WHY ARE THEIR RACIAL PREFERENCES IN THE DPS CONTRACT? I've got Erin Lee from Protect Kids Colorado on the show at 12:30 to discuss the new union contract that requires racial preferences in hiring and training and is clearly in violation of edicts handed down by the Trump administration. Read more about that here. And then there's this, where Denver Public Schools is also changing more bathrooms to "all gender" bathrooms in defiance of the order as well. The Trump admin is already aware of the latter as you can see below. Lots to chat about today.

HE NOT SO SPECIAL SESSION IS OVER And Democrats, instead of looking at cutting anything, just raised taxes on businesses instead. And I say that because not a single Republican voted to raise taxes on small business, and every bill brought forth by Republicans was killed on the very first day of the session. So what happened? The Denver Gazette has this wrap up:

Five tax bills passed along party-lines in both chambers, offered by the majority Democrats in the House. The measures are designed to raise general fund revenue to cover a portion of the shortfall. The fiscal notes said they could raise as much as $253.2 million. But the rest is now up to Gov. Jared Polis, who will present a spending reduction plan to the Joint Budget Committee on Thursday afternoon that could cover another third of the shortfall. The state's general fund reserve, set at 15% of general fund spending, or $2.33 billion, will cover the last third.Those dollars, however, will have to be recovered in the 2026-27 budget — and, already, the June 2025 revenue forecast showed that budget would start with about $700 million in the red.

Hmmm, why, if they "fixed" the issues that were "created" by HR 1 would be we starting the next budget year in the red? Could it be that it ISN'T HR1, it is the massive overspending we've seen since 2019 when Democrats took everything over? Member of the Joint Budget Committee Barb Kirkmeyer joins me at 2:30 to talk about it all. Here is a list of the eleven bills, only one of which got any Republican votes, that were passed by Democrats this year.

DEMOCRATS CONDEMNED A PRIVATE CITIZEN And in the process impugned the character of House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese. This all goes back to a childish photo taken of a Democrat lawmaker who chose her outfit poorly for the House. The photo was then shared on a Signal chat among GOP lawmakers who made nasty comments about her appearance in the chat. Someone then leaked the photo to someone on X and it became public and typical internet nastiness ensued. The Representative who started the whole kerfuffle had already announced he was leaving the House in September, so when Ryan Armagost heard he was going to be censured for it, he dipped early. But the Democrats can't miss a chance to be drama queens and act like this is beyond the pale in politics so they decided to have a "resolution" saying what a bad, bad man Armagost is and the Republicans were like what? Then Dem leadership said Rose Pugliese was part of the problem even after she showed evidence that she wasn't. If this reads like a middle school soap opera good, that's what it is. I know Rose as a person, and I'm here to tell you she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. The Dems did her dirty and they know it.

TRUMP SAYS HE'S SENDING TROOPS TO CHICAGO And I am a hard pass on this plan unless and until the city of Chicago asks for help and so far they are NOT interested. What's interesting is that violent crime is WAY down in places like Chicago and Baltimore. Not great, but still way down. I was 100% in favor of troops to clean up DC because it's our nation's capital and I think that matters, plus Trump had the authority to take action there. He does not have the same authority in other cities, but he seems to be pushing to put the National Guard there anyway.
