You wanna hear something funny?

Lemme tell y’all what Rep. LaMonica McIver just said to Secretary Mullin during the hearing. Paraphrasing but you get the gist…

“You wanna talk about racism and everything… tell me why every person locked up in Delaney Hall is a foreigner?” 🤡

Who’s gonna tell her that ICE facilities ONLY house illegal aliens?

GOOD LORD! Democrats are truly the stupidest breed out there. 😂😂

Here's Joe Biden calling a reporter he didn’t like “a stupid son of a bitch."

Normalized like that?

[Andrew Kolvet @AndrewKolvet]

UNBELIEVABLE. Vice President Vance just did a double take after hearing this wild stat dropped by Dr. Oz:

"You're saying that we kicked off 800 fraudulent healthcare providers off of the Medicare system and not a single one of them called the government and said, 'hey, you made a mistake?'"

"It's just completely insane."

[Colorado Unfiltered @COUnfiltered]

So let me get this straight…

Citizens get pissed that Colorado roads are held together with crack sealant, expired hopes, and orange cones from 2007, so they launch a ballot initiative to constitutionally force transportation money toward… you know… transportation.

And the State Senate’s response is HB26-1430.

A bill specifically designed to basically go:

“Ok sure, you can vote for road funding… but we’re gonna offset it, redirect it, cut fees somewhere else, reshuffle transfers, and accountant-ninja kick the actual impact into another dimension.”

That is objectively insane behavior.

Imagine your wife gives you grocery money and instead of buying groceries you buy Pokémon cards, vape juice, and a fog machine. Then when she locks the grocery money in a safe you respond by taking money out of the electric bill to buy the same dumb shit anyway.

That’s basically what this is.

The entire point of the citizen initiative was:
• Stop diverting transportation money
• Prioritize roads
• Force long-term infrastructure funding
• Prevent the yearly budget shell game

And the legislature looked at that and said:
“Counterpoint: what if we keep the shell game?”

Colorado government has become addicted to moving money around like a drunk guy shifting debt between credit cards while insisting he’s financially responsible because he used a different Visa this month.

And before somebody screams “BUT THE BUDGET,” congratulations, you just identified the actual issue:
The state doesn’t have a revenue problem. It has a spending priority problem.

You cannot tell people there’s “no money for roads” while simultaneously funding 9 million studies, 47 advisory committees, pilot programs that never end, and bureaucratic ecosystems that reproduce like rabbits the second federal grant money appears.

HB26-1430 is basically lawmakers looking voters dead in the eyes and saying:
“Aw that’s cute. You thought ballot initiatives still controlled government.”

@TrentTelenko The only place Russian tankers need to turn off AIS is in the Black Sea.

There is no reason for them to do so in the North Atlantic or the Caribbean.

Further they deserve to be "damned" in a non-literal sense since they're the ones who invaded Ukraine.

Our No Kings March last November was better.

Wow

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

@sirDukeDevin 77 million. Totally peaceful.

The House.
The Senate.
The President.

[trinko @trinko]

It's time to end massive government spending.

Start with this bogus "continuing resolution".

[Bo Snerdley @BoSnerdley]

Same old political rot. Endless spending, endless slush funds for Democrats - or else- they'll blame GOP for shutting down the government.

[Students for Life of America | Pro-Life Gen @StudentsforLife]

The Left really showed how “loving and tolerant” they were when hundreds of abortion supporters and ANTIFA mobbed Lydia at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Lydia heard a lot of screaming and cursing, but absolutely zero logic from her protestors. Stay tuned, more content from this day to come!

[Adam Housley @adamhousley]

With all due respect Senator. Imagine ignoring them for months and months and then using them as a pawn to get your pork-filled bill through. That’s heartless.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

No, sir

The offenders here are those who write 1,500-page spending bills in secret & spring them on their colleagues days before Christmas with no time to debate or even read them

And then they accuse anyone who cries foul of trying to cause a government shutdown!

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

Dr. Judith Curry (@curryja) explains in this short video why there is no “climate crisis.” She also explains what scientists actually agree on when it comes to the “consensus,” and what they disagree on.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Yes.

[trinko @trinko]

@RepNancyMace I think we should stop calling it "gender affirming" since that sounds good.

We should call it castrating children.

[Dr. Simon @goddek]

This tiny white square is man-made CO2—0.0016% of the atmosphere.

They’re taxing you, robbing your income, and controlling your life over something essential for plants and a greener planet.

Climate alarmism isn’t science—it’s a scam. Wake the fvck up!
