Permawar: At least 41 people are dead and 140 wounded in a triple suicide-bomb attack yesterday at Istanbul’s Ataturk airport, one of the busiest in the world. The government believes the Islamic State is responsible, although no one has claimed credit.

Just before 10 last night, Turkish officials said, two gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons at a security checkpoint before blowing themselves up in a ball of fire. A third bomber was shot before he detonated himself in the parking lot.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, “The bombs that exploded in Istanbul today could have gone off at any airport in any city around the world. Make no mistake: For terrorist organizations, there is no difference between Istanbul and London, Ankara and Berlin, Izmir and Chicago, or Antalya and Rome.”

US security is on high alert for the July 4th weekend.

No Bill: After two years of rancorous investigation, the House Select Committee on Benghazi found Hillary Clinton did nothing wrong involving the 2012 attack on the US consulate in Libya that left four Americans dead. The Republican-led committee failed to find evidence to support one of the primary lines of attack on Clinton.

Most importantly, the 800-page, $7 million report found that military forces in Europe were not close enough to have reached the Benghazi consulate in time to fight off the final fatal attack.

Nevertheless, the report says the Obama administration tried to stonewall the investigation and criticizes the State Department’s own investigation of the incident. The report generally dumps blame on the Defense Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department for failing to appreciate the threats to the Benghazi consulate.

In the end, the most important thing the investigation revealed is that Hillary Clinton used a private email server while she was Secretary of State, and she’s still being investigated for that.

Trexit: Following the British vote to leave the European Union, Donald Trump is pumping up his appeal to nationalism and attacking free trade agreements. Speaking in Pennsylvania yesterday, Trump threatened to withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement and impose tariffs on Chinese goods.

Trump is wooing white men, but not necessarily businessmen. The US Chamber of Commerce issued a tweet saying, “Even under best case scenario, Trump’s tariffs would strip us of at least 3.5 million jobs,”

Zika: Australian Jason Day, the world’s #1 golfer, announced he will not play in the Olympics for fear of bringing the Zika virus home to his family. Day and his wife have two children and he said in a statement they plan to have more. “I have always placed my family above everything else in my life,” he said.

World: The Ikea fast-furniture chain has recalled 29 million chests because six children have been killed in tip over accidents. The drawer sets can tip when they are not secured to a wall and a child tried to climb the drawers. In one case in Minnesota, a 22-month-old boy was killed. His parents had a wall-mount kit but were prohibited by their rental agreement from putting holes in the walls.

Brexit: As European Union leaders try to sort out and minimize the damage of a British exit, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was talking tough yesterday. “Whoever wants to leave this family cannot expect to have no more obligations but to keep the privileges,” she said. “There must be and will be a noticeable difference between whether a country wants to be a member of the European Union family or not.”

Investors appear to be getting over it. The Dow Jones was up 269 points yesterday and futures are up for today.

The Obit Page: Buddy Ryan, the defensive genius of professional football who coached the Jets and the Chicago Bears to Super Bowl championships, has died at age 85. Ryan created a shifting and aggressive defense that bewildered opponents. Former defensive Gerry Philbin, who played for the Jets, told Sports Illustrated. “I’ve never seen anyone better at bringing the animal out of you. If you didn’t hit as hard as he wanted, he’d humiliate you in front of everyone.”

> Scotty Moore, the groundbreaking rock-and-roll guitarist who plucked the strings for Elvis Presley’s early hits including, “That’s All Right,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” and “Hound Dog,” has died at age 84 in Nashville.
