PEELING THE ONION:
MOTHER ENGLAND - do you need to be one to be concerned about its future?
Theresa May will be named PM on Wednesday and so begins a new chapter: Left Out in a Nation of Leave Its.
MADE IN THE USA -
Baltimore, Ferguson,Madison,Chicago,San Bernadino,Orlando,Baton Rouge, St. Paul, and Dallas - when will it stop? ISIS, police brutality, Black Lives Matter, de-funding of mental health clinics, gun control - where do we start?
House called FBI Director to testify before Select Committee on Intelligence - and the State Dept begins an internal investigation. Lest we forget, bad press is not the private reserve of Hillary Clinton. Nixon and Watergate, Reagan and Iran-Contra, Bush 41 reneged on campaign promise and raised taxes, Bush 42 had his WMD disaster, Bill Clinton had Monica Lewinsky and Donald Trump has Trump University and, this week, his alleged bedtime reading.
For No Trump - Ruth Bader Ginsberg weighs in on the GOP candidate and SCOTUS' latest term -- Details here
Backfire/Backpat - Obama on Clinton:

3. Bob's Your Uncle! all rolled into one:
GOOD SPORTS
