Anthony Weiner may be facing some trouble with the state election commission after a group called “Women For Weiner” held a fundraiser for his campaign last night. That sounds like it could be a discriminatory organization … Jeb Bush is giving Hillary Clinton an award for her career in public service in September.

Let’s give a hearty HondoNation farewell to Harness Racing’s Guru to the Stars Bill Smith, who retired yesterday after 39 years at The Post. Mr. Aitch wouldn’t have spent his life in the red if he could have handicapped baseball games as well as Mr. Smith handicapped horse races.
