Campaign update

The State Department now says that 60 of Hillary Clinton's private emails contained classified data. That number is expected to grow over the next few months as her former employer wades through 30,000 work-related emails that passed through her personal email server. There will likely be hundreds of breaches uncovered by the time the investigation concludes. When the government was prosecuting Chelsea Manning, then-Secretary of State Clinton called a press conference to promote the prosecution, saying therein, "I think that in an age where so much information is flying through cyberspace, we all have to be aware of the fact that some information which is sensitive, which does affect the security of individuals and relationships, deserves to be protected and we will continue to take necessary steps to do so."

She's the exception, I guess.

Donald Trump, the man who has found a way to meld politics with professional wrestling, has a plan to radically change immigration in America. One proposal is to deport children born in America to undocumented parents. Trump did not disclose the time frame he has in mind for this rule. The Dutch that settled Trump's hometown of New York City in 1624 didn't have their papers in order. Their native-born descendants number in the millions.

Trump scores all the headlines for his outrageous comments, but Scott Walker describes his own immigration plan as "similar."

Trump has a sister, "a female version" of him serving on the bench of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Sadly, she's no longer a 10.

Trump, Hillary, Bernie, and pretty much every other presidential candidate is visiting us in Des Moines at the Iowa State Fair this week. Look at this photo of Hillary. Even in a staged photo op, she can't fake her way through the disdain she has for the process. It's all in her face: Can't I just be anointed? What an awful, awful candidate.

Did Black Lives Matters activists recently hurt the feelings of your favorite presidential candidate? Well, fear not because undercover police in New York are infiltrating their organization to make sure these terrorist acts of First Amendment exercise don't continue. Any of the previously-offended candidates have a comment on this law enforcement strategy, or are they all going to stay silent and again affirm the activists' larger point?
