A Denver City Council committee on Wednesday advanced a measure that would ban sales of most flavored tobacco and nicotine products in the city, despite strong objections from the industry and retailers that sell e-cigarettes and vapes. The council’s Safety, Housing, Education & Homelessness Committee voted 6-1 to move the ban on for consideration at the full council.

Rumors are percolating that Trump may replace Pete Hegseth's SecDef nomination with a possible DeSantis nod, but Scott Jennings was still on CNN in MAGA defense mode, attacking the media for posting Penelope Hegseth's email to her son castigating him for his abusive treatment of women. This email wasn't just an old, how are you son?

On Tuesday evening on CNN, New York trial attorney Arthur Aidala discussed how Pete Hegseth's mother would be handled going on Fox News and mocked him for bringing his mom to a job interview. AIDALA: His mom's got to give an explanation as to what made her say that. PHILLIPS: Does he deny it or does he does or does he acknowledge? AIDALA: Well, you know, there's an expression we say you admit what you can't deny, but you deny what you can admit. So if there are certain things that he cannot, if there's certain things he cannot deny, like he was a certain place at a certain time or there's documents and he can't deny it, then you then he can't deny it. But if there's some things that you could kind of hold back because people don't know about it, it's so much of it, Abby, is spur of the moment.

Penelope Hegseth joined Fox and Friends this morning for a lengthy interview to try and revive her son's candidacy for SecDef by claiming Pete is a completely different man today while bashing the media. Hegseth's mother did her best to try and take back the vicious email she sent her son for his constant attacks on women. When a parent writes such a demonstrative email against her own child, we know something is very,very wrong with that child. HEGSETH: Right, let's go back seven years, which if we all went back seven years, we would see that maybe we were not the people we are today, but they were going through, Pete and his wife at the time, were going through a very difficult divorce. It was a very emotional time, and I'm sure many of you across the country understand how difficult divorce is on a family.

From K through graduate school, America’s children are being taught by people holding utterly vile, lunatic ideas.

Biden is doing everything he can to thwart Trump’s upcoming presidency, but he’s not going to get the House to cooperate with him anymore.
