Just as my favorite part of the Super Bowl did not involve football, my favorite Super Bowl ad was just a Super Bowl “season” ad, because Frontier Air still didn’t want to fly too close to the sun. It features John Leonard, who unsuccessfully tried to redeem Pepsi points for a Harrier Jump Jet. Now, he seems happy just to fly coach.

"Hospitals and insurers regularly renegotiate rates, but those discussions are usually handled behind closed doors and are typically resolved before patients feel an impact.
But in recent years, many negotiations have become more fraught, often spilling out into public view as both sides put out statements defending their position. When that happens, it’s usually a bad sign for patients."

In an interview with POLITICO’s E&E News, Le added that “a lot of small businesses had their contracts cut during that mid 2025 time frame that DOGE was very active.”
“The administration has also pushed consolidation of contracts,” Le added. “They’re taking smaller contracts and turning them into one larger contract. Often those are so large that small businesses can’t adequately compete.”

JPMorgan Chase is now facing a $5 billion lawsuit for “debanking” a person who was the subject of two federal criminal investigations, two state prosecutions, and civil suits targeting him, his businesses, and his charity. The civil charges included bank fraud. Gosh, the only explanation must be woke politics.

Who re-negotiates a $2.6 million loan without getting the terms in a signed writing? What court thinks that a contract that, by statute, has to be in writing to be enforceable doesn’t have to be in writing if it can be performed within a year? Florida.

Who gave Epstein 'permission to kill'?
Massive '#Olga' clue deepens mystery; 'these are the names we need to see'
Several documents related to JeffreyEpstein were released by the Justice Department on Friday and one stood out as the person gave him ‘permission to kill’.
By Shuvrajit Das Biswas, Feb 01, 2026 3:55 AM IST
" 'I give you permission to kill him. He is apparently with [name redacted]. He lied to you and he lied to me,' an email to Epstein reads. While the name has been redacted here by the DOJ, a subsequent document which contains Epstein's reply to this mail and a follow-up, reveals that the redacted name is ‘Olga’."
