STATES ARE ABUSING MEDICAID And I've got Brian Blase from Paragon Health Institute to talk about this report they released recently that explains how states pad their coffers by tacking useless fees onto their Medicaid billing. It's a total racket and they call it Medicaid Money Laundering. We'll talk to Brian at 1 about this. For more details check out these articles on Biden growing Medicaid, Biden's surge, and how the ACA let states launder more money.
MY HEART GOES OUT TO THOSE AFFECTED BY TORNADOS THIS WEEKEND And I hope they can rebuild quickly from the damage the storm did. I hate tornados. At least you can see a hurricane coming and get out of the way.
JOE BIDEN HAD A BUSY FRIDAY On the same day that some of the audio from his interview with Special Prosecutor Robert Hur was released, the Biden camp also announced he had an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. I'm just going to say it, the timing on this is VERY hinkey. Don't get me wrong, I hope Biden makes a full recovery, although beating it now that it has spread to his bones is going to be tough and I don't think he has the physical stamina for a protracted fight. Here is some medical information about prostate cancer and Gleason scores that is very interesting. I wish him well on this cancer journey. But let's get to first things first about these two stories.
THE HUR AUDIO IS DEVASTATING FOR DEMOCRATS Have you heard it yet? This is four minutes and 25 seconds and it's clear he can't follow the questions, remember dates, or clearly answer a single thing. Even as prosecutors were very kind to him.
There is no doubt that everyone around Joe Biden knew about this decline. There is no doubt that world leaders who met with him before he wandered off at the G7 knew he was not right. I'm not mad at them, as they didn't have a responsibility to let us know, but the Democrats sure did.
Scott Jennings knows
So what happens after this audio, which by the way has been seized on by the same media who covered for Biden, is released on Friday? We find out Joe Biden not only has prostate cancer, it's a late stage cancer and it's already spread to his bones. This is very bad health news, but because watching politics makes one very cynical, I have to ask the same questions many doctors are now asking: how did it get this far without being detected? He had a comprehensive physical annually we were told, and prostate cancer is easily detected with a PSA test. Or was this another lie told to the American people by the Biden Administration? Incompetence or skullduggery? No matter now, he's got cancer that is going to be tough to beat.
POLIS VETOES THE AWFUL LABOR BILL But I fully expect this bill to come back again and again and in the future a progressive Governor will sign it. Read more here.
HE QUIETLY SIGNED A BILL OUTLAWING HURTING THE FEELINGS OF TRANS PEOPLE The very worst parts of the bill were stripped out, so what IS in it?
Section 6 requires that if a school or district chooses to adopt any name-use policy, that policy must be inclusive of all reasons a student might adopt a name different from their legal name. The law does not include any requirement to notify or consult parents.
Section 8 updates the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) to include “chosen name” and “how the individual chooses to be addressed” as protected elements under the definition of “gender expression.” This applies to schools, employers, public accommodations, and housing.
Just to be clear, it is now ILLEGAL to call a trans person by the wrong pronouns. The Rocky Mountain Voice did a great write up on it here.
GARY SINISE IT KEEPING HIS SON'S MEMORY ALIVE And he spoke with me and my friend Deb about his son's Mac's album that was completed at the very end of Mac's life after a battle with cancer. It's a devastating story but beautiful at the same time, watch it here.
CRIME DROPS AFTER ICE GOES AFTER GANG MEMBERS But I'm sure it's not connected. I'm sure. This article says maybe it is.
ROCKIES ARE THE WORST SINCE 1901 And I watched them yesterday play really well and keep it 1-0 on the back of great pitching by Dollander, only to leave the BASES FREAKING LOADED IN THE 9th to lose. GAAAAAHHHHHHH.
AREN'T WE SUING TRUMP FOR DOING THIS VERY SAME THING? This is funny. Not ha-ha funny, just funny. Remember how AG Phil Weiser is blowing through wads of Colorado taxpayer money (more on that soon) to sue Trump for withholding federal dollars because we're a sanctuary state? Do you think it helps our case that the Feds can't do that when our Governor announces he's going the EXACT SAME THING to counties that don't comply with new housing laws? I mean, not for nothing, doesn't this undermine the state's case against the feds? This also flies in the face of the lie that he cares about local control, something he's only in favor of when cities make tougher gun laws. Don't get me wrong, I think he probably can do this, just like the federal government can do what they are doing. It's just the height of hypocrisy when Polis does it for obvious reasons.
COULD YOU LIVE IN A TINY HOME? I could totally live in a tiny home by myself but there is ZERO percent chance my giant husband could live in one. He just takes up too much physical space. But if we wanted to try such madness, Colorado is VERY friendly to tiny homes, currently #2 in the nation according to this.
THE YEMI MOBOLADE CROSS BURNING CASE IS HEADED TO TRIAL And Mayor Yemi Mobolade will be testifying as a VICTIM here, though one of the defendants says he was in on it. I'm guessing the cross examination of him is going to be very interesting. Read more here.
THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL MOVES FORWARD After a rare Sunday night committee meeting where it failed on Friday. The sticking point is that the bill front loads tax cuts and spending are front loaded, with the means to pay for everything being backloaded. Republicans want to make those things closer together, as they should. This bill still sucks, it's still spends all the money on Biden's priorities.
WHATCHA DOING FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND? A lot of Americans are travelling this weekend, even in an uncertain economy, so says this article. I'm getting travelled TO this weekend and I can't wait to see my kids and grandkids!

THE MANITOU SPRINGS PENNY ARCADE HAS CHANGED HANDS And when I saw the headline I panicked a little bit because I LOVE the arcade. Like LOVE LOVE it. I don't know why. It makes me feel like I've stepped back in time I guess, and they have Joust, which is my favorite old school video game. Good news though, the new owner loves it too and has no desire to change anything. Phew.
