I can't listen to Hillary's voice because my B.S. detector keeps going off.

I worked for a group called decision desk last night and we found the Sanders numbers in NE were actually faster and more accurate than AP. In Iowa when I was a precinct captain we were instructed to phone in our results.

TSA officials announced a new (and they say, final) rule that sets forth the discrimination we are due and you should be be safer with.
The rule implements the widespread use of body-scan technology which requires a TSA agent to choose a pink or blue button based on the perceived gender of the person traveling through U.S. airports. Transgender people, as a result of the policy’s gender bias, are stopped by TSA agents and forced to undergo pat downs and inspections of genital areas and chests.
