IT'S AN ASK ME ANYTHING KIND OF DAY So get your idiotic and poignant questions ready!
THE RENDEZVOUS IS THIS WEEKEND AT THE FORT And I've got one of my favorite people Holly Kinney on at 12:30 to talk about this super cool event that brings Native Americans together to show what life might have been like in the old Bent's Fort Days. From the website:
A day at the Rendezvous at The Fort is a day in the early West, offering engaging and immersive fun for the whole family. Historic interpreters will show guests day-to-day skills from the 1840s, such as sign language, wool processing, domestic arts, black powder shooting competition, and more. Additional activities include a Scavenger Hunt, informative lectures, raptors, mammals, and reptiles provided by Nature’s Educators, storytelling by Angel Vigil, music of the period by Rex Rideout, The American Indian powwow and dance demonstrations by the Denver Singers, and artwork by Spanish colonial artists using traditional methods. Concessions will be provided onsite by The Fort Restaurant.

WHAT'S IT LIKE RACING CARS? I've got Paul Himler, one of the drivers who speed the raceway on Saturday night in to share a bit about that at 2:30.
THE JEFFCO PTA HAS BEEN HIGHJACKED BY LEFTIST DEMOCRATS And Jimmy Sengenberger writes about it in this column. It's not surprising because the people most invested in keeping our schools under union control are the ones who have the time to join the PTA. Conservative parents need to start showing up at ALL of these meetings, especially at the elementary and middle school level and start pushing back. The left wing infrastructure is SO STRONG in Colorado and the only way to make inroads is to just show up and nicely and kindly push back. That is not happening. JeffCo's PTA, along with their entire board and administrative structure, has been completely taken over by left wing union activists. That's where we need to start.
STATE GOVERNMENT IS NOT OUT OF MONEY No matter what you might read in this article from the Denver Gazette. State spending has EXPLODED in recent years, so don't fall for the "oh my Medicaid was way more expensive than we thought" crap. The budget for this year is over 40 BILLION. It was 19.5 billion in 2010. It was 36.5 billion in 2020. They have ENOUGH of our money. They are gearing up to ask for a tax increase, just you wait.
IS THE BLUE BOOK TOO BLUE THIS YEAR? We spoke with some folks last week about the fiscal impact the new abortion amendment would have because it would use state tax dollars to pay for abortion and how the Blue Book, the guide put out allegedly in a non-partisan way, misleads voters about that impact. This column wonders if the Blue Book is a bit too blue this year.
ARE WE REALLY EXHAUSTED FROM POLITICS? That's the assertion made in this story and I think there is some truth to that. I know I am. That being said, what turns the temperature down? Both parties have realized that harsh and scary rhetoric is what moves people to vote, as fear is a far more powerful motivator than joy. Read more here.
MAYOR MIKE COFFMAN WELCOMES A TRUMP VISIT Because he rightly recognizes it as a chance to set the record straight about what is and isn't happening in Aurora. Left wing members of the City Council disagree but the Mayor is right, he can use the visit to shine up Aurora on the national stage and set the record straight. I hope Trump does come. The Mayor did say he welcomed a visit from Trump but hasn't heard from the campaign.
TRUMP IS ALL IN FOR JEFF CRANK And this really has to stick in the craw of fake GOP Chairman Dave Williams, who planned to use a Trump endorsement to sail through the primaries. It didn't work, and now Trump has endorsed the man who beat him handily. Heh.
KAMALA SAT DOWN WITH OPRAH And she was asked about what she would do to make life more affordable and whipped out the word salad once more.
HEZBOLLAH AND ISRAEL CONTINUE MIXING IT UP As Israel launched counterattacks in Beirut and killed 3, while Hezbollah fired over a hundred rockets into southern Israel. Israel hit the same neighborhood they've hit before, which is considered a Hezbollah stronghold. Israel hit them there in August, killing a top commander and some Iranian officers. According to Lebanese media Israel's attack killed Senior Hezbollah Commander Ibrahim Aqil. Israel continues to send messages that no leader is safe anywhere. All of these attacks have Hezbollah searching for moles and trying to figure out how to communicate. I'm fine with that.
MORE PROOF DAVE WILLIAMS SUCKED AS CHAIRMAN Can be found in this article about how many State Senate and House races are happening without a Republican candidate. That is shameful. If you are one of the Republicans supporting Williams I need to know WHY. What has he done to earn your support for this position?
MATT GAETZ WAS AT A SEX PARTY WITH 17 YEAR OLDS If you are to believe under oath affidavits about the subject. I think Matt Gaetz is skeevy.

WHEN GOOD GENDER REASSIGNMENT STUDIES ARE SPIKED BY POLITICS That is exactly what happened with the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services did a deep dive on available high quality science on gender reassignment to decide whether or not to cover such procedures. The large study was encapsulated by two memos. The first, paying attention to what the studies actually showed, included this line:
“The results were inconsistent, but negative in the best studies, i.e., those that reduced confounding by testing patients prior to and after surgery and which used psychometric tests with some established validation in other large populations”
That line, and others about high quality studies that showed AFTER gender affirming care that trans people were 19.1 times more likely to commit suicide, was scrapped in the final memo. Why? Politics. Read it here.
LIONS HEAD COACH FORCED TO MOVE And stuff like this makes me so mad. The head coach of the Lions had to sell his home and move after his home address was leaded online. This lead to harassment from fans after a tough Lions loss. What jerks.
CAN YOU WRITE A SIX WORD MYSTERY? I LOVE stuff like this contest from the Colorado Sun where you have to write a mystery in six words. Last years winner?

NANCY PELOSI LIES HER ASS OFF And I'm sure no one at the National Association of Black Journalists will fact check her on this though we all know this is 100% A BIG FAT WHOPPING LIE.

ABOUT SELF SERVICE KIOSKS KILLING JOBS So far that hasn't panned out because fast food joints are just able to reassign those order takers to other jobs that needed to be fulfilled, like taking care of the dining room and making and delivering orders. One unexpected upside? People are ordering more food because the computer NEVER forgets to ask if you want fries with that.
MILK AND MEAT MAY PREVENT TUMORS And I've never been happier about a medical study than this. A new study on mice prone to small intestine tumors showed that certain antigens found in milk and meat actually seem to prevent the growth of tumors in those mice. Read it here.
WOMEN ARE TIRED OF TOTIN' THEIR BIG BOOBS AROUND I realize that for many men this story will be blasphemy but I get it. One of the fastest growing segments of plastic surgery is breast reduction surgery. And women in prior years wanted to go down from massive to a C cup, now they are asking for B cups instead. The era of giant fake boobs seems to be fading. As one that was blessed than more than my fair share I'd be lying if I said I haven't looked into this surgery myself. I think one of the reasons there is an uptick is because we are all fatter now, and breasts get bigger the fatter you are.
