Here is a non-comprehensive list of wins in week 15: The economy added 177,000 new jobs in April, according to the latest jobs report — smashing expectations for another month as the workforce grows and businesses onshore jobs.

Good morning from parking lot across from Mar-a-Lago, where a very good boy named Sam has dutifully sniffed pool’s gear while pool was being checked with a magnetometer wand by a Secret Service human. Having collectively been declared free of explosives and weapons, your pool is holding in vans while awaiting POTUS movement. The only event on his schedule today is tonight’s RNC Spring Gala at MAL, which as of now is…
