THERE HAVE BEEN MORE “LOST” RECORDS IN THIS ADMINISTRATION THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT: Air Force has lost 100,000 inspector general records.

The Air Force announced on Friday that it has lost thousands of records belonging to the service’s inspector general due to a database crash.

“We estimate we’ve lost information for 100,000 cases dating back to 2004,” Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek told The Hill in an email.

“The database crashed and there is no data,” Stefanek said. “At this time we don’t have any evidence of malicious intent.”

The database, called the Automated Case Tracking System (ACTS), holds all records related to IG complaints, investigations, appeals andFreedom of Information Act requests.

“The exception is senior official data which is maintained in a separate database,” the Air Force said in a statement. “We also use ACTS to track congressional/constituent inquiries.”

The Air Force said it was notified on June 6 by a contractor that administers the database of records that the data within was “corrupted,” according to a statement.

Apt term, I suspect.

ELTON JOHN INFLATES THE BIG GAY MARRIAGE LIE.

IT’S A SHOW ABOUT NOTHING:

Oh, please. Obama, to the surprise of no one, has endorsed Hillary Clinton and now he’s trying to convince us that there’s never “been someone so qualified to hold” the office of president. She was a First Lady whose major policy responsibility ended up in a fiasco not even brought up to a vote by a Democrat-controlled Congress. On the strength of sympathy for her as the scorned wife she was elected senator against weak opposition. She served for eight years in the Senate without having done anything there that anyone can remember. Then she served four years as Secretary of State and still has no accomplishments from that job that she can brag about. And this makes her the most qualified candidate ever? I know that Obama doesn’t know much history, but this is just silly.

Like Delta Tau Chi, Hillary has a “long tradition of existence,” which apparently is all that is needed to run for the White House these days.

YOU SPELLED ‘RACKET’ WRONG: The Diversity Profession.

In the 1960s, universities caved to the demands of radicals on campus by expanding academic departments to include women’s studies, black studies, and, more recently, “queer studies.” These programs are college mainstays, making up in ideological vigor what they lack in academic rigor.

But it wasn’t until the ’80s and ’90s that universities began to expand their support of nonacademic centers offering extracurricular programs to promote what they called diversity and inclusion. In practice they did just the opposite. Universities such as Cornell offered students race-specific dormitories. The goal was to make minority students feel more at home on campus. And though schools couldn’t officially discriminate regarding who was placed in these race-designated dorms, self-segregation resulted.

Today, most of the ferment on campus comes not from academic departments—even the most politically charged ones—but from diversity centers and the faculty and administrators who staff them. At Yale, for instance, the Afro-American Cultural Center hosts a “Black Solidarity” conference each year. Its Social Justice programming includes a Black Lives Matter series. The emphasis of these centers is not just academic study but social action.

Another such diversity outfit at Yale is the Intercultural Affairs Council, which sparked a controversy last October with an email to students warning them not to wear racially or culturally insensitive Halloween costumes. One contrarian lecturer made the mistake of disagreeing. Protests ensued. By the time the fuss was over, the university had committed $50 million for diversity training and recruiting.

The student “activists” are usually just tools of these educrats. Plus:

Rather than offering them more resources, college administrators should reduce their ranks and eventually get rid of them altogether. As professors Jonathan Haidt of New York University and Lee Jussim of Rutgers recently noted in the Wall Street Journal, most of the diversity-promotion efforts on campus actually increase resentment on the part of both white and minority students. “There may be academic reasons for creating these ethnic centers,” Haidt writes, “but if the goal of expanding such programs is to foster a welcoming and inclusive culture on campus, the best current research suggests that the effort will backfire.”

Yes.

If I’m Trump, here’s my pitch:

So the USA Today — very bad paper, they call it McPaper, but that’s unfair because McDonald’s offers real value, have you tried their dollar menu? Superb! — says I don’t pay my bills. That’s crazy, I’m like the best bill-payer you’ll ever see. I pay bills I haven’t even gotten yet.

So when we go bust — and we will — don’t you want a guy at the helm who can stiff his creditors and still come out smelling like a rose? Of course you do! And that’s me, not Crooked Hillary!

Hell, in this election season, that might just work.
