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.
