CONGRESS IS TRYING TO TAKE YOUR VACATION MILES With new changes to credit card processing rules. I am not happy about this AT ALL and I'll be chatting with Taxpayer Protection Alliance Executive Director Patrick Hedger about what this means and how to possibly stop it.
THE FAR LEFT OF THE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE HAS ITS FEELINGS HURT The old saying "politics ain't bean bag" is one the far left of the Democrat party in the Legislature needs to study. They are whining about their crazy ass bills being slow walked and about Rep. Brandi Bradley being mean to them. No, I'm not kidding, read it here. They already met with leadership about it and complained about people being mean to them on Twitter (although they can just ignore someone on Twitter and yet they choose to respond on Twitter) and Leslie Herod feels like she is "still being harmed" somehow. Note that ALL of this whining is coming from women. Not a man in this article. Sorry folks, this is what you signed up for. Sorry it hurts your feelings when you don't get your way. Sorry not sorry.
HOW TO SOLVE THE TIVOLI QUAD ENCAMPMENT ISSUE Now these idiot students are vowing to disrupt graduation ceremonies if their dumbass "demands" aren't met and they also vow to stay camped out in Tivoli Quad. I have an easy solution to this problem. Go to the largest homeless camp in Denver and tell them the cops are refusing to clear this camp and they should move there. That should do it. That's essentially what happened to the Occupy movement and it worked like a charm. Mike Rosen writes here about how the protesters have no standing to negotiate. He's right.
BOOK YOUR TIME AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK As the reservations system is up and running. Though I hate the inconvenience of not just being able to go for the day, if this keeps RMNP from being completely overrun with aholes I'm for it. Read more here.
ABORTION WILL BE ON THE BALLOT ACROSS THE COUNTRY This November and so far, wherever abortion has appeared on the ballot the pro-choice crowd has won handily. Many states are considering ballot initiatives that would allow abortion up until a certain point, in some cases "viability" and to the moment of birth for others. Read about them here, but pro-life people are about to get their butts handed to them on a platter. I'm hoping this will signal a change in effort by pro-lifers who will be forced to recognize that Americans want abortion available. I'd like to see them work to tamp down demand.
I DON'T LOVE THE PROPERTY TAX COMPROMISE And I'm working on getting someone who is opposed to it on the show now. Not that it will matter much, but I'm going to try anyway. This editorial explains why this is a rotten deal for homeowners and renters.
TWO BALLOT MEASURES ARE TRYING TO REIN IN THE LEGISLATURE And it's telling that Democrats are suing to keep them off the balance. One would add "fees" to TABOR to prevent the shady money grabbers under the Gold Dome from calling something a fee instead of the tax that it is. Read about them here.
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT STORY ABOUT STEP DENVER And I'd love for you to click here and watch it.
MIGRANTS HAVE SENT DEMANDS TO THE MAYOR And OH MY GOD these people have stones the size of cantaloupes. Let me review this for you. A group of people who came into this country illegally and with no means of supporting themselves have issued a list of thirteen demands to the mayor before they will agree to come inside to a shelter where workers will help them AT NO COST begin the process to get work authorizations and probably free housing and free food. I don't even know what to say. This is what being a "Welcoming city" as Mayor Mike likes to say gets you. You've got to be kidding me.
JACK SMITH'S TEAM APPEAR TO HAVE MISHANDLED IMPORTANT EVIDENCE In the classified documents case against Donald Trump. This is a long story with the details, but the defense sent a notice to the judge that the evidence boxes they were given were NOT in the order that they were supposed to be, calling into question exactly who handled that evidence and what they did to it or with it. This is a big deal. Is it a big enough deal to end the case? No clue, but it does go a long way to fuel a defense argument that this is a witch hunt by an overzealous and corrupt FBI, as they've also been caught lying to the judge about the condition of those evidence boxes. The classified documents case has been "indefinitely" postponed by the judge, by the way.
NO ONE NEEDED TO HEAR THOSE DETAILS I've not talked much about Trump's trial because I honestly don't care much about this but yesterday porn star Stormy Daniels took the stand to give all the details of their "brief" sexual encounter. Yuck. The judge didn't do enough to stop her from going into detail but no one really ever expected this judge to do that. It was embarrassing for Trump and I'm wondering if the Trump supporters who still don't believe he slept with Daniels will now admit he did? Why would she perjure herself if she didn't? I don't expect to see Trump on the stand for a variety of reasons, the most of which he would have to lie under oath about that encounter.
TRUMP IS WORKING TO SAVE MIKE JOHNSON As Speaker of the House by trying to rein in Marjorie Taylor Greene. This will be upsetting to the RINO Watch Republicans who think Johnson isn't Republicany enough.
TIMELINE CLEANSER YOU NEED TODAY This little boy met someone with the same disability he has and OMG it's so sweet.
BUT WILL DISNEY LISTEN? A new Rasmussen poll asked if respondents agreed or disagreed with the following statement: “Disney should return to wholesome programming and allow parents to decide when their children are taught about sexuality,” and hooboy it wasn't even close. 71% said yes, while only 22% of people who I can only guess don't have children disagreed. With Disney's stock at record lows they probably should pay attention but I think they are so ideologically captured by the staff that works for them they may not. It's a shame, really.
WHY IS THIS WOMAN ENGAGING WITH A BEAR CUB? That's all I can think. Where is Mama Bear? She's in the next video where this woman gets her arm ripped off.
THIS IS WHY LAUREN BOEBERT DOESN'T CARE WHO IS IN CHARGE Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is a total liar but Lauren Boebert doesn't care if he's in charge.
DEMOCRATS PROTECT PORN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS And you should see what happened when a Republican stood up to read from one of the books Democrats are hell bent on making sure children can access it even if it is too spicy for the Colorado Legislature.
WHEN RUSSIAN SANCTIONS DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD I've often wondered about our strategy when it comes to Russian oil and this Doomberg column answers my questions about whether or not sanctions are hurting Russia at all. The answer is no. This column also makes the case for Biden to unleash the American oil and gas industry to flood the market with oil and gas which would crush prices and crush the Russian war effort. It's correct.
HOW TO HAVE A GOOD CONVERSATION This is so needed as so many kids have no clue how to have a conversation.
TWO MINUTE DRILL!
BEWARE OF DEALS THAT SEEM TOO GOOD As there is a Chinese syndicate who is very web savvy and is stealing money from tons of people by offering great "deals" on allegedly designer goods. Read about it here.
AURORA IS COMING FOR YOUR EXPIRED TAGS And it's about time. Read what they are looking for here and if you don't have a current tag on your car, stay out of Aurora.
BOY SCOUTING IS REBRANDING Because I guess "Boy" has been identified as too toxic by people who would never put their kids in Scouts in the first place. They are now "Scouting America" which sounds like a shady modeling agency.
AMERICANS DITCHED BIG CITIES FOR SMALLER ONES At a very quick pace last year. The exodus from big cities that began during Covid has shown few signs of letting up. This is bad news for big cities in a doom loop but good news for smaller cities who are getting in influx of well paid remote workers with money to spend.
EVEN AS 38% OF AMERICANS FEEL UNINSPIRED AT WORK And often find their productivity lagging because of it. This article says companies need to emphasize physical activity to help people get motivated but I'm not sure that's enough. What do you think?
