ERIC DAUGHTERTY: 🚨 NOW: The true scope of the crowd for Charlie Kirk in Arizona — WOW. Original estimates of 100K bumped to up to *300,000.*

When have you ever seen a crowd this large truly peaceful, patient, and grateful?  

REBECCA MISTEREGGEN: Minnesota was once the beating heart of Norwegian America.

Minnesota was once the beating heart of Norwegian America. Waves of farmers and pastors settled there in the 19th century, building churches, schools and communities that made the state the most “Norwegian” in the entire United States. At one point, more than a third of its population had Norwegian blood in their veins, and the very name “Minnesota” became synonymous with Lutheran faith, hard work and perseverance. Today, Minneapolis is called “Little Mogadishu.” The state that once stood as a stronghold of Norwegian Christianity and work ethic is now best known for hosting America’s largest Somali and Muslim population. The contrast could not be more stark: from Norwegians who built the land, to clan structures and parallel societies imported from Africa. Minnesota has become a living illustration of what happens when demographics change radically: one culture and identity is erased and another takes its place, often with entirely different values.

CAPTAIN MERIWETHER LEWIS: . . . and the men were much rejoiced at the prospect of fat meat. The grease and marrow were eagerly consumed, and it did much to restore our spirits.

SAMA HOOLE: Elma Stuart's "What Must I Do to Get Well?" (1915) prescribed all-meat diets for chronic disease. Her protocol: Eat only meat for 6-12 months. Drink water exclusively. Eliminate all plant foods

ANDREW KAUFMAN, MD: Vietnam just deactivated 86 million bank accounts overnight. No warning, no grace period. Individuals who failed to submit biometric data were immediately denied access.

How do you pay your bill if your bank account was closed, and they won't let you open an account unless you've submitted your biometric identification?  

St33lMouse explains, 

I live in Vietnam. There was a few months warning. You had to go to the bank and get your biometrics taken. Essentially a photo. If you didn't do it, they locked your account.

It was unwelcome and annoying, but not difficult. I imagine those who didn't do it in time simply got their accounts locked until they came in and got it done.

This sort of thing makes me avoid depositing large amounts of money in Vietnamese banks. It's just self preservation.

All banks under all governments are one of the primary policy levers they have over people, and you should always be wary of banks no matter where you live.
