  Earlier this week, the FBI revealed that it’s investigating Russia’s potential involvement in the email hack on the Democratic National Convention. Reuters reports that intelligence officials also believe that Russian hackers were responsible for yesterday’s attack on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. That would have given the hackers access to things like strategy memos

Whether a government employee or a taxpayer, you should be concerned Idaho’s pension system isn’t meeting investment goals. An underperforming pension system could result in taking more money from employees’ paychecks to pay for retirement benefits. For taxpayers, it may mean higher taxes, reduced services or both. The pension system, PERSI, disclosed recently the just-concluded

Hillary Clinton’s campaign was reportedly breached as part of a widepsread cyberattack on Democrats, Reuters reported Friday.  Clinton is the latest casualty in a hack that targeted the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, both involved in electing Democratic candidates to office.  Clinton’s campaign did not respond to an immediate request for comment, according

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) on Friday confirmed reports that it had been hacked, saying the breach is similar to the one that hit the Democratic National Committee (DNC). “The DCCC can confirm that we have been the target of a cybersecurity incident,” spokeswoman Meredith Kelly said in a statement. “Upon discovering the issue,

This whole hacking thing has become hysterical. Here’s what we know so far:  Hillary’s Secretary of State emails have been supposedly hacked. I’m expecting that the emails that were so highly classified that you are not allowed to know the classifying authority will be leaked as the October surprise.  The DNC’s emails were hacked, which

I’m reposting this article in full. Via RedState. Emphasis mine.  Apparently, going back and forth on decisions about certain issues isn’t just a trait of Donald Trump’s, as Hillary’s pick for VP, Tim Kaine, seems to have a talent for doing the same thing. One of these issues that Kaine can’t seem to make his mind

From The Washington Post: A federal appeals court on Friday struck down North Carolina’s requirement that voters show identification before casting ballots and reinstated an additional week of early voting. The decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit was an overwhelming victory for civil rights groups and the

Hillary Clinton’s favorable rating among 18- to 29-year-olds is well below her favorable rating among those who are older, which is a highly unusual situation for a Democratic political figure. Hillary Clinton and her campaign team will almost certainly use President Barack Obama’s winning battle plan from 2008 and 2012 as a starting point for

Donald Trump seems to be breaking yet another political tradition this election: the “God gap.” In previous US elections, polls consistently showed that a person’s level of religiosity—how important their faith is to them and how often they attend church—was one of the biggest predictors in how they would vote. The more religious an American was, the

In addition to the hack of the Democratic National Convention, the FBI is investigating a second breach at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). Reuters reports that a “previously unreported incident” at the DCCC may have intended to nab donor information rather than to take money, according to sources. At this point, it’s unclear if any information was actually

According to The Hill:  Democratic nominee leads Republican nominee Donald Trump by 1 point in a new Rasmussen Reports poll. The poll finds that Clinton has 43 percent support compared to Trump’s 42 percent among likely voters polled by the conservative-leaning Rasmussen. Another 10 percent of respondents like another candidate, and 4 percent are undecided.

President Harry S. Truman started intelligence briefings for presidential candidates in 1945, after he didn’t learn about the Manhattan Project until 12 days after he took office. Now, 71 years later, House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump think that should be stopped. But only for the presidential nominee

Idaho delegates say they liked the message Hillary Clinton delivered as she accepted the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday. Idaho Clinton delegate Caitlin Lister has a 14-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son. “It’s important to me that my daughter can see a role model like her,” said Lister. “It just seems like we’re moving in the right

After attending the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, Bert Marley knew he wanted the 2016 convention to be different. In L.A., Idaho delegates stayed at a hotel in a Beverly Hills neighborhood while the convention and most other delegates were downtown. Worst of all, he said, Idaho’s delegation was on the outskirts alone.

The father of a fallen American Muslim soldier openly rebuked Donald Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims to the country, asking if the Republican nominee for president is familiar with the rights granted by the Constitution to all Americans. Khizr Khan’s family paid the ultimate sacrifice in 2004 when his son, Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed
