Boris Enters: Former London mayor and foreign secretary Boris Johnson, the British equivalent of Donald Trump who promises to lead his country out of the European Union after Theresa May failed, has been put in position to become the next prime minister of England.

  Johnson beat Jeremy Hunt, his successor as foreign secretary, in the vote for leadership of Britain’s governing Conservative Party. It’s expected that the party will make him Prime Minister, eliminating a general election.

  Johnson is known to be blunt and somewhat erratic. He told his assembled party members, “I know that there will be people around the place who will question the wisdom of your decision, and there may even be some people here who still wonder quite what they have done.”

The Pork Barrel:Leaders of both parties in Congress and the White House have agreed to a two-year budget deal that will raise the surging federal deficit by $320 billion. The agreement averts a potential debt default this fall, avoids automatic spending cuts next year, and gives President Trump a clear budget picture through the end of his first term.

  Trump crowed via Twitter, “This was a real compromise in order to give another big victory to our Great Military and Vets!” Really, the military and veterans had nothing to do with it. It’s not as if the entire federal budget is about them.

  In a joint statement Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority leader Charles Schumer praised “robust funding for critical domestic priorities.”

  What it means is that the politicians do not want to deal with the real problems of the country during an election year.

The People Demand:Hundreds of thousands of protesters marched through the streets of San Juan, Puerto Rico, yesterday, demanding the resignation of the island’s governor, Ricardo Rosselló. They shut down a major highway and choked the city in one of the biggest demonstrations in Puerto Rico’s history. 

  “Governor, Puerto Rico Demands Your Resignation,” the island’s largest-circulation daily newspaper, El Nuevo Día, said in a front-page editorial. That’s a big step for a newspaper to take.

 Puerto Ricans have reached a boiling point over their lousy economy, government mismanagement and corruption, as well as a natural disaster that together have people fleeing the island.  Demonstrators chanted,  “Ricky, renuncia, el pueblo te repudia!” — Ricky, resign, the people reject you.

 Rosselló declined to resign on Sunday, but said he would not run for re-election in 2020.

Omerta:The Justice Department has ordered former Special Counsel Robert Mueller not to answer a wide variety of questions as he testifies before congressional committees this week.

  The letter says Mueller may not speak about redacted material in his report or continuing criminal cases. Without naming President Trump, the order prohibits what a lot of people want to hear. It says, “Established Department policy also precludes any comment on the facts developed and legal conclusions by the Special Counsel’s Office with respect to uncharged individuals, other than information contained within the portions of your report that already have been made public.”

Expedited Removal:The Trump administration’s new “expedited removal” policy goes into effect today, widening the net and speeding the deportation of illegal immigrants without a court hearing. The new rules will allow the quick deportation of anyone in the country who can’t prove they’ve been here for two years. 

  Under the expiring policy, immigration officials could use expedited removals mostly just for immigrants caught within 100 miles of the border and for those who’ve been in the country up to two weeks.

His brother is Aaron Neville.— Christopher Kraft, who was the founder and the voice of NASA’s mission control during the early years of space exploration, has died at age 95.
