Politics: great news for Trump -- "defiant Schumer says he won't step down; isn't going anywhere." That second half is true -- Schumer isn't going anywhere. LOL.
- Schumer is "old school" -- big plus for Trump in negotiations;

Universities looking to "play ball with Trump." Link to The WSJ. Position 7.

North Texas weather: 79°F today (was forecast to reach 80°F but may not make it). Forecast for tomorrow, 81°F ... but look at this .. 89°F on Tuesday. Folks are at the pool today. A bit windy which makes it feel a bit cooler than it really is.
