AT&T engineers Robert Wilson and Arno Penzias had found a constant 3K cosmic background radiation glow while calibrating their microwave transmission towers back in the 1960s. By my recollection of secondhand accounts, they spent months accounting for all possible contributors to the background "noise" and could only assume it was a constant cosmic background remnant of significant magnitude.

Now we've got a new contributor: refractive radiation from our own sun. It is quite likely we are living inside one of those "stellar nursuries" like the horsehead nebula. It's nice getting to know the neighborhood.

Bravo!

What "classified" information did the former Secretary of State send from her portable device while walking in fresh air, or cooking up a mess of gumbo for Bill? While it is reasonable every Former President and their First Lady has continuing contacts with heads of other states, these retired public servants are still responsible to positively advocate for America's interests.

Sometimes a thought out if the blue BECOMES classified after the fact.

I doubt Hillary took classified information out of a SCIF in her socks like Admiral Poindexter!
