SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET:

HUMBLE SERVANTS – From Fox:  "Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton earned more than $25 million combined in speaking fees since January 2014, Fox News confirmed Friday.  Clinton’s presidential campaign reported the income in a personal financial disclosure report filed with the Federal Election Commission. The form also shows that Hillary Clinton earned more than $5 million from her 2014 memoirs, 'Hard Choices.' Each White House candidate is required to disclose a financial report."  Harry Truman went back to Missouri after he left office, put his suitcases in the attic, and never cashed in on the presidency.  Ditto Dwight Eisenhower.  Some people have class, and some don't.

JUST WHAT WE NEED – This will certainly get the country moving again.  From Fox:  "One of the nation’s largest public school systems is preparing to include gender identity to its classroom curriculum, including lessons on sexual fluidity and spectrum – the idea that there’s no such thing as 100 percent boys or 100 percent girls.  Fairfax County Public Schools released a report recommending changes to their family life curriculum for grades 7 through 12.  The changes, which critics call radical gender ideology, will be formally introduced next week."   Fairfax is a Democratic stronghold in northern Virginia, just outside Washington.  This absurdity doesn't surprise me.  Can you just imagine the signs on the locker rooms:  "FOR 82% GUYS"; or "77% GIRLS WELCOME HERE."  We are being degraded as a nation.

UNIQUE COMPLAINT AT HARVARD – From Bloomberg:  "A coalition of more than 60 Asian-American groups filed a federal discrimination complaint against Harvard University, claiming racial bias in undergraduate admissions.  Asian-American students with almost perfect college entrance-exam scores, top 1 percent grade-point averages, academic awards and leadership positions are more likely to be rejected than similar applicants of other races, according to their administrative complaint, filed Friday with the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights. Harvard denies any discrimination."  Harvard is making it up.  Of course there's discrimination.  Asian-Americans are the most accomplished students in the country,  and the left doesn't care much for them.  I mean, how dare people of another race succeed?  Why can't they feel oppressed like real people?  What's wrong with them, studying instead of protesting?  Keep 'em out!
