Limbaugh: Why are Obama, Hillary silent on hacked server? - WND:
In the wake of news reports this week that Hillary Clinton’s email server was hacked by a Chinese-owned company, talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh is wondering where the denials are from the former U.S. secretary of state and former President Obama.
“Has anybody seen Barack Hussein O or Hillary Clinton on TV denying the news story that the Chinese government had real-time hacked access to Hillary Clinton’s computer, her home-brew server and network when she was secretary of state? I haven’t seen that,” Limbaugh said on his national broadcast Wednesday.
“Has anybody seen Obama and Hillary indignant? Has anybody seen them on television flat-out refusing, denying, saying this is absurd? Anybody seen that? You haven’t.”

"What is an algorithm?
Few subjects are more constantly or fervidly discussed right now than algorithms.
But what is an algorithm?
In fact, the usage has changed in interesting ways since the rise of the internet – and search engines in particular – in the mid-1990s.
...Recent years have seen a more portentous and ambiguous meaning emerge...
...Only since 2016 has a more nuanced consideration of our new algorithmic reality begun to take shape.
...Corporations like Facebook and Google have sold and defended their algorithms on the promise of objectivity, an ability to weigh a set of conditions with mathematical detachment and absence of fuzzy emotion.
No wonder such algorithmic decision-making has spread to the granting of loans/ bail/benefits/college places/job interviews and almost anything requiring choice.
...We no longer accept the sales pitch for this type of algorithm so meekly..."

'Rather unpleasant': Sununu turns tables on CNN reporter - WND:
“You asked me to come on to talk about John McCain,” he said. “I’m here to talk about John McCain as I remember him. I’m not here to talk about the press’s handling of a difference between the White House and the press corps at this time.”
Camerota repeatedly pushed Sununu to say what she wanted.
“Are you satisfied … ,” she asked.
“This effort to try and create a cleavage there really does disturb me,” he said.
“It is this effort by the press to accentuate the negative that I think has created the climate that prevents in the long term the bipartisanship that John McCain supported,” Sununu said. “I don’t want to be a part of rubbing whatever salt there is in whatever wound there may be because I think that just adds to the division.

Caroline Glick: German-led E.U. Sides with Iran Against America
Caroline Glick: German-led E.U. Sides with Iran Against America"With each passing day, it is becoming increasingly clear that the European Union has decided to stake its diplomatic credibility on the nuclear deal the Obama administration concluded with Iran.
Last Thursday, the EU announced it was transferring $20 million to Iran to offset the impact of U.S. sanctions.
EU foreign policy commissioner Federica Mogherini said it was part of a wider $58 million aid package to convince Iran to remain in the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — that is, then-President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran.
The EU’s announcement followed other anti-American, pro-Iranian moves.
Those included approving regulations to protect EU firms from U.S. sanctions if they continue to trade with Iran, and barring EU firms from ending their trade with Iran to comply with U.S. sanctions..."

The Silence On A Potential Chinese Spy In Feinstein's Office Is Deafening
The Silence On A Potential Chinese Spy In Feinstein's Office Is Deafening:The reporting also universally ignored, and thus concealed, the critical context that with even the smallest modicum of curiosity an observer would have unearthed regarding the fact that the alleged Chinese spy in her office was part of a much broader Feinstein-China mosaic.
Namely, reporters omitted that:
