I'D LIKE TO TALK TO MY FELLOW DOMESTIC TERRORISTS IN COLORADO And of course I'm speaking to other parents who are upset at the direction our schools have taken under complete left wing union control. We've been labelled domestic terrorists by the National Association of School Boards because we're showing up at meetings demanding things like an end to the practice of telling children their skin color matters more than anything else, or wanting our children to ATTEND school in person. Now the Colorado media has jumped on board to paint anyone who disagrees with the union stooges currently running things as the same. Read more here, but don't back down. Do NOT back down. Oh, and if you're wearing a tshirt you are wearing "military style apparel". Mmmkay.
HERE IS A GOOD EXPLAINER ON THE LAWSUIT FILED BY DOUGCO SCHOOLS Against the DougCo Board of Health over mask mandates. You need to understand exactly what is being alleged and what happens next if you are a DougCo parent.
THE COLORADO WOMAN SEEKING A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT IS GETTING HELP FROM TEXAS After UC Health told a woman who found a kidney from a willing donor that they would not do the transplant because she and her donor are NOT vaccinated against covid, the story went viral. Now help is coming from Texas, where they are working to bring the woman to Texas to get her operation.
WHY WE NEED AMENDMENT 78 TO END SLUSH FUND SPENDING Our Attorney General and Secretary of State spent gobs of money without oversight, much of it directed to political cronies or out of state contracts in no-bid deals. From the Denver Gazette:
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold sent $2.8 million in federal emergency COVID-19 mitigation funds — almost half of the CARES Act cash allocated to her office — to a politically well-connected, Washington D.C.-based public relations and lobbying firm to produce a set of TV ads to educate Colorado voters about the 2020 election procedures.
Attorney General Phil Weiser directed around $250,000 to no-bid contracts for a handful of his campaign contributors or their firms, from a pot of money controlled by his office that's intended to help protect consumers from fraud.
Both are examples of government spending that has little to no oversight, from what are called “custodial funds,” which end up with state agencies to spend, but which don’t come from the state legislature's general fund budgeting process.
Amendment 78 would put an end to this practice and create legislative oversight where there is none currently. I am a firm yes on this. Especially after reading this story.
A FAN GROUP IS HELLA MAD THE SOUTH PARK GUYS ARE BUYING CASA BONITA And they have filed something or other to stop the sale of the iconic establishment to the Trey Stone and Matt Parker. I hope they fail. They are mad because they were negotiating with the owner and then he called off the talks and two weeks later sold to Parker and Stone. So what? This group has investors but I bet they don't have the kind of deep pockets Parker and Stone have. This is ridiculous to be honest.
THE MIGHTY DR. DOUGLAS AND THE END OF TRI COUNTY HEALTH This is a GREAT column (and not just because he name checked me) about the fall of Tri County Health under the dictatorial science ignoring Dr. John Douglas. It lays out the timelines and how and when Douglas made nonsensical decisions that led Douglas and now Adams county to vamoose. GREAT column.
OMG WE COULD GET WORLD SERIES GAMES!!! The Atlanta Braves are playing GREAT baseball in the post season, but we already know from this past summer that Major League Baseball will NEVER let important games take place in such a horrible racist state like Georgia so maybe there's a chance for us again? It'd be nice to finally have some World Series games here, wouldn't it? (I have to credit listener Fred M with this idea)
I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF A SNARKY HEADLINE FOR JOC PEDERSON'S PEARLS Because it's weird that the Atlanta Brave wears a string of pearls while he plays, but it seems to be working so who am I to judge? Read more about this here.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? A Rod asked the staff and now we're all on the TikTok
FOX NEWS PROVES CONSERVATIVES ARE FUNNY And even Variety was forced to take notice of the success of Gutfeld! the very funny late night show running on Fox News since April. Greg Gutfeld made his bones on The Five and now is standing proudly atop the heap of so-called late night comedians, regularly beating everyone except Colbert and even beating him on many occasions. Good for Greg, and good for conservatives who always knew we could be funny.
ENES KANTER ISN'T TOWING THE NBA'S LINE ON CHINA The NBA has been craven and cowardly when it comes to the billion dollar Chinese market. They would rather make money than stand up for freedom and dignity in a country that controls most aspects of it's citizens lives. Including their internet access to Boston Cetics games, which has been stripped after Celtics center Enes Kanter called out the Chinese dictator for well, being a dictator. The NBA, which never misses a chance to grovel to Xi, has been silent so far.
INDIANA IS WOOING ANGRY CHICAGO COPS Chicago cops have to get the covid shot or get tested twice weekly and they are NOT happy about it. Indiana, which has the same cop shortage that everyone else is having, is actively courting those cops to come work for them. This is genius.
MEN ARE BIGGER CRYBABIES THAN WOMEN ARE A new study asked women and men how often they cried in the previous month. Men cried more than women. Another misconception blown up in this survey is that men won't seek mental health help. They do, but they hide it from others.
MANCHIN CALLS BS ON A MOTHER JONES REPORT ABOUT HIM SWITCHING PARTIES I think West Virginia's Joe Manchin will die a Democrat because he sees himself as what a Democrat used to be. Unfortunately the party he belongs to does NOT see things that way so there are always rumors that he is going to file the papers and become a Republican. I just don't think he's ever going to do that. He may see himself as the last bulwark in the Democrat party against the rising tide of progressive nonsense. I have no clue, but I'll be shocked if he every switches.
FAKE OR REAL SMILE? I found this to be an easy test.
HALLOWEEN IS BACK, BABY! And here is a list of gathering places to take kids trick or treating or to have some fun.
CONDI RICE TAKES ON THE LADIES OF THE VIEW ON CRT And she is amazing. Just incredible. Watch this.
The part of that video I found the most disturbing is that the women of The View believe that children are not being taught about slavery or that there is some movement that wants to NOT teach about slavery. This is a pure fabrication but watch how they all nod in agreement. Idiots in a bubble.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE EXEMPT FROM BIDEN'S VACCINE MANDATE And we already knew this, but remember this when you don't want to get the shot. If you weren't a taxpaying citizen you'd be exempt. I have no words.
WHEN HALLOWEEN COSTUMES CREATE A PROBLEM This is the Babylon Bee but again, so close to the truth.

I HAVE NEW LOVE FOR IN-N-OUT BURGER Because they took a stand and refused to demand to see the papers of people who wanted to eat there. This is part of the statement their legal put out:
“We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” Arnie Wensinger, the company’s chief legal and business officer, said in a statement shared with The Washington Post. “It is unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe to force our restaurant Associates to segregate Customers into those who may be served and those who may not, whether based on the documentation they carry, or any other reason.”
I like them so much better now. Not that I didn't like them, I just didn't LIKE LIKE them, you know?
