McAuliffe is just one of many shady Hillary fundraisers
Terry McAuliffe, Marc Rich, Mikal Watts, Arthur Coia, Rahm Emanuel, Hassan Namazee, Norman Hsu, Johnny Chung, Charlie Trie, Jim McDougal, Mark Middleton, Maria Tsia, Antonio Pan - these are all Clinton fundraisers who have been indicted, investigated, or caught up in shady fundraising. But don't confuse cause for effect: McAuliffe isn't shady because he's a Clinton fundraiser. He's a cherished Clinton fundraiser because he's shady.

| On this day in 1738, at the urging of King George II, a peace agreement was signed in London bringing an end to a long-simmering border war between militias and posses of the Pennsylvania and Maryland colonies. At that time, Maryland laid claim to much of southern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania claimed land as far south as the northern reach of the Chesapeake Bay. Three decades after this cease-fire in what was known as the Conojocular War, the border question was finally resolved by the surveying of the Mason-Dixon line, which became the official border. |

State Department's convenient video 'glitch' still a mystery
The State Department says it's still trying to figure out how a video of a 2013 press briefing was edited in such a way that it removed a controversial discussion about when the Iran nuclear talks began. "We continue to review this incident, as well as our own internal processes and procedures," said spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau. "As Assistant Secretary [John] Kirby noted, we have an obligation to be transparent, and are committed to that principle." When asked when the review might be complete, Trudeau said the department is "still working through it."

VA Secretary Robert McDonald finally apologized Tuesday afternoon for his remarks the day before. He had suggested that just as Disney doesn't measure success based on wait times for rides, so the VA shouldn't judge its success based on how long veterans have to wait for doctors' appointments. Republicans in Congress are now calling on him to resign. Should he?

Trump tells N.M. crowd: 'To hell with men'
Donald Trump isn't satisfied with his performance among male voters and would prefer to "set records with women" between now and the November election. Speaking at a campaign rally in Albuquerque, N.M., Tuesday night, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told a massive crowd he appreciates the support he's attracted among male voters, but would be more enthusiastic about winning over women. "I can tell you this - much less exciting for me fellas - they say I'm setting records with men," Trump said with a heavy sigh. "That's so unexciting to me. I want to set records with women, not with men. The hell with the men, right? The hell with the men," he added. "I want to set records with women."

Editorial: Obama is already breaking the new education law
Congress writes the laws, as every boy and girl learns in school, and the president enforces them. But what's the point of this fundamental constitutional process if the executive thinks he or she can simply make up the law as he or she goes along?

Rubio pushes to delay transfer of Internet control
President Obama's administration is at risk of relinquishing control of the Internet without conducting the testing necessary to ensure the successor model for managing it will work, according to a group of Senate Republicans. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., was among a group of GOP senators urging a slower pace. "I honestly don't believe that proceeding cautiously on this is to our detriment, and I think fully understandable, given the scope of what we're talking about here," Rubio said during a Senate Commerce Committee hearing Tuesday.

Rick Santorum endorses Trump
Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum endorsed Donald Trump in an interview with Fox News host Greta Van Susteren Tuesday night. "I'm 100 percent. That's endorse," the former Pennsylvania senator said when asked if he was backing the presumptive GOP nominee. Santorum had endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio in February before the Florida politician dropped out of the primary contest in March. Santorum said he was moved to back the Manhattan businessman after talking with him last week. "The most important issue is preserving the Constitution of this country and a liberal Supreme Court will destroy it," Santorum said.

GOP senator: Obama chose climate change fund over fighting Zika
A Republican senator is accusing President Obama of spending money that could have been used on fighting the Zika virus on an international fund to fight the effects of climate change. Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., wrote in an op-ed published Tuesday that Obama knew in March that foreign countries and the United States would need funding to fight the Zika virus. However, instead of taking that money and putting it toward the growing health crisis, he sent a $500 million payment to the United Nations' Green Climate Fund.
