Reassessing the Clinton, Trump, Orlando news

A few interesting things from current news.

First, as to the letter by Ron Poole about the significance of the club being a gay club. It was targeted just for this reason!

Why is known only to the terrorist - yes, terrorist - who committed the crime.

Second, the letter from retired FDNY member Brian Madden. I'm also a retired first responder, and over the years have become aware that lights garner more of a reaction than the air horns and sirens. Today's vehicles are virtually soundproof, and it's the strobes and flashing lights that get driver's attention faster and thus, their reaction to them.

Lastly, the Donald Trump bashing article about Trump banning the Washington Post from covering him.

The media is all over Trump and he does interviews all the time. But, it's reported that Hillary Clinton's last sit down media interview was October 2015!

Why?

What is she afraid of?

Maybe their questions regarding her entire career of politically hiding questionable legal activities?
