4/15/24 Blog: Iran Attacks Israel, And A New Book On Climate Change

WHAT NOW THAT IRAN ATTACKED ISRAEL? I've got Cliff May from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies on at 12:30 to talk about this weekend attacks by Iran against Israel. What will Israel do in response? They have said they will "exact a price" from Iran, but apparently will do so without American help as Biden has said he will not support Israel if they issue a retaliatory strike. I'm Interested to see what Cliff says about this, as the Iranian people are celebrating in the streets over an attack that did almost no damage and hurt a couple of people and a child. See the photo below.

IS ESG INVESTING A SOCIALIST PLOT TO DESTROY CAPITALISM? My guest at 1 says yes and he should know. Paul Tice has spent 40 years on Wall Street and his new book THE RACE TO ZERO: How ESG Investing Will Crater the Global Financial System makes the case. You can read a review from the Wall Street Journal here and buy the book here.

CLIMATOLOGIST DR. DAVID LEGATES SAYS NOT SO FAST ON CLIMATE CHANGE In his new book Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism Dr. Legates he exposes the eco-left with the goal of breaking the back of the climate catastrophist movement and the many policies driven by it that threaten human wellbeing all over the world. Buy the book here and he's on at 2:30.

THE TRUMP HUSH MONEY TRIAL STARTS TODAY And out of ALL the things that Trump has done this is the one I care the least about. I'm pretty sure transactions like this take place every single day between men who don't want their hookups to go public and the women or people they are hooking up with. You can read about it here if you care.

CAN WE GET AHOLD OF TROUBLE AT HOMELESS HOTELS? The Denver Post wrote this article on the changes that are taking place at the Trouble Tree and Meth Western homeless hotels and I am hopeful that they will be enough to bring the excessive number of police and fire calls down to some manageable level. It may be easier for the police to respond to the calls here rather than at various homeless camps, but the neighbors did not sign up for this and deserve better. Read it here.

COULD THERE BE A LAW CHANGE FOR HOA FORECLOSURES The fact that an HOA can foreclose on a home for a fraction of what it's worth to recover HOA fees is appalling to me. Now a couple of new bills are working their way through the legislature to change the way HOA foreclosures work to give the homeowner some of the equity they have built up back. Read about the changes here.

DO YOU WANT TO SEE A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE? This time it's Joe Biden who says it "depends on his behavior" when asked if he would debate Trump. We all know Trump didn't see the point in debating his GOP opponents, a strategy that paid off as he is the nominee. Now news organizations are asking the candidates to commit to schedule of debates and we're just waiting to see if the pressure is enough to force these two into it. Trump has said he would like ten debates with Biden, which is excessive and will never happen, but he's ready to go toe to toe with Joe.

IT'S TAX DAY! So you better file an extension or get them done today. If you file an extension you have to pay what you think you may owe, if anything. Read more here.

RTD CAN'T GET DRIVERS BECAUSE OF VIOLENCE AND DRUG USE But they want us to RIDE the trains and buses. Read this for more.

HOUSE PASSES "ASSAULT WEAPONS" BAN And even defined them very broadly so many semi-automatic pistols would be banned if this measure passes. The good news is it faces a much tougher road in the Senate but this is where we are today. Read it here.

CONGRATS TO THE DU PIONEERS! They won the NCAA Ice Hockey Championship AGAIN! There is a big celebration planned for today at 6pm at Magness Arena, read the details here.

COLORADO DEMOCRATS ARE THE REAL THREAT TO DEMOCRACY And Jon Caldara writes about it here. For people who love to say Trump is a threat to democracy they sure love to trample over the will of the people over and over again.

BILL MAHER TAKES OUT CANADA And of course there is some bad language but it's worth your time. And in this one he calls out "zombie lies" about Canada being a utopia when they clearly aren't.

WHY AREN'T WE GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP? I've spent YEARS fighting insomnia but recently I've found the secret to amazing sleep: eating right, getting exercise, no booze, and making sure my bedroom is ready for sleep. Lo and behold, I'm sleeping like a baby now. But I am in the minority as more Americans than not are saying they would feel better if they got enough sleep. So how are you sleeping?

BIDEN APPROVED THE IRAN ATTACK But the bigger part of this David Strom column is the shifting winds in the Middle East around these attacks. Both Jordan AND Saudi Arabia joined the US, the UK, and France in knocking Iranian missiles out of the sky. That's kind of a big deal. Strom also makes the case that by giving permission for the Iranian attacks was the best strategy out of many bad ones. We'll see if Israel agrees.

AND NOW THE LEFT IS CHEERING IRAN And I don't mean quietly. I mean loudly at a meeting of anti-war Anti-Semites who are planning to attack the DNC this year. Read this:

But then a man stumbles to the podium, wiping sweat from his forehead. He grabs the microphone to announce that the Islamic regime of Iran has launched missiles and drones heading straight toward Israel.
“They believe that they will be in Palestinian—I don’t call it Israeli—airspace between two and four a.m., which means about two to four hours from now,” he says. “In addition, there are reports of drones having been fired on Israel from Yemen and Iraq.”
The crowd, all wearing black N95s, erupts into applause. Someone in the back lowers their mask to send a celebratory whistle soaring throughout the room.  

It's as if this people are wholly ignorant of who Iran is. Oh wait, they are. Or they just love evil regimes that beat women to death in the streets for not fully covering their bodies. This paragraph made me laugh out loud and I must share it:

A woman in a hot pink gas mask, wielding a matching neon cane and dressed in a “Protect Trans Kids” t-shirt, throws her fist in the air. Nearby, a service poodle is taking a nap under the chair of his owner, who is wearing a leather harness over his t-shirt. Then the group that has joined here from cities across America—Seattle, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles—cheers and claps in celebration. 

These are the people running the "strong and powerful" anti-war movement. Mmmkay. Read more here.

ONE IRANIAN WOMAN CALLS OUT THE NEW IRAN FANS Because the attack on Israel has woken them up to a new friend in Iran, you need to watch this.

SOUTH AMERICAN GANGS ARE RUNNING LOOSE IN LA and I'm wondering HOW they got into the country? JK, we all know they walked across the southern border before they began swarming the cars of jewelers and breaking their car windows and stealing their goods. Thanks, Joe Biden!

TWO MINUTE DRILL!

DENVER IS ONE OF THE HEALTHIEST CITIES We came in 7th in a new list of the healthiest cities, which is totally unsurprising to me. Aurora and Colorado Springs also made the top 100.

LITTLE MAN ICE CREAM OPENS A NEW STORE And this one is close to me, which is dangerous for me. It's in Greenwood Village and you can find it here.

HGTV IS FINDING UGLY HOUSES IN COLORADO And one of the shows I watch Ugliest House in America will premiere April 22nd and features two ugly houses in Sedalia and Jefferson.

WHY BOOKSTORES MAKE YOU POOP I'm not going to say why I wanted to read this article but it's not JUST bookstores. It's an actual thing and it is explained here.

GOT TO TOOT? LET IT FLY! Or end up in the hospital like a Brazilian pop star who held her toots in too long and ended up in the hospital. She now says she will let fly if she has one brewing.
