The FBI obtained a warrant nine days before the presiden- tial election to review those emails, found on the laptop of former Rep. Anthony Weiner, and ultimately determined that there was nothing in them that changed its original conclusion. Again, Clinton aides, Democrats and former Justice Department officials from both parties criticized Comey, saying he should not have publicly discussed an investigative action especially before he knew whether the emails were significant. People familiar with the report say it criticizes the FBI for not moving quickly enough to review the new emails. Comey has said he felt compelled to alert Congress to the new emails, after having previously testified that the investigation was done.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June 14, 2018: This year a lot is going on in your life. In a sense, you feel as if you are on an emotional roller coaster. You could see changes in your circle of friends and in your desires. If you are single, you might want to take your time before making any commitments. You could find that someone is quite different from the person he or DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker she projects. If you are attached, the two of you might go through some ups and downs. Hang in there, as this is just a phase and not a permanent facet of the relationship. CANCER can be a very positive force in your life.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So- so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Many choices surround you. Deciding where you want to go and who you want to surround yourself with will be impor- tant. The unexpected plays into your decision- making process. Reach out to a loved one at a Mark Buford distance. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. SCARY GARY TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Communication flourishes, and the unexpected takes a toll. Understand what is happening in your inner circle. Your seriousness might be met with silence, as the other party involved could be intimidated. Tonight: Meet loved ones at a favorite spot. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Your tendency to go overboard marks your day. Recognize what is important for you to accomplish, and know where you need to apply self-discipline. You easily could go over- Crosswords board in a certain area of your life. Work with a partner to achieve a mutual goal. Tonight: Stay DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni within your budget. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your smile warms up others, which will be fortunate, as an element of upheaval weaves through your day. You work well with the unexpected. A loved one tends to hold back, and might not want to share. Give this person some time and space. Tonight: Keep plans loose. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You’ll want to read between the lines right now. Being forthright might not work, as others could be caught up in their own world. You will hear news in a highly confidential way. Listen carefully, and observe what is not being said. Tonight: Know that nothing is written in B.C. Mastroianni and Hart stone. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You see potential where others might not. Reveal more of what you are think- ing. A loved one suddenly might give you the cold shoulder. Find out what is going on here. Tap into your ability to complete a project and/ or read between the lines. Tonight: Find your friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Stay on top of your professional dealings. On a personal level, someone might feel neglected by you. Others seem to be drawn in by your charm. Understand that you can’t be everywhere at once. Tonight: Head home after an exercise session or a brisk walk. ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be overly tired and with- drawn. You might find it difficult to complete a project or get a job done, but when news comes in from a distance or someone with expertise calls, you suddenly feel energized. Be aware of what is possible around you. Tonight: Push yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Discussions regarding your finances seem to elicit a closed-down or negative response from others. You know when you have had enough. Let others make all the requests they desire, and know that you don’t need to respond right now. Tonight: Have a long-over- due discussion. ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Despite others’ efforts, you seem shut down. You could find a friend’s attempt to loosen you up nothing less than annoying. A new friend surprises you with his or her actions, attitude or news. This person helps you lighten up. Tonight: Know that you don’t need to do anything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Pace yourself, as you might have a lot more to do than you had anticipated. Do what is Cryptoquip necessary to prevent a low-level depression. Try not to stumble into negativity or overthink a problem. Seek out a loved one for his or her advice. Tonight: Run errands on the way home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe HHHH Your playfulness pulls you right into a brainstorming session. A meeting could feel like a failure rather than a success. Do not accept the result as final. Much could change quickly. Stay open-minded if the immediate situation is not to your liking. Tonight: Think “weekend.” BORN TODAY Author Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811), sing- er/songwriter Boy George (1961), comedian Alan Carr (1976) *** Jacqueline Bigar is on the internet at www. jacquelinebigar.com.
