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

MADNESS – FROM DAILY CALLER:   Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Sunday expressed regret over eating at Chick-fil-A, because of the chicken company’s CEO’s personal views on gay marriage.
Dorsey tweeted a screenshot from his phone that showed a purchase he had made at Chick-fil-A using a mobile application. After a liberal backlash, however, Dorsey apologized for eating at the popular fast food restaurant.  At issue was Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s 2012 support for defining marriage as between a man and a woman, which he described as “the biblical definition of a family.”  Former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien was among those to call out Dorsey for eating at the self-described home of the original chicken sandwich.  So now we're expected to check out the owner's religious views before ordering lunch?  Not the way a free society works.

GOOD ECONOMIC SIGN – FROM BREITBART:   Overall enrollment in the nation’s food stamp program has dipped to its lowest level in eight years, according to the latest statistics released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).  The latest USDA data reveals that enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—the federal government program that administers food stamps—dropped to 40,083,954 in March 2018.  It's a sign of a healthier economy.  Fewer people need government assistance.  The liberals must be tearing their hair out.

A RATINGS HIT – FROM DAILYWIRE.COM:  The summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un was one of the most anticipated events of the year, and it showed in the ratings, as Fox News's Sean Hannity dominated all of television — not just cable — during the historic event.
Fox News's coverage of the historic meeting between the two leaders topped cable news, earning the top ranking in both total day and primetime for total viewers as well as the coveted 25-54 demographic, according to Nielsen Media Research.  The highest rated of Fox News's coverage was Hannity's program, which dominated all of television with 5.9 million total viewers, beating out all of broadcast primetime and all of cable.  And then there's CNN's audience of six.
