TRUMP MEETS DESANTIS IN FLORIDA Trump needs donors and DeSantis has quite the rolodex of them so you knew something like this is going to have to happen. Will Trump choose Ron as Veep? I doubt it but you never know. My money is still on a woman, though Kristi Noem has taken herself out of that race by bizarrely admitting she shot and killed a dog she deemed "untrainable" in her new book. I'm not sure why she felt the need to hand the world the ultimate in opposition research but she did it. I hope she sells books because her hopes of being a Veep in a country where we spend billions on our pets is over. Trump needs cash as he's burning through it defending himself from various charges and lawsuits so he met with DeSantis to get info on HIS donors. As a DeSantis fan I know this stuff is just part of politics but it feels so gross. I wonder if Trump dangled VP in front of Ron and I hope Ron said, no thanks. Look at how well that worked out for his last VP.
DO NOT USE A UCLA TRAINED DOCTOR Why? Read this Twitter thread for starters.
UCLA's Medical school has injected a huge dose of intersectionality and claptrap to its required courses for DOCTORS. Read this column for a more succinct overview, but even UCLA trained doctors are demanding someone be fired for this. In the meantime, be on the lookout for those UCLA medicine degrees because they aren't worth the paper they are printed on.
THE AURARIA PROTESTS BROUGHT OUT FASCIST MIKE JOHNSTON And I'M not calling him a fascist, but the Useful Idiots putting up tents on Tivoli Quad are. This is what happens when a political party makes its bones by calling the opposition fascists every time it disagrees, eventually the inmates take over the asylum and use those slurs on the hometeam. That's what happened when likeable Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston went to meet the protesters who are breaking the law at the Auraria campus anyway. He asked the "protesters" if they would take down their tents and continue to protest. They called him a "f*cking fascist" instead. Heh.
THE AURARIA CAMPUS ISSUED A FEW STATEMENTS But it's fairly obvious to me that these "protesters" are not going to pay attention to several sternly worded statements. You can read them here but as far as I know there are still tents on Tivoli Quad. Your move, Campus officials.
THIS AS PROTESTERS SEEK AMNESTY The great thing about America is you can protest to your heart's content here. Whatever your cause, you can vent your spleen because of our robust Free Speech protections. That being said, there is nothing in the Constitution about being free of consequences for your actions. If you decide to protest at Google, they can fire you, as we've seen. Now protesters who have been arrested and suspended or bounced out of college have a new demand: amnesty. These skulls full of mush are now DEMANDING they be allowed to shut down campus without any reaction from the schools, which is ridiculous. Students have rarely been fully kicked out, but they are worried about whether or not their suspensions will mess up their graduate school entrances. Should have thought about that before you set up an illegal campground on the campus green. This is the ultimate FAFO campus edition. It is my fervent wish that the schools do not back down but I don't have a lot of confidence that schools outside the south have any backbone.
ONE PROTESTER KICKED OUT WHEN TALKING ABOUT KILLING JEWS At least this guy is honest, amiright? Khymani James is a dude who finds racism and other ways to be offended in every aspect of life. He's been raised to be a radical seeing injustice in the world being perpetuated by anyone he hates, mainly white people and Jews. He asked the question whether Jews should be allowed "to live" and finally Columbia did something about his raging anti-Semitism and kicked him out. Or at least banned him from campus. He's Columbia's own Tay Anderson from where I'm sitting. I'm sure he'll find a new university home where his special brand of anti-Semitism easily, but it won't be at Columbia. With even Joe Biden coming out to condemn James' vile statements about wanting to kill Jews I'm sure he's bereft without the political home that created him.
NOTED TERRORIST ANGELA DAVIS SPEAKS TO SKULLS FULL OF MUSH Shame on the Denver Gazette for failing to mention that Angela Davis bought and supplied the guns that killed a judge during a kidnapping by a group of civil rights extremists in the 60s. This is what passes for a biography of Angela Davis:
Davis was heavily involved in the civil rights movement in the 1960s as a professor and activist. She has written about and protested against capitalism, segregation and racism in the American south, protested against the Vietnam War, imperialism and war, generally, and even participated in the Girl Scouts National Roundup in Colorado in 1959.
She was also a fugitive from justice after helping the Soledad Brothers break out of jail and eventually murder a judge overseeing their trial. But don't let the facts get in the way of a good retread of another 60s hippie clinging to relevance.
JON CALDARA LAMENTS THE DEATH OF FREE SPEECH IN COLORADO In this column about the Democrat created speech codes at the Capitol where they get to decide what words people can and can't use while testifying. Jon is exactly right here. This Denver Gazette editorial shares the same issue.

