Odds and Ends.

Item 1:

To the surprise of every Democrat in the USA, Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election. The emails that were hacked from the Democrat National Committee didn’t help her at all! For the record, I do not condone hacking and the release of private records, but you will note that the DNC (or Clinton) never DENIED the validity of what the emails revealed!

Now we learn from Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson, that assistance from his department was offered to the Democrat National Committee to combat Russian hacking during the 2016 presidential election, but was rejected.

“I pressed my staff to know whether DHS was sufficiently proactive, and on the scene helping the DNC identify the intruders and patch vulnerabilities. The answer, to the best of my recollection, was not reassuring. The FBI and the DNC had been in contact with each other months before about the intrusion, and the DNC did not feel it needed DHS’s assistance at that time,” Johnson said.

Item 2:

I don’t want to bore you to death with recaps of the Georgia 6th District election, but if you want to have an inkling as to why the Dems are losing these elections, listen to the candidate in the Georgia 6th District.

The Democrat Party is looking for their “strategy” to regain control of the House of Representatives in 2018. However, if they do so it won’t be to enact “free college for all,” or “to reestablish Obamacare,” or to provide “universal basic income,” or to guarantee “pie in the sky when you die.” No. None of these. They want the House to begin impeachment proceedings because they can’t come to grips with the 2016 loss of Hillary Clinton.

Despite the fact that the Georgia 6th District was the most expensive House race in history. Despite the fact that the money was mostly from out-of-state. What did Democrat Ossoff say? He called for campaign finance reform. He said , “The role of money in politics is a major problem and particularly the role of unchecked anonymous money… which is one of the reasons that we need campaign finance reform…”

If you are looking for the definition of chutzpah, you just found it!

Item 3:

Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and close advisor, has been called (by Allahpundit) the world’s most powerful man. However, Congressman Elijah Cummings has asked why Kushner still has a security clearance. Cummings bases his “question” on media reports that Kushner is plotting with the Russians to take over the world… or something to that effect. Cummings wants to know why Kushner still has a security clearance despite reports he failed to disclose meetings with Russian businessmen (over a SEVEN YEAR PERIOD – do you remember every meeting from seven years ago?).

Cummings forgot to include Hillary Clinton in his query. As it turns out, the State Department has opened a formal inquiry into whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while she was the nation’s top diplomat (reported by Fox News). Despite being under investigation, Clinton and her staffers still have security clearances to access sensitive government information.

Wait! What? You got that, didn’t you? Hillary Clinton still has top secret security clearance. I thought she was a private citizen giving speeches for vast amounts of money.
