If left untreated or if patients do not reach the hospital in time, up to 40% of all cases can be fatal almost instantly. And depending how large the ruptured aneurysm is, many patients die before making it on the operating table. John Ritter, Alan Thicke, Lucille Ball, George C. Scott, Conway Twitty, and Albert Einstein all died from a dissecting aortic aneurysm. 

A rupture aneurysm can be prevented by avoiding smoking, monitoring blood pressure and getting a CT scan.

One would think Graham got yearly check-ups considering the benefits packages members of Congress have. Maybe he just didn't trust doctors.

When asked if he will be motivated by Americans’ economic hardships as he tries to strike a deal that will end the Iran war, Trump said, "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody."

Psst, MAGA people, "anybody" means you too.

Yep the Wisconsin Midday pick 4 was "8647". Is the DOJ as we speak, writing criminal charges against the Wisconsin Lottery for "threatening the POTUS"?

Can't wait to see what happens when James Comey's lawyers presents that to the judge.

Yep, Jesus or Doctor Trump declared war on Pope Leo without ever asking Congress as is mandatory according to Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution. I'm sure all the Republicans running for reelection in predominately Catholic districts were less than thrilled when they got the memo.

"never to be brought back again."  Trump threatened to wipe out almost 100 million people and regardless whether it happened or not, he can never unsay it.

Texas GOP Rep, Chip Roy apparently believes possibly disenfranchising millions of women voters is justified because a handful of foolish illegals would register to vote and take a chance of being caught and deported. Maybe part of being a racist is believing that people that don't look like you are stupid. And possibly women too. 

The real impact of the SAVE Act will be on women that are married and anyone's whose name on their drivers license is different than the name on their birth certificate. 

And speaking of faulty logic, what's the point of Noem's gestapo ICE agents if they are not rounding up all the illegals?

Missed watching the first Super Bowl game half time show where The University of Arizona Symphonic Marching Band, the Grambling State University Marching Band, Al Hurt, and the Anaheim High School Ana-Hi-Steppers Drill Team and Flag Girls preformed. It wasn't until Super Bowl XXVII with Michael Jackson's half time performance  that was headlined by mega entertainers. The next year, Diana Ross and starting with XXXV, every half time show featured a headliner from various entertainment venues. 

This year went to a Super Bowl party at the local VFW where several people were playing slot machines during half time. I was playing euchre and wasn't paying attention to the show and my only concern with the game was the scores at the end of each quarter and my numbers on the squares. Remember watching Super Bowl XXXVIII but again didn't watch the half time show and missed the Janet Jackson - Justin Timberlake controversy though I saw the replays the next day.

Only the very woke Turning Point USA know why their little feelings were hurt when this year the NFL decided on Bad Bunny to headline. Or is that part of their "let's see if we can divide the country agenda?

After losing some of his congressional supporters, Trump decided to tick off the NRA with that statement. 

FBI director Patel said, "You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest," 

Kristi Noem said, "I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun".  AND

Kyle Rittenhouse Said, "My bad".

That's an email subject line sent out by MAGA before directing supporters to take a "citizens only survey." Those who haven't contributed, their records to citizen only survey say: response pending," the email read. "Don't tell me you're an illegal alien?!?!?" 

It's almost like saying give Trump money or else ICE will assume they are an illegal alien and “track you down”.

Trump said because of the "cartel control of Mexico and an annual U.S. death toll of “250,000 to 300,000” people". As usual he forgot to check his own DEA or the facts because according to DEA's National Drug Threat Assessment reports 112,910 drug related deaths in 2025. The number of drug overdoses was down 25% from 2024.

Which makes more sense, going after the people in the U.S. selling the drugs to our dope heads or invading and going to war with Mexico?

The business community in Minnesota prides itself in providing leadership and solving problems to ensure a strong and vibrant state. The recent challenges facing our state have created widespread disruption and tragic loss of life. For the past several weeks, representatives of Minnesota’s business community have been working every day behind the scenes with federal, state and local officials to advance real solutions. These efforts have included close communication with the Governor, the White House, the Vice President and local mayors. There are ways for us to come together to foster progress. 

With yesterday’s tragic news, we are calling for an immediate deescalation of tensions and for state, local and federal officials to work together to find real solutions. 

We have been working for generations to build a strong and vibrant state here in Minnesota and will do so in the months and years ahead with equal and even greater commitment. In this difficult moment for our community, we call for peace and focused cooperation among local, state and federal leaders to achieve a swift and durable solution that enables families, businesses, our employees, and communities across Minnesota to resume our work to build a bright and prosperous future.

A few are not sure whether Noem or Bovino lied the most describing the pistol whipping and execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents. But IMO that prize for the biggest liar goes to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino when he said protesters where calling his people gestapo while sporting a SS gestapo style hairdo and wearing a SS gestapo style over coat. 

Many of my MAGA redneck buddies here in KY are saying what they will do if ICE shows up at their horse farms and it isn't offering them donuts.

Trump stated to Fox News that while NATO allies sent troops to Afghanistan, "they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines," and claimed the US had "never needed them".

The fact is 457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. It's much more dangerous than Trump's "injecting disinfection into the blood stream" nonsense, the debunked "windmills kill whales" claim,  and the thousands of false and misleading he makes almost every time he speaks. 

Even many GOP Congress members are quietly talking about evoking the 25th Amendment.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes suggests residents could shoot unidentifiable masked ICE agents under state’s self-defense laws. ICE agents are breaking into homes without legal warrants violating Fourth Amendment Rights. And again, only a matter of time before U.S. Citizens open fire on ICE agents illegally breaking into their homes.

And it looks an execution. Unless ICE leaves, it's only a matter of time before a shootout happens with multiple deaths.
