WEATHER WEDNESDAY IS TODAY AT 12:30 So get your questions ready for Fox 31's Chief Meteorologist Dave Fraser to answer all of your questions.
JD VANCE LOOKED PRESIDENTIAL LAST NIGHT During a really interesting debate where things like policy were discussed at length by both candidates. Tim Walz started off like a Chris Farley sketch but managed to pull himself together pretty well. Walz fumbled the question about his lie about being in China very, very badly and the campaign should have prepared him better on how to answer that.
Knucklehead indeed. He did not misspoke, he sat in Congress as a Congressman and regaled Congress with his tale of being IN China when it happened. My favorite part is when he says "I still remember the train station". I bet you do, Tim.
Walz's folksy expressions didn't help his case during the night.
At one point the extremely flustered Walz said something so absurd you know he didn't mean it.
WHAT DID THE MEDIA THINK OF THE DEBATE? This is hilarious.
AND NOW JD VANCE IS "HOT" Check out the comments on the post on X.com of his opening speech which was so, so good.
His wife is gorgeous, his children are beautiful and unfortunately there are people who vote on nothing but this. Maybe not unfortunately for Vance, just unfortunately that people vote in such a shallow way. This is a HUGE problem for the Democrats and continues the Hot Conservative Summer into the fall. Red State writes about the new hotness here.
BUT THOSE MODERATORS THOUGH Last night Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan cemented their place as the WORST moderators in history and there was some stiff competition in this arena. I YELLED out loud when O'Donnell made the snotty comment at the end of Vance's comments here. She came off as snotty and obnoxious in a debate where we were told there would be no fact checking.
When Margaret Brennan decided to inject her own fact check into the debate when it comes to Haitian migrants and Vance was having none of it. Then Brennan doubled down by muting his microphone during his fact check of her fact check. Not a good look and certainly girds the point that Republicans are treated unfairly. What a clown show these two moderators were.
IF YOU READ THIS ASSOCIATED PRESS STORY You'd have no idea how badly Walz did. Check out this bit where they cover for him lying about being at Tianamen Square:
Walz had several verbal stumbles on a night in which he admitted to “misspeaking” often. In the debate’s opening moments, he confused Iran and Israel when discussing the Middle East.
At one point he said he had “become friends with school shooters,” and he stumbled through an explanation of inaccurate remarks about whether he was in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. ( He was not.)
But the governor noticeably put Vance on the defensive over abortion and, near the end of the debate, with a pointed question about whether Trump won the 2020 election.
Sure AP, sure. "Inaccurate remarks" indeed. Mmmkay.
Just remember this when anyone talks about the decision making of Harris or Trump.
THE PORT WORKERS UNION IS FIGHTING TO KEEP THINGS INEFFICIENT The International Longshoremen Association is on strike and they want a 77% pay increase over the next six years and promises that automation won't be brought to the docks. That last part is good for the union but bad for ports and goods. This is a good article about automation and the fight over whether or not automation kills jobs or just makes them easier. I think it's probably a little from column A and a little from Column B.
GRISWOLD IS THE WORST SECRETARY OF STATE I'VE EVER SEEN And I mean that. Read this editorial about how she fought public access to voting records when someone wanted to make sure dead people aren't still on the voter rolls. She said no. She just lost in court, again.
DOES ARAPAHOE COUNTY HAVE ANOTHER GANG INFESTED APARTMENT COMPLEX? It seems like the answer is maybe after four suspects were arrested after a shooting at the Ivy Crossings apartment complex. The complex has some history. From the Denver Gazette:
In August, Arapahoe County Sheriff’s deputies arrested six people at that complex on a variety of charges, ranging from drugs to stolen vehicles. Four of the arrested individuals were connected to Tren de Aragua.
Is this latest shooting gang related? Not clear yet but obviously there are some significant issues to be dealt with there.
DENVER COMMUNISTS URGE VIOLENT OVERTHROW And part of me wants to put my hands on their face and just give them a big "bless your heart" but then I realize they are serious. In this story you can see their "training" where they decide to get members of the military to turn their guns on their superiors. Mmkay, let me know how that works out. These people are dangerous extremists and yet I don't see any of their grandmas in jail. So weird that the Department of Justice would treat people urging violent overthrow differently than people who walked through the US Capitol. Weird.
IRAN'S MISSILE ATTACK WAS A DUD As they only managed to kill one Palestinian man when a shrapnel from a destroyed rocket literally fell on him. There were more fatalities from the attack in the street by two gunmen who were sent home to meet Allah and their virgins for their trouble. We heard from our nephew who said the rocket attacks were no big deal because Israel is so used to them but the street attacks have all Israelis walking around fully armed at all times now. Israel now says they will attack Iran's oil fields and this is going to create a HUGE ripple effect in the oil market so get ready for that. I still want to know HOW we knew they were going to attack. From a story about the attacks:
Nevertheless, warnings that an attack was going to take place on Tuesday began circulating from US sources a couple of hours or so before the missiles were launched. It is unclear how the information would have been obtained but it may have come from satellite imagery, communications intercepts or a diplomatic notification. There were unconfirmed reports that Iran notified Russia before the attack.
I'm telling you Iran sent up the warning because they do NOT want a full scale war with Israel. Iran is fighting the old fight where Israel would capitulate to the rest of the world and agree to a cease fire so Iran and Hezbollah and Hamas could re arm to fight another day. That is the old war. This is not that.
THIS IS THE TEXT MESSAGE I READ YESTERDAY FROM AN ISRAELI CITIZEN Some asked me to post it here so here you go. It shows the resolve of the Israeli people to end this once and for all.
They've been shooting rockets at us for a year, burning the north, people are living in a war zone for so long. they literally targeted children while they were playing soccer and managed to kill 12 of them. Didn't hear Macron asking for a cease fire then... There are tens of thousands of people living away from home for a whole year, many of which have no homes to return to. Finally when we decide enough is enough the world waked up and asks for a ceasefire? Where the hell were they until now?
That pisses me off big time.
Biggest hypocrisy ever!!! Like any other country in the world would be willing to tolerate this absurdity! They would have been be wiped out twelve months ago but the Jews should just put their heads down and endure.
We should kick their asses and never let them return anywhere near the boarder and make them leave *their* villages and then burn down every village within 15 kilometers from our boarder so no Israeli kid should ever have to run for shelter in their life again💪💪💪
And the f*cking world should shove it!
That's my humble opinion 🤣
Thank you for giving me a chance to get that off my chest, I literally feal better now🩷😂
Seems to be pretty clear how they feel.
DENVER HAS A FANCY HOTEL THAT'S BEING NOTICED By Conde Nast readers anyway. The Limelight Hotel near Union Station got a nod, along with several other Colorado hotels. Read it here.
TOO MANY LEAF PEEPERS ARE SPOILING THE VIEW Just like everything else in Colorado going to see the changing Aspens has become a pain in the aspen. Now traffic is out of control, with one peeper saying it was like driving in LA.
WAIT UNTIL YOU HIT 50 This made me laugh because it's true and it only gets worse. Watch below or click here.
GAMING THE INTERVIEW WITH AI This is a bad, bad, bad idea. I'm all for using AI for cover letters and resume help, but this goes way too far. Watch below or click here.
CNN ASKS KIDS ABOUT THE ELECTION AND IT'S NOT GOOD FOR DEMOCRATS
Read the rest of the story here. Kids will always tell you what they think so don't ask questions you don't want the real answer to. The concerning part to me is the Democrat households are teaching their kids to hate people who think differently than they do.

BY FAR THE FUNNIEST MEME FROM LAST NIGHT And there were a BUNCH.
GLOBAL ENTRY JUST GOT MORE EXPENSIVE But I am here to tell you that when you fly in after a 10 hour flight from somewhere being able to skip the ginormous line in Customs is worth every penny of the new $120 fee. Trust me on this.
