WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama will change the name of North America's tallest mountain peak from Mount McKinley to Denali, the White House said Sunday, a major symbolic gesture to Alaska Natives on the eve of the president's historic visit to Alaska.
By renaming the peak Denali, an Athabascan word meaning "the high one," Obama waded into a sensitive and decades-old conflict between residents of Alaska and Ohio. Alaskans have informally called the mountain Denali for years, but the federal government recognizes its name invoking the 25th president, William McKinley, who was born in Ohio and assassinated early in his second term. Little wonder Champ wishes to banish the name and legacy of President McKinley.

Yep, the last President (R) that had served in the Civil War. Did more to really help blacks than the present occupant and his party of slavery. Down the memory whole in the name of (anti-majority rule) diversity.

Hillary Clinton’s private email server was housed at the same physical location and on the same network as an email server used and operated by the Clinton Foundation, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.
Records reveal that Hillary Clinton’s private clintonemail.com server shared an IP address with her husband Bill Clinton’s email server, presidentclinton.com, and both servers were housed in New York City, not in the basement of the Clintons’ Chappaqua, New York home.

Application of the open source hacker tool "The Harvester" to the clintonemail.com website revealed that at least 10 email addresses, in addition the one that Clinton used exclusively when she served as Secretary of State, (hdr22@clintonemail.com) were installed on the Clinton email server.
Also running on the Clinton server were several additional email addresses linked to the name "Huma Abedin".
Records maintained by Lexis-Nexis contains an address for huma@clintonemail.com.
Test emails sent to that to that address (prior to the Clinton server being taken off line) went through without error.
