BIG 3

1 Washington won't have to worry about a fiscal crisis, at least for two years. President Trump and congressional leaders reached a two-year budget agreement which suspends the debt ceiling until July 2021 and eliminates the budget caps put into place in 2011.

Republicans are happy because they'll get increased spending for defense, while Democrats are pleased because they'll get more money for domestic programs.

2 Britain’s next Prime Minister will be Boris Johnson after he won a ballot vote of Conservative Party members against Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt.  

Johnson is an avid supporter of Brexit and former Mayor of London and had been expected to win.

 He’ll replace outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May Wednesday after she announced her resignation last month amid failure to lead the nation out of the European Union.

There will be a chance of a shower or storm in the PM, mainly along and east of US 131 (the lakeshore should stay dry). Look for high temperatures in the upper 70s (low 70s at Lake Michigan) with northwest winds at 5-15 mph. *From WOODTV.com*

Crazy crash

He had $140 million worth of meth in his vehicle. Then he crashed it into a parked police car. Oops.

Son of the year

Remember the man who scaled -- like a real-life Spiderman -- a burning 19-story building in Philly last week? Turns out he was doing it to save his mom.
