3/18/25 Blog: Yes, China Is Funding The Green Movement, Plus Jesse Thomas

REMEMBER WHEN I SAID CHINA IS FUNDING THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT? I said it JUST YESTERDAY as something I had read previously but an email from listener Carolynn sent me down the rabbit hole and I found this article from January of this year. I clicked through all the links (you should too) to see exactly how much China is doing to undermine our oil and gas industry using the useful idiots who use money from NGO's and billionaire donors trying to buy dispensation from the mob to fund activities whose sole goal is to undermine our energy independence. How do I know? Because China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases at home and is funding coal fired power plants around the world. You can't ONLY care about greenhouse gases in the US if you are trying to "solve" climate change. We're going deep on this today.

ROCKIES BROADCAST ENGINEER JESSE THOMAS POPS ON TODAY A listener asked me if I'd heard about Jesse's recent Waymo experience and I can't wait. The driverless cars are EVERYWHERE in Phoenix and look sort of creepy looking if you ask me.

WHY DOES SHE STILL HAVE NO STATUS? Immigration Enforcement picked up a woman named Jeanette Vizguerra. If that name seems familiar it's because she took refuge in a church for three years after being threatened with deportation in 2017. She was given a stay by the Biden Admin. This article form CBS 4 says this:

Vizguerra has continued to seek a path to citizenship since entering the U.S. without proper documentation more than two decades ago. She was scheduled for deportation in 2017 but took refuge in a church in Denver and was later granted a stay of deportation by the Biden administration in 2021.

Why doesn't she have legal status? Why, after almost 30 years, is she still up for deportation? I'm genuinely curious here. Does anyone know? Why didn't the Biden admin help her get status if they stayed her deportation? I have so many questions.

FRONTIER AIRLINE IS TRYING TO WOO SOUTHWEST FLIERS And it won't work with me because I despise being nickel and dimed to death and Frontier is the nickel and dime you to death airline. But good on them for trying a free bag for a while to see if they can peel off Southwest's angry customers.

CBZ MANAGMENT REALLY ARE SLUMLORDS As more of their properties are not being maintained properly and are facing shutdown across the metro. I truly don't understand why they don't sell the properties before they neglect all the value out of them. As a landlord who goes to great lengths to take care of my renters this stuff infuriates me because their bad behavior will be used to justify more expensive and stupid regulations on the rest of us.

THEY CAN'T STOP THE CRIMINALS BUT AT LEAST THEY CAN FIND YOUR CAR Denver Police is giving away Air Tags for your car in an effort to further curb out of control car theft. Sure we're down 33% from last year, but we are still getting a crap ton of cars stolen. This editorial points out that Aurora making car theft a crime that requires jail time has reduced car theft EVEN MORE. Too bad the progressives in the Legislature can't connect the dots.

JEFFCO SCHOOLS NEEDS A MAN IN LEADERSHIP I realize how controversial that statement is, but read this column by Jimmy Sengenberger about the dumpster fire backstory to the lack of coherent and effective communication when the Chief of Schools was being investigated for child porn and then killed himself. The text messages uncovered by JeffCo Kids First show a bunch of women deep into their own feelings and circling the wagons instead of clear headed communication about an absolutely horrible situation. This as Columbine administrators may be facing an investigation for their role in declaring a teen girl who was being groomed by a teacher there homeless. Why do I say a man is needed here? Because these women have created a Mean Girls Club at the top and are more worried about having mean things said about them in the press than protecting students. Men don't work like that. There, I said it.

TRUMP TALKS TO PUTIN TODAY So we'll see at the end of the day how serious Putin is about peace. I'm sure Trump will spill the beans on whatever is said. Right now it doesn't look good, as Russia says foreign soldiers in Ukraine to maintain peace is a non-starter. Read more here.

ARE WE GETTING THE JFK FILES TODAY? Trump says yes, but are we? Not sure what we are expecting but the National Archive says that 97% of the documents related to the assassination have already been released.

IS TRUMP BREAKING OR FIXING THE MARKETS? I read this yesterday and realized it reflects my feeling that we are in a period of short term chaos on the way to a much better economy. You can read it and see what you think.

WHO WILL PICK THE CROPS? ROBOTS. This is a super interesting about the technology already available to replace the flow of cheap labor from Central and South America. I've been told for years that robots were too rough on delicate fruits and veggies, but these tech firms are developing systems that can recognize peak ripeness and delicately remove the crops. This is fascinating. Check out this strawberry robot. Yes, it's slow, but it can work 24 hours a day without breaks.

WHY IS THE SPHERE SO BIG??? I know there is a logical explanation for this, but what??? Watch below or click here.

THE COURT RULINGS ARE COMING IN And the higher the cases against Trump policies go up the food chain the more they are being ruled against. It seems that district judges don't have more power than the Presidency after all. Read the latest here.

SHOULD WE PUT TRUCKS ON TRAINS? In an effort to combat I-70 woes through the mountains, one former railroad exec is proposing we put trucks on trains to move them through the mountains. It's not a horrible idea but one that would add even more to the cost of transport, which is always passed onto the consumers. Read it here.

I DON'T LOVE THE WHITE HOUSE DUNKING and again, I realize some of you love this, but for me, it's beneath the dignity of the White House to produce snarky videos of illegal immigrants being deported. Here it is, you decide.

and straight from the "Where Are They Now" files the band Semisonic weighed in to let people know they don't like it either.

SOUTHWEST GASLIGHTS US ALL The CEO probably thought this message was a good idea. It was not. He literally says that open seating and free bags ARE NOT what makes Southwest great. Um, yeah, they were. Now they're gone. We'll see how this goes. Watch below or click here.

THE NEW ROCKIES FOOD THIS YEAR IS MEH They didn't do much creatively imo. The big news is you can get a hot dog and a soda for five bucks now. Read it all here.

WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THE RIGHT KIND OF PROPOGANDA SHOT this is disgusting.

SO YOU WANT A LIGHT SABER? check this bad boy out. Watch below or click here.

JOSH ALLEN GIVING RICH FOLK VIBES And I'm guessing most of us can't relate.

TRUMP GIVES CANADA AS A STATE VIBES

I would point out that "artificial line" is called a border and most of them are pretty much just made up.

DENZEL DROPS TRUTH BOMBS TO THE BUFFS FOOTBALL TEAM And I have to say I LOVE this attitude. Watch below or click here.

TRUMP'S MORALLY SOUND UKRAINE STRATEGY I've not seen this quite laid out as well as it is here. Ukraine will not win the war, and pretending it can with our meandering support that falls short of full scale involvement is a fantasy. Read more here.

NOW EREBODY IS SAYING COVID ESCAPED FROM A WUHAN LAB Which is what SOME of us said from the BEGINNING as Occam's razor is rarely wrong. But guess who ALSO knew way back then?

Oh, and did you read this claptrap from the New York Times? It's paywalled so let me tell you what it says. It says that Fauci and others controlled and manipulated information to lie about the role they likely played in creating a worldwide pandemic. This is my shocked face.

YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY ANTI TRANS? Stories like this one.

Keep pushing and people will most definitely push back.

JOHN STOSSEL DOES IMMIGRATION And as usual he has it right.
