GoFundMe Day 2 -- THANK YOU to everyone who's contributed so far
I hope you will consider helping my friend who was riding his motorcycle when a car turned into him, sent him flying about 50 feet, broke a bunch of bones, and ended up with one of his feet amputated.

Just One Thing: Heat records being crushed
Yesterday was the warmest March day in the history of Denver, a record likely to be broken today and/or tomorrow. I know lots of folks will talk about "climate change". And it's not impossible that there's a factor there but it's important not to confuse weather with climate. Anyway, I'm not looking for a climate change debate today. Just sharing the news.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr has gone off the deep end. It's very disappointing. I've had him on the show quite a few times in the past (before he was chairman) and he was always the voice of reason. His desire to lick Trump's boots has gotten the better of him.

Wow, who would have thought that people would flee excessive taxation? Pretty incredible for Hochul to think that lots of rich people would decide to stay in New York and pay high taxes specifically for the purpose of supporting their overgenerous social welfare programs, i.e. redistribution of income from those who earned it to those who didn't.
