For the Record

I'm wrong and contrary to popular belief, I am always the first to acknowledge it.

I have on three occasions referenced Colin Powell using a private server while he was Secretary of State. This was an old story that cited independent fact that unlike Clinton it was housed at RNC Headquarters.

According to everything I have now found through multiple disinterested parties is this is not true.

Powell did use his private AOL email account for everything including government business unless it was a highly classified item which warranted a SCIFF.

My apologies to my readers and to Colin Powell.

See how transparency and accountability actually works.

At the center of it all a rainmaker the likes of which has never been seen in modern American politics, his name is Donald J. Trump and he may very well be the next President of the United States. Contrary to media reports Trump has not had a bad week. He's had another great week because he is still constantly being talked about and he loves it. The revelations about him posing as his own publicist in the early 1990's has surfaced but it means nothing, because it's a dead and done story. It was proven at the time, the voice on the tape is clearly his and he admitted it at the time. Not only in print but in a court of law. He is now lying and saying it's not true.
