SURVIVAL OF THE FIBBEST – AT 9:14 A.M. ET:   Nothing to see, nothing to see.  From Fox:

Donations to the Clinton Foundation by Swiss bank UBS increased tenfold after Hillary Clinton intervened to settle a dispute with the IRS early in her tenure as secretary of state, according to a published report.

According to the Wall Street Journal, total donations by UBS to the foundation grew from less than $60,000 at the end of 2008 to approximately $600,000 by the end of 2014. The Journal reports that the bank also lent $32 million through entrepreneurship and inner-city loan programs it launched in association with the foundation, while paying former President Bill Clinton $1.5 million to participate in a series of corporate question-and-answer sessions with UBS Chief Executive Bob McCann.

COMMENT:  Oh dear, oh dear.  I'm shocked that anyone would suggest that our gracious queen was engaged in anything improper.  How could a grandmother do such a thing?  Stop laughing. 

In fact, bottom line, I think Hillary is starting to look like toast.  Her numbers are fading, the party is turning on her, and, despite the fact that she's still the frontrunner for the Dem nomination for president, she suffers an enthusiasm gap that makes some Dems yearn for Michael Dukakis.

And we're just starting the campaign season.
