Apt pupil

But will he do his homework? Top Republicans have decided that presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump needs to go to school for a crash course in foreign policy.

They’re confident that the Donald will learn a lot — unless, of course, he gets expelled for sticking a “kick me” sign on teacher Lindsay Graham’s back.

What won’t change: Once they become ubiquitous in a couple of decades, self-driving cars will be so popular that they will trigger a surge in vehicle traffic — and congestion, researchers say.

This can only mean that when the robots rebel and conquer humanity, it’ll be because they’ve had it up to here with the I-405 parking lot.

Don’t know much about history: This day in 1966, Mao Zedong launched China’s youth-driven Cultural Revolution, aimed at purging the country of “counter-revolutionaries.”

It’s not to be confused with Bernie Sanders’ political revolution, although the “Bernie bros” probably fantasize about Hillary Clinton being forced to work in the yam harvest with the peasants.
