The classification system for our military operational and logistical secrets (and, don’t forget Operational Security, or OPSEC) is a very serious matter. Serious enough that the lives of our armed forces depend on it, and serious enough that if you misuse or release classified information, you could end up in jail at the very least. The highest punishment for the release of classified information is a charge of treason. In peacetime (that means when we aren’t at war with anyone) being guilty of treason means a very, very long prison sentence. During wartime (that means when we have combat troops deployed and defending assets with live ammunition) a charge of treason can result in your execution.

It’s kind of a big deal.

Hillary Clinton, while Secretary of State for the United States, made the apparently common and unavoidable mistake of setting up a private e-mail server for her official communications, including classified information in those emails. James Comey, the FBI director, found that in spite of this, former Secretary Hillary Clinton should not be prosecuted for mishandling of classified information, setting the precedent of allowing Democrats to flaunt national security at will.

Having just gone through several hearings, briefings, and being reminded that (C) is not just for cookie, Hillary once again disregarded national security and broadcast top secret information in the clear on global television during the October 19, 2016 Presidential Debates. Either she is purposely releasing classified information in the clear, in which case she is unfit for the Presidency, or she is so blind to what security actually entails that she is unfit for the Presidency.

Oh, you need proof?

Skip ahead to the 6:30 mark and listen from there.

Well, I can’t blame Obama(THHO) for this, so I won’t. Last night a big storm blew through Central Phoenix and it happened to knock out the power for the block where the plant I work at is located. SO, day off, most likely. If the power is restored, I may go in later. Otherwise I am taking a vacation day. I have a few things to catch up around here.

Went to the VA audiology yesterday after work, got a hearing test done (surprise! I’m hard of hearing) and the VA is issuing a set of hearing aids for me. They will be ready on or about the 21st.

I could not locate my six-disc Bluray set of the Star Wars movies. We had cleaned out all the hiding spots for movies (we thought) and we were stumped. A similar issue had arisen a few years ago, with a bunch of movies starring one actor, and we never did find those. I happened to be cleaning out a cabinet this morning, and found the Star Wars discs. Of course, I have Episode 1 playing as I type.

My Kindle is dying. It constantly needs to be reset, and it takes a while to reload all of the books I have collected. I will be contacting Amazon later today.

The genealogy portion of this web site has been dormant for a while. I will be updating what I can.

The GOP is sure fired up about some non-traditional candidates, are they not? I haven’t seen vitriol and attacks like this from the GOP since … well, since Reagan ran for President …
