Good Morning, it’s Thursday, 30 November 2017, and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift, The World News Daily
Down Time: American Airlines  announced that a scheduling “glitch” has totally messed up flight crew planning for the busiest time of the year: the period around the Christmas holidays. As many as 15,000 holiday flights could be affected.  Will you be home for Christmas?
The Daily Grope: Add “Prairie Home Companion” creator, writer, and host Garrison Keillor to those fired because of inappropriate conduct. Keillor was terminated by NPR after an accusation was leveled at him. And that’s the news from Lake Woebegone. At NBC, the mess continues. Matt Lauer has issued a statement (“There are no words to express my sorrow and pain..” yada yada yada) about the accusations that resulted in his firing by NBC. According to some news outlets, two other women have come forth with additional accusations. Not good for the man who went from reporting the news to being the news.
President Trump is under fire for re-tweeting a series of anti-muslim videos promoted by a fascist British Right Wing Group (Britain First). Time to wind down the dialogue that is splintering the U.S.? In the meantime, the situation is heating up (again) on the Korean peninsula. At a time we could really use some experienced, nuanced, effective diplomacy we have……….
Shakeup: Eli Manning, the New York Giants quarterback, winner of two Super Bowls (and MVP in both of those Super Bowls) has been benched, in yet another astonishing goof by New York coach Ben Mcadoo. Mcadoo, who replaced two-time Super Bowl winner Tom Coughlin,  has a losing record as a head coach and  did not play football at the collegiate or professional level. Eli Manning is headed for the Hall of Fame. Giants fans are outraged at the move; even more outrageous is the fact that Mcadoo has decided to start Geno Smith, a former New York Jets bust at quarterback who has a 12-18 overall record. In other sports news, Tiger Woods returns to competition today in the World Hero Challenge. It will be Tiger’s first competitive outing in over a year; he as been recovering from back issues.
Today is National Stay Home Because You’re Well Day. Face it, it’s no fun to be home when you’re sick, but when you’re well…..that’s a totally different opportunity.
Also, we added the CNN “text news” site, which is much faster than their full multi-media site. It’s also below at the end of the links.

Good Morning, it’s Wednesday, 29 November 2017 and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift, The World News Daily
The most powerful man at NBC news has been terminated. Matt Lauer, anchor of NBC’s highly popular and massively profitable “Today” show was let go today as a result of credible sexual harassment allegations. The broadcast community–and especially the people who work on the “Today “show and inside NBC news–is in shock this morning. ABC, which has been battling NBC for the top spot in morning ratings, is no doubt going through a rather intense period of schadenfreude today.
North Korea has launched yet another ballistic missile, this one said to have the capability of reaching deep into America, with the ability to target not just the west coast but Washington, D.C. and the East Coast as well. The tension rams up on the Korean peninsula once again.
The Republicans have managed to ease the Trump sponsored tax reform bill out of a Senate committee. One Senator admitted, on camera, that “we won’t really know what’s in the bill we’re voting for until it’s passed”.  Really? Is possible for some people with a sense of responsibility to serve this country.
Today is National Package Protection Day. Keep your eyes open and stop “porch pirates” from stealing the package deliveries from your front porch or those of your neighbors–especially at this time of the year, when so many items will be delivered.

Good Morning, it’s Monday, 27 November 2017 and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
Today is CyberMonday–the biggest online shopping day of the year. If you’re reading The Nightshift, you’re already at your computer. So..start shopping(as soon as you finish today’s edition).
Off the Market: Prince Harry, of the English Royal Family, is engaged to marry American actress Meghan Markle. Harry–perhaps the most popular member of the English Royal Family (maybe possibly…Kate is pretty popular too)–is very charming, very relaxed, and is always going to do things a little differently than the rest of the family. We wish them the best.
The island resort of Bali is under siege from within: a volcano, Mt. Agung, inactive for decades, is spewing volcanic ash and threatening to erupt. Evacuations have been ordered for an area around the volcano and travelers trying to leave the island paradise are unable to get a flight out, as all flights have been cancelled, stranding an estimated 60,000 people.
The Daily Grope: Massage Envy, a franchise chain of massage studios, is dealing with accusations by over 180 clients that they were the victims of inappropriate behavior by Massage Envy employees. This is a very big problem for a company that deals with intimate contact between client and employee.
In one of the more bizarre football-related events yesterday, The University of Tennessee announced that it was rescinding an offer to current Ohio State Football Assistant Head Coach Greg Schiano to be its’ new head coach. The reason: Schiano was on the staff of Joe Paterno at Penn State when Jerry Sandusky was there (Sandusky was convicted serial rapist and child molester), and everyone on that staff has been stained by Sandusky’s vile actions. Expect Tennessee athletic director John Currie to be terminated after this embarrassing incident.
Today is National Craft Jerky Day…so, uh, get in there and start crafting some jerky. It’ll make great presents (maybe).

