[Breitbart] WASHINGTON -- Two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether Hillary Rodham Clinton mishandled sensitive government information on a private email account she used as secretary of state, senior government officials said Thursday.
The request follows an assessment in a June 29 memo by the inspectors general for the State Department and the intelligence agencies that Mrs. Clinton's private account contained "hundreds of potentially classified emails." The memo was written to Patrick F. Kennedy, the under secretary of state for management.
It is not clear if any of the information in the emails was marked as classified by the State Department when Mrs. Clinton sent or received them.
But since her use of a private email account for official State Department business was revealed in March, she has repeatedly said that she had no classified information on the account. Link to full NYT story, yes NYT.

I've not compared the two JV. After I posted, I discovered there had been a..... slight modification, referred to as a "correction." Obviously someone at the NYT got the call.
[Free Bacon] During a time when the Champ regime is trying to prevent some senior citizens from obtaining guns, firearm production in the United States has skyrocketed to an unprecedented level.
A report released Wednesday by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) indicates that gun manufacturing in the United States has seen a 140 percent spike during the Obama administration.
According to the 2015 Firearms Commerce in the United States Annual Statistical Update, the number of guns produced in the U.S. has increased from about 4.5 million in 2008 to over 10.8 million in 2013, meaning that the number of firearms manufactured annually has more than doubled since Obama took office.
In contrast, gun production increased by only about 20 percent during the George W. Bush administration and decreased by 10 percent during the Clinton administration.
A recent U.S. poll indicates America has not entered the post-racial "world of harmony" that so many had envisioned with the election of the country's first African American president. Even I was hopeful, at first.
Almost six in 10 Americans, including large majorities of both blacks and whites, say they think current race relations are bad, while nearly four in 10 think race relations in the country are getting worse, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll conducted last week.
In 2008, during Obama's first presidential campaign, almost 60 percent of African Americans described race relations as "generally bad." That number was reduced by half right after his election. Now, however, 68 percent of African Americans say they think relations are bad. Not that much change in that tribe.
The report on the poll in The New York Times says this is the "highest level of discontent among blacks during the Obama years and close to the numbers recorded in the aftermath of the riots that followed the 1992 acquittal of Los Angeles police officers charged in the beating of Rodney King." Leave it to the Slimes to pick at that old scar.
The poll comes after the mass media attention and demonstrations following a number of killings of black men at the hands of white police officers, Leave it to the media to continuously beat that drum.
as well as the killing of Bible study group members in an AME church in Charleston, South Carolina by a young, white man. Who on at least one occasion, displayed a Confederate flag.
Only the eternal optimists a fifth of those surveyed think race relations are improving. Forty percent of both blacks and whites said race relations are "essentially the same." Horrible then and horrible now. Cheerful group!
Nearly half of those surveyed said the election of the country's first black president has had no effect on bringing the races together. A third said it had driven them further apart. Fifteen percent said race relations have improved. As opposed to the 20% in the previous paragraph.
A hefty 72 percent of African Americans said they approved of the way Obama is handling race relations, compared with 40 percent for whites. Every one of them voted Democratic, some of them several times, whether they knew it or not.

Fairly obvious result of the race pandering/baiting that has been going on. The pandering brought out the worst elements of the black community for all to see, and the rest responded to what they saw with disgust.
Doesn't mean that things can't be restored, but the black community needs an alternative to the thug life and I just don't see studying and going to college being a big-time competitor.
I couldn't vote for him and was cynically skeptical when he won, but I too hoped this might be possible.
I still think it would have if the black elected was a true American in thought, word and deed. A Clarence Thomas or Tom Sowell for instance.
That sort of individual could tell the black community all the uncomfortable truths in an "only Nixon could go to China" sort of way. The president needs to be seen as trustworthy by all. not as a vengeful panderer for one.

Outsider's view: the 1980s seemed to be the high-point of hope that race relations were good and improving in the US. Every second movie I saw as a kid had black-white buddy cops in it. I took it for granted that the US was normal, if you went there you'd see black and white people living next door, going to school and work together.
Then I went there in 2002.
I saw a crazy black woman crying in a parking lot in San Francisco near the city centre. So naturally I went up and asked if she was OK. She nearly attacked me. She chased me down the street. I told some black shoe shine guys who asked me if I was crazy to go and talk to her.
Then I saw 5 black guys dealing crack cocaine in front of my eyes. I saw them passing white rocks of it around and exchanging for cash. This is day 1 in San Francisco, walking distance from union square.
Someone yelled and threw a terracotta flowerpot from a second story window and it smashed on the road. If it hit someone on the head it could have killed them.
Holy crap.
Now, 2015, on the news, I see race war. I see black rioters in the streets. A police force that appears as a law unto itself, and a few screw-loose whites shooting up black churches trying to start a race war.
What went wrong?
I think the victim chip-on-the-shoulder attitude. There should not be "African americans" just "Americans".
They've been out of africa a few centuries now, wouldn't last 2 seconds in west africa. Drop the whole "different culture" bullshit.
Plus - conscription. One year compulsory military service age 15 all kids, no exceptions. Black and white get mixed up and sent away from their home state, where they know nobody. They work hard, make new friends. Break it up and make them citizens.

What do you expect when we elect a community organizer for president. Has a community Organizer ever actually solve a problem (real or imaginary)?
No, their job is to agitate the community. To point out so-called 'wrongs' (again - real or imaginary) and get people all stirred up about them.
Their entire existence depends on those 'wrongs' being magnified all out of proportion. Why the hell would they ever actually solve anything? It's their bread and butter.
And that is exactly what this administration has been doing. Simply magnifying some perceived wrong (Real or Imaginary) and act all concerned and agate the public. Never, ever, solving anything and doing everything they can to prevent the problems being solved. Arizona passes an immigration law - file a lawsuit and stop it. Voter-id - file a lawsuit and stop it. Winning in Iraq? Pull our troops out and leave a vacuume to be filled by someone like ISIS. Sanctions becoming effective in Iran? Negotiate a surrender to them where they get whatever they want and we get nothing but empty promises.
It's what this administration is - a glorified community agitator organizer.

One side's concept of a dialogue is for everyone else to sit down and STFU and obey (then they go berserk when a law enforcement officer tells them to do the same thing).

O voters, I used to endeavor
To look for your bright side. However,
I'm left blue and lonely
And fearing he's only
The first worst black President ever.

"The haters are racist. Whatever."
Yet you voted color. Damn clever!
"Next time we'll do better
And cast off this fetter,"
Said no Dem politico, ever.
[Daily Caller] During a question and answer session at a campaign stop in West Columbia, S.C. on Thursday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton declined to reprimand an audience member who asserted that Israel is an apartheid state. Cognizant of her audience was she ?
The questioner, who was one of about 400 people in attendance at Brookland Baptist Church, asked Clinton about her position on homelessness, criminal justice reform, and, finally, U.S. support for Israel.
"My third question is about Israel," she began. "We spend too much money, $6 billion dollars to Israel, funding apartheid. There is not the shared values that we are supposed to share with Israel."
The notoriously careful Clinton avoided disagreeing with the woman's assertion and sidestepped U.S.-Israeli relations altogether.
