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.

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.

A CU REGENT PUTS HER BUSINESS AHEAD OF THE UNIVERSITY And then yells "RACISM" if you point it out. Jimmy Sengenberger writes here about how Wanda James, who is a CU Regent who also owns pot stores, worked to get money to study high potency pot at the university pulled. She also threw a fake racism conniption fit over the "Tea on THC" campaign put out by the public health department, alleging that since one cartoon image was of a black child in the womb, the campaign was racist. She ignored the white babies that were also depicted in utero because this was never about racism, it's about protecting her business from information that might make people think twice about smoking pot.
