Kim Jung Un announced he'll dismantle his nuclear testing facility in North Korea before the peace summit with the U.S., and he will allow reporters to watch. Let's hope that our top diplomats can keep up the great work. Dennis Rodman has just been flown to the big island in Hawaii.
• Vladimir Putin reviewed a hundred-thousand Russian troops parade marching through Red Square in Moscow Wednesdayto mark Victory in Europe Day. They're getting those Happy Boots again. Then Putin released a tourism commercial inviting you to visit Russia before Russia visits you.
• The Supreme Court on Monday voted to ban the federal government from preventing states to allow sports gambling. It's a victory for states' rights and legalizes huge revenue streams. Last year, Americans spent over half a trillion dollars on games of chance, not including weddings and elections.
• Blue Cross and Blue Shield released a study showing that the number of Americans suffering from depression has skyrocketed thirty-three percent in the past year. Doctors have a technical name for these recent sufferers. They're diagnosed as Democrats who can see the second term coming.
• Syria and Israel broke out in war with missiles flying over the Golan Heights headed in both directions. What's old is new. Last night, Syria's Bashar al-Assad quoted General Custer at the Little Big Horn when he asked his advisors where all these damned Tomahawks are coming from.
• The U.S. Senate debated the renewal of the Farm Bill and its food stamp rules. The big question is how much money for farm subsidies. Farmers say they don't want a government hand-out, they want just enough to maintain their sense of frontier independence and rugged individualism.
• Business Week says the economic boom and tough border policy caused a labor shortage. This changes everything. Two years ago, Trump vowed to build the wall to Make America Great Again, and in two years he may have to promise to tear the wall down in order to Make America Clean Again.
