Let Them Eat Cake: While being driven to his golf course in Virginia yesterday, President Trump tweeted a call for illegal immigrants to be deprived of due process and sent immediately back.

He wrote, “We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came.”

Illegal immigrants and people who have crossed the order looking for asylum have a right to a hearing under US law, even if they are not citizens. But Trump wrote, “Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order.”

He also renewed his demand that immigrants be skilled and educated to feed the economy. “Immigration must be based on merit – we need people who will help to Make America Great Again!”

Separated: A teenage boy held in a Brownsville, Texas facility for immigrant children is missing after just walking away. Authorities said the 15-year-old was undocumented and unaccompanied when he was detained by the Border Patrol. CNN reports that a man who claims to be the boy’s father received a phone call from the teenager who said he had crossed the Mexico border and was headed back to Honduras.

The entire situation with immigrant children is messy. The Department of Health and Human Services says it is holding just over 2,000 minors separated from parents under Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy and that it has a plan to reunify families. They say they have already re-joined 552 children with their parents and that they know where all of the parents are.

Political Landscape: The Five-Thirty-Eight blog takes a look at Senate elections this fall as Democrats attempt a net gain of two seats to take control.

The blog reports that Republicans are in trouble in Ohio and Pennsylvania and things look good for Democrats in Montana, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. On the downside, Five-Thirty-Eight says the Democrats in Florida and North Dakota should be worried.

So far there’s no reliable polling in Indiana, Michigan, or Missouri, three states that Trump carried in 2016. And with little or no polling; Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee, and Minnesota.

So, basically it’s impossible to read the future.

Wildfire: An 8,000 acre wildfire in Northern California threatens hundreds of homes in rural Lake County. At least 10 homes burned to the ground and residents of 600 more were ordered to evacuate.

Power: Turkish strongman President Recep Tayyip Erdogan appears to have won a second term that will give him expanded powers when a new constitution goes into effect after this election. The job of prime minister will be eliminated and the president will have the power to directly appoint senior officials and intervene in the legal system.

The opposition questions the fairness of the election.

Erdogan has been operating the country under a state of emergency ever since a failed coup in 2016. He canned 107,000 public employees and arrested 50,000 people.

Social Pages: Danish actress Brigitte Nielsen, best known for starring in Rocky IV and Cobra alongside her second husband Sylvester Stallone, gave birth to her 5^th child at age 54. Her Italian mate Mattia Dessi, 39, is also her 5^th husband. It’s just a neat numerical symmetry, don’t you think? — Jon Snow and the redheaded Ygritte got married over the weekend in Scotland even though Ygritte died with an arrow in her during a battle at Castle Black. But Jon Snow wasn’t the one who shot her so she still loves him.
