SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET: 

DEMS ON THE BRINK? – The dramatic announcement that President Trump will meet North Korean chieftain Kim Jong-un (AKA Rocket Man) to talk peace has hit Washington, Manhattan, and Beverly Hills hard.  It is reported that a long waiting list has been established for Democrats at leading psychiatrists, and not-so-leading ones.  The Dems want to know when Trump stopped being a warmongering, fanatical, racist superpatriot pig.  They want to know if this is another sinister expression of Trumpism.  Is he really planning to join Kim in an all-out attack on trans people and vegetarians?  Will Kim be brought in as the next White House chief of staff?  The Dems are confused and hurt.  They said that Ronald Reagan was a warmongering destroyer of all living things, and that didn't work out either.  Some Dems are even hinting at developing ideas for governing, despite their aversion to thought.  They want answers from shrinks.  Either that, or they want safe spaces. 

OH, SAVE US – FROM THE HILL:   Former President Barack Obama is reportedly in talks with Netflix about producing a series of shows, including some highlighting inspirational stories.  Obama and former first lady Michele Obama are in talks to receive compensation for producing exclusive content for the streaming service, The New York Times reports.  “President and Mrs. Obama have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire,” Eric Schultz, a senior adviser to the former president, told the Times.  “Throughout their lives, they have lifted up stories of people whose efforts to make a difference are quietly changing the world for the better. As they consider their future personal plans, they continue to explore new ways to help others tell and share their stories.”  So, Trump is now president and Obama will be a reality star.  Ain't life funny? 

NOW WE'RE TALKIN' AMERICA – FROM DAILY CALLER:  President Donald Trump announced during a Thursday cabinet meeting that NASA is “bringing back that whole space flight” program and would be sending “something very beautiful to Mars in the very near future.”  Before pivoting to Mars, POTUS praised the recent work of Elon Musk and SpaceX on the Falcon rocket program. “Before me are some rocket ships. You haven’t seen that from this country in a long time,” Trump stated. “Many the jobs we’re doing, Mike Pence is the chairman, many of these jobs we are doing are privately financed. We’re letting them use the Kennedy Space Center for a fee. Rich guys, they love rocket ships. And that’s good. That’s better than us paying for it. And I notice the prices of the last one, they said it cost $80 million. If the government did it, the same thing would’ve cost probably 40, 50 times that amount of money.”  Obama told his NASA head that a major objective of the agency was Muslim outreach.  No it ain't.  The main objective of NASA is making dreams come true.
