THE UNRAVELING OF VICTOR MARX I don't know Cori Kennedy but give this woman a Pulitzer prize for her breakdown of Victor Marx's interview Saturday on KNUS. She did a blow by blow, bit by bit deep dive into Vic's claims and they do NOT stand up to scrutiny. She is joining me at 12:15 to start unpacking it. Peter, who has a long background in martial arts, was especially vexed by the claims Vic is a 7th degree black belt and a 5th degree weapons expert. The truth is Vic's dad gave him those made up titles in a made up form of "Cajun Karate" that isn't really a thing beyond a couple of places in Louisiana where an 11 year old "black belt" was teaching it along with his parents. How do we know his dad gave them him? Vic admitted so in the interview. Today I'm going through Cori's work step by step in the hopes that some of you who are now SUPER mad at ME for calling him out can begin to understand that a man who lies about his past will lie about anything. My dime store analysis of Victor Marx is that he suffered mightily as a child at the hand's of his stepfather and because of that he has zero self esteem so he created this tough guy persona to compensate and now he actually believes his own crap. Nothing he says stands up to closer scrutiny and conveniently everyone who can confirm his stories is dead. Weird how that happens. Read Cori's step by step dismantling of the narrative that Vic used to hoover up money while giving ZERO specifics on how he plans to govern, how he would fix the roads, how he would roll back regulations all with a Democrat Legislature. Read it here. Watch the interview below. And then ask yourself why so many people aren't using any critical thinking to see through this charade.
WE NEED TO REGULATE THE ROBOT REVOLUTION NOW And our futurist Thomas Frey is on with suggestions about how to manage the robots so they don't kill us. Here he suggests a Geneva Convention of sorts for robots to set up a framework. He explains here that any trust in robots can be destroyed in one afternoon. Here he explains the diaper test and here he digs into the Asimov test. Robots are coming to our homes and we need to get on this now before they kill us all. Thomas joins me at 1 to discuss it all.
COLORADO DEMS ARE TRYING TO SCREW US ON ROADS You're not even going to believe this. Yesterday I mentioned a ballot initiative that would force the Legislature to spend money collected for roads on ACTUAL roads and not some pie in the sky multi modal crap. Now the Legislature has responded with Colorado House Bill 26-1430 bill that would significantly restructure transportation funding and reduce key user-based revenue streams contingent upon passage of a that ballot measure. They want to REDUCE the amount of money going to transportation JUST TO SCREW VOTERS WHO WANT THEIR ROADS FIXED. Club 20's Wade Haerle joins me at 2:30 to talk about why they are opposed to this awful and hateful bill. When Democrats show you who they are, pay attention.
DENVER'S ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN IS UNDER FIRE Denver has an assault weapons ban, did you know? I didn't and apparently it's been a thing for 37 years. Now the Trump Department of Justice is making noise about coming after it and Denver is defiantly saying "HANDS OFF OUR BAN". This is the perfect example of idiotic gun laws that do nothing. I can buy a so-called assault weapon in Douglas County and then drive to Denver if I want to commit a crime. There is no one checking me at the border. But it allows progressives like Mike Johnston to crow about "doing something" while he ignores the crime stats in Denver. Gun crimes are overwhelmingly committed using a pistol. That is a fact. And Denver's homicides spiked dramatically in the last five years before dropping dramatically to a multi decade low, all while the assault weapons ban was in place. It has ZERO impact on gun crimes, and yet, the City of Denver is about to spend a bunch of money defending it anyway so they can say WE DID SOMETHING. Police Chief Ron Thomas said this:
Of the 2,100 guns that were recovered by Denver police last year, Thomas said that less than 40 — or 2%— were assault-style weapons.
I just checked, and rifles are used nationally is 2.8%, and that includes most places WITHOUT such a ban. They do nothing. Nothing at all. As a matter of fact gun free zones are correlated with a higher level of gun related injury. But don't let the facts get in the way.
SIXTY SIX PERCENT OF DEMOCRATS THINK SOCIALISM IS SWELL This is so awful but it explains a good bit about why we are so polarized these days. A new survey shows that 66% of Democrats view socialism favorably, while only 42% view capitalism favorably. This is the end result of a university system infested with Anti-American professors who can't make it in the real world if you ask me. But that's not what this column is about. It is about the REALITY of socialism instead of the made up fantasy favored by Democrats. It is a must read and I hope Democrats can find the time to do so.

THE MILLENIUM FALCON SELLS FOR 350K Well not the ACTUAL Millenium Falcon, but a carefully constructed version of the original model used to make the film. It was built by a Castle Rock man and it sold at auction for a small fortune. Good for this nerd! He's now on to building a replica of the Death Star.
BOULDER HOMEOWNERS SHOOT FOR THE SKY WITH SUNDANCE RENTAL PRICES And though this story from 9News poo poos the strategy I've seen what nice homes get in Kentucky for the Derby so I say go for it and ask for the moon. I know people in Louisville who rent their houses out during Derby week for crazy prices and pay their mortgage for the year. Why not try it and see if it works? You better make sure your property lives up to expectations though.
RENTERS AREN'T PLANNING ON BUYING ANYTIME SOON And just 25% of them say they are looking to buy this year. That's the lowest numbers since Gallup started asking the question. This seems really low to me, but I'm not renter. We are going to need a pretty sharp market correction before these folks jump in is what I think.
JUST SAY NOT TO INFLIGHT CALLS This is my nightmare. Imagine being stuck next to someone who talks on the phone for the entire flight. It is happening. British Airways is now allowing phone calls. Back in the day when I was a flight attendant we actually HAD phones that you could use to call someone, but they came with a super high price tag so no one ever used them and if they did, it was a brief call. But this is a bridge too far for me. I hate this already.
ISRAEL GETS READY TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS By announcing they are gearing up for more attacks on Iran directly, going after what's left of the senior leadership and energy infrastructure. There will be no crying about energy infrastructure being a war crime this time, as Iran has repeatedly targeted such infrastructure in the UAE. That is backfiring, as the UAE is now cooperating with Israel for their defense. For Israel, anything short of regime change is a failure. I'm with Israel on this and I think Trump is too.

SWEDEN TELLS IMMIGRANTS TO SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT The notoriously welcoming Nordic state has been undone by unfettered third world migration. This story from HotAir.com gives you the history, from when Sweden was a safe and relatively homogenous country where people all shared the same ethics and values to a place with the highest rate of gangland killings in the EU and No-Go zones where police were afraid to go. Now they are reversing course. The only question is whether or not it's in time.
