Trump: I had a perfect cognitive test
SUMMARY: Former President Trump announced he took a successful cognitive test, claiming he achieved a perfect score. He noted positive results from his recent physical examination and expressed pride in the country’s economic growth, emphasizing that the U.S. has become much richer. Trump criticized past administration policies for allowing unchecked immigration and inflation, asserting that such issues must be remembered. He pledged to implement tariffs on various imports, including semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, aiming to bolster domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign nations, particularly China, for essential goods. Overall, he conveyed a forward-looking vision for America’s future.
President Trump spoke briefly with reporters as he boarded Air Force One over the weekend.
Trump said his physical and cognitive tests went extremely well.
“So I think most of you have seen they released my physical physical on Friday, and I understand it was a very good report, and that was very perfect. And I took a cognitive exam, and I would challenge anybody here to beat those marks, because I have a perfect mark. Were you impressed by that?”
On markets seeing ambiguity with tariff back and forths.
“Oh they’re shouldn’t be ambiguity. We have a tremendous country. We have a country that’s much richer today than it was a few months ago. We have a financial system that’s very respected, and we’re going to do great. And we were taken advantage of and ripped off by every country all over the world, almost just about they laughed at us. We were run by foolish people, and they took advantage of our country, and we’re just not going to let that happen anymore.”

A crowd saw a man get shot. Decades later, nobody claims to know who did it
SUMMARY: A true crime podcast, *Morbid*, revisits the unsolved 1981 killing of Ken McElroy in Skidmore, Missouri. Known as “the town bully,” McElroy was accused of numerous crimes but avoided conviction through intimidation. On July 10, 1981, he was shot in broad daylight in front of around 50 people, yet no one came forward. The community, fed up with his reign of terror, allegedly took justice into their own hands. Despite FBI involvement, the case closed without indictments. Over 40 years later, with many witnesses deceased, the murder remains unsolved, and locals continue to keep the secret.

Joe’s Blog: 90s coming with some nasty storms (6/16)
SUMMARY: Kansas City has yet to hit 90°F this year, though summer’s heat and humidity are building. A very moist atmosphere will fuel possible storms Tuesday into Wednesday, with flooding downpours the main concern. Models show varying rainfall totals and locations, with uncertainty about where storms will hit hardest. Severe storms are more likely late Tuesday night into early Wednesday, but flooding poses the greatest risk due to moisture-rich conditions and possible training storms. There’s also a chance for strong “wake low” winds Tuesday. The first 90° day could arrive later this week or weekend as the pattern shifts.
