Two thoughts based on yesterday's news:

Thought The First - Space Force!

Comes news today that Trump ordered the Pentagon to create a separate space force. He doesn't actually have the authority to do so (it requires Congress to pass a law) and at this point in time making a space force is merely a full-employment act for flag officers.

I can't find the actual text of the Executive Order, but I've been told it doesn't actually say "go make a space force." In short, typical Trump - all flash and no cash.

Thought the Second - DHS

I watched part of yesterday's news conference in which DHS Secretary attempted to defend the current policy of separating children from families. It was an amazing example of bald-faced lying.
