She seemed relaxed and at ease even though some in the the audience, probably mostly Bernie Sanders voters, seemed to 'know'(!) little more about her and her accomplishments than 'she voted for the war' and 'she calls black children super predators'(!). Among the questions was this from a young black woman:

You've garnered a lot of mistrust from the black community based on unfortunate and detrimental past events. You can just look through the comments on my Instagram posts about this event and see for yourself. So I would like to know, what are your concrete plans to win back the trust of Black America?

If Hillary Clinton was annoyed about the unfairness of the personal accusation in the question it didn't show, but instead she listed not only how she had won the black vote overwhelmingly in the primaries, but also how she had gone to work with and for black Americans ever since her very first job out of Law School, working for the Children's Defence Fund, and from then, on and on and on ... a very long list of accomplishments. She ended by saying:

But I also do respectfully ask that people know a little bit more about what I have done and why the Congressional Black Caucus supported me, why other black leaders supported me: Because I've been there and I will continue to be there, and I hope we will make more progress when I am President.

Another place where Hillary Clinton made an outreach, of sorts, was writing a piece for the now closed Blog, The Toast. A wonderful site with wonderful writers and commenters, a site that I'd never heard about prior to Hillary Clinton's complimentary piece, which was kind of the talk of the virtual town, last week. Not unlike Shakesville, The Toast is, has been, thanks to a fierce moderation, a safe space for women to be and to comment.

Hillary Clinton's 'bio' accompanying the piece:

Hillary Clinton is a former First Lady, senator, and Secretary of State, and is currently running for President. She thinks your hair looks great exactly as it is.

""We believe that Mr. Ailes' behavior toward Gretchen, as described in the complaint, speaks volumes about what she had to endure. The evidence will show that Ailes deliberately sabotaged the career of a talented, hard-working journalist and loyal Fox News employee. Opposing sexism and rejecting unwanted sexual come-ons should never cost a woman her job or subject her to disparagement and emotional anguish," said Martin Hyman, a partner in the New York firm Golenbock Eiseman Assor Bell & Peskoe LLP, who, is co-counsel for Carlson.
The complaint seeks compensatory damages, damages for mental anguish, and punitive damages."

Operating in an ever-changing elliptical orbit around Jupiter's poles, Juno will make repeated low-altitude passes between 2,600 and 4,900 miles above the cloud tops to study the planet's atmosphere, its powerful magnetic field, the resulting radiation environment and to find out whether a rocky core lurks in the deep interior, possibly under a thick layer of liquid metallic hydrogen.

Tennis players revolted over rain breaks at Wimbledon on Tuesday as organisers faced claims they were overlooking safety to get matches played on time.

Serena Williams threatened to sue a referee over slippery playing conditions and two other players erupted with rage after being refused a lavatory break.

I am still watching the tour and have to say riding a bicycle down hill at 70KPH on a rain slick technical descent seems more dangerous.  Even avoiding road furniture on a rain slick road riding in a peloton at 40KPH would scare me.  To say nothing of having to even sit on a bike and pedal for four hours+ daily (with only a couple of rest days) and the toll that takes on ones body.

Pretty cool that Israel honored the American frontier spirit by putting a sheriff's badge on their flag!

On the same subject Dana Schwartz, an employee of Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, writes him an open letter, one Jewish person to another:

And now, Mr. Kushner, I ask you: What are you going to do about this? Look at those tweets I got again, the ones calling me out for my Jewish last name, insulting my nose, evoking the holocaust, and tell me I'm being too sensitive. Read about the origins of that image and see the type of people it attracted like a flies to human waste and tell me this whole story is just the work of the "dishonest media." Look at that image and tell me, honestly, that you just saw a "Sheriff's Star." I didn't see a sheriff star, Mr. Kushner, and I'm a smart person. After all, I work for your paper.

Edmund Burke once said, in times that are starting to seem more and more similar: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Well, here I am, and here we are. Both Jewish, both members of the media. And you might choose silence, but I've said my piece.
