SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET: 

AND NOW THE COMEBACKS – FROM PAGE SIX:   Charlie Rose will attend Allen & Co.’s high-powered Sun Valley, Idaho, gathering of masters of the universe next month, along with Shari Redstone, CBS honcho Les Moonves, Mark Zuckerberg, Bob Iger and Brian Roberts, according to Vanity Fair.  The mag says that Rose — who was fired from CBS and PBS after a #MeToo scandal — “is likely to bring a cloud of radioactivity to the weeklong retreat, known for its off-the-record gab sessions, pristine hiking trails and, above all, the potential for furtive deal-making.”  Page Six previously reported that, according to Tina Brown, some producers were pitching a new talk show as a Rose comeback vehicle.  There is also talk of Bill O'Reilly making a comeback.  Successful comebacks are actually quite rare in TV and Hollywood, but they've happened.  Frank Sinatra's in the early fifties, was possibly the greatest comeback of all time.  Don't expect anything close among the current crop of "Me too" graduates.

GOOD MOVE – FROM GATEWAY PUNDIT:   President Donald Trump met with reporters this morning before departing to the much anticipated G7 meetings in Canada this weekend.  Before boarding Marine One President Trump told reporters he is likely to support ending the ban on marijuana.  President Trump also asked the NFL kneelers to recommend to him the names of people they believe have been unfairly prosecuted and imprisoned.  This may be the solution to the anti-US kneelers who continue to insult veterans, and patriots by kneeling during the National Anthem at ballgames.  Okay, the president has welcomed the kneelers' recommendations.  Will he get any?  I'm guessing he won't.  Then the ball, and the kneel, will be in the kneelers' court. 

GREAT TO SEE THIS – FROM THE NEW YORK POST:  A Bronx teen made the stunning journey from a homeless shelter to a full ride at MIT — and is crediting Success Academy for lighting his path.
Moctar Fall, of The Bronx, is one of 16 members of the charter school network’s first graduating high-school class — all of whom nabbed spots at four-year colleges ranging from Barnard and Tufts to Stony Brook and Emory.  “There were hardships in my life,” Fall, 17, told The Post. “There was stress that got in the way of getting my work done and staying positive. But that’s when the discipline helps to push you through.”  Fall’s mother, Ndimou Ndiaye, began to weep Thursday when she spotted Success Academy founder Eva Moskowitz in a hallway and embraced her.  “This school saved my family,” she told The Post. “This school is saving lots of families.”  They're African immigrants.  Good kid, good parents, good school.  You can't beat that combination.
