday evening at Safeco Field in Seattle. And by Saturday afternoon, the state appeared to be having a record voter turnout, which has helped keep alive Sanders’ insurgent campaign.”

Saturday night, final tally’s showed that a primary in Alaska, was won by Sanders 81.6% to a paltry 18.4% for Bill’s wife. Hawaiians too, went big for Sanders, washing her off the beaches with 70.6% of the vote to 29.2%. And, in Washington state, he won the trifecta with another blowout, 72.7% to 27.1%.    

Now, whether these results show a true trend reversal remains to be seen. But, at the moment, as far as the Democrat presidential race goes, Bill’s wife ain’t havin’ no cakewalk, no how.

On the same subject, but from a different angle, an article by Jason Leopold @news.vice.com via Drudge, yesterday is titled: FBI Reveals New Details About Its Probe Into Hillary Clinton's Use of Private Email Server.”  

From the headline, it’s probable readers would assume that some critically important information was to be revealed in the text. 

 

However, here’s what the opening paragraph says: “The FBI submitted a classified declaration to a federal court judge late Friday explaining details about the bureau's "pending investigation" into the use of a private email server by Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton. The declaration addresses why the FBI can't publicly release any records about its probe in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by VICE News.”

After telling readers that there’s nothing new to reveal and why, the long, boring article goes on to reiterate stale, repetitive details about the investigation to date, which aren’t only timeworn by now, but certainly far from “new details.” 

The reason for even bothering to mention this waste of reading time, is that as a highly dependable source of referral to important current information, Drudge is ordinarily by far the best in the business. But, even sophisticated editors apparently can be fooled by misleading headlines. Nonetheless, it would be better for everyone if they’d read the article before passing the rehash on to everyone else.   

There is, though, something to be learned from the experience. Because now it’s known that in the future, it’s best to avoid anything coming from Jason Leopold and/or news.vice.com.

And now, skipping back to this section’s mention of yesterday's Democrat poll results in three states, the recurring question needs asking again: Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, Jerry Brown, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you guys reading this?   

That’s it for today folks.
