Thoughts and Prayers go out to those lost and still missing in the tragic Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster overnight in Baltimore… As of this writing, 2 of the 8 construction workers who were filling pot holes on the bridge at the time of the collapse have been rescued - one is in serious condition - the other miraculously survived unscathed. Six others are still unaccounted for. Officials say they don’t know how many passenger vehicles may have been on the bridge at the time… but thanks to the Cargo Ship sending out an SOS that they were in trouble, cars were stopped and “Lives were saved”. The FBI says no foul play is suspected at this time.

Last night… the Department of Homeland Security conducted an Armed Raid on the home of Hip Hop Star Sean Puffy “P Diddy” Combs. The raids are “in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation”… and took a really wild turn when Diddy boarded his private jet and reportedly took off for Antigua in the Bahamas. BUT… He was photographed at the Miami Airport and hasn’t been seen since…
- So… Did he flee the country? Did the feds arrest him?? It’s been hours and they’re not telling us DIDDY Squat!!!

A recent survey of 2,000 adults reveals that a whopping 67% of Americans feel guilty when dining out.
- 50% say they feel guilt about the amount of money their spending… and the other 50% feel guilty about counting “Deep Fried Green Beans” as a serving of “Vegetables”.

A new study confirms that Viagra cuts Alzheimer’s risk by over 50%.
- Thus the old expression… “You never forget your first time… or any time after that”.

Things didn’t go too well for an Olympic skier when he testified on Capitol Hill Friday about the impact of climate change on the recreation industry. The 23-year-old struggled with basic facts… like insisting that carbon dioxide is a 'huge part of our atmosphere', before Senator John Kennedy of LA pointed out that it accounts for just 0.04%. The clearly out of his league skier responded, “Well, okay. But, yeah. I don't know”.
- I felt bad for the kid. II haven’t seen anybody sit in front of Congress and make that little sense since last week when AOC tried to explain that “RICO isn’t a Crime”. (It is, btw… “The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act”)

The internet is abuzz with rumors that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce asked a popular LA gym to close down so they could work out all by themselves… leaving other gym members waiting outside for two hours yesterday.
- If the Gym was smart, they would have just sold tickets! I can see it now… “Taylor and Travis: The Treadmill Tour”.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Wednesday!
