Dear Ms. Esterhouse,

Thank you for the weight set, we've already put it to good use. Please accept this gift of 25,000 as a token of the foundation's appreciation. God bless and good luck on your house hunt in Bloomingdale.

http://dailycaller.com/2016/08/17/repor ... en-hacked/
The Clinton Foundation recently hired a private security firm to investigate suspicions its data systems were hacked, a new report says.

The Foundation hired FireEye recently to look at its systems and search for evidence of a hack, according to Reuters, citing unnamed sources. The Clinton Foundation has yet to comment on whether the report is accurate.
No emails or other internal documents from the Clinton Foundation have been released online. If they are, they could bolster claims by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump that foundation donors received special favors or access to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton while she was serving as secretary of state from 2009-2012.
No indication when it was hacked, and nothing has shown up on wikileaks yet....... :zilla: Assange mentioned a few months ago that he still had a big trove of emails to release, enough to get Hillary indicted and emails from the Clinton Foundation. He probably has the Clinton Foundation emails and is just waiting for the best time to release them.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Here's what would be really funny - the combo of Stein and Johnson throws the election into the house. After several ballots the compromise is Johnson. We move into a Libertarian paradise of legal dope and plenty of Mexicans to do the grunt work.

Color me hopeful.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

We got enough Mexicans. Thousands of homes are getting roofing shingles from hail storm in May. All the roofers, gutter and siding installers are Mexicans. Mariachi music coming out of boom boxes. Except when the nail guns are going.

That's a shame. A lot of money to be made in roofing. That should be a job Americans do. I was a roofer as a teenager, and we worked with a crew of white people, mostly Americans of Polish and other European descent. It's not a job "Americans won't do." I loved roofing. I made a boat load of cash, for a teenager, had the darkest tan I ever had, and I had not an ounce of fat on me.

It's fine if the Mexicans are here legally, but if they're in roofing, unless they were born here, they probably are not legally here.

They've got the roofing market pretty well sewed up around here. For some reason all the paving people are Brazilian. There are still a couple of white fencing contractors, but the Beaners are making inroads there too. Pretty much all the HVAC guys are white, but the last time I had A/C work done it was a black guy. Marine diesel mechanics are ALL white, and mostly old white guys. I guess crawling around in a hot engine room isn't as attractive to the youngsters despite the absolute shitpots of money you make. Mexicans do all the boat cleaning, but all the divers are young white males. Now there's a lucrative little job, underwater boat maintenance.

Yeah, the Brazilians do a lot of tile and flooring and paving work around me too. And, cleaning people -- house cleaners and such. When my kids get older, I'll show them how to make real money -- screw working for minimum wage at McDonalds or the drug store, or hostessing at a restaurant.

Wonder why that is? 10 years ago the tile guys were Mexican. Some sort of back room construction mafia deal?

I keep telling my daughters to get into pole dancing, if you got it, use it. But they insist on doing white collar work, one's an insurance and annuity agent and the other is still in university. Told them they were sitting on their best assets, but did they listen?

No. It's an expatriate thing, I think. Florida is rife with Brazilians now. I hear more Portuguese than Spanish when I go to the outlet malls with my wife. A fuck ton of them are illegal, and they hook up with other Brazilians and they work together.

Well, I'd not want my girls in that life, but they sure as shit are not going to be like these crackpot Progressive "intersectional" douchebags we get these days. There's not enough women in STEM! What's your major? Women's Studies! My three year old already knows more science than the average college age progressive crybully.

My youngest wants to be a dietician. She's good at math, and she's a decent programmer, but isn't interested in engineering or programming. She's just not the desk-bound type. To each their own. The oldest finally decided, after years as an office manager for an insurance agency, to move to the other side of the desk and become an agent. There's gold in them thar retiree hills, particularly in Scarysota, where the average age is 65 and the average net worth is 7 figures. She's blonde and cute, she'll sell the fuck out of annuities to these old crumblies.

Indeed, first and foremost is happiness. Money follows. To each her own. If she wants to be a dietician, then hell yeah -- dietician the fuck out of 'em! Not much money in dieticianing, but if one parlays that into other things -- selling some products or programs of one's own devising -- writing a book or something -- giving seminars. Lots of options.

My oldest is still in the fantasy stage. She wants to take rockets to the Moon, and Saturn. She wants to be a firefighter. She wants to be like Cinderella.
