WEATHER WEDNESDAY TODAY So Fox 31's Dave Fraser is on at 12:30 to discuss when it will finally be sweater weather.
THE PROPERTY TAX FIX IS OUT OF THE HOUSE And if we are to wrap up this very expensive special session made necessary by the Legislature's inability to fix a problem they helped create it needs to move through the Senate today. Read more here. Just how much will you save if this passes versus if the ballot initiatives pass? Shaun Boyd from CBS 4 broke it down here.
KAMALA IS BRINGING HER DAD TO THE INTERVIEW The woman who wants to lead the free world is apparently afraid to an interview by herself. After agreeing to a prerecorded sit down with the friendly Dana Bash from CNN, not even a live interview, it was announced she's bringing Tim Walz with her. This is an embarrassing slap in the face to anyone who has wanted a female POTUS for years. The notion that she can't appear without a man by her side is fundamentally wrong. Did Joe Biden only do interviews she attended? Nope. Did he EVER do a joint interview with her? Not that I can find. She is not capable of doing this job.
TRUMP GETS INDICTED AGAIN But you can indict a ham sandwich and Jack Smith has already been slapped down by the Supreme Court for his overreach. The new indictment throws the same accusations at Trump but now they call him a political candidate instead of President of the United States. This will all be challenged in court and won't be disposed of before the election and honestly it doesn't matter. No one is going to be swayed by a political indictment by a politicized DoJ. Read more here if you want. This is just to give Kamala Harris another attack point. I genuinely believe that.
EVEN AS INCUMBENT KAMALA BANS YOUR GAS STOVE And yes, this just happened and no one is talking about. The Biden-Harris Administration just passed rules to ban gas stoves by 2028. You read that right. But it's par for the course for the woman who was against fracking before she was for it, against building the wall before she was for it and has said in the past we need to "ban certain behaviors". My question is why have we let government get so big and powerful that they are going to mandate HOW WE COOK OUR FOOD? This is absurd.
SOME VENEZUELAN IMMIGRANTS ARE STEALING CARS As part of a very complex and successful car theft ring just busted by Douglas County. Among the 11 people arrested were several illegal immigrants, bringing to the light that maybe those stories of jails and prisons being emptied out if the people in them promised to go to America may be true. Between this and the gangs taking over Aurora apartment buildings, we have a huge problem and we've addressed it by giving them free stuff. What suckers we are. But hey, they just want a better life, amiright?
WOLF RE INTRODUCTION ISN'T GOING SMOOTHLY SO FAR As the family of wolves living in the Copper Creek area are about to be trapped and moved. Why? They keep feasting on livestock. The two parent wolves and their three pups will be relocated to an unknown location so as to not upset the people in that area whose stuff might be eaten. Seriously, that's why. This pack obviously gets that livestock is a buffet so where are they going to put them so they don't eat more livestock?
WHERE HAS ALL THE POT MONEY GONE? This story talks about where it went in Denver, but I'd love to see a breakdown for the entire state. In Denver it's gone for homelessness, affordable housing, and a fund I'm guessing only minority business owners can apply to for capital, which hardly seems fair to me but whatever I don't live there.
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BORING LIFE I had this story yesterday and want to talk about it because if you are living a boring life there is so much you can do to change that. It just takes a little imagination.
LOOKING FOR A RELIABLE USED CAR? Consumer Reports did a check and you won't be surprised by two of them, though one was a big unexpected. Here is the list of the top ten, as the story below only covers the top three.
THE WEIGHT LOSS DRUG PRICE WARS ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN I'm sure when the drug companies realized the promise of weight loss drugs it didn't occur to them that these products could easily be compounded, allowing someone to get them much cheaper than the $1200 to $1500 a month the drug makers are charging. Now Eli Lilly is going after those customers by slashing prices on it's individual dose vials. The big money is in the pre loaded pens, where they charge an arm and a leg for the plastic that gives the shot without you having to load a syringe, which you will have to do with these Zepbound vials. But the cost is $399 a month instead of more than double that. Expect other drug makers to follow suit.
POLITICO GETS SLAMMED FOR RUNNING COVER FOR KAMALA And hooboy this was fun to watch on X yesterday. It all started with this tweet:
As you can see, the Community Notes were pretty savage. It lead to people pointing out stuff like this:
But I'm sure they will cover the Trump campaign the same way. I'm sure.
LEGOS ARE ABOUT TO GET EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE As Lego is going green and moving away from the petroleum base they use now. They are contracting now for recycled resin, which is WAY more expensive than what they use now, and I assure you those costs will be passed on to the consumer. But hey, now when you step on a lego brick in the middle of the night it will be environmentally friendly, amiright?
ANOTHER THING IS GOING TO KILL US NOW And it's a mosquito born illness called the Oropouche virus. The virus is fairly well known in South America but is now in the US as well. Between this and West Nile Virus and Equine Encephalitis can we all agree mosquitoes suck and are the worst animal on earth?
LOOKING TO PEEP THE ASPENS? Here is the leaf changing forecast and it's expected to be a good one this year.
DOUGCO IS THE THIRD HEALTHIEST COUNTY IN THE COUNTRY And I'm doing my part to keep it that way. You can read about it here.
NOW PINOCCHIO IS GETTING THE SLASHER FILM TREATMENT Good grief, this guy has found a niche by destroying all that is good and holy from my childhood. Get ready for Pinocchio: Unstrung in a theater near you soon.
TOURISM FALLS OUT OF FAVOR BECAUSE OF TOURISTS if people moved about the world as if they were the owners of all the places they visited I'm guessing there would be a higher level of respect shown, but they don't. They leave garbage, cause huge lines and traffic issues, and generally make a nuisance out of themselves instead, which is why several cities around the world now charge people for daily passes to visit and why some places are telling tourists to go home. This has me longing for a recession that would keep those people home.
HARD TRUTHS ABOUT AGING And boy howdy did I feel these today. What is something about aging you wish someone told you? Check the list here.
YOU KNOW WHAT STOPS CELL PHONE BANS? SCARED PARENTS. How are you going to send your kid to college when there have been school shootings there? How do you allow them any freedom at all when there is danger everywhere in society? I love my kid and I don't want anything to happen to her, but cell phones are worse for kids than a statistically improbable possibility you can't control anyway. And yet, parents are fighting cell phone bans not because they are bad for their kids, but because THEY can't give up that constant tether to their children.
FIFTEEN "MUST SEE" FALL MOVIES and I put Must See in quotes because so much of what Hollywood is making these days is utter trash. Find the big movies here, but if you want to know whether or not they are worth seeing check out Hollywood in Toto before you do. They will review them honestly for you.

ARE NFTS STILL A THING? Trump seems to think so.
YOUNG DNC VOLUNTEER COMES AWAY DISILLUSIONED But she did go to a convention that is designed to reward the most loyal partisans who do all the work in the party and frankly, poor people don't have time to do that. Watch below or click here.
