SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:56 P.M. ET:

THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION – From London's Daily Mail:  "Hillary Clinton reportedly charged a Boys and Girls Club chapter $200,000 for an appearance, then left the premise without saying hello to children who benefit from the program.  The massive fee, which she donated back to her family foundation, was the largest the Long Beach, California, organization had ever paid a public figure for a speech, Politico reports.  By contrast, the club made $106,000 off the lunchtime, charity event - its lowest yield in 25 years. A contributing factor to the diminished proceeds: Clinton's large entourage that took up seats that would have otherwise been sold to donors."  Such style, such class.  Such Clinton.

MORE HILLARY, OUR HEROINE – From Breitbart:  "On Sunday, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager would not commit to releasing her health records during the 2016 campaign.  Face the Nation host John Dickerson pointed out that 'Hillary Clinton had a big health scare when she was secretary of state' and asked campaign manager Robby Mook, 'will she release her medial records as part of this campaign?'  'I will let Hillary decide that,' Mook answered. 'But I can tell you she has been hitting the campaign trail hard.'  In 2012, Clinton had to delay her Benghazi testimony to Congress after she fell and suffered a concussion. She later was treated for a blood clot in her brain, which experts said could have been 'life threatening.' Though Clinton joked about her 'cracked head' in emails that the State Department recently released, Bill Clinton revealed last year that Hillary’s injuries 'required six months of very serious work to get over.'"  Do you think Bill is trying to torpedo Hillary's campaign?  I've often had that feeling.  Come home, Hillary.  Come home.

OH, ISN'T THIS COMFORTING? – From the New York Daily News:  "Prosecutors say a man charged with orchestrating a shootout at an anti-Islam event in Texas wanted to join Islamic State and attack the Super Bowl.  The revelation at a court hearing for Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem shows that the Phoenix-based plot extended beyond last month's shootout at a Prophet Muhammad cartoon event in Texas that led to the deaths of two roommates."  Sooner or later ISIS is going to stage an event here.  Maybe they'll wait until Barack Obama becomes secretary-general of the UN, and can condemn America for "provocations."
