@BananoJrMHM I haven’t seen any criticism. Only people claiming there was criticism.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

I agree with everything Sunny Hostin says here about the alleged Cornell rape case. And no, I have not been hacked. She’s 100% right.

I have a friend whose daughter doesn’t want her dad’s Tesla (turning 16) because of @elonmusk Do people actually listen to what he has to say?

[Wiki Leaks 1.0 @WikiLeaksQ]

Elon Musk becomes deeply moved, and deadly serious, when Bret Baier asks him why he called Sen. Mark Kelly a "Traitor" for pushing to send more US aid and weapons to Ukraine.

Watch every second of his response.

"We should have empathy for the thousands of people dying everyday in the trenches. For no movement in the lines. For the past two years thousands of people have died every week for nothing."

"I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. Those who virtue signal and say we can't give into Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day."

"I have contempt for such people and I want to make that clear. Because they're virtue signaling and their lack of a solution means that kids don't have a father. It means parents lost a son. For what? Nothing."

@ClayTravis I’m not sure putting the Cubs on at 9pm central time is great either. Plus putting it on an app rather than National easily accessible TV.

life is good today, Chicago 🫶🏼

Easy to make this bet…hard to lose…

[FQMedia @fqmedia_]

Eagles -3.5 might be the easiest bet of your life.

I understand Chicago is the sharp side. I’m telling you right now, it won’t matter one bit.

You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than seeing the Bears cover tonight.

I’m one of the biggest Caleb Williams believers out there, and tonight the world is going to find out just how much he means to this football team.

Chicago has a 0% chance of covering.

Yes. ZERO percent.

Does this surprise anyone?

🦔The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association says insurers paid out nearly $1 billion more than usual from AI-assisted hospital documentation in 2024-2025. Hospitals use AI to scan records and find secondary diagnoses that human reviewers missed. More diagnoses means higher reimbursements. But treatment levels haven't gone up.
BCBSA's SVP of data science said AI is "identifying more billable conditions, not sicker patients." Insurers now deploy their own AI to deny those same claims. Patients pay for both through higher premiums.

My Take
This might be the most American healthcare story I've ever read. Hospitals bought AI to find more things to bill for. Insurers bought AI to deny those bills. The technology cost money on each end and the tab went straight to patients through higher premiums. A billion dollars moved and no one got any healthier. The only thing that changed was the size of the invoices.

Two sides of a trillion-dollar industry found a new tool to fight over the same pool of money and the person in the hospital bed pays for all of it. Premiums go up, denials go up, and the AI vendors collect from everyone. If you want to know who AI works for, stop reading the press releases and look at where the money goes. In healthcare it went straight into the billing department.

Norm Macdonald was Conan’s favorite guest. So here is the greatest joke in late night

[BB @BBlazeOB]

@blakekueffer @LauraPowellEsq Not borderline IMO. They convince elderly people that it’s “free,” a “no-brainer.” Little do they realize that most of the time the payment they’re making to rent their panels is close to what their electric bill would have been. Not to mention what happens when they go to sell.

NEW: We visited PS 307, the failing public school that Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her daughter to.

The teachers make an average of over $100,000 a year. The school spends $52,000 per student each year. The student/teacher ratio is 9 to 1.

We went to another school just down the street that spends less than half of what PS 307 does—yet the academic outcomes are significantly better.

Underfunding and racism aren't causing schools to fail. @DanielDiMartino explains what is:

@GBraggsJr23 I hate being a Bears fan

Fox's Joe Davis captures the energy in Chicago as Caleb Williams is wheeled off for a non-contact injury:

"59 points last week, as much buzz around this team as you're going to have after Week 1. The ultimate buzzkill here today." 🏈📺

We need more of this.

[Bruce Bowman @boswelltoday]

This is superb.

The lesson begins with the usual catechism: J.K. Rowling has “bigoted opinions”.

Then someone makes the unforgivable mistake of reading what she actually wrote.

Suddenly, certainty requires definitions. Slogans require evidence. “Everyone knows” requires rather more than everyone saying it.

Critical thinking really is murder on a fashionable consensus.

Similar ish situation. Also received no condolences from the Illinois politicians.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸
