WHAT DID THE POST REPORTER LEAVE OUT OF HER WHINY EXPOSE? Today one of the women "outed" by a Denver Post news article about the social media account @DoBetterDNVR (you can find them on X and Instagram) joins me to talk about the stuff that WASN'T in the article from her conversation with the reporter. Jill Osa is the mom who owns a house here but is currently living in Arizona. She is on at 2:30 to talk about some of the stuff in this post below and to explain why she got involved at all.
THE TRADES ARE HAVING A MOMENT And today I've got Kirk Offel, Founder/CEO, Overwatch Mission Critical, on why the trades are where it's at for Gen Z. We're going to talk about why trades can't be replaced by AI and why blue collar is the new hot collar. He's on at 1pm.
SENATOR ADAM SCHIFF IS A TOTAL SCUMBAG But then if you watched him LIE over and over again during the fake Russiagate investigation you already knew this. But NOW we know that not only did he sit on MSNBC and lie over and over again about having the goods that showed Trump was a Russian agent, he DIRECTED the leak of classified information to make Trump look bad. From Just the News:
A career intelligence officer who worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade repeatedly warned the FBI beginning in 2017 that then-Rep. Adam Schiff had approved leaking classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump over the now-debunked Russiagate scandal, according to bombshell FBI memos that Director Kash Patel has turned over to Congress.
The FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News state the intelligence staffer — a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself as a friend to both Schiff, now a California senator, and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes — considered the classified leaking to be "unethical," "illegal," and “treasonous,” but was told not to worry about it because Schiff believed he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's speech and debate clause.
Why would he do something like that? Well this is what the whistleblower said a few years ago:
"When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer's name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF," the interview report said. "In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.”
This isn't the least bit surprising to me. What is surprising is that the whistleblower brought concerns to the Department of Justice in 2017! And many of those same people who decided this was a nothingburger are STILL at the DoJ. They must go and they must go now. The statute of limitations is long over, but as Adam Schiff is now facing an investigation for mortgage fraud, this couldn't happen at a better time. Well it would have been better in 2017 but whatever. Why was Schiff working so hard to get Trump? He was promised CIA Director if Hillary won. Thank God she got shellacked. I'm going to go through all this today at 12:30, it's a lot and at a bare minimum every member listed in this report (Schiff and the gross Eric Swalwell) need to have their security clearances revoked until it's sorted. They can't be trusted with classified information, period.
RTD FINDS OUT MORE COPS = LESS CRIME Good news for RTD riders, fewer complaints of open drug use are being called in using RTD's app to report issues. Why is that? This might be a pretty big clue:
Reports of crime and drug use on Regional Transportation District public buses, trains and at stations have been trending downward since the beginning of 2024, though actual citations increased this year, according to police data reviewed by The Denver Gazette. The increase in citations resulted from a surge in enforcement activities, the data showed. And, at least once this year, illegal drug use wasn’t the top complaint among riders of metro Denver's transit system, a drop that authorities attributed to more police visibility and an increase in ridership.
Wow, imagine that. Having more cops on the trains checking tickets and whatnot means less crime on the trains. Imagine.
LIMITS ON WHAT FOOD WELFARE CAN BUY ARE FAIR And I've long said that if you don't like the way the free stuff comes, you don't have to take it. This column by Ari Armstrong on the libertarian position on SNAP benefits limiting the purchase of soda and other crap is worth a read.
REP WEINBERG IS IN MORE TROUBLE And it's coming from his right in the form of a complaint levied by Rep. Brandi Bradley, who has tangled with him already about his gross behavior towards women. Now she alleges he misused campaign funds and based on some of the spending detailed in this article it does seem he has some explaining to do. We'll see what happens.

THE PERFECT EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE LEFT SUPPORTS HAMAS This woman named Melanie Phillips is a journalist and longtime writer who has moved from left to right over her life. She crystallizes so much about the mind of the progressive left.
This same theory can be applied to so much of the Left mind. It's not about the actual THING, it's about what the THING says about THEM.

CAN WASH PARK STOP A PLANNED ROAD DIET? We already know CDOT doesn't give a rat's ass about drivers. They want to make driving so miserable we will beg to get on buses. Now they want to give Alameda Avenue through Wash Park a haircut and make more room for bike lanes and the neighborhood isn't happy. Will they be well enough organized and connected to stop it? If they can't, no one can.
NO EPSTEIN GRAND JURY FILES FOR YOU As the judge has declined to make them public. I don't think we would have gotten anything substantial from them anyway, and frankly, I'm not super happy with the precedent that releasing grand jury testimony would set. After initial hope they would be released I'm now more retrospect about the issue. I'd rather see Ghislaine Maxwell testify before Congress.
ONE OF THE MOTORCYCLE DEATHS WAS A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT and again, if you're riding a motorcycle why in the world would you want to mix it up with a car or truck? The story here is that the cyclists were being aholes, fired a gun a car, and then the car pushed the bike into traffic, killing one of the riders. I'm sorry, but everyone in this story is an idiot if this is how it happened.
TWO SELLOUTS AT COORS FIELD! Oh, not to see the Rockies, but to see the Savannah Bananas who have shot to fame because of the internet and their sick dance moves. They sold out two "games" this past weekend. Maybe the Rockies should wear banana costumes and see if that would help.
I WONDER HOW MANY MORE RESTAURANTS THIS WILL KILL IN DENVER? Denver's minimum wage will approach $20 next year. This will kill more small business but whatev.

PLEASE PRAY THIS JUDGE MAKES THE RIGHT DECISION Jose Barco served his country honorably in the military and was told by the US Army that doing so would be his path to citizenship. When he returned from multiple combat deployments, he committed a crime and served time in prison and has kept his nose clean since his release. The Army didn't do the paperwork he was promised EVER, and now he's facing deportation. This man deserves a break, so say a prayer that the judge will grant him grace and let the Army do what they promised to do for him in the first place.
DIA STUDIES SMALL MODULAR REACTORS...OR DO THEY? First we hear that DIA is looking at Small Modular Reactors to give them the reliable power they need to run the airport. Now we see that maybe they aren't looking at that at all. But they did submit a Request for Proposal to study the issue, only to rescind that RPF a bit later to:
allow DEN the opportunity to provide an overview of the proposal to the community in District 11 and beyond. Our goal is to present this idea to the community, listen to their feedback, and understand what they would like to see included in the feasibility study."
This means a bunch of people ignorant about small nuclear reactors are going to throw up a whole bunch of roadblocks to getting this done.

YES DC IS BROKEN AND NEEDS SHOCK THERAPY And that is what President Trump says he's going to deliver. Just up front, everything he's doing is LEGALLY ALLOWED. He's not gone rogue. And DC needs big ideas done bigly. This column does a great job explaining just how broken the city is.
