Self-described multi-billionaire Der Furor is unable to find an insurance company willing to underwrite a bond to cover the $464 million judgement against him in his New York civil fraud case, but has reengineered the Republican National Committee to siphon off funds to help pay his legal bills at the expense of the larger party; billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott is giving $640 million to 361 non-profit organizations, more than double her previously planned donations for the year; dueling decisions from the Supreme Court and the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals have led to confusion over which laws governing illegal arrivals apply in Texas; a terror attack on a theater in Moscow, allegedly by ISIS terrorists, has killed more than 90 people; and in France, athletes at the upcoming Paris Olympic Games have been assured of enough condoms to allow each athlete two for each day of the event, helping them rise to the occasion.

This is how it will look when my children and grandchildren sit down for the Great Announcement ...
Have a good day and a great weekend. Beware of lawyers and of politicians who claim to say "what people are thinking" ... those particular people aren't thinking anything good.
More thoughts coming.
