SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:53 P.M. ET: 

MAJOR BROADCAST NEWS – From Hollywood Reporter:  MSNBC is moving reverend and talk-show host Al Sharpton's PoliticsNation to Sundays, network president Phil Griffin said in a memo on Wednesday. Its last weekday airing will be on Sept. 4.  "After four terrific years – or as Reverend Sharpton said, 'a full first term' – PoliticsNation is ready for its next chapter. Beginning on Sunday, October 4, the show will move to Sunday mornings at 8:00 am," Griffin wrote.  The show has aired at 6 pm ET on weekdays and will now move from five days a week to one day a week.   It is sickening that this race baiter and clown is even taken seriously.  It is outrageous that he has his own show at all.  Clearly, the show has failed.  You don't go from five days a week to a single program at 8 a.m. Sunday because you're a hit.

TAKE THAT, IRAN AGREEMENT LOVERS – From WaPo:   A group of nearly 200 retired generals and admirals sent a letter to Congress on Wednesday urging lawmakers to reject the Iran nuclear agreement, which they say threatens national security.  The letter is the latest in a blizzard of missives petitioning Congress either to support or oppose the agreement with Iran, which would lift sanctions if Iran pared back its nuclear program. Letters have come from ad hoc groupings of rabbis, nuclear scientists, arms-control and nonproliferation experts — and now, retired senior military officers, many of whom have worked in the White House during various administrations dating to the 1980s.  The letter, addressed to Republican and Democratic leaders in the Senate and the House, is a response to one sent last week by three dozen retired senior military officers who support the nuclear deal.  So let's see, the aye side had 36 retired senior officers supporting the Iran agreement, and the opponents of the deal come in with 200.  That's more than five to one against.  I'd say the right wins hands down.  It won't matter, though.  The deal will go through because Democrats are lining up to worship the greater glory of Barack.

OH, THIS LOOKS JUICY – From townhall.com:   Late last week rumors started swirling about an undercover investigation of Hillary Clinton's campaign being conducted by James O'Keefe's Project Veritas, an organization responsible for holding a number of government officials accountable for bad behavior. The Clinton camp was put on high alert, told to look for suspicious behavior and to be aware they may be under video surveillance.  We now know the rumors are true. O'Keefe has confirmed Project Veritas journalists have in fact conducted an undercover video investigation into Clinton's campaign and have plenty of footage to share.  The first video shows a paid campaign staffer telling a volunteer that they only want to register voters who will vote for Hillary, a Democrat, when the law requires voters be able to register regardless of their political affiliation or support for a certain candidate.   I see the vultures flying over Hillary's campaign.  Each one has been fed parts of her e-mails.  Yummy.
