Intermountain Health breaks ground on new St. George clinic

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Utah (ABC4) — Intermountain Health broke ground today, May 30, on a new primary care clinic in southern Washington County. The new facility will serve an immediate need for the growing St. George community.
On Friday morning, the organization held a groundbreaking ceremony for its newest facility, the Desert Color Parkway Clinic – Primary Care, which will bolster access to medical services for locals. The clinic is expected to open by the summer of 2026.
The new clinic is built on a 35-acre lot, which will 'provide space for a future medical campus to expand to include a freestanding emergency department after the opening of the Primary Clinic.'
Intermountain Health's new lot is located directly southeast of exit 2 on I-15. The project will be managed by Jacobsen Construction.
'This area has been growing immensely, and we are working to make healthcare as accessible as we can,' said Natalie Ashby, president of St. George Regional Hospital and the Southwest market for Intermountain Health.
The Desert Color development, a 'community seamlessly blend[ing] the serenity of outdoor living with luxurious residences and exclusive amenities,' their website states, is just one part of the population growth in St. George and surrounding cities.
The St. George area also features its own airport and an array of high-end golf courses.

Top Signs Someone Has Zero Work Experience

We all know at least one person who's never worked a day in their life. Even if they've never admitted this outright, it's pretty obvious once you get to know them – and it looks like I'm not the only one who thinks this. In one Reddit thread, people shared the telltale signs of someone who's never had a job, and it's wayyy too accurate. I've rounded up the 18 best responses from the thread, below: "They think you can drop work at any time to go on an adventure with them. Like, no dude, I need a heads up at LEAST two weeks in advance if you want me to do something with you during my work hours. And that's with me having a fairly lenient schedule. Some people need longer." "They think that they can start in a leadership position at any time." "They think a banana costs $10, which to them is cheap." –Maximum_Pound_5633 "They're quick to say that someone should be fired. They don't understand that there may be extenuating circumstances or an actual reason something is being done a certain way." "I fell to my knees crying at age 5 because my parents were divorcing. I fell to my knees crying when I was deployed and had to console an Afghan mother after her son was killed by a taliban rocket." "They think 'just quit' is realistic advice for every job problem. Real workers know rent doesn't care about your feelings." "They have never gone grocery shopping, paid bills themselves, driven themselves, etc.... Maybe Daddy's money would let them become president." –OneTrueHutch "They think lower classes are just lazy." "They don't take accountability for their actions or situation. Everything is everyone else's fault." "They are chronically really late to everything. Not just regularly 10-15 minutes late, but you can count on them to be regularly an hour or two late." "They don't have an alarm clock." –LowSprinkles3226 "They act shocked when you're tired after an 8-hour shift, treat weekends like a myth, and think 'just ask for a raise' is realistic advice." "They have unrealistic expectations: they think they're above certain jobs or that success should come quickly and easily." "They have a sense of entitlement and superiority. They refer to anyone who is in any type of service job or healthcare workers as 'the help.' They don't have much exposure to adversity, and think naively about the world." "Based on the customer I've been doing landscaping for, they're indecisive. Nothing screams 'daddy's money' like having a $200,000 landscaping job done before deciding it didn't look right and having it redone. Honest wealth measures twice and cuts once." –Ndsamu "Everything is taken for granted. The car is acting weird? Just buy a new one. The appliance bill is high? Just get your house remodeled with more insulation and such." "They consistently can't get along with other people." "They don't understand the difference between having good choices and making good choices. Like, they're born on 3rd base and think they hit a home run based solely on their own efforts." Do you have any observations that belong on this list? Let me know in the comments!

Stephen Miller's wife ordered Social Security workers to cover up a lie from her new boss Elon Musk: report

