"Former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani appeared on Fox and Friends this morning to provide commentary on the Democratic National Convention.

What is Old, and New, and Scary in Russia’s Probable DNC Hack
What is Old, and New, and Scary in Russia’s Probable DNC Hack - Lawfare:
"...There is nothing new in one nation’s intelligence services using stealthy techniques to influence an election in another.
...The data breaches are raising questions as the U.S. considers whether to move toward electronic balloting.
More people than ever are using the internet to register to vote and to request mail-in ballots.
Some states have even become vote-by-mail only in recent years.
“If you can’t keep the voter registration records safe, what makes you think you can keep the votes safe?” asked Pamela Smith, president of election watchdog Verified Voting.
For a politically inclined hacker, insecure voter data could “very easily” create a pathway to “massive” voter fraud, said Joseph Kiniry, CEO of Free & Fair, which advocates for secure digital election systems.
“If you can go in there and delete rows based on someone’s name or political affiliation, we will have a massively screwed up election process on the day,” he said.
The Russian hack of the DNC was small beans compared to the destruction of the integrity of a national election result.
This scary thought raises an OPM-hack-inspired question:
Who in the U.S. government is responsible for this problem?
Election fraud is typically the responsibility of election officials working with law enforcement officials.
But when election fraud with national consequences is potentially threatened by foreign adversaries, it should become the responsibility of (at a minimum) national intelligence officials.
But are they on this problem?
Does the United States government have a well-worked out plan to ensure that our highly computerized and highly decentralized system for electing the President is protected from foreign disruption via cyber-exploitation or cyber-attack?
I have no idea—but I seriously doubt it."

Monster Win Is Good For Energy Drink Makers and Consumers
Monster Win Is Good For Energy Drink Makers and Consumers - Reason.com:
"July has been a bad month for those leading the foolhardy charge against energy drinks.
Earlier this month saw the quiet but welcome dismissal of a set of lawsuits against Monster, the maker of popular energy drinks.
The suits, filed earlier this year by Morgan & Morgan, a Florida-based law firm, claimed just two cans of Monster could be deadly.
"When the Monster lawsuit started earlier in 2016, the law firm Morgan & Morgan claimed two 16-ounce cans of Monster Energy contained a 'lethal dose' of caffeine and that 'overconsumption of energy drinks has led to heart attacks, strokes and even death,'" reported the news website Inquistr this week.
"The Florida-based personal injury law firm has now asked the courts to dismiss their lawsuits."
The news is particularly noteworthy because the media loudly trumpeted the purported dangers of energy drinks in the wake of the lawsuits.
A Daily Beast piece on the lawsuits, typical of the tone of some reports, described the lawsuits' target under an ominous (and false) heading: "death juice."
Most reports on the lawsuit's withdrawal, when they have appeared, have been of the demure, three-sentence variety. monster
Ominous-sounding lawsuits make for good headlines.
Dismissals no so much.
As part of its campaign against Monster, Morgan & Morgan had launched a website seeking potential plaintiffs to challenge the energy-drink maker.
"If you or someone you know has experienced heart problems, seizures, an irregular heartbeat, kidney failure, or any other adverse effects after drinking Monster Energy drinks," the firm's EnergyDrinksLawsuit.com website advertises, "you may be entitled to compensation."
Maybe not.
"The voluntary dismissal of these lawsuits, we believe, speaks volumes," Marc P. Miles of Shook, Hardy & Bacon, counsel for Monster Energy Company, said in a company press release.
"We believe fairness dictates that the media now write about the dismissals..."

Liabilities of Liberalism
Liabilities of Liberalism - Taki's Magazine:
"“Liberalism,” James Burnham once wrote, “is the ideology of western suicide.”
Writers on the right find it fashionable to cite Burnham’s decree.
In an era when being white, Christian, male, and proud is as sinful as cold-blooded murder, it appears that liberalism is inspiring massive self-hatred on the forgers of the West.
The statistics don’t lie: White Europeans are a dying breed.
In the U.S., the death rate of middle-aged whites exceeds that of minorities.
In Europe, the birth rates of natives are collapsing.
The number of “nones”—that is, people identifying as faithless—is increasing among young adults.
Put it all together and you have the makings of an entire society slowly smothering the life out of itself.
Is liberalism truly to blame?
It’s an easy answer, for sure.
Leftism is an ideological cancer that brings misery, death, and famine to all societies.
Just ask anyone who has lived (or lives) in a communistic country.
But I don’t think Marx’s brainchild is responsible for what’s ailing America, or the West as a whole.
In fact, I’ve come to think it’s something much more familiar.
The enemy, as Pogo said, may very well be us.
The culprit behind Western lethargy is liberalism, by which I mean the actual definition of liberalism.
Libertarians call it classical liberalism.
Leftist intellectuals call it pluralism or tolerance.
Economists call it laissez-faire.
“The very ethos that gave birth to the most powerful society in history is eroding its very purpose for being.”..."

