1) A great column here by Chris Bray on blue zone collapse. Many of us have wondered, "how long can this keep goin' on" (with apologies to the band, "Ace")? Bray argues that the size of these cancerous blue zones prevents an implosion as one might see with a Vegas casino, but rather a slow, mind-numbing reduction in daily quality of life and government services that people are slow to respond to---a kind of boiled frog. He notes various towns around SF have seen their fire departments halved, police response time now up to 30 minutes, plus the constant un-repaired roads, while money consistently goes into administrators' pockets. Chris followed up with another column in the same vein, showing how Hennepin Co. (MN, naturally) County Hospital is collapsing with a $36 million deficit. In a letter to all employees, the administrator said they must find $50 million in the first quarter or close. Welp, ya got 11 weeks. This utter pigbladder of an administrator, when listing the hospital's mission, didn't say "Healing the sick." Oh no. Wanna guess? Yep, "ending disparities' in health care. Folks they are more concerned that everyone dies together than anyone lives.

2) CBS says Trump's approval among Republicans is 90%. It's the Communist Broadcasting System, so make it 97%. But hold on. I thought DemoKKKrats were going to win everything in November. Now The Hill (a DemoKKKrat mouthpiece) is warning that it may be entirely derailed by the Skinny Minny fraud? Meanwhile, I do NOT trust any poll, but this one is pretty devastating for DemoKKKrats. Oh, and DemoKKKrats are already dividing over Cackles, who is "eyeing" a 2028 presidential run. Look, it's her or the Amazing Zohran. She isn't radical enough for the chutescooters in fascist antifa or Black Looters Matter. So you're gonna get Zohran with a divided party;. Can you say President Vance with 360 electoral votes? I'm telling you, this is a serious rift in the DemoKKKrat Party and this Israel thing is one of the big divides is. Cackles had her staff investigate PA Gov. Josh "Slaphappy" Shapiro as an Israeli agent. Can you say the Nuremberg Nicky of the left?

3) I don't trust any poll, but for those of you who like polls, this one says Americans trust Rs more than DemoKKKrats on almost every issue.

4) Louisiana's governor Jeff Landry says his state's DOGE initiative has saved $1 billion already.