The wife of one of President Donald Trump's closest and most trusted advisers, Stephen Miller, served in the White House for only a brief time, but in that period used her position to pressure the Social Security Administration to lie on behalf of the White House and its then-special government employee, Elon Musk, according to a new report. Katie Miller allegedly instructed the head of the SSA to tell reporters that 40 percent of all calls placed to SSA phone lines were linked to fraudulent Social Security claims — a number the president and Musk plucked out of thin air as the White House and Musk's DOGE effort set about making cuts to a wide range of federal agencies this year, the New York Times reported. 'The number is 40 percent,' Katie Miller reportedly told the acting SSA Administrator Leland Dudek in an April 1 call, the Times reported. 'Do not contradict the president.' 'Mr. Musk's team mobilized dozens of Social Security employees to affirm their views about fraud and began a project to ensure dead people were properly classified so they weren't mistakenly paid — even though DOGE officials acknowledged in an internal memo that payments were not being made in those cases,' the Times wrote. While Miller left the government in late May alongside Musk, the new head of the SSA refuted that figure directly in a statement to the Times. 'We're going to be a fact-based, rule-based organization that can count,' said Frank Bisignano, who joined the agency as commissioner in early May. Bisignano's predecessor, Dudek, did not back up Musk's claims either. According to the Times, the DOGE cuts at SSA — driven by Musk's fixation on Social Security as a major source of waste and fraud — were badly mismanaged and resulted in many newly open basic customer service roles being replaced by 'specialized professionals like lawyers, human resources staff and technologists' who are paid higher rates than colleagues who exited those roles or retired after being offered buyouts earlier this year. A staffing shortfall at the agency is now compounded by a growing backlog of Social Security claims. Miller followed Musk out the door and now works with him on his various business ventures, despite a massive, public blowup between the Tesla chief and Trump earlier this month. In now-deleted posts, Musk alleged that Trump, for whom her husband retains fervent loyalty, was linked to the deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and further claimed that Trump was responsible, through his own alleged inclusion in them, for the Epstein flight logs and other files being hidden from the public. Katie's fence-sitting between the two was the subject of its own CNN profile earlier this month. Dudek, who led the agency when Katie Miller ordered it to parrot the White House line, is apparently out of a job after his time as acting commissioner came to an end. In a statement, he fought back against criticism that he was unqualified — a claim stemming from the fact that he got the job after being placed on leave from his mid-level position at the SSA for going beyond the scope of his duties to help the fledgling DOGE effort make headway at the agency. That punishment prompted him to pen a LinkedIn post 'confessing' his efforts to help DOGE. 'I confess. I helped DOGE understand SSA. I mailed myself publically accessible documents and explained them DOGE,' he wrote in a February LinkedIn post first reported by CNN. 'I confess. I moved contractor money around to add data science resources to my anti-fraud team to examine Direct Deposit Fraud.' 'I confess. I bullied agency executives, shared executive contact information, and circumvented the chain of command to connect DOGE with the people who get stuff done,' he added at the time. That post caught the eye of Musk, who at the time still enjoyed a close relationship with Trump. In a tweet, the former DOGE-er-in-chief said that Dudek 'was brought back right away [by Trump] and now HE is upper management.' Upon his departure, Dudek thanked the president for his time at the agency. But privately, according to the Times, he has expressed 'deep misgivings about the effect of DOGE's oversight,' to his confidantes. 'Thank you President Trump for the opportunity to serve. Thank you DOGE team for your trust. Thank you SSA for all you do,' wrote Dudek in May. Bisignano, after taking over the agency, assured agency staffers that he was not planning the same kind of large-scale layoff policies that DOGE was pledging earlier this year at many federal agencies, some of which had to rehire workes who were sent home. 'I have no intent to RIF people,' he said during a 90-minute address to agency managers last month, according to the Federal News Network. But in his statement to the Times, Bisignano made clear that he knows how to play by the Trump White House's expectations, as he pushed back against the assertion that DOGE had messed up by claiming 40 percent of all Social Security help line callers to be linked to fraudulent claims. 'The work that DOGE did was 100 percent accurate,' he insisted.

Katie Miller's Washington Rise Takes a Musk Detour

It was the three-word gavel-bang heard across Washington — the conversation-ender meant to cow colleagues and cabinet secretaries, deployed daily by a slight woman with a big job: 'Elon wants this.' For months, Katie Miller, the all-purpose operative for the world's richest man, had been entrusted to help execute Elon Musk's merry rampage through the federal government, conveying his priorities, his vision, his likes and dislikes with the tacit force of an executive order. When she spoke, Ms. Miller implied to Trump acolytes high and low, they should proceed as if it were Mr. Musk's mouth moving. Where he walked, Ms. Miller invariably followed, sometimes trailing him straight into Oval Office meetings — and occasionally finding herself gently redirected back out of the room by White House staff, an administration official recalled. Mr. Musk even held court regularly off the clock at the home Ms. Miller shares with Stephen Miller, President Trump's most powerful policy aide, and their three young children, according to people familiar with the matter. Now, Mr. Musk is gone — or out of Washington, anyway — in a spectacular, market-moving, mutually vicious fireball of a breakup with Mr. Trump. And life in the home of Katie and Stephen Miller has gotten complicated. Mr. Miller is the millennial avatar of all that MAGA loves and liberals loathe about the Trump agenda. His loyalty to the president is unquestioned. Ms. Miller, a 33-year-old veteran of the first Trump administration, is a top lieutenant for Mr. Trump's friend-turned-enemy-turned-who-knows-what-now. How and whether the present arrangement can be sustained is uncertain — and widely buzzed about in Washington, especially among the many Trump allies who do not entirely miss her.
