eal or is that just a hoax? Because that might be one of the hoax bubbles that the conservatives are in. I don't know. I'm not going to automatically believe the brother Somali brother part.

But it is very dismissive to talk about her little turban. I don't know why that makes me laugh. Her little turban. Why is it funnier when he calls it little? Does that make you think her brain is little or something with her little turban?

Anyway, so now there's a new bombshell from Alpha News. I saw Eric Dhy writing about this on X. That apparently Ramsey County gave 38.4 million to 213 NGOs. Now kind of depends where the money came from, how you feel about that, but apparently the proposed budget for next year, the proposed budget for next year, let me say that in English, is that apparently they're being told that their property tax money will go to NGOs.

Do you think that your property tax money should ever go to an NGO, especially 213 of them? And when you hear that there are 213 NGOs, does your brain go, "Oh, there must be 213 worthy things for funding, do you?" Or do you automatically say, "Wow, the fact that there are 213 NGOs pretty much guarantees that something suspicious is happening." Yeah, something suspicious is happening.

And apparently the state is not auditing these NGOs receiving the money. Oh, surprise surprise. So a huge amount of your tax money, at least if you were in this state, your Minnesota tax money will go to these 213 hard to understand, impossible to audit entities. You know what that is, right? That couldn't be more obviously corrupt. It couldn't be. That's as corrupt as you can make something look.

Wow. I wish Minnesota well, but I don't know how you're going to unwind all of that once it gets to the point where the criminals clearly have more control than the honest people, and we're definitely there in Minnesota. How do you ever fix it? Because even if you got rid of the people there, they would be replaced with other criminals because the criminal thing is totally working out. It's totally working out. Why would you change it?

So you believe she married her brother? Why would you believe that Omar married her brother? If you believe it because you saw a story in the news, is that credible? I'm going to say no. Might be true, but it's not credible just because it was in the news. Yeah.

Anyway, Trump is funny when he talks about her. You know, there was a time when I would have agreed with even Trump's critics who said, you know, you really just shouldn't talk about people like that. It just gives them something to complain about and then it makes all of your supporters look like we're just as bad. But I'm completely over that. I'm totally over it. If he wants to talk that way, fine. If people don't want to vote for him, fine. They have the option. But I do like him being funny. That part I'm unambiguously in favor of. Be funny.

Well, economist Stephen Moore, Republican type, I think he's Republican, maybe he's independent, but he points out that an MRI can cost $600 at one hospital. In other words, the cost of getting an MRI could be $600 at one hospital, but $6,000 at another. And if you're the patient, you wouldn't know which one you went to.

Now I've had some MRIs, a number of MRIs this year, a few of them, and nobody ever told me what they cost because my insurance covered it. Do you think that if something is wildly different prices, wildly different, and the numbers are pretty big, do you think that lack of transparency is going to create a bunch of fraud? Of course it will. 100% chance if you have wildly different pricing and you don't have any transparency and it doesn't look like there's any auditing at least any important auditing and you as the customer don't get to choose the MRI you're using most of the time of course it's corrupt of course the entire thing is a mess. So Stephen Moore, you are correct about that.

And Stephen Moore suggests that the fix would be that if the patients are not told in advance what the cost of the MRI is that the provider doesn't get paid. Well, good luck with that. I me
