BLUE STATE BLUES: Stalled population growth a sign of Colorado in decline.
Something strange is happening in Colorado — strange enough that the political class should notice.
People are leaving Colorado.
After years of being one of the fastest-growing states in the nation, net in-migration has stopped and may be reversing.
According to Federal Reserve Bank data, the last time Colorado’s population took a dip was 1945. Congrats to our policy makers, who finally achieved something historic no one asked for. The Broncos haven’t won a championship in a decade, but what you’re achieving hasn’t happened in 80 years.
For the first time in 16 years, rents in metro Denver are actually going down. Not “slowing their increase.” Not “rising less quickly.” Going down.
Metro-wide rents are down nearly 5% over the last year. This should set off alarm bells under the Gold Dome. But it won’t.
Before the Democrats took complete control, Colorado was almost always in the top ten states for in-migration. Now it’s in the bottom ten.
YES:
Woke programs are not about helping poor Africans, but 'helping' Western bureaucrats who are supposedly 'helping' poor asylum seekers. Everybody gets helped to a serving of tax dollars.
Follow the money. Once you walk through the door of the Learing Center you're in the…

OH: Chicago schools refuse to hire Christian college student teachers despite lawsuit.
A Christian college, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, continues to be excluded from the Chicago Public Schools student teacher program after suing for religious discrimination, the college’s lawyer told The College Fix.
In an exclusive interview, senior counsel on the case Jeremiah Galus said that as of Jan. 7, Chicago Public Schools still wasn’t allowing Moody’s student teachers to work in its schools.
“Excluding Moody from a public student-teaching program solely because of its religious beliefs violates the First Amendment and serves no one — especially students and families who need more well-prepared teachers,” Galus, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, told The Fix recently.
However, he also said that Moody’s elementary education program, which is at the center of the lawsuit, is still active.
Chicago Public Schools’ Office of Communications refuses to comment.
YES, IT’S HARD TO STRIKE SUCCESSFULLY WHEN YOU PRODUCE NOTHING OF VALUE:
I think what all these “strikes” are missing is that none of these people produce or contribute anything. We are not talking useful people like steelworkers or coal miners.
Like if these types just walk off forever, or the institutions were shuttered, we’d just be better off. https://t.co/C40VelpFrb

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: OH NO! Dem Slacker Mobs Schedule Another Day of Protest Cosplay. “When you see the way the protest mobs are behaving right now — or anytime, really — it’s difficult to believe that any of them have ever held a grown-up job or functioned in polite society. As I wrote in yesterday’s Briefing, they’re ‘feral, reactive beasts’ now. Again, there are worse things I could say there.”

THE RENDERS ARE WILD: A New Challenger Emerges in the F/A-XX Race With Mach 4 Fighter Concept. “Dubbed SM-39 Razor, the aircraft features a low-observable triple-fuselage layout, a configuration intended to help limit wave drag during sustained supersonic flight.”
F/A-XX is late and over budget, of course.

THEY SHOULD TEACH THIS IN SCHOOLS, BUT IT DOESN’T FIT THE NARRATIVE:
The uncomfortable truth they don't teach:
Britain abolished slavery in 1833. The Ottoman Empire didn't officially end it until 1924 – 91 years later.
The Arab slave trade ran for 1,300 years. Barbary pirates enslaved 1.25 million Europeans into the 19th century.
Britain didn't… pic.twitter.com/OVY3FU554U

EVERYTHING THEY DO IS PERFORMATIVE: The Left’s Performative Outrage: They’re always looking for their chance to do a Selma bridge moment.
70/30 NATION:
"The memo notes that the view that 'immigrants living in the U.S. illegally should not be deported' receives no more than 30 percent support among Democrats and young people, and even less among other groups."
And yet Democrats still won't take the hint. https://t.co/fM9mHrGvm2
