WHY IS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION LETTING PEOPLE DIE? Zika Funds Not Going Anywhere Fast Until Next Year, HHS Says. “Hundreds of millions of dollars approved by Congress last month to fight Zika won’t go anywhere until the beginning of next year — almost a full year after it was first requested, federal officials said Tuesday.”

WIKILEAKS: Email Shows That Clinton Seeks ‘the Unraveling’ of Obamacare.

In the email, Clinton conveys her support for Republicans’ ill-advised effort to repeal—or delay—Obamacare’s “Cadillac tax.” (Such efforts are ill-advised because Republicans should be pushing for full repeal, not catering to various interest groups in pushing for partial repeal.) But the striking thing is Clinton’s motivation: She wants the Democrats “to be careful” to let the Republicans’ legislation pass, because that legislation, she conveys, “begins the unraveling of the ACA” [Obamacare].

That doesn’t sound like someone who’s trying to make Obamacare better, which Clinton has campaigned as being committed to doing. Rather, while posing as an Obamacare supporter, she has been eager to see President Obama’s signature legislation “unravel,” so that it can to give way to a true government monopoly.

“The worse, the better,” as another leftist is supposed to have said.

IT’S A POPULAR IDEA: Trump proposes term limits for Congress.

Donald Trump on Tuesday called for term limits in Congress as part of his new ethics reform proposal.

“If I’m elected president I will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress,” Trump said at a rally in Colorado Springs, Colo. “Decades of failure in Washington and decades of special-interest dealing must and will come to an end.”

“Not only will it end our government corruption, but we will end the economic stagnation that we’re in right now — no growth,” Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, added of the proposal.

Trump released a five-point ethics plan Monday night in an effort to “drain the swamp” in Washington.

He also wants Congress to pass a law preventing all administration officials, lawmakers and congressional aides from lobbying the government for five years after leaving public service.

He should endorse my revolving-door surtax. It has bipartisan support!

GREAT MOMENTS IN CHUTZPAH: President Barack Obama has some advice for Donald Trump: Man up.

You first, Chief.

RICH LOWRY: How Team Hillary secretly sees the world.

A certain high-handedness and bad faith pervades the entire Clinton campaign. Hillary Clinton was perfectly comfortable with the globe-trotting financiers throwing six-figure speaking fees at her, but then had to turn around and shovel boob bait for Bubba at her party’s inflamed left-wing activists, who hate those very financiers and their views on trade, among many other things.

The Clinton campaign’s predicament was captured in microcosm by spokesman Brian Fallon. In September 2015, he worried about an op-ed attacking the Keystone Pipeline that, he noted, had already been extensively edited and re-edited.

Secretary of State Clinton had, reasonably enough, indicated she’d likely support the pipeline and now she was coming out against. Will her newly aggressive opposition, Fallon wondered, “be greeted cynically and perhaps as part of some manufactured attempt to project sincerity?”

Yeah, probably — like much of what she says and does.

SHOT: Millennials Aren’t Fired Up by 2016 Presidential Campaign: Decline in interest since 2008 and 2012 is a worry for Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign. “I don’t see the enthusiasm we saw even in 2012, and certainly not the kind of enthusiasm we saw in 2008.”

Chaser: In Hindsight, Backers of Bernie Sanders Lament What Might Have Been. “If he had only attacked Mrs. Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state, instead of offering her a reprieve, some supporters lamented, perhaps things would have been different. And now, as Mrs. Clinton contends with daily disclosures from the hacked messages of top campaign aides — missives that have reinforced the central progressive criticisms of her bid, including her coziness with Wall Street — some of Mr. Sanders’s admirers have been compelled to consider again what might have been.”

IMAGINE IF DONALD TRUMP, INSTEAD OF BILL CLINTON, HAD TOLD THIS JOKE:

In a chapter titled “Charm Offensives,” Halper reports on a very strange encounter the former president allegedly had with a group of rich Republicans at the 2003 running of the Preakness, where Clinton allegedly told off-color jokes at the Turf Club of Baltimore’s Pimlico Race Course.

