President Donald Trump delivered a fiery and controversial speech last night in Phoenix. The speech was met with demonstrations and lots of comment from members of Congress and the press. As expected –or warned, depending on your point of view–the speech was very polarizing. The drama in Washington (and on the road) continues.
Today is National Sponge Cake Day. You know how to celebrate that one, don’t you.

Good Morning, it’s Tuesday, 15 August 2017, and this is the late morning edition of The Nightshift, the world’s overnight news feed.
Another tough day for the White House. Three CEO’s, the heads of Merck, Under Amour, and Intel, resigned in protest from a Presidential advisory panel. The three were uncomfortable with the way the Administration handled their condemnation of the white nationalist/supremacist demonstration(s) in Charlottesville, Virginia over the past weekend.
White House corridor talk is that senior advisor Steve Bannon–former head of Breitbart, a right-leaning website–is on the way out. Don’t bet on it (yet). Bannon has survived a lot of rumors about his ouster.
The U.S. shale oil boom continues, with output projected to hit 6.0 million barrels a day in August and September. Crude oil closed a $47.27 on Monday.
Bill Gates has announced he is donating another $4.6 billion, approximately 5% of his holdings in Microsoft. The recipient for the gift was not officially announced, but in the past, Gates has contributed to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, his charitable entity. It’s rewarding to see someone who made it, know what to do with it to benefit others.
Frank Broyles, who lead the University of Arkansas to national prominence in football and other sports as first, head coach, and, later, athletic director, has died at the age of 92. Broyles was very good friends with one of the other best coaches, of the era, University of Texas football coach Darrell Royal, who died in 2012. Their on field football matchups were classics. He was good spirit in a tough game.
Another good one has left us: Joseph Bologna, the writer/actor/director has died at the age of 82 after a long battle with cancer. Bologna was absolute dynamite starring as a Sid Caesar type TV host in the classic comedy film, “My Favorite Year”.
Today is National Relaxation Day. Give yourself a break and just take it easy today.

Good Morning, it’s Monday 14 August 2017, and this is the late morning edition of The Nightshift, the world’s overnight news feed (and back on track after a delay in net’casting yesterday).
The carnage in Charlottesville, Virginia, scene of very nasty weekend white nationalist/white supremacists demonstrations, is mounting. One person–a counter protestor–was killed when a car drove into the crowd. Another 19 were injured. Now the blame game begins: the police(they didn’t do enough to control either side of the rallies); the President (he did not quickly, expressly and specifically criticize the white nationalists for their actions); the protestors (this type of political/cultural position is no longer valid in this country) and counter protestors (did the left attend the event looking for a fight?). In other words–it’s a mess in every possible way, socially, culturally, legally. The repercussions will continue for weeks.
Anthony Scaramucci is in the news again. He claims that certain parties in the White House are out to “eject” Donald Trump.The “Mooch” was also very critical (again) of Steve Bannon. He may have a point, but someone in the White House likes Bannon–he’s still in place and Scaramucci only lasted 11 days because someone hit the eject button on him first.
Justin Thomas, a twenty-four year old tour golf professional who is the son of a PGA pro, won the PGA Championship on Sunday at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, NC. It was Thomas’ first major. Thomas was eight under for the tournament and shot three under on the final day. Francisco Molinari, Patrick Reed, and Hideki Matsuyama were all tied for second, at six under par.
