@mcuban Yeah, they are all just horribly run, it’s shocking to anyone that works at a real business

Why aren’t any of these at risk hospitals publishing their full accounting so everyone can see where they spend their money ? All but one group of hospitals that I have looked at potentially investing in, spend so much on consultants and fees that it’s no wonder they are at risk Plus, I have NEVER seen an industry that is worse than hospitals when it comes to buying medications and items like implants, screws, other devices. They overpay for everything. And then when you show them how to save money, their “supply chain” employees resist any change. They are so set in their ways, it’s a shock more don’t go out of business. Prove me wrong.

@emilysavesusa It’s crazy to me how most people ignore exactly what you are talking about.

It’s fucking insane that wealthy white American couples raking in millions a year are straight-up refusing to have kids because the cost of raising a family in this clown world has gotten so brutal. Meanwhile, we’re importing millions of brown illegal immigrants—like the Somalis who show up and immediately start popping out five kids on welfare, sucking up every benefit imaginable—while the hardworking taxpayers who actually built this country and pay for all that shit can’t even afford to reproduce themselves. The people keeping America afloat are being financially sterilized, and the government is deliberately replacing them with a dependent underclass that drains the system dry. Pure demographic suicide, bankrolled by the very citizens it’s wiping out.

@NatHalberstadt She makes the type of arguments I would make after a few beers

It’s probably in poor taste to say too much specifically about Justice KBJ. Her comments really speak for themselves. But it remains true that DEI systematically elevated a large number of deeply unqualified and unserious people to roles where they are now doing tremendous damage, partly due to sheer incompetence, partly due to the sorts of ideological factors associated with being a DEI beneficiary. The question of how we navigate unwinding this in the years ahead remains open.

@CrimeWatchMpls Just an enormous middle finger to any law abiding taxpayer

Let's be real here. These lame sentences in Feeding Our Future are in large part a PROSECUTORIAL FAILURE. Our US Attorney for Minnesota is OFFERING PLEA DEALS instead of taking these cases to trial. Defendants are not entitled to be offered plea deals. Take them to trial.

@MsMelChen Most of the strong Europeans died in the world wars. The weak have let it rot.

Let’s be real here. Europe has spent decades freeloading on American security. Even now, with every NATO member finally hitting the 2% GDP target in 2025. But beyond the financial contributions, the real rupture is philosophical and the Iran crisis has shown a spotlight on it. Europe worships process. Endless committees, consultations, and “predictability.” Macron actually calls it a virtue. For Trump, this is paralysis as his style is to articulate a threat, fix a target, and act. The Americans are men of conviction and purpose. Europe on the other hand lives by bureaucratic liturgy and in high-minded abstractions. Sure, Americans might make mistakes when acting. But Europe never considers what the costs of not acting actually are. Just look at how their nations are doing on various fronts, especially on the border crisis, and you see the same cancerous rot that undergirds their foreign policy approach play out domestically. It's the same problem on a different scale. Iran is currently holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, choking 20% of global oil and spiking prices past $100 a barrel. Meanwhile, the regime is bleeding from strikes, its nuclear ambitions are still alive despite degraded capability, and its proxies are firing missiles at allies and oil tankers. If this isn’t a clear and present danger to the global economy - of which Europe is a part - then I don’t know what is. Yet when Washington asked to use European bases to finish the job - bases the US has defended for generations, the response was hesitation and hand-wringing. The US did strike from RAF Fairford, but only after warnings that British soil could become a “legitimate target.” If you cannot agree that a theocratic regime with eschatological ambitions who have shown no restraint in hitting out at Gulf countries and threatening the world’s energy jugular is an enemy worth confronting, then what, exactly, are we allies about? Europe loves to preen about being tough on Russia. They issue condemnations and speeches and slap sanctions that hardly work to cripple the Russian economy. Now here was a chance to do something concrete: let the Americans use the bases they already pay for, help clear the Strait, and actually degrade the Iranian war machine that arms Moscow’s proxies. Turmp didn’t ask for boots on the ground or any kind of more offensive action. All he wanted was permission to operate from the infrastructure America has underwritten for decades. They couldn’t even manage that. So can you blame the Americans for seeing NATO for what it is? A paper-tiger alliance that expects Washington to bleed and pay while Brussels and London convenes and deliberates. If Europe refuses to treat Iran as the threat it is while happily letting American power keep the Strait open and the lights on, then the alliance is already dead. Trump is simply stating the obvious and the Americans are becoming very reluctant to subsidize the European delusion any longer.

