Yes, after a month of Internet connections problems, multiple calls to the cable company, my modem shut down Friday morning.
It was the power cable.
I now have a new cable and I am back online.
I will have a new edition on Monday.
Thank you for your patience.
Keep the faith and peace.

Trump voters: We'd do it again
Trump voters: We'd do it again
Among those who voted for the president, there are few regrets. But there are questions about whether he'll even finish his four-year term.
One year after the 2016 election, I think we should all congratulate ourselves on still being alive. -Andy Borowitz
The World Is A Safer Place WithoutSaddam Trump
North Korea’s leading newspaper finally mentions Trump’s speech, in the context of anti-Trump protests in South Korea. Likens his words to “war mongering, filthy rhetoric spewing out of his snout like garbage that reeks of gun powder to ignite war.” No official response yet... - Will Ripley, CNN
Diplomacy Doesn't Seem To Be Trump's Forte
The U.S.’s ranks of diplomats are losing key leaders at a “dizzying speed” as the State Department struggles to recruit talent amid a hiring freeze and sinking morale in the Trump administration, according to a new essay from a top ambassador.
At this point I don't want to see Trump’s taxes anymore. I want him to release his list of current medications. - Andy Borowitz

Trump 2016: "China has raped America."

Wah. Michael Flynn Is Having A Sad.
Former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn has expressed concern about the potential legal exposure of his son, Michael Flynn Jr., who, like his father, is under scrutiny by special counsel Robert Mueller, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.
Trump campaign had NO CONTACT with Russia.
OK, Flynn had contact with Russia.
Flynn and Sessions had contact with Russia.
Flynn and Sessions. Also, Don Jr., Manafort and Kushner.
OK: Flynn, Sessions, Don Jr., Manafort, Kushner, Page and Papadopoulos. But THAT'S IT!

Wow. TSA Sucks At Their Job. Who Knew?
An undercover operation has revealed that Transportation Security Administration screenings at airports fail for the most part.
Homeland Security investigators found that, more than 70 percent of the time, undercover officers were able to get through TSA checkpoints with mock knives, guns and explosives, the House Homeland Security Committee was told Wednesday. Just two years ago, testing found a 95 percent failure rate, reports CBS News correspondent Kris Van Cleave.

Surf's Up!
Suburbs Rebel Against Trump, Threatening Republicans in Congress
The American suburbs appear to be in revolt against President Trump after a muscular coalition of college-educated voters and racial and ethnic minorities on Tuesday dealt the Republican Party a thumping rejection and propelled a diverse class of Democrats into office.
My thoughts and prayers are with the GOP.
This is what happens when the people vote. Congrats @RalphNortham and @PhilMurphyNJ . And congratulations to all the victors in state legislative, county and mayors' races. Every office in a democracy counts! - Barack Obama

Trump's Katrina Worsens
Thousands of Puerto Ricans struggled to feed themselves in the wake of Hurricane Maria, skipping meals and waiting hours in line for federal shipments of canned goods.
But a package of federal programs that could have helped feed thousands - and that channeled hundreds of dollars to needy families in Texas and Florida after hurricanes Harvey and Irma - have not been deployed in Puerto Rico, limiting the reach of the island’s emergency food assistance.
Among other things, the government did not issue emergency food stamps to people who lost their homes in the storm and who do not usually receive benefits, a measure that was taken in both Florida and Texas.
President Donald Trump arrived in Japan over the weekend to kick off a 13-day trip through Asia. Following the president’s trip, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will then kick off his own 13-day trip to apologize for everything Donald Trump said.- James Corden

The Air Force Really Messed Up
Devin Patrick Kelley, who left 26 people dead after opening fire at a Texas church on Sunday, was captured by police in 2012 after he escaped from a mental health institution. At the time, a hospital official told police that he was a danger to himself and others, and had issued death threats against "his military chain of command."...Under federal law, his conviction made him ineligible for gun ownership, but an error by the Air Force meant his crimes were never entered into the federal crime database that tracks such offenses.