According to Halper, Clinton—“always eager to please”— told his embarrassed audience a joke that began: “These two old Jews are walking down the street.”

“As the joke begins, everyone around the table looks dubious,” Halper writes. “Where is he going with this? Surely the former president of the United States is not about to tell an anti-Semitic story in front of people he hardly knows. This, of course, is exactly what he does, according to a number of people present.”

Briefly, the joke has the two Jewish codgers walking by a Catholic church, where a sign out front offers $100 to converts. One of the Jews, named Abe, agrees to convert and give half the proceeds to his friend. Abe meets with the priests, learns the traditions of the church, is declared a Catholic, and collects his reward.

“Hey! Look at the new Catholic here,” Abe’s friend says. “You got my money?”

To which Abe retorts: “You fucking Jews. It’s all about the money, isn’t it.”

Halper writes: “As the former president laughs, the others offer weak smiles. No one wants to offend him.”

Why not?

WHY HILLARY GOT 200 GRAND A POP FOR HER WALL STREET SPEECHES: “Knowing Hillary’s genuine policy goals is very valuable to investors and business planners. Wall Street toffs who pay her top dollar speaking fees receive off the record insider info American proles don’t get to hear.” See, she holds public and private positions.

TO BE FAIR, ISN’T THIS WHAT SOMEONE WHO RIGGED AN ELECTION WOULD SAY?

JAMES O’KEEFE GETS RESULTS: More Veritas Fallout: Bob Creamer Steps Away From Clinton Campaign. “Creamer, a master of dark political ops, was caught on video affirming that Clinton is aware of ‘all’ of his work, and his group Democracy Partners has a daily telephone call with the Clinton campaign to coordinate efforts. Yesterday, Scott Foval, the former National Field Director of Americans United for Change, was fired from that organization. Foval can be seen in the first video bragging about paying homeless and mentally ill individuals to cause disruptions at political events, and explaining how Democrats have been committing voter fraud on a massive scale for 50 years, in the second video.”

MORE PROBLEMS: AT THE CDC: “Concerns about the inner workings of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been mounting in recent months amid disclosures of cozy corporate alliances. Now a group of more than a dozen senior scientists have reportedly lodged an ethics complaint alleging the federal agency is being influenced by corporate and political interests in ways that short-change taxpayers.”

ACTUALLY, HILLARY’S CRIMES ARE EASILY EXPLAINED: Here’s how. They inter-relate. And yes, FBI Director Comey compromised his own organization. Great legacy there, Jim.

FAILURE MODE: EXTREME. Man undergoes emergency surgery after eating ghost chili pepper.

HUGE, IF TRUE: Massive US health tab for hormone-disrupting chemicals.

Exposure to tiny doses of hormone-disrupting chemicals is responsible for at least $340 billion (310 billion euros) in health-related costs each year in the United States, according to a report published Tuesday.

So-called endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are found in thousands of everyday products, ranging from plastic and metal food containers, to detergents, flame retardants, toys and cosmetics.

Neurological damage and behavioural problems, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism and loss of IQ, accounted for at least four-fifths of these impacts, researchers said in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, a medical journal.

The invisible but dangerous chemicals also boosted obesity, diabetes, some cancers, male infertility and a painful condition known as endometriosis, the abnormal growth of tissue outside the uterus.

The economic impact of the chemicals leaves a huge, two percent dent in the US’ gross domestic product (GDP) each year.

“Our research adds to the growing evidence on the tremendous economic as well as human health costs of endocrine-disrupting chemicals,” said lead investigator Leonardo Trasande, an associate professor at NYU Langone in New York City.

“This has the potential to develop into a much larger health and economic issue if no policy action is taken,” he told AFP.

The body’s endocrine tissues produce essential hormones that help regulate energy levels, reproduction, growth, development, as well as our response to stress and injury.

Mimicking naturally occurring hormones such as oestrogen and androgen, EDCs lock on to receptors within a human cell and block the body’s own hormones from binding with it.

I’d like to see more research.
