Clinton camp silent on Colin Powell fiasco
Hillary Clinton's campaign is steering clear of confronting Colin Powell's comments after the former secretary of state said he did not advise her to use a private email server to send classified emails. The former Bush administration official denounced Clinton's comments over the weekend. "Her people have been trying to pin it on me," the former secretary of state said in an interview published Sunday night. "The truth is, she was using [the private email server] for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did."

Va. Gov. McAuliffe restores voting rights to 13,000 felons
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe on Monday restored the voting rights of 13,000 felons, an effort that defies both the state's Supreme Court and Republican legislators. McAuliffe, a Democrat, made the announcement at the Civil Rights Memorial in Richmond, Va. The action comes roughly a month after the Supreme Court of Virginia, in a 4-3 decision in response to a GOP lawsuit, invalidated his April executive order that restored voting rights to roughly 206,000 felons who had completed their sentences.

For many years now, I've been arguing that the United States should adopt an immigration system much like those of our Anglosphere cousins Canada and Australia. They encourage high-skill immigration by a points system which gives priority to those who have the capacity to contribute to their chosen country economically and civically.

The State Department confirmed Monday that the Obama administration has paid Iran another $1.3 billion to settle a failed arms deal from 1979, but couldn't describe who in the Iran government it paid, and couldn't say what form that payment took - cash, check or otherwise. The State Department also admitted it can't guarantee that the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps wouldn't be able to get its hands on the money eventually.

There's been a lot of recent talk this campaign about citizenship tests, kicked up again after Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid launched a petition to make Donald Trump prove he can pass one to "put up or shut up" with his immigration plans. In order to become a U.S. citizen, applicants must pass a speaking, reading and writing test, as well as correctly answer six of 10 civics questions.
