IT'S AN ASK ME ANYTHING KIND OF DAY So get your dumb questions ready. I'm ready.
MY VOTER GUIDE IS OUT And you can find it here.
IT'S SPOOKY SEASON So it seemed like a great time to bring back the women of XX Paranormal Communications to talk about their latest ghost hunting adventures! We'll have MacKenzie, Julia, and Christine in for a visit at 2:30 and you can follow them on Instagram here or check their Facebook page here. They join me at 2:30 with spooky stories.
ANOTHER REPUBLICAN IN A TOUGH RACE So I thought I'd have Michael DiManna on in the hopes we can eke out some votes in an overwhelmingly Dem district. Find out more about Michael and his campaign here, he joins me at 1pm.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT CELL PHONE ETIQUETTE FOR A MINUTE? The Wine Yogi posted this on her Facebook page the other day:
People are rude.
Don't talk on your damn phone on speaker when you are in a spa environment, ffs.
A**hole.
I censored her but you get the drift. So what do you do here? And why are people such aholes?
JD VANCE DID A TOWN HALL WITH CHRIS CUOMO And just compare ANY of this with the nonsense spewed by Vice President Harris in her disastrous CNN town hall.
TREN DE ARAGUA MADE DENVER ITS NEW HOME Because of Denver's Sanctuary City status. How do we know? Internal emails in the Aurora PD from LAST YEAR indicate that they got intelligence from the Feds saying that the gang had chosen Denver because of it's sanctuary policies. Denver PD says they know nothing and since they are banned from asking the immigration status of the people they arrest will they ever know? Read it here.
THE OWNER OF THE APARTMENTS IN QUESTION SKIPPED A COURT DATE And it's not sure whether or not he even knew he HAD a court date because they have been unable to serve him in person. Read it here, but in my X.com communications with CBZ Management they told me two days ago they couldn't talk to me because they were entering a Jewish holiday where they did not work and did not use phones or electricity so there's that, but they should have made arrangements ahead of time. IF the were served, which again, we don't know if that happened.
FOUR STOLEN BALLOTS MADE IT THROUGH SIGNATURE VERIFICATION In Mesa County there were at least twelve ballots that were stolen and returned fraudulently, a third of which made it past the signature verification process, though one was apparently caught after the real voter reported it not received after getting a notice from BallotTrax. Three of those ballots were counted and can't be rescinded. If you haven't gotten your ballot at this point you need to call your Clerk of Courts office and check Ballotrax to see if "you" already voted.
WHO NEEDS THE GOVERNMENT WHEN REDNECKS ARE AVAILABLE? To be honest, I have no idea if the good people of Tennessee who decided to use flatbed trailers to rebuild a washed out bridge but this smacks of the finest Redneck Engineering I've seen in a while.
MIKE PENCE'S CHIEF OF STAFF TAKES OUT KELLY AND HIS LIES And this guy probably has no good feelings for Trump after the way he treated Mike Pence at the end, but he felt compelled to correct the record on the lies Mike Kelly is spewing.
US INCOMPETENCE STYMIES ISRAEL After very sensitive plans that outlined some of the planning for Israel's retaliatory strike on Iran Israel was forced to delay the attack to come up with a new plan. If I were Israel, I would share fake plans with the US hoping/knowing they would be leaked to create misdirection like they did in World War II before they stormed the beaches of Normandy. If you're going to have to deal with the idiots in the Biden Admin, may as well make them useful idiots. Interesting tidbit from this article is that there are now 100 American soldiers in Israel to help operate a new system to take down ballistic missiles. That's something to pay attention to.
REPLACE ZIONISTS WITH BLACKS AND THEN LET'S DISCUSS The New York Times has this long piece about the "death" of academic freedom because professors who post hateful things about Jews and Israel on social media are being fired. I want to share this bit:
But it was her sharing of an Instagram post by a Palestinian American poet, Remi Kanazi, that got her fired, Dr. Finkelstein said. “Do not cower to Zionists,” the post said. “Don’t normalize Zionists taking up space.”
A student complained that the post made her feel unsafe, as a Zionist and as a Jew. “She said she wouldn’t feel comfortable in my classes,” Dr. Finkelstein said in an interview.
Now replace "Zionists" with the word "Blacks". Does that change the mood? Do you think that would be accepted at universities? Open and racist rhetoric directed at Jews should be held to the EXACT same standard, don't you think? Why is open racism verboten and open anti-Semitism supposed to be academic freedom?
NO, ELEPHANTS ARE PEOPLE The group that argued a case in Brooklyn on "behalf" of an elephant named Happy is now refining their arguments with a similar case here demanding that the elephants at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo be released to an unnamed animal sanctuary because they have the same rights are humans. This is such a slippery slope argument that could ultimately be used to declare that your beloved pet should be "liberated" if someone else decides. This should go down in flames but I don't trust the current Supreme Court in Colorado to not make an idiotic decision.
NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS AFTER MIDNIGHT My mom must have said that to me a MILLION times in my teen years and she wasn't entirely wrong, as Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds found out after getting shot in the wee hours of the morning outside a strip club. He's gonna be okay but dang.
TGIF EREBODY! And this week's TGIF is here and outstanding at the Free Press. You really should subscribe, which you can do here. If any of you sign up using that link I may get a free month of my subscription, just an fyi, but I'm not sharing for that, I'm sharing because columns like this are worth every penny.
THIS MADE ME LAUGH ENTIRELY TOO HARD Everyone needs a Sassy Gay Friend!
JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS A TOTAL RACIST The Canadian Prime Minister has cut immigration to Canada for two years, obviously because he's racist. That is the only conclusion left wingers must jump to, it is the precedent, especially after Trudeau tweeted this out in 2017:
The problem is he's found out that a flow of unskilled, poorly educated people from around the world lead to a kind of diversity that was NOT Canada's strength. I think this is kind of funny because I love being right.
UH-OH A radio station in Poland has replaced journalists with AI created "presenters" in the hopes it would bring young people to the station. What it brought is a heap of backlash and scorn. I believe this is just the beginning of radio companies, who have fired pretty much anyone they can at this point leaving far fewer people to do far more jobs, replacing humans with AI in a bid to make money. I hope I'm not next.
A NEW AND TROUBLING FAMILY TREND I know people who have cut off their parents because of addiction or serious mental health issues that remain untreated. I get that. But I know parents who have been cut off by their children because of politics, or with no explanation at all, and that is not okay. Now this seems to be more of a trend than ever before. I think (and this is just my dimestore analysis) that we need to spend more time talking about the transitional relationship between childhood and adulthood because I think that is when a lot of this could be mitigated with some work on acceptance and care to develop a parent-adult child relationship which should be far different than the parent-child relationship.
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO TRAVEL AROUND IN SPACE? Watch this, it's so cool.
FIVE MINUTES ON FOCUS And you know I love Andrew Huberman and this is very good info.
YOU CAN GO WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE By visiting the Denver Art Museum to see the Maurice Sendak exhibit.
OPHELIA'S IS OPENING BACK UP THIS WEEKEND And I LOVE this venue for music. It's been sold out of the Edible Beats brand so no word on the menu, but the music will be the focus of the club now according to the new owners. They book EVERY kind of act so if you love an eclectic mix of acts in a super cool space you may want to make a note of their calendar here. Denver legends The Flobots open it back up tonight.
WE WON'T HAVE INFINITE MONKEY THEOREM TO SIP AROUND ANYMORE As the wine maker is calling it quits at the end of this year.
ONE MORE THING ON MARK KELLY'S LIES I'll just let you read what may have motivated him to "remember" Trump's obsession with Hitler JUST NOW before the election.
