Jay Davidson, founder of First American State Bank, critically analyzes the Biden administration’s claim of job growth, highlighting that these jobs stem from government largesse, essentially redistributing resources from one group to another. The Biden administration has been touting job growth, with recent reports indicating an addition of 216,000 new jobs in December. However, a closer examination reveals that a significant portion of these jobs are in government, healthcare, and social assistance sectors. This trend is raising concerns about the expanding size and power of the government under President Biden’s leadership. In Colorado, for instance, Democrats have pushed for a ban on plastic bags in grocery stores, a move seen by some as the latest instance of government overreach by leftist policymakers.

Interview with Pam Long
Author Pam Long shares her perspective regarding the Elijah McLain case. The tragic case of 20-year-old Elijah McClain, who died after being injected with a lethal dose of ketamine following his detention for wearing a ski mask in warm weather, resonates deeply with Long. She draws a parallel to a personal incident within the same year, where her 22-year-old son was mistakenly identified as a criminal by Denver police, who tried to coerce him into their vehicle. Reflecting on these incidents, Long advocates for crucial changes in law enforcement practices. She argues that police officers should not have the authority to administer potentially dangerous substances. Additionally, she emphasizes the need for young adults to be educated on how to interact with police officers properly. This, she believes, is essential to prevent instances of brutality or wrongful identification, ultimately safeguarding the lives and rights of individuals. Read Pam’s essay on the subject here.
