HILLARY’S CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: Mills’ influence tainted review board.

Cheryl Mills, the longtime attorney, friend and former chief of staff for Hillary Clinton, influenced the findings of an internal State Department review of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a draft of the final House Benghazi Committee report.

A section of the report obtained by POLITICO says the so-called Accountability Review Board did not act independently, as it was supposed to do, and was consistently influenced by Mills. Mills, the report says, helped select members of the panel, gave at least one other State Department official permission to talk to the reviewers, oversaw the production of some documents reviewed by the board and helped edit the final report.

“The decisions to deviate from longstanding processes raise questions about the board’s independence, thoroughness and therefore the fullness of their findings of accountability,” the report reads.

What do they think Mills was hired for, anyway?

OH, THAT LIBERAL FASCISM. Flagrantly Foul: NBA coach Steve Kerr rails against ‘totally outdated Bill of Rights.’

I can remember when pro sports used to be an escape from politics, not politics by other means. On the other hand, if you believe in the Constitution, it’s good to know that the face of the Golden State Warriors doesn’t want you at his games or buying his team’s merchandise. Spend your money accordingly.

DONALD TRUMP: Elizabeth Warren Is A “Racist.”

Donald Trump lashed out at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Monday, calling her a “racist” and a “total fraud.”

Speaking in an interview with NBC News correspondent Hallie Jackson, Trump retaliated against Warren, who described him as a bigot just hours earlier at a campaign stop with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in Ohio. . . .

“We call her Pocahontas for a reason,” Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, told NBC. “She said she’s 5 percent Native American. She was unable to prove it. She used the fact that she was Native American to advance her career. Elizabeth Warren is a total fraud. I know it. Other people who work with her know it. Elizabeth Warren is a total fraud.

“She made up her heritage, which I think is racist,” Trump continued. “I think she’s a racist, actually, because what she did was very racist.”

Trump has repeatedly hammered Warren over a controversy that flared up during her 2012 Senate run over her claims that she has Native American ancestry. During her tenure as a professor at Harvard University, the school touted those claims as evidence of its diverse faculty.

Trump on Monday went on to call Warren “one of the least productive senators in the United States Senate,” and said he hopes Clinton picks her for vice president so that he can “speak very openly about her.”

WATCH STEVEN CROWDER SMACK DOWN BRITISH SKYNEWS HOST ON THE ISSUE OF GUNS: “What you’ve just said is entirely false…. you said ‘automatic weapons.’ Respectfully, I don’t think you know the difference between an automatic weapon or a semi-automatic weapon.

UNIVERSITIES PROVIDE EQUAL TREATMENT, WOMEN AND MINORITIES HARDEST HIT: Colleges adopted policies to stop the tenure clock to help professors who are new parents, especially mothers. Study suggests fathers may be the real beneficiaries. “The authors of the new paper speculate that male economists who become fathers are taking the extra year on the tenure track not to nurture their offspring, but to write more articles and to have time to submit them to top journals.”

Having and securing a good job is one of the chief ways men nurture their offspring. It’s sexist to ignore that, and to suggest that there’s only one, female-defined, style of nurturing.

THE PROBLEM OF OUR TERRIBLE POLITICAL CLASS IS WORLDWIDE: Brexit is not just Europe’s problem. It highlights a crisis in democracies worldwide.

Britain’s political system remained in turmoil Monday, virtually leaderless and with the two major parties divided internally. But the meltdown that has taken place in the days after voters decided to break the country’s ties with Europe is more than a British problem, reflecting an erosion in public confidence that afflicts democracies around the world.

Last Thursday’s Brexit vote cast a bright light on the degree to which the effects of globalization and the impact of immigration, along with decades of overpromises and under-delivery by political leaders, have undermined the ability of those officials to lead. This collapse of confidence has created what amounts to a crisis in governing for which there seems no easy or quick answer.

Perhaps we should stop choosing leaders from elite university backgrounds.

DAMON LINKER: How Brexit shattered progressives’ dearest illusions.

As I said, lots of reasons to worry.

But what we’ve seen from a wide range of writers and analysts in the days since the Brexit vote is not necessarily worry. It is shock. Fury. Disgust. Despair. A faith has been shaken, illusions shattered, pieties punctured. This is what happens when a life-orienting system of belief gets smashed on the rocks of history.

The name of that shattered system of belief? Progressivism.

Oops.

TRUE: Elitist Rage With the Pro-Brexit Masses Echoes Longstanding British Suspicion of Democracy.

This is as ugly an anti-masses sentiment as I can remember. And the consequences of it are likely to be dire. Ordinary people are effectively being told they’re too dumb for politics. And democracy is being treated as a negotiable commodity that can be cast aside if we the stupid people make the wrong decision. This is a species of tyranny. The mask has slipped. Our normally conscientious elite, feeling bruised and aloof after the referendum, has dispensed with its usual platitudes about “respecting all views,” and shown that beneath the polite veneer there lurks an ancient fury with the least and the dumbest; with the masses; with the people.

Hang a few from the lampposts and the rest will be more judicious. That’s the traditional remedy.
