Hello, Rusty!

How are you feeling today?

Is the pain from your cracked rib getting better?

Praying for you, dear.

RON, you knocked on every door in IOWA. Iowans did not like you. Get a grip.

Ron DeSantis Says 1 Thing Is To Blame For His Humiliating Campaign Defeat Spoiler: It's not Ron DeSantis.

EXCERPT:

In his first interview since dropping out of the presidential race, DeSantis told Blaze TV’s Steve Deace that the blame is on Iowa caucusgoers who rallied behind front-runner Donald Trump even though many didn’t like him.

“They did not want to see Trump nominated again, but they had basically been told that it was inevitable, that it was over,” DeSantis told Deace on Tuesday. DeSantis, who lost to Trump in the Iowa caucuses earlier this month, added that those voters were “checked out” and had “just totally dropped out of the process.”

The Florida governor told Deace he’d consider running again “if we have a country left in 2028.”

Wait a minute….what’s this about a cracked rib??

I hadn’t heard about this.

I hope you’re on a quick mend.

It’s almost swimsuit season, you know 😍🏊‍♀️👙

Thanks for the prayers. The rib is better now that it’s wrapped up in the right place. My neck itself is good but my muscles get riled up after months of wearing a neck brace and not being used. The worst part with all this is stress from not being able to do a whole lot.
