WANDA JAMES CRIES RACISM TO PROTECT HER BUSINESS No one wants to be told their product is harmful, but when your business is pot, it is. Just like if you business is alcohol, it is. Or gambling, or fast food, etc. But CU Regent Wanda James isn't happy about a recent public awareness campaign against high potency pot, so she has declared it "racist" because of the depictions of black babies in utero (along with white babies in utero) and young black kids (and young white kids) in the video about the dangers of high potency pot. Is it racist? Of course not, this is such a transparent attempt by her to stop negative publicity around her highly profitable pot business. Jimmy Sengenberger is the thorn in her side and he's on the show today at 2:30 to talk about this column about it. This is a perfect example of an eye roll worthy cry of racism.

LINDSAY DATKO HAS BEEN BUSY HOLDING JEFFCO SCHOOLS ACCOUNTABLE Demonstrating what some very angry parents are capable of when mad, Lindsay Datko has been the force behind JeffCo Kids First, an organization that aims to put kids at the top of every decision. Seems harmless enough. They have been super busy finding out about all the sexual misconduct happening in JeffCo schools and demanding accountability from a board that seems to believe parents are the problem. Their work is getting noticed by Libs of TikTok, watch this.
