Fort Lauderdale

I hope there is a special place in hell for someone who would randomly murder 5 fellow human beings who are doing nothing more than picking up their baggage and starting a vacation in the sun.  Expect to hear all the excuses of why this guy completely lost it and began destroying the lives of his recent fellow passengers.  Bad friends, terrible environment, awful parents, paranoid behavior and so on.  Someone missed the telling signs.  Shoulda been placed under care. 

Heard it all before.  Five families have lost a son, daughter, father (we don't know gender, age or family status as yet) and the killer will spend years in court hearings and mental exams.

I don't have an answer.  Hoping someone does because anyone of us could be the next victim.

The Russians Are Not Coming

How tired are you over the Russian "hacking" stories?  I don't know if they actually accessed the files or emails of the DNC or Hillary adviser, John Podesta but someone did and passed the files on to Wikileaks.  Election technology, polls or voting equipment were never compromised although the published emails may have changed some minds about who they were voting for.  The Russian episode has done nothing more than shake up the political parties and expose the rampant corruption in the political system.  So the intelligence community is closing ranks, pointing fingers and tightening their procedures.

So Vlad, you may not have seriously infiltrated our intelligence services but you've got 'em working nights.

Hillary for Mayor

Now we know.  Hillary really didn't care about becoming president.  It's Mayor of  New York City that she really wants.  Strong rumors this week (or is someone just floating the idea?) that Hillary will throw her hat in the ring sending Deblasio to the political sidelines.  She could probably win this one easily, be Mayor of the Donald's hometown and bring Huma and Weiner along for the ride.

Could happen.