Good Morning, it’s Sunday, 26 November 2017 and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
The Thanksgiving holiday is winding down. On Monday, Washington will again take up the topic of tax reform. The new bill is great for corporations and not so great for everyone else. Expect a huge fight and a lot of pressure to get it passed.
Rance Howard, the film director perhaps most famous for being the father of actor/director Ron Howard has died at age 89.
Saturday was a big day in college football. No. 1 Alabama was upset by Auburn; Notre Dame lost to Southern Cal; Georgia beat Georgia Tech, and Clemson beat South Carolina in a day marked by long-standing cross state rivalries. The Alabama upset, which was preceded by the upset of Miami earlier in the week, has the potential to really scramble the national college football playoffs. Also: Chip Kelly, who was a success as a college coach at Oregon and a bust as a pro coach in the NFL, will be the new head football coach at UCLA. Arkansas fired Coach Bielama and Nebraska fired head coach Mike Riley. Florida also fired its head coach earlier in the season as did Ole Miss.

Good Morning, it’s Saturday, 25 November 2017 and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
An attack by militants on a mosque in Egypt has killed over 235 people. The violence never stops in the Middle East.
No Surprise. There’s turmoil at the Consumer Protection Bureau as the outgoing head of the agency appoints his own successor and the President appoints a different person. Expect a court case.
President Trump claims he took himself out of the running for Time Magazine’s “2017 Person of the Year”.  Rather odd claim, since Trump had fake Time Magazine “Person of the Year” covers hanging in his golf clubs and businesses. Trump was “Person of the Year” in 2016 after winning the Presidential Election.
The Number 2 football team in the country, Miami lost to Pittsburgh by the score of 24-14. Miami was previously undefeated. The loss scrambles, again, the national playoff picture. No. 1 Alabama plays cross state rival Auburn today in another key football game.
Today is National Blase’ Day. It’s OK. It’s also Small Business Saturday, which is one of the more creative business promotions going. If you’re shopping today, shopping at a small business in your hometown would be a great thing to do.

Good Morning, it’s Friday, 24 November 2017 and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
Former national security advisor Michael Flynn, under investigation by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III for possible involvement in the Russian meddling/hacking of the 2016 Presidential election, may be moving closer to being a cooperating witness/source. This possibility comes as a result of the fact that Flynn’s attorneys are no longer sharing information with the Trump administration’s lawyers. If Mueller has “turned” Flynn, expect even more stress at the White House.
An Argentine submarine with 44 men on board has disappeared. There were reports of an explosion in the last reported location of the submarine, but the vessel has not yet been located and hope of finding survivors is decreasing by the hour.
President Donald Trump is at Mar-A-Lago for the Thanksgiving holiday. The White House claims it’s a working trip; the President has a round of golf scheduled for this morning.
Ole Miss upset No. 14 Mississippi State last night, by the score of 31-28. There is serious bad blood between the Rebels and Mississippi State (who it is alleged “turned in” the Ole Miss football program for a series of violations) and the Rebels played like it, beating State in every facet of the game. There is speculation that Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen will leave for another head coaching job at the end of the season. In other football games, Dallas lost again, this time to the Chargers, 28-6; the Vikings beat the Lions 30-23, and the Giants lost to the Redskins 20-10(expect Giants head coach Ben McAdoo to be fired at the end of the season).
Today is National You’re WelcomeGiving Day. It’s also Black Friday. Remember your manners when you’re tracking down the deals.
