THE MEDIA LEARNS NOTHING FROM THE KIRK SHOOTING I get that there is a level of desperation on the Left to "both sides" the recent political violence. But when the shooting at an ICE facility in Texas broke, they got out ahead of their skis once more to declare the shooter a Neo Nazi with zero evidence to support it. My friend David Strom writes about it here and he joins me at 2:30 to talk about it. But MSNBC wasn't the only one doing it, politicians jumped out to make themselves look stupid too.
EPHRAIM DEBISA IS BACK BEHIND BARS...FOR NOW The man who has become the face of the garbage criminal justice reform bill passed by Democrats is back behind bars after showing up on University of Northern Colorado residential apartments waving a gun. Ephraim Ebisa has been arrested numerous times for violent crimes but he keeps getting let out because he's been found incompetent to stand trial. This is a Colorado created problem, as Robert Dear, the man who murdered several people and wounded more in an attack on a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood over a DECADE ago, is STILL in prison awaiting trial on federal charges. So how long with Debisa be behind bars this time? Surely he didn't just get mentally well since his last arrest. Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams, who sounded the alarm about this guy, joins me at 12:30 to discuss it.
DENVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS DOES ZERO DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE HIRING SOMEONE That is the only conclusion that can be drawn from this story about the man named Interim Principal of Denver School of Arts, even though the man is a convicted felon who had his principal's license suspended for a year after a horrible DUI crash that he caused which seriously injured another victim. This place is a clown show. And yet the Superintendent will never face any blame because he's a Superintendent of Color and that's the only metric the School Board cares about apparently.
BUT DENVER CAN CHANGE THE BOARD MAKEUP And you can start by running far far away from these teacher union backed candidates. From where I sit the direction of Denver Public Schools has been set by the teachers unions for years and it's yielded the following results in th e latest CMAS testing:
Here are the latest CMAS results (Spring 2025) for Denver Public Schools (grades 3–8), reported as the % of students who met or exceeded expectations:
All students
ELA: 41.9%
Math: 32.9%.
By student group
Black students: ELA 27.3% | Math 18.4%.
Hispanic/Latino students: ELA 25.0% | Math 16.7%.
Students eligible for Free/Reduced-Price Lunch (FRL): ELA 24.6% | Math 17.3%.
Is this really what we're getting for a budget of $1.5 BILLION dollars? Find the four union backed candidates here, I will be reaching out to their opponents to have them on the show to see if any of them care about student achievement.
YOUR DAD BOD IS NOW IN THE DICTIONARY In the spirit of the late, great Charles Harrington Elster I bring you new words in the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, which just got a big fat overhaul after they went beast mode (now in the dictionary) and tightened things up. Read more here, we shall discuss.
LOTS OF FORMER BRONCOS PLAYERS IN ROUND ONE OF THE HALL OF FAME And what a testament to how good this franchise has been. Not only have a bunch of players, including Rod Smith, made the first list, but Coach Mike Shanahan seems like a first rounder to me. See them all here.
WE'VE GOT A BALLOT INITIATIVE TO ACTUALLY FUND ROADS And here's the kicker, it's all from the money the state collects to fix roads and bridges that they have moved to other BS priorities. I'll be seeking out these petition gatherers to sign today. Read more here.
RENT PRICES IN DENVER ARE DOWN And that's to be expected with the glut of new apartments that have hit the market lately. Our rents are still expensive I think. See them here.
ROSS KAMINSKY ON FREE SPEECH And he responded to an email by a listener who sent it to both of us. The email encapsulates why the free speech argument needs to be absolutist in my view. Read what Ross wrote here.
NUCLEAR IS HAVING A MINUTE As Western Governors are trying to figure out a way to meet the energy demands in the future. This is a good story about a recent meeting on the subject.
THE GAZA FLOTILLA IS GETTING FUNNIER AND FUNNIER So if you missed yesterday's installment of As The Flotilla Turns you might not know that some of the Hamas supporters have quit in a fit of pique that gay people are on board. Somebody call Queers for Palestine. Now, we have this bit of fun from the flotilla itself:

I find this wildly entertaining.
DID UN WORKERS SABOTAGE DONALD TRUMP? It would be 100% on brand for this garbage organization. David Strom has the circumstantial (but strong) evidence here. Too bad he's not Joe Biden and delivered a scorcher for an hour instead of falling apart.
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO JENNIFER GARNER'S DAUGHTER? This is the saddest thing I've ever seen. The daughter of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck managed to find her way to the United Nations where she stood in front of the world to demand we all wear masks for the rest of our lives because COVID. She doesn't need amplification, she needs help. We broke this child.
I'M HERE FOR THE JAMES COMEY PERP WALK Former FBI director James Comey lied to Congress about authorizing the leak that was used to justify the entire Russiagate investigation is about to charged for it. Good. I want to smear his name forever. He deserves it.
THE TRUMP TROLLING CONTINUES Trump just unveiled a new display of Presidential photos outside at the White House. Look what they put for Joe Biden's photo.
This is beyond disrespectful but I have to say Biden kind of earned it. Or the auto pen did anyway.
DISNEY + IS HIKING PRICES Just as my family is going over our subscriptions to save some money. When is this going to cost too much? Now cutting the cord just isn't cost effective like it used to be. Are you cutting back on your streaming now too? I'm curious about this and our spending habits.
NOT EVERYTHING IS A LYNCHING, NAACP I bet you didn't know that a Fountain City Council member has been charged with two felonies for lying on documentation in order to get government benefits. Until today, I didn't know she was black. I know she's black because the Rocky Mountain NAACP has declared this a "political lynching" or something. They are taking issue with a story in the Gazette that they say falsely said this woman's mother is dead (part of the fraud charge) and they are using that as the crux of their argument. They sort of gloss over the fraud charges by saying this:
KRDO13 Investigates asked what she meant by calling this a political lynching, and inquired if Prescott and the Rocky Mountain NAACP thought the two felony fraud charges Duncan was facing were false.
"I'm not saying that. No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying the fact that people are embellishing a story," Duncan said. "They're saying her mother is dead, and they're implying that she had some malicious intent to fraud the system or she's some type of criminal person, or they're implying this, negative intent."
This seems like a dumb thing to declare a lynching to me. Just because she's black doesn't mean she's innocent. It also doesn't mean she's guilty, but how about we let the courts decide before we cast aspersions on the coverage?

I'M GLAD THE ROCKIES CAN LAUGH Because this season has been comically bad.
STOP MOCKING PARENTS SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS This mom lays it out.
KIMMEL GETS A HUGE POP And we'll check back in three months to see if these ratings have fallen back down to where they are now. He got a huge bump on Tuesday night. Maybe this will make Trump shut up about him.
