(John Hinderaker) A reader writes to comment on the mass sexual assaults that have been taking place in Germany, and efforts to cover them up or mischaracterize them: The German situation is even worse than you presented.

A "smoking gun" in the Clinton email saga? Part Two
(Paul Mirengoff) Yesterday, I suggested that the following email sent by Hillary Clinton might represent a smoking gun in terms of the mishandling of classified information: If they can't fix [the secure server], turn [the document that rules require be sent on the secure server] into nonpaper w no identifying heading and send nonsecure. I wondered, however, what "nonpaper" meant in this context. The most persuasive answer came from a recently retired

Tesla Model S Can Now Drive Without You
Well, authorities in Hong Kong aren't going to like this one bit. Back in November, they told Tesla to remotely disable its semiautonomous driving technology until they can confirm that the features, released in mid October, are safe.
