Let us appreciate this economy. Things can change dramatically.

MCCain Euology...

A Military Honor Guard carries the casket of US Senator John McCain from the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on Saturday

John McCain’s daughter has said her father embodied “American greatness” as she used his funeral to dismiss “cheap rhetoric.” 

Speaking at times through tears, Ms. McCain said: “The America of John McCain has no reason to be great again because America was always great.” 
President Jimmy Carter and his wife were absent from the funeral. Trump and Sarah Palin were not invited through the 5 days funeral services.

Cheap rhetoric, no reason to be great again, disinvited couple.... what for?

Mexican prosecutors say authorities have rescued 39 Cuban migrants who had been held for ransom by four Cuban men in the resort city of Cancun. Police got an anonymous tip the Cubans were being held at a safe house.


When marines and prosecutors approached, they heard cries for help and raided the house.

Criminals in Mexico often kidnap migrants and call their relatives in the United States to demand ransoms in return for freeing them.  It was unclear what would happen to the victims, but Mexico often simply sends migrants back to Cuba.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is not invited to any of the memorial services for her former running mate, Arizona Sen. John McCain, a source tells CNN.
Palin was rocketed onto the national stage in the summer of 2008 after McCain picked her to be his running mate in the presidential race he would eventually lose. 
"Today we lost an American original," Palin tweeted Saturday following McCain's death. "Sen. John McCain was a maverick and a fighter, never afraid to stand for his beliefs. John never took the easy path in life -- and through sacrifice and suffering he inspired others to serve something greater than self. John McCain was my friend. I will remember the good times. My family and I send prayers for Cindy and the McCain family."
That is Class.

The eastern German town of Chemnitz, Saxony, has been the site of violent far-right protests, sparked by rumors, false information and anti-foreigner sentiment. 
The events in Chemnitz began when a 35-year-old German-Cuban man, Daniel H., suffered an injury then died. 
Yet, only hours after the incident, Facebook and Twitter were awash with posts claiming the man had died after defending a woman from attackers with migrant backgrounds a rumor authorities have denied.
Within several hours, around 800 far-right demonstrators had spontaneously taken to the streets in protest of the man’s death. 
Protestors hurled bottles at the police and chased those who appeared to be foreigners, with some shouting “you are not welcome here,” reported German media. 
After all the problems caused by migrants, created a great concern to  the public and the politicians, but the politicians kept their mouth shout.

After Hours...

Allegations of housing authority staff engaged in after-hours, boozed-up sex parties prompted NYCHA to reassign the entire staff of a Bronx public housing development, the Daily News has learned.  

The authority’s top management was told the supervisor of caretakers regularly hosted parties inside a groundskeepers shop in the Throggs Neck Houses, sources told The News.

The parties included drinking and sex involving supervisors and some of their subordinates and took place on Fridays after normal work hours inside certain areas of the shop, which is on NYCHA grounds, the sources say.  In some cases, the staff even put in for overtime.

Sexual acts on Friday, after working hours! Let us wait for the investigation. Just a thought.
