SOMEONE CHECK ON JARED POLIS Because he appeared on Fox News to absolutely gaslight every Coloradan who knows crime has gone UP dramatically and is still well above any levels during the Trump administration. He is so hellbent on shilling for the Harris campaign. I'm going to play this for you today just so you can hear how blatantly he lies in this interview. He's a lying liar who lies and when Cavuto calls him out for not taking responsibility for his own state. If there were any doubt he's running for President his slavish devotion to pretending to get Kamala Harris elected should put those to rest. He's showing himself to be the typical slimy lying politician as never before these days.
WHEN MEN PLAY WOMEN'S SPORTS BAD THINGS HAPPEN Hooboy you have to read this article about the San Jose State University Assistant Coach Melissa Batie-Smoose who filed a complaint with the NCAA about the preferential treatment the male star of the women's volleyball team gets. From the Quillette article about it:
On 29 October, Batie-Smoose filed a 33-page sworn declaration with officials at SJSU, the Mountain West Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), exhorting these bodies to investigate (1) the overt favouritism that she believes her school has shown to Fleming, at the expense of Fleming’s 18 female teammates; and (2) the unsettling measures that SJSU officials have allegedly taken in order to suppress expressions of concern from these affected women.
There are accusations made by the coach, including an accusation that Fleming shared team strategies with an opposing team so their best attacker could purposely target another player named Brooke Slusser who has raised concerns about Blaire Fleming playing. It shows a culture of fear induced by the woman who oversees the volleyball program and a cowardly coach who knows racking up wins with a male player is good for his job security. It's horrible. This goes well beyond taking a scholarship from a woman into intimidation and disparate treatment of one player who is a man. Absolutely awful. The coach who filed the complaint has been suspended, of course.
A TITLE IX COMPLAINT I DON'T BELIEVE Because this one was filed by a trans student who alleges that during a panel discussion on whether or not men who identify as women should be allowed to play in women's sports one of the moderators "pointed aggressively" at her and called her a man. This could have devestating impacts on the man in questions as he could be expelled a semester and half before graduation and frankly, after reading the account above, I am suspect of allegations made by the trans students. They lie and cheat, as we see above. Read the story here, it truly is nuts.

THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE BEAR YEAR AS more bear conflicts and sightings have been reported this year than the average, and most of those involve bear sightings as they look for food to fatten up for the winter. I've been in my neighborhood for a little over eleven years and this is the first year we've seen a bear. Read here for how to keep bears from becoming nuisance bears which means they will be killed. Bears can only be relocated and tagged once, if they pop up in someone's garbage again, they will be destroyed.
TWO GANG MEMBERS ARRESTED IN AURORA And I bet you don't even need me to tell you that it was Tren de Aragua, amiright? Two men who are believed to be gang members were arrested on charges they murdered a man in Texas. What were they doing in Aurora if everything is fine as the Governor said above? Vacationing?

SNL BROKE THE LAW BUT WON'T PAY THE PRICE Kamala Harris appeared on Saturday Night Live this weekend, a clear violation of election law that allows candidates to ask for equal time if their opponent gets free air time. This, after Lorne Michaels previously said neither candidate would appear BECAUSE of those laws. NBC eventually "gave" Trump airtime during a NASCAR race but it certainly wasn't the same as giving a fawning segment on SNL. They do it because they will get away with it because no one will stop them. Read about it here.
YEP, TRUMP SAID SOMEONE SHOULD SHOOT THE FAKE NEWS And I'm not going to say this is okay, because it's clearly not, but I will say I get why he said it. Check out this roundup from last week's news cycle:
s
The media is working double time to tell you constantly what a horrible person Donald Trump is. They are relentless and Trump knows it which is why he makes dumbass statements like the one he made about shooting through the press to shoot him. I guess I give the guy some grace because he's been targeted by maniacs twice, but this rhetoric does nothing to help him win. And of course, the news will amplify this even as they worked double time to memory hole the assassination attempt that almost took Trump's life. But I'm sure it's fine. Everything if fine. Greg Gutfeld laid things out here.

“With a rent increase and no security to get us through the summer, it was time to move on,”
Someone tell Jared Polis that crime is a problem.
YOUNG PEOPLE CAN'T BUY HOMES And that drove the average age of homebuyers up to age 56, which is seven years higher than just a year ago. I think this has more to do with interest rates and people that age not being as sensitive to them as they buy up or downsize. We'll see what happens when interest rates drop again this month and next, but do we need a "market correction" on prices? Super artificially low rates drove up home prices as people could pay more for less. I sure hope not but that may be what it takes. I think a lot of young people have decided they can't buy a house without even checking to see what that looks like or by buying a townhome or condo to get started. That's a shame because there are deals out there, but they aren't on single family homes in the best neighborhoods. Manage your expectations and see what might happen.
RIP P'NUT In what may be the weirdest story to rise up in an election New York State's execution of a man's pet squirrel has turned into craziness on the internet. Check out these memes:
If there were ever a better example of heartless government overreach I'm not sure I know it. This is what you get when you vote for Big Government. Just saying. RIP P'Nut and Fred. You deserved better.
