The New England Patriots are going to the Super Bowl (again), beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20 with yet another come-from-behind victory. In the second championship game, the Philadelphia Eagles walloped the Minnesota Vikings, 38-7 behind backup quarterback Nick Foles and a very stout defense. The Super Bowl is Set: Patriots vs. Eagles. The Patriots will be heavy favorites.
The U.S. Government is still shut down, as the American political leaders can’t agree on a budget to keep it operating. Surprised? Not with this bunch. However, they are doing very well at blaming each other for allowing the shutdown to occur. Surprised? Never.
Today is National Blonde Brownie Day. Got milk?
The Detroit Auto Show has unveiled a host of new vehicles–most of them SUVs–in a show that has been heralded as one of the last celebrations of the automobile culture as we know it.

Good morning, it’s Saturday, 20 January 2018  and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
Welcome to 2018.
The U.S. Government has shut down because Congress was unable to reach a short-term funding/budget agreement. The last vote to prevent the shutdown occurred late last night and failed to pass. This deadline for funding has been on the calendar for over a year, and so Congress acted liked a freshman student with a term paper due and waited until the last second to address it. Now, they can deal with the fallout, which is likely to be harsher for the Republicans than the Democrats, since the Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. Well done, guys.

Good morning, it’s Friday, 19 January 2018  and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
Welcome to 2018.
The U.S. Government will “shut down” tonight at midnight if a new spending budget/accommodation is not reached. The situation is typical Washington DC: if you want to keep the government running, you have to give something in return(i.e. DACA, immigration law, etc.). Everyone will get the chance to see how close to the line the government will go before an agreement is reached as you will not be able to avoid this critical issue on the news cycle.
The flu epidemic is sweeping across America and hospitals throughout the country are jammed–and even overcrowded–with flu victims.
A former CIA employee, Jerry Chun Shing Lee, has been arrested on charges that he aided the Chinese government in wiping out a key CIA network of spies in China. More than a dozen members of that network have been arrested and imprisoned or executed.
Continental showdown: India has tested a ballistic missile, increasing (again) the tension in the Asian theater.
New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady is said to have possibly injured his hand during a practice on Wednesday afternoon. The Patriots play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in one of the two NFL divisional championship playoff games. Asked about the effect of Brady’s injury on the game, the Jacksonville coach had the correct reply–“Tom Brady can probably throw left-handed too”. Should be a good game.
The Daily Grope: The sad unraveling of the U.S. Gymnastic Team continues with the announcement that the Karolyi Ranch, the training center for U.S. National Team gymnasts and hopefuls, will no longer serve as the main training center for the team. This move comes as a result of the horrendous charges being leveled against former U.S.Gymnastics Team doctor Larry Nasser, who “treated” team members at the ranch. The Karolyis (Bela and wife Marta) have not (yet) been charged or accused with any wrongdoing. It’s especially painful because without the Karolyis , the U.S. would not have built a Gold Medal winning and world dominating gymnastics team. There are difficult and confusing times. In other news: Michael Douglas has been accused of sexual harassment by a writer who formerly worked for his production company. And….. Dylan Farrow’s accusations of inappropriate behavior by Woody Allen (her step father) has increased negative pressure and publicity for the writer/director.
How much oil is in the U.S.? Enough that America is now the second largest producer of oil in the world, passing Saudi Arabia. The top spot is still held by…..Russia.

Welcome to 2018.
North Korea and South Korea are combining their teams for a joint Olympic presence at the upcoming Winter Olympics which start on February 8th. Have the two main players in the Asian nuclear drama managed to start a process of reconciliation without assistance or guidance from the U.S.? It could happen. Actually, it did happen.
John Kelly, Chief of Staff for President Donald Trump, was reported as saying that some of the President’s comments and thoughts on the infamous “Mexican wall” were not “fully informed”. Trump immediately took to twitter to rebuke General Kelly, who has a reputation for being very thorough and level headed, to say that what he said was exactly what will happen. Right. Expect more White House tension.
Apple is planning on bringing back to the U.S. the cash it has earned and is holding offshore in various Apple subsidiaries. There is as as much as $230 billion in cash in Apple’s offshore accounts. The tax bill for bringing the funds back to America could be as high as $34 billion.
The United States has cut funding on programs to Pakistan, saying that the country has not done enough to help in the fight against terrorism.
Domestically, Congress and the President are in a high stakes showdown on funding the government. Without a new budget deal–or even a short term deal–the Government will run out of your money on Friday night. No easy deal is in sight, as the Democrats want certain concessions and the Republicans (and the President) do not want to give them. Business as usual in the dysfunctional capital of America.
Amazon has announced the shortlist of cities for its’ second headquarters. Is your city on the list?
It’s still very cold across much of America and very infirm, as the U.S. faces the biggest flu epidemic in years.

