A new CNN poll out Tuesday shows Hillary Clinton’s shine has been “tarnished” and she has lost support from independents. The poll showed that 50 percent of respondents have an unfavorable view of Clinton. That is the highest unfavorable number for her since 2001.

The number of people that say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy has also increased to 57 percent. Daily Beast columnist John Avlon said that Clinton has had a rough start to her campaign. “She’s had a rough, rough couple of weeks.

Department.

Clinton’s favorability ratings are the lowest in a Post-ABC poll since April 2008, when she was running for president the first time. Today, 41 percent of Americans say she is honest and trustworthy, compared with 52 percent who say she is not — a 22-point swing in the past year....

Action movie mogul Michael Bay’s latest bid for critical respectability may come at Hillary Clinton’s expense.

Bay, who has been the brains behind blockbuster franchises including “Transformers” and “Bad Boys” has turned the tragic 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi into a big budget thriller. And if its first trailer is any indication, it won’t depict the former secretary of state’s handling of the incident in a flattering light.

“13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” – which is based on a non-partisan, non-fiction book by Mitchell Zuckoff – aims to be a ripped-from-the-headlines portrayal of the behind-the-scenes action within the national security apparatus, like Kathryn Bigelow’s acclaimed hit film about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, “Zero Dark Thirty.” However, some of the trailer’s viewers have noted that the film’s seemingly jingoistic tone could point to a more overtly political agenda.

Vox’s Max Fisher, for example, refers to the trailer’s pronounced portrayal of bureaucrats – ostensibly taking orders from the State Department – stymieing the efforts of the film’s heroic soldiers who are attempting to rescue imperiled Americans.

“Americans care about what really happened in Benghazi, and they should: it was a significant event for U.S. foreign policy and U.S. politics. But it’s been confused by three years of partisan spin, mud-fights, and conspiracy theories. Americans have to sort through a lot of noise to get to the truth,” writes Max Fisher for Vox. “That is an important issue, and Michael Bay’s plan to convert it into popcorn sales seems unlikely to help the public understand what really happened. Indeed, the trailer alone manages to be a source of dangerously misleading misinformation on Benghazi.”

The trailer also advances a long-refuted claim that Clinton sent an order to troops to “stand down” amid the siege.

"...What about the Benghazi committee? While you may hear from the Republican-led Benghazi committee about Hillary's emails, it is important to remember that the committee was formed to focus on learning lessons from Benghazi to help prevent future tragedies at our embassies and consulates around the globe. Instead, the committee, led by Republican Representative Trey Gowdy, is spending nearly $6 million in taxpayer money to conduct a partisan witch-hunt designed to do political damage to Hillary in the run-up to the election.

Hillary has remained absolutely committed to cooperating..."

A group of special operations veterans and intelligence community officials have formally asked Secretary of State John Kerry to strip former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of her security clearance along with three of her top aides, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

The organization, called the Special Operations Educational Fund, wrote Kerry August 5 asking that he “immediately suspend the security clearances” because of Clinton’s use of a private unsecured email server and domain name that contains classified information. SOF is a 501 (c) 4 nonprofit group.

The group also asked Kerry to administratively suspend the security clearances of Clinton and aides Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan.

Still reeling from a disaster it created at a Colorado gold mine, the EPA has so far avoided criticism for a similar toxic waste spill in Georgia.

In Greensboro, EPA-funded contractors grading a toxic 19th-century cotton mill site struck a water main, sending the deadly sediment into a nearby creek.

The sediment flows carry dangerous mercury, lead, arsenic and chromium downstream to the Lake Oconee and then to Oconee River — home to many federally and state protected species.

Lead in the soil is 20,000 times higher than federal levels established for drinking water, said microbiologist Dave Lewis, who was a top-level scientist during 31 years at the Environmental Protection Agency.

While the nation is transfixed by the bright orange waterways in otherwise pristine Colorado wilderness, little attention has been paid to the unfolding Greensboro disaster.

The Environmental Protection Agency has denied — but now admits — that it funded the cleanup and development project the triggered the catastrophe.