Private Servers Were Recommended: Clinton | The Daily Caller
"Democratic presidential nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed publicly for the first time in a recent CBS News “60 Minutes” interview that using private email servers was “recommended” to her.
The revelation — highlighted in a Judicial Watch lawsuit against the State Department — raises new unanswered questions about who may have suggested or influenced Clinton’s decision to relay sensitive and classified State Department information on private channels."
IRS looking into Clinton Foundation 'pay-to-play' claims
IRS looking into Clinton Foundation 'pay-to-play' claims | Fox News:
"The IRS confirmed in a letter it is looking into claims of “pay-to-play” practices at the Clinton Foundation, after dozens of Republican lawmakers requested a review of potential “criminal conduct” at the organization founded by the family at the center of this week’s Democratic National Convention.
Commissioner John Koskinen wrote in a July 22 letter to Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn that the issue has been “forwarded” to the IRS “Exempt Organizations Examinations” program in Dallas.
“This program considers all referrals and will send you a separate acknowledgement letter when it receives your information,” he wrote, in a letter first reported by The Daily Caller.
It’s unclear whether the agency might take any further action.
The letter noted that, under the law, they could not reveal “any actions we may take on this information.”
A Clinton Foundation source, though, rejected reporting that the letter indicates an investigation.
“Nowhere does this letter say that there’s an investigation, or that the IRS is even considering an investigation,” the source said. "

Are You Better Off Than You Were 7 Years Ago?
Are You Better Off Than You Were 7 Years Ago? | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD
President Obama says by most measures people in the country are better off.
But he ignores all those measures that show families falling behind while he's been president.
Economy:
While patting himself on the back in his speech at the Democratic Convention, President Obama said that "by so many measures, our country is stronger and more prosperous than it was when we started."
Clearly, Obama needs a new ruler.
The question isn't whether the country is better off than it was when Obama took office — when it was still in a recession — it's whether the country is better off than it was when the recovery started almost exactly seven years ago.
Using that as the gauge, many Americans — by several measures — are actually worse off after seven years of Obama's "recovery" than they were just as the recession was ending.
That's an incredible testament to the abject failure of Obamanomics, not a legacy that anyone should hope will continue into the next administration.
Let's run some of the numbers:
How does Obama square these facts with his sunny outlook? He doesn't. He just ignores them. But the public knows what's going on..."

Let's run some of the numbers:
- More in poverty: During Obama's "recovery," 3.1 million people fell into poverty, and the poverty rate climbed from 14.3% in 2009 to 14.8% in 2014, according to Census.
- Lower household incomes: Census data show that only the top 40% of households made gains in income under Obama, while the remaining 60% saw their incomes shrink between 2009 and 2014. The bottom 20%, for example, saw their incomes decline by 8.4% over those years.
- More on food stamps: There were 8.7 million more people on food stamps this April (the last year for which data are available) than there were when recovery started, according to the Department of Agriculture.
- More labor dropouts: While the number of people who are unemployed fell by about 7 million between June 2009 and today, the number who are no longer in the labor force — either because they've quite looking for work or retired — climbed an astonishing 14 million.
- Less optimism: In June 2009, the IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index was 50.8 — anything above 50 represents optimistic, under 50 pessimism. This July, the Optimism Index was 45.5. And while 52% of the public thought the country was headed in the wrong direction, 64% feel that way now.
How does Obama square these facts with his sunny outlook? He doesn't. He just ignores them. But the public knows what's going on..."

Appearing on Thursday’sBreitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton addressed the “famous email flap” from Donald Trump’s press conference on Wednesday.
“I heard what he said. He did not call on the Russians to hack into Hillary’s computer,” Bolton said. “He was making the point – I understood it when I heard it the first time;
I’m sure most people did – that the Russians probably already had her emails.
They got them when Hillary put them in that unsecured email server.”
“What Trump was saying was the Russians are already there.
They probably know more about Hillary’s email than the FBI because Hillary’s lawyers erased all those 30,000 emails that were not turned over to the State Department,” Bolton noted, adding:

Anyone can now print out all TSA master keys:
"Shortly after The Washington Post inadvertently published a photo of seven TSA master keys, a group of security experts were able to copy their designs and release their 3D models online.
Now, these same experts have deciphered the secrets of the eighth and last master key the agency uses even without a photo to guide them.
The first seven keys are manufactured by a company called Travel Sentry, while this one is by a separate manufacturer named Safe Skies.
Since the hackers didn't have a photo of the last key, they bought as many Safe Skies locks as possible, took them apart and examined their innards.
