Hidden facts in today’s news

By Dan Barber

From the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS -- Here is a New York newspaper article that leads with a negative comment about Trump's fear of a Fox News host to an anonymous "online report!" This paper has two journalists Adam Edelman and Celeste Katz writing this article. I would ask, is that the best research they can do? This veiled attack by a news organization on both Trump and Fox New's Megyn Kelly makes me want to like them both more.

From BLOOMBERG NEWS -- Wow, an article about a successful approach to retirement "accidentally" occurring to a Berkeley economics graduate who went to work for Notre Dame, a Catholic university, where her employer had a mandatory but generous retirement savings plan for employees.

Now she works at the New School in New York that proudly touts itself as a progressive university and she is one of Clinton's economics advisors. According to this article her second husband recently went to work for George Soros, a well-known progressive liberal money manager. She wants the government to give everyone the same savings benefits that Notre Dame made her participate in.

The irony of this article in Bloomberg by Carla Fried is trying to twist personal responsibility that this liberal progressive "unknowing" economic professor fell into as a young person is now hated by the very organization that touts personal responsibility.

I would question this associate professor's ability to come up with any original "progressive" idea on economic planning other than distributing other people's money to everyone else. Also, according to the article she and her husband plan to move into a commune type of living arrangement in their old age. I wonder if she is advising Hillary that socialism is the way to go for America's future. Carla Fried your headline is a bit misleading... the subject of your article does not have any new economic ideas.

From the WASHINGTON POST -- Failure to delegate responsibility to more knowledgeable managers and failure to trust those senior leaders to do their jobs can only lead to disaster for everyone. The Washington Post has finally pointed out the problems our country faces with national security and foreign policy. We can't be led by committee or a leader paralyzed by fear of action. Our current President will go down in history as an example of the "Peter Principle" where a person is promoted to their level of incompetency. Obama is probably a fine community or union organizer but a lousy President of the United States.

From the WASHINGTON POST -- There are so many things wrong with Clinton's use of a private e-mail setup and her attempt to cover up her perceived or real wrong-doing, or bad decisions she made while serving as Secretary of State. 

From my own personal experience of working for the federal government, I had to save every official document I worked with. Also, I was not allowed to plug in a thumb drive or even a digital camera into the computer that was connected to the official government internet system. I actually had three computers in my office, one stand-alone computer that I used to program our closed circuit television system for patient and staff training, one that I used to create the hospital newsletter, command website and other graphic products where I could transfer to a thumb drive to physically deliver to our contracted civilian publisher (rules prohibited me from sending my official work over the government provided internet connection). 

I programmed our command website with weekly updates and changes and saved those changes on a CD, I then personally loaded that CD on a "stand-alone" computer in our command's secure IT server vault. 

I was required to complete annual training to ensure that I understood federal government REQUIREMENTS on government records retention and security. Apparently Clinton considers herself above the rules every government employee must abide by.
