SHE WAS A DISASTROUS SECRETARY OF STATE: Sanders jabs at Clinton’s foreign policy credentials following speech.

Bernie Sanders took a swipe at Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy credentials on Thursday in the wake of her speech attacking Donald Trump’s proposals.

“I agree with Secretary Clinton that Donald Trump’s foreign policy ideas are incredibly reckless and irresponsible,” Sanders said in a statement. “But when it comes to foreign policy, we cannot forget that Secretary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, the worst foreign policy blunder in modern American history, and that she has been a proponent of regime change, as in Libya, without thinking through the consequences.” . . .

Sanders has taken issue with Clinton’s own foreign policy, routinely blasting her for her early Iraq War support and her praise of Henry Kissinger, another former secretary of State.

Well, she tried to emulate Kissinger’s ability to dodge FOIA, but that was a disaster, too.

THE NEOCOMS AND THE SOULS  OF OUR CHILDREN: “I’m talking about Neocommunists…the former neocons who’ll now vote for Hillary Clinton, or whomever the Democrat nominee might be. Even Bernie Sanders, the man who brought his wife Jane to honeymoon in the Soviet Union in 1988. The Neocoms tell us they are fighting for the soul of our country. But the Democrats are more specific. They are fighting for the souls of our children.”

POLITICO: Why Some of the Smartest Progressives I Know Will Vote for Trump over Hillary. “To be sure, not all of my Sanders-supporting readers would vote for Trump. But only a minority would ever vote for Clinton, and I’d guess that a lot of them would just stay home if she were the nominee. Many of my readers tend to be very progressive, and they have been driven even further in that direction by their sophisticated understanding of the inequities of Wall Street, especially in the run-up to and the aftermath of the financial crisis, when no senior executives went to jail, the biggest banks got bigger, and Hillary paid homage to Goldman Sachs. True progressives, as opposed to the Vichy Left, recognize that the Clintons only helped these inequities along. They recognize that, both in the 1990s and now, the Clintons do not and have never represented them. They believe the most powerful move they can take to foster change is to withhold their support.”

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: A University Asked Alumni For Donation Money. One Grad Sent Them Back This Brutal E-mail.

I’m sorry to hear that the university’s $750 million endowment has fallen in value to $500 million because of the recession and because your bank died. I’m also sorry to hear that you’re dealing with declining enrollment due to the fact that middle-class families are no longer willing or able to bet their homes on a $45,000-a-year higher education for their children. I really am.

So, what I want to know is, why are you wasting money on glossy fundraising brochures full of meaningless synonyms for the word “excellence”? And, why are you sending them to ME? Yes, I know that I got a master’s degree at your fine institution, but that master’s degree hasn’t done jack shit for me since I got it! I have been unemployed for the past TWO YEARS and I am now a professional resume-submitter, sending out dozens of resumes a month to employers, and the degree I received in your hallowed halls is at the TOP of it, and it doesn’t do a f*cking thing.

You know, maybe if you wanted a little bit of money from me (and these days you’d get about $3), maybe you should send me a fancy color brochure admitting your role in the bubble economics that got us all into this mess.

Indeed.

DAN MARKEL UPDATE: Chief DeLeo: More arrests expected in Dan Markel murder-for-hire plot.

Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo stopped short of calling Dan Markel’s ex-wife Wendi Adelson, her brother or any other family members formal suspects in his murder at a news conference this afternoon.

But he did confirm the couple’s contentious divorce – they argued over money and custody of their two young sons – was “a motivating factor in this murder.”

He would not elaborate on whether any of the Adelsons are being watched or have been interviewed. When asked if he knows their whereabouts, he replied with a smirk: “We aren’t on speaking terms.”

DeLeo also confirmed that the relationship between Adelson’s brother, Charles Adelson, and the mother of suspect Sigfredo Garcia’s children, was “a very personal relationship.” The woman, Katherine Magbanua, was characterized in Garcia’s arrest documents as the link between the accused killer and the Adelsons.

Magbanua is still being investigated, DeLeo said.

“It is more probable than not there will be additional arrests,” he said.

Garcia’s accomplice, Luis Rivera, is currently being held in a federal correctional institution outside Orlando on unrelated charges, DeLeo added.
