First things first: AAPL hits a new all-time high. "Wolfe" reverses bear take. -- CNBC. 

Top stories on CNBC news break:

• lights coming back on in New Orleans. First electricity coming from a natural gas power plant in local area. Noted: solar / wind not mentioned. Faux environmentalists need to picket this power plant immediately.
  
• abortion bill in Texas. Directly challenges Roe vs Wade. Bill passed six weeks ago (?). Appeal being considered by US Supreme Court to take up the Texas law. Crickets. The big question: does the US Supreme Court want to "wade" into this issue all over again, but then, again, if it directly challenges Roe vs Wade, what can SCOTUS do? My hunch: they are reading the Texas law very, very closely to see if it violates Roe vs Wade. Just 'cause MSM says the bill directly challenges Roe vs Wade doesn't make that true.
  
• I missed the third story: something about an evacuation. Not sure where: California? Afghanistan? New Orleans. It was probably related to California fires, but, like I said, I missed it.
• Covid-19: Boston Red Sox -- tenth player on roster has tested positive; all-star shortstop. Taken out of line-up. 

Nothing about Afghanistan. This story is dead.

Toilet paper: there are reports today of spot shortages across the US as folks start to stock up again. My suggestion: order toilet paper on line. And while one is at it, SDA Laboratories markets 2 mg tabs, generic ivermectin, 200 count, for $16.95 as anti-diarrheal. I can't make this up. Prediction: we will soon see late-night television ads and "shopping network" market the Covid-19 bundle:

• Tommie Copper Covid-19 face masks;
• Tommie TP; and,
• Tommie tabs (generic ivermectin)
• order now and get two Japanese knives for free.
• all for $99 in three convenient monthly installments
• and a bonus Lambda-variant three-month supply for the first 1,000 to call in.
