WILL WE HAVE A WHITE CHRISTMAS? Dave Fraser from Fox 31 will pop on today at 12:30 to answer your weather questions and tell us if there is any chance for a white Christmas this year.
IT'S TIME FOR THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CAROL DISCUSSION Because I love Christmas carols but every year I find a new one that had escaped me and this year it is this one (thanks to Jimmy Sengenberger, of course):
What are your favorites? What can you just NOT hear again? Let's do this.
FRONTIER IS OFFERING THEIR ALL YOU CAN FLY TICKET AGAIN And my friend Aime Leake did this last year so I thought I'd bring her on to discuss how it worked for her and her husband so if you're thinking about it you will know. The pass is $299 and allows you to book domestic flights the day before and international flights ten days out. She joins me at 2:30 to discuss but they already bought one for this upcoming year so I'm guessing it worked out just fine.
A BUNCH OF NEW LAWS COME OUT IN JANUARY And the one about kids in car seats is literally ridiculous. Age should not be a defining factor in when kids can be forward facing, size should. The Q did not fit in a backwards facing seat for very long because her legs were so long. Read all the laws here, especially the one about picking up your phone in your car. You need to know what the government has planned for you.
DEMOCRATES ARE OVERLEGISLATING And not just because some of the laws they pass are stupid, but by sheer volume. Sean Duffy writes here about how Colorado has passed far more legislation, much of it very complicated, than other states in the same timeframe. We desperately need a counterbalance to stop this, as Ari Armstrong writes here.
ABOUT THOSE IMAGINARY GANGS I'm sure the Governor has already apologized to Daniell Jurinsky at this point as it's obvious that gang activity is a serious issue in Aurora and not her "imagination" as he said. JK, of course he hasn't. After the confirmed kidnapping of two immigrants in Aurora by what are almost certainly gang members even the new Aurora PD Chief is exasperated. I like him so far after he said this to the press:
“The past is the past but I can tell you from what we are doing now, we have set a course of proactive law enforcement to hold those accountable,” Chamberlain said.
Finally! I police chief who simply says we won't tolerate this! Imagine that! That being said we still have serious issues, especially at those apartment complexes, and they are directly the fault of the failed immigration policies of the Biden Administration. Here's hoping Operation Aurora is a real thing and it's a real thing soon. This is a great editorial about the imaginary gangs.
IT'S TIME FOR NUCLEAR IN COLORADO And this episode of Power Gab explains how it works and how it could help Colorado reach it's insane carbon goals.
ONE COUPLE STYMIES PORCH PIRATES This story is really, really funny but you know that the trash that this couple packs into Amazon boxes to stymie the people stealing their Amazon packages just ends up on the street somewhere. Criminals don't dispose of waste properly. But good for them for screwing over the criminals who have been screwing them over. Read it here.
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR PROGRESSIVE AUTO INSURANCE POLICY As one man found a Mystery Driver had been added to his policy and apparently he isn't alone. Progressive, and I'm assuming other insurers, use a system designed to flag if another driver is in a household that could have access to drive a vehicle. That seems okay, except it's not always accurate and they can end up adding a driver that doesn't exist, like they did for this dude. The worst part is, he was expected to prove this driver didn't exist. How exactly is he supposed to prove a negative? Read more here.
OH CANADA. I hope this is the new PM of Canada we're watching here explain how the Trudeau Administration has run out of allies.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is THE MAN when it comes to presenting the conservative viewpoint in Canada. I straight up love him. Watch this.
Canada deserves better than Trudeau.
THE NCAA DOESN'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS ABOUT WOMEN Watch this exchange between NCAA President Charlie Baker and Josh Hawley.
I'd like someone to simply ask Baker this question: Why do men who believe they are women matter more than women? Just ask that question for me, I'd love to know the answer.
ABOUT THE BUDGET CRAP SANDWICH ABOUT TO BE PASSED Congressman Thomas Massie said this THREE MONTHS AGO in explanation of what is happening right now. He's so right.
IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE OTHER TEAM A new Real Estate platform will now tell you the political affiliation of your potential new neighbors. I find this appalling and I bet it's Democrats who will use it.
MORE ON THE GOP DUMPSTER FIRE I'm done talking about it but you read Jimmy Sengenberger's great column about it here.
DID DISNEY FINALLY GET IT? The first long form series from Disney's Pixar Studios comes out next year and a change has already been made: they ditched a trans kid storyline. Disney had this to say:
“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline,” said a spokesperson for Disney.
WHAT??? Parents should be the ones to talk about certain subjects with their kids?? Did Disney FINALLY get it? We'll see what happens to other woke products before I'm convinced.
THEY CANCELLED THE OLD MAN The excellent show starring Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow and I'm mad about it. Read it here.
NEW JERSEY IS LOUD As a matter of fact it's the loudest state in the union according to a new study of noise in the 50 states. Where do we rank? We are 9th on the list because of construction permits and daily commute times, but I think we should get a pass for the vast expanses of quiet wilderness we have. Just saying.
TOLERANT LIBERALS ON BLUE SKY LOVE DEATH THREATS This made me laugh really hard even though it shouldn't because death threats are bad and scary to those they are levied at. I laugh because liberals flocked to BlueSky over X.com because X got too mean and nasty for them when conservatives were actually allowed to post freely on the site. This story by Jesse Singal about his experience on Blue Sky is another example of the hypocrisy of the Left.
BIDEN PAID REUTERS TO INVESTIGATE ELON MUSK You want to know why Elon Musk is a Trump supporter now? Perhaps because President Biden funneled $300 MILLION DOLLARS to "news" organization Reuters to dig into Elon Musk. Reuters, or Biden's Pravda as I will now call them, got the money from a variety of agencies that were ordered to "look into" Musk. Read this for more and I wish I were surprised. I also wish Democrats saw stories like this at all as some continue to wail about how Trump will weaponize the government. He learned it from Biden.
NO, YOU CAN'T GET CHLAMYDIA FROM GYM EQUIPMENT That is not a headline I thought I would write today but here we are. Read more here and for goodness sake WIPE DOWN YOUR GYM EQUIPMENT WHEN YOU'RE DONE.
THE VATICAN IS RUNNING OUT OF MONEY And I wish I felt bad for them but the current Pope has alienated so many conservative Catholics that people aren't donating like they used to. I'd love to see a list of all the churches assets, to be honest. I'm guessing that won't happen. The Pope is hoping the 1,700 year anniversary of the Council of Nicaea next year will help them right the ship.
IT BETTER BE THE BEST BURGER AND FRIES EVER A new restaurant created by a Michelin starred chef has two items: a burger and fries. It better be the best damn burger and fries ever. Read it here.
WELD COUNTY IS THE FUTURE OF ENERGY PRODUCTION AND AGRICULTURE This is a great column about how agriculture and energy production are working hand in hand with each other in Weld County. Far from being solely about oil and gas, it's about the true all-of-the-above strategy of producing energy from a myriad of sources while maintaining valuable farmland at the same time.
