I have an idea for you. Get a bunch of Dem donors to buy or lease or take over a small hospital. Plenty are close to going out of business.

Have it charge ONLY MEDICARE RATES. For everything. Be completely transparent with every penny you spend so everyone can see what it truly costs to run a small hospital.

See if you can make it work. See what services you can offer. Do not ask for any government subsidies. It has to operate at least to break even.

There are some hospitals that already do this. It wouldn’t be unique. If it works out, you can buy another one. Then another one. Till you have a network.

I’ll help where I can. And for those asking the inevitable, I have tried. As I posted earlier, they all ghosted me after learning how transparent I wanted to be.

The most successful car salesman in America had a different question:

Not “How do I sell this person a car today?” but “How do I make sure they come back to me for their next one?”

So he sometimes downsells, recommends a cheaper model that’s nearly as good. Builds instant trust. One McLaren salesman even saved Jay Leno $20k on ceramic brakes he didn’t need.

Rory Sutherland points out that if you only chase short-term, easily measured sales, you’ll never do this. The top guy probably looked average for his first few years.

Long-term success often looks like short-term “failure” when you’re playing a different game, one based on trust instead of extraction.

It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

🚨WATCH: I'm American first, not "Black first."

Black people aren't a monolith. Different histories, different countries, different experiences. Leading with skin color over shared values is a box I refuse to put myself in. I believe in this country and what it offers.

Shoutout to @stephenasmith for inviting me on his show! Go give him a follow!

In 2013, NBA player Brian Scalabrine, who averaged just 3 points per game over his career, responded to critics by challenging four volunteers who claimed they could beat him 1-on-1. In a public matchup, he dominated all four games, finishing with a combined score of 44–6.

The event became known as the “Scallenge” and is still remembered as one of the clearest examples of the massive gap between professional athletes and even highly skilled amateur players. By 2013, Brian Scalabrine had already retired from the NBA and was often the subject of jokes due to his limited playing time, with many pointing to his 3.1 points-per-game average as proof he wasn’t far above elite recreational players.

Scalabrine decided to challenge that perception directly. After hearing local players claim they could beat him one-on-one, he organized games against several strong amateur volunteers. The results were decisive—he won every matchup, finishing with a combined score of 44–6, showing that even post-retirement he was operating at a completely different level of speed, strength, skill, and basketball IQ.

The event produced one of the most famous quotes in sports, which remains unchanged:
“I’m closer to LeBron than you are to me.”

The line wasn’t arrogance, but a reality check about the skill gap between NBA players and everyone else. The Scallenge has since become a go-to reference whenever fans underestimate professional-level ability. Scalabrine’s career also included 11 NBA seasons and an NBA championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008, along with over 500 games played—an achievement reached by only a tiny fraction of players worldwide.

This will forever be the best prank

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Vice President JD Vance crossed into enemy territory today and walked away with The View's audience laughing on his side.

At one point, Joy Behar reached for the "childless cat ladies" line, begging for a fight. Vance refused to give her one.

JOY: "In the book, Mr. Vice President, you make a mea culpa for calling Democrats childless cat ladies."

VANCE: "My most bone-headed comment."

JOY: "What were you thinking?"

VANCE: "So Joy said when we were off air that I'm fine which I think is about the best endorsement I'm going to get from Joy Behar."

JOY: "Well for a Republican. For a Republican."

VANCE: "Thank you, I appreciate that. Graded on a curve here at The View."

He took the hit, charmed the hostile audience, and had the entire room celebrating his family in less than 60 seconds.

Not one Democrat voted to fund the border. Not one.

Thankfully, the bill President Trump signed locks in $69.5B for ICE and Border Patrol through his entire second term and:

✔️Expands detention capacity
✔️Upgrades surveillance
✔️Protects ICE and Border Patrol from Democrat defunding schemes

It’s more than just baseball to this man ✝️

The "Jesus Fish" 🐟, also known as the Ichthys or Ichthus, is an ancient symbol with deep roots in early Christianity. Its simple outline of a fish was more than just a design—it carried profound meaning and served as a secret code for Christians during times of persecution under the Roman Empire.

The word "Ichthys" comes from Greek, where it serves as an acronym: Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter, translating to Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. Early Christians used this symbol to discreetly identify one another. For instance, one person might draw half of the fish in the sand, and if the other completed it, their shared faith was confirmed without risking exposure.

Vice President @JDVance explains why he chose to sit down with the sad cat ladies on The View, even though they hate his guts:

“The President’s attitude on this is, and I really do believe this, is 'you go everywhere. You go anywhere to try and take the message'… What I love about this administration is we go everywhere, and The View has a lot of people who watch it. Now, most of them are not sympathetic to the administration. But if every 10 people who watch that show are not fans of ours, but you get the message out to one open-minded person, that was worth it in my view. And that’s how we’re going to win the future, is actually go out and persuade people even in hostile places.”

🔥 Whoopi Goldberg just tried claiming the Trump admin is CASTING ASIDE black people, and JD Vance is NOT having it

WHOOPI: What did black people do to this administration to make you stigmatize folks of color?!

VANCE: "Look at Washington, DC, one of the most democratic and one of the BLACKEST—by share of population—cities, has seen a RADICAL decrease in violent crime and sexual assault and murders.

We have tried to take the crime issue seriously in part because we believe EVERYBODY, whether you are black or white or rich or poor, deserves to live in a safe neighborhood."

The race hustling is TOTAL BS. And it doesn't work on reasonable people anymore.

[Wesley Hunt @WesleyHuntTX]

It’s amazing how quickly the gatekeepers of culture decide what’s acceptable.

In June, every logo becomes a rainbow. Every stadium, every jersey, every broadcast gets a political message.

But put a Bible verse on your cap? Suddenly that’s “controversial.”

Put an American slogan front and center? Suddenly that’s “divisive.”

The NFL had no problem painting political movements in the end zone. Major League Baseball has no problem turning every June into a month-long corporate activism campaign.

Yet the moment someone wants to celebrate faith, patriotism, or traditional values, we’re told those things don’t belong in sports.

Funny how the people preaching inclusion always seem to have a very specific list of viewpoints they’re willing to include.

If rainbow logos belong in sports, then so do Bible verses.

If political messages belong in sports, then so do messages celebrating faith, family, and country.

The double standard isn’t subtle anymore. EVERYONE sees it.

There’s no journalist in the nation as hard core as @jenvanlaar (and I know MANY journalists). She hustles harder than anyone else & goes deeper than others would dream of doing.

If you don’t follow her already, I urge you to do so ASAP & start reading her vast body of work regarding the Newsoms & their close associates like Dana Williamson, the felon who also worked for @XavierBecerra

Jen’s objective work is the product of years of deep, traditional investigative journalism that we sorely lack in modern media. Read everything she posts because she’s been proven correct again and again.

BREAKING: The FBI says it thwarted a drone attack targeting Sunday's UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn.

Five suspects are in custody after allegedly plotting a multi-phase terror attack that involved using explosive-laden drones to strike buildings near the event, sparking mass panic and driving the fleeing crowd toward a sniper team poised to pick them off.