@realBrandonGill She’s a great litmus test to judge a persons intellect

To illustrate the total absurdity of Justice Jackson, she ruled last year that states *do not* have the right to ban child sex changes, but ruled today that states *do* have the right to ban counselors from telling boys they are not girls.

@andybrehm Yeah and it will never change with a voting base that refuses to engage their thinking brain. It will get a lot worse, and then worse after that.

Minnesotans once believed - rightly so - that their high tax payments went to fund roads, schools and quality public service. But now we know our hardearned money really goes to feed fraudsters and an insatiable public employee bureaucracy. startribune.com/st-paul-melvin…

@andrewwagner Remember to work hard so the smug Somalians can have 5 kids each, who will also never work and continue having 5 kids each.

I’m tired of paying taxes.

@gfienberg17 @fried_egg_golf @NoLayingUp Yeah.

The gap between @fried_egg_golf and @NoLayingUp might be as big as its ever been. Operations headed in entirely different directions. In my opinion, this is the result of one being staffed w authenticity and the other side being filled w pretentious goobers. But thats just the opinion of one golf hardo. To each thier own, I guess.

@PatGarofalo Then she’ll get out and do it all over again. We are not a serious country since Covid.

Think of the Minnesotans who work 40+ hours a week and try to pay all their bills. They see fraudsters steal tax dollars. When caught, the fraudsters only get a slap on the wrist but stay rich. 6 months in prison? For that kind of a financial gain? Sounds like a better deal than working for a living. No wonder people are angry.

@FischerKing64 People are not taking about this enough

Imagine you are a working father living in the Midwest, you make 75k a year. You can support your family, but you're not rich. You worry about paying for college. Then you read about some Somalian stealing $1m out of federal healthcare programs. $1 million for the normal guy would eliminate an enormous amount of his stress. The college thing would be covered. Retirement wouldn't appear so daunting. It's why guys like this buy lottery tickets. And instead he pays into the system and watches "newcomers" make a complete ass out of him. This fraud is bad financially, but it just makes a mockery of all the hard work of normal people and tears away at the social fabric.

@GolfTravelerJoe @CourseVaults @Sand_Valley Same. 3 nights in shoulder season.

@CourseVaults Sand Valley @Sand_Valley

You and your buddies are planning a golf trip this summer. Your budget: $2,000/pp. Where are you going?

@Top100Rick I don’t think I would ever do that, you are hardcore!

How far would you fly for a unique golf experience? Pushed the limits with this one. That’s a long time to be in a metal tube flying 36,000 feet in the air. Don’t ever think being a golf course explorer is easy. The grind never stops. There is always a next one.

@Lancegooden It makes more sense when you realize he’s retarded

80% of Somali immigrants are on welfare. $9 billion in Somali fraud. Tim Walz’s response? Unconditional loyalty to the people ripping off American taxpayers.

@DogDad_MN Insane. Wonder how much @DeRushaJ got to provide cover?

Curious what the new CEO is getting after the Second Harvest Board approved paying $720K to former leader? Overpaid & hiring criminals. alphanews.org/food-bank-payi…

@LouNewsMan Why are they all autistic?

The woman who went viral directing the N-word at a severely autistic 8-year-old in Rochester MN will go on trial in June. Her attorney will argue what she did is protected under the 1st Amendment while the prosecutor will argue her words and behavior amounted to “fighting words,” which is unprotected speech.

@JoeSmithNHL @RussoHockey Kirill has sucked ass recently certainly not worth $17M!!!

A rocky first period sparks a 6-3 loss to Bruins and adds to “frustrating stretch” for #mnwild. And superstar Kirill Kaprizov knows there’s more in him down the stretch: “Just need better.” Takeaways from Boston nytimes.com/athletic/71547…

@kkmaas06 @0nlySpookz @sentdefender Iran is saving all their good stuff for 2040

@MN_Peter @0nlySpookz @sentdefender Yeah umm k

Pictures show the total loss of 81-0005, an E-3G “Sentry” Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Aircraft with the U.S. Air Force’s 552nd Air Control Wing based out of Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, following yesterday’s Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The strike appears to have purposefully targeted the most important part of the E-3, that being rear of the aircraft which holds its rotating radar dome, containing several sensitive instruments including antennas for the E-3’s AN/APY-2 Surveillance Radar System.
