"Perfect night!!!"

-Mary W's post on Facebook

 

"The ride was loads of fun, with Captain Good getting us started by cracking great jokes and launching the narrative for the trip. Far more rollicking fun than spooky, it was great for all ages."

A stretch of road in Florida is being renamed in honor of President Trump. Trump was in attendance at a dedication ceremony in Palm Beach on Friday, and called it "an amazing gesture" he'll remember all of his life. Palm Beach County commissioners voted unanimously to rename part of the road in July.        President Trump says there's currently no reason to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota. Before leaving the White House for Florida on Friday, Trump was asked about using the act as protests continue in Minneapolis. Trump said there's no reason to use it at this time, adding, that if he "needed it, it's available" to him.        A Utah judge is listening to arguments on whether prosecutors in the Charlie Kirk assassination case should be disqualified because of a conflict of interest. Lawyers for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of shooting the conservative personality at a rally in September, say a key prosecutor has a family member who was present at the time Kirk was shot. They argue that communications between them raise concerns over impartiality and the prosecution's decision to seek the death penalty.        Wall Street is closing the week with stocks lower. Stocks fell after President Trump said he would prefer having White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett stay in his current role rather than become the next Federal Reserve chairman. Investors view Hassett as the more market friendly pick to replace retiring Fed Chair Jerome Powell as opposed to other potential candidates. At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 83 points to 49-359. The S&P 500 lost four points to 69-40. The Nasdaq fell 14 points to 23-515.        Former Vice President Kamala Harris says if Martin Luther King Jr. could look at the U.S. today, he'd see many Americans are fed up. Harris delivered the keynote speech at the MLK Inferfaith Breakfast in Chicago Friday. She said the slain civil rights leader would see that people today are "sick and tired of being sick and tired."        H-E-B is claiming the top spot when it comes to grocery stores. Dunnhumby, a customer data science company, recently released its ninth annual Retailer Preference Index, ranking the chain first for the fourth year in a row. Market Basket, Woodman's, Costco, and Aldi round out the top five.