Welcome to 2018.
Steve Bannon was at Congress yesterday to answer questions behind closed doors. It’s the first of several such interviews he will face. The next one–expected before the end of the month–will be with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Bannon, who did not answer a lot of questions in Congress (the White House evoked a broad form of executive privilege), will face a detailed and intense grilling from Mueller and his team.
In other parts of Congress, expect nothing. The town is frozen–both in terms of temperature and activity–as the Democrats want DACA reform and the Republicans want funding for the government, which runs out of money this coming Friday. Compromise is not imminent.
A false missile warning was triggered in Japan,in a situation eerily similar to the one that caused widespread panic in Hawaii.
A giant oil spill is now spreading in the China sea. The oil was released after the collision between an oil tanker and a ship.
The cold that has gripped the Southern and Eastern United States continues. Texas faces another deepfreeze day and night while the Southeast is facing more snow and freezing temperatures.

School's Out

A winter storm is closing in on Houston, Texas, a part of the country that doesn’t get a lot of snow and ice. The result has been over-coverage by the local TV stations’ weather departments (it’s Emmy time!) and a flood of closings, the most visible being the schools and school districts that have completely called it a day before the day even started. Those who have lived in the northeast, where events are cancelled and schools are closed after the actual weather can be determined will find humor and irony in the fact that the closings below are based on the “prediction” of how bad the weather will be or might become.
Here’s the list–it’s a snow day for a lot of students, without, of course, the snow.

The Nightshift: 16 January 2018

Good morning, it’s Tuesday, 16 January 2018  and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
Welcome to 2018.
America took a break yesterday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, with parades and demonstrations across the country honoring the fallen civil rights leader. It was a day celebrated with perhaps more emotion than in previous years, due to the tense atmosphere in Washington, D.C. created by comments credited, allegedly, to President Trump.
The big debate in Washington now is “he said, he said”, referring to President Trump’s very derogatory comments on immigration from Haiti and Africa. Trump loyalists, who were in the meeting, are refuting claims by others in the meeting that Trump used the “s” word in describing those countries. As expected, it’s another round of drama, served up from a White House that has an endless supply of it. In the meantime, DACA and a government shutdown loom. Happy legislating!
The U.S. oil industry has bounced back from a recession a few years ago, and is now delivering 10 million barrels of oil per day. The increase in production is due to the surge in shale oil production.
Weather in the United States is still dominated by a cold wave that is working its’ way south, leaving snow and ice on an area of the South that sees such precipitation infrequently. Expect cancelled flights and delays (and drive carefully).
Delores O’Riordan, the leader singer of the Irish band the Cranberries, has died in London. At this point, the death appears to be from “natural causes”. Ms. O’Riordan was 46.

Good morning, it’s Monday, 15 January 2018  and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift .
Welcome to 2018.
The NFL playoffs continued yesterday. In an unexpected shootout in Pittsburgh, the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Steelers 45-42 and in the late game, the Minnesota Vikings beat the New Orleans Saints 29-24, with a last second, 61 yard touchdown pass that’s being called the “miracle in Minnesota”. Next weekend: two playoff games to determine the teams that will go to the Superbowl, with the Vikings playing the Eagles for one spot and the Patriots playing the Jaguars for the other spot.  Also in sports: The Australian Open is in progress now. Venus Williams lost in straight sets and is out; Serena Williams withdrew; Novak Djokovic is returning to competition for the first time since mid 2017.
The repercussions of the false Hawaii ballistic missile alert are going to be ongoing for quite some time. Obviously, the current warning system is not fail-safe and the possible consequences of such a false broadcasted alert could include actually starting a war between the U.S. and North Korea. Sobering. Better tighten up.
