EgyptAir: Searchers have found floating luggage, seats, and body parts from the downed EgyptAir passenger jet. The Airbus 320 was flying normally overnight Thursday from Paris to Cairo when it suddenly jerked to the left, then spun right and plummeted 38,000 feet into the Mediterranean. Larger pieces of the aircraft and the flight recorder have not yet been found and there is no obvious cause for the crash.

Portion Control: The FDA has updated food labels to put the calorie count in larger type and make portion sizes more reflective of today’s bigger appetites. The labels dated to the 1970s and 80s when portion sizes and people were much smaller. Some of the big food companies opposed a separate line on the label for added sugars, but they lost. Most big food processors will have to use the labels by July, 2018; smaller companies will have another year to comply.

Scale of 1 to 10: In the midst of a killer heat wave, the temperature in the city of Philodi, India hit 123.8 degrees, the highest temperature ever recorded in that country.

It’s getting warmer. The entire Earth recorded its highest average temperature ever in April, the 12th consecutive record-setting month.

Nation: Uniformed Secret Service officers shot and critically wounded a man who confronted them with a gun at the White House yesterday. President Obama was away playing golf at the time.

>Chicago police arrested 140 people and confiscated drugs, money, and weapons in an enormous roundup of gang members. Just as the police were speaking to reports at the South Side police headquarters two people were shot, one fatally, in a gang-related shooting.

**The Donald Trump Special Section**

 Straight Shooter: Donald Trump yesterday told the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association, “I will never let you down,” and won the organization’s endorsement for president. He said voting for him is the only way to save the Second Amendment. “Crooked Hillary Clinton is the most anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment candidate ever to run for office,” Trump said. He also bragged about how many guns his sons own. “They have so many rifles and so many guns, I tell you, sometimes even I get a little concerned.”

Please note that back in 2012 after the Sandy Hook school massacre, Trump tweeted in support of President Obama’s call for tighter gun controls. “President Obama spoke for me and every American in his remarks in #Newtown‪ Connecticut.”

Not So Huge: When Trump skipped a Republican debate in January and instead held a fundraiser for veterans, he claimed to have raised $6 million, $1 million of it donated by the Donald himself. One of Trump’s regular themes is improving treatment of veterans. “Our vets are being mistreated… and it’s not going to happen anymore.”

Now the Trump campaign admits the fundraiser didn’t raise $6 million. The Washington Post reported it at $4.5 million, but the campaign says that’s not accurate. Now, like Trump’s tax returns, the amount of money raised has yet to be released.

The Obit Page: Alan Young, the comedian and character actor who played the owner of a talking horse in the 1960s sitcom “Mister Ed” has died at age 96 in Woodland Hills, Calif. Young played the bumbling architect Wilbur Post, whose fun-loving horse talked only to him. Sitcoms were so innocent in those days.

Nobody’s Asking: Billionaire egotist and “Shark Tank” panelist Mark Cuban says he’s willing to consider being Hillary Clinton’s vice-president. “If she’s willing to listen, if she’s willing to hear other sides of things, then I’m wide open to discussing it.”