IMMIGRATION IS A HOT ISSUE FOR DENVERITES And if we had a functioning Republican party there would be political opportunity there could be room for growth on this issue alone but we don't. They are too worried about keeping unaffiliateds out of the primary to actually make the case for Republican policies on immigration. That being said, read this story about how people in the metro are feeling about their money being used to prop up illegal immigrants when their own children can barely afford to live here. That "fascist" Mike Johnston should pay attention.
CITY FOLKS ARE RUINING OUR NATURE This story about Pike's Peak the trouble they are having keeping it clean is infuriating to me. I don't understand people who think dropping trash of any kind, especially a refrigerator, is not okay. It's not okay at all. And now they are trying to figure out how to keep the trash down to a manageable minimum while not completely shutting off access to our majestic parks. I hate people who do stuff like this.
COLORADO LANDLORDS SUING OVER STUPID NEW GREEN POLICIES When Democrats say they want to lower the cost of living in Colorado please ask them why they continually pass laws that will make it exponentially more expensive to rent. Case in point new green edicts that will cost BILLIONS to comply with by landlords who will simply be forced to pass those costs onto renters. Now a group of landlords is fighting back.
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BRAIN ON AN ULTRA PROCESSED DIET? You aren't going to believe what living on an ultra processed diet for 30 days does to your brain. Now imagine living on one all the time. It's no wonder we are fat.
TWO MINUTE DRILL!
SOUTHWEST IS DITCHING SOME NON STOPS FROM DIA And you can read which ones here. They say slow delivery of new Boeing planes has created an aircraft shortage which necessitated the cuts as Southwest tries to get back to profitability after a big increase in labor (that was needed) and overall costs. They are also considering changing their seating practices to adopt the same sort of "pay for the good seats" strategy that other airlines employ. Just don't mess with my two free bags and we are okay.
YOGA ON THE ROCKS IS BACK And I've been wanting to do this since I've moved here but that drive is LONG and I'm not as bendy as I used to be. Check the dates here.
JOE BIDEN'S BAN ON MENTHOL CIGS IS OFF UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION As he's afraid of losing the black vote over it. They won't know what hit them after another Democrat makes promises to get their votes that they promptly turn their backs on after election day.

DON'T GET VAMPIRE FACIALS JUST ANYWHERE They do these at Regen Revolution, which is a licensed facility where they practice good hygiene. Women are looking for deals and going to unlicensed places and now three of them got HIV from it.
EVERYONE WANTS TO LOOK THE SAME NOW At least according to plastic surgeons who are increasingly just giving everyone the same face. It's called "instragram face" and I think it's horrible. I'm not against plastic surgery, but it should be designed to make you look like the best version of YOURSELF, not a Kardashian.
IS SEXSOMNIA KEEPING YOU UP AT NIGHT? This is a new one for me but it sounds like more fun than just regular insomnia. I say that jokingly because sufferers don't think so. People can become aroused sexually and have even fondled their partners or had sex with them while completely asleep and then they have no memory of what happened when they wake up. I take it back, this sounds horrible.

IF YOU CAN MAKE IT HERE... Frank Sinatra's NYC townhouse is up for sale for the first time in 50 years. Check it out and if you've got $4.45 million it can be yours, but in my humble opinion it's a total gut job so factor that in.
