ZaZa in Museum district or Marriott Marquis downtown. Hilton Americas is nice too.

One of my favorite things about watching pro golf is that occasionally even the best players have a moment that feels all too familiar.

I have a sneaky suspicion that may be what we may be dealing with. It’s been a hell of a ride up, but I think this is a cool off year. Could be completely wrong … obviously. I think the general market goes sideways this year.

The only positive I have on my board today is my wife’s company. She works in insurance. They have been up substantially over the past couple years, but also seem to have strong days when the general market declines.

Important takeaways? Yes, the poor folks are making more babies (under $48,000 ~ 57%) , but not exceedingly so. It’s a pretty even distribution with the top income making the most babies and the poorest the second most.

I don’t think that chart says what you think it does.

According to the breakdown, around 60% of the people having babies are making less than $57,000 a year. Around 40% of making less than $28,000 a year.

In 2026 America, those numbers mean you are poor.

Donald Trump has been unfaithful to every wife he has ever had. I don’t feel like he has much credibility on marriage.

So last year 1 1/4 of a person was murdered?

I’m guessing you weren’t a statistics major in school.

If you have 1 of something and that is 80% less than last year, then you take 1 and divide it by .2

This can’t be true.

If there was one murder this year and that’s down 80% from last year, then that was suggested they had five murders in January 2025.

That was one of the darkest episodes of TV I’ve ever watched. I had to throw on an old episode of Parks and rec before I went to bed.

Over/under on bans?

The bad news is they are mostly blue voters from other states.

I don’t think this is universally true. I moved to the Florida panhandle during Covid, and so did the majority of the people that I’ve gotten to know since that time.

We came from all over. Texas, California, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, etc.. We’ve got people from Philly. The couple next-door to me retired from NYC.

I would tell you the vast majority of these people are not liberal in any sense. They may not be as right wing as your traditional southern voters, but they’re not blue voters either.

My buddy who grew up in Orange County, CA - in addition to being the best golfer I’ve ever been friends with- may actually be the most right wing guy that I know. My boy Freddie from Philly seems to have very much adopted southern culture. His daughter is now going to Alabama, and he likes to hunt.

I think a lot of these people are escaping situations and leaving the blue voters behind.

From a voter proportion standpoint, this is going to massively benefit the south on the national landscape. Governor, Senate, and presidential elections will still go red, and these states will have significantly more weight, and soon be more important than their northern counter reports.

She absolute trash but she'd give you the most fun night of your life... That's for sure.

She is legitimately gross. If I had sex with her, I would really question a lot of things about my life.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with some of you guys. You would frick her? If you saw that woman walking down the street would you say “I want to frick her”?

Why? Because she’s an athlete? I don’t wanna frick a woman with paste on hair, 3 inch eyelashes and gross 8 inch fingernails. She looks ridiculous.

I also don’t want to frick a 200 pound Olympic shot putter just because she’s an athletic specimen.

I guess to each his own.
