From Wiki, the source of all knowledge: Omar Nelson Bradley (February 12, 1893 – April 8, 1981) was a senior officer of the United States Army during and after World War II, rising to the rank of General of the Army. Bradley was the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and oversaw the […]
The Oxford Union just came on my radar. Somehow I don’t think the Oxford Union cares. I googled them. I didn’t read the results because I don’t have time right now. But I will. All I know is it looks very snobby and British. Which is fine if you’re into that. Apparently hosting debates is […]
This website has been silent since October 27, which is nothing overly different. It will fall silent for days, weeks, and sometimes months at a time because I get caught up in the busyness of life and after all, this personal page is just a “hobby.” But I woke up at 2 A.M. this morning […]
I just really feel called right now to deliver on the Jesus and the Average Joe idea. And it scares me. I’m a public servant – a county commissioner and a disc jockey. I’m no pastor. I’m no great man of the cloth. But I reread my writings HERE and HERE and HERE. The Holy […]
Just take a quick look at what's in the news. It's as if the Apostle Paul wrote Romans last week...
I was an impressionable 18-year old kid – Colorado State FFA Vice President – attending national FFA Convention in Kansas City in November 1981. Susie Barrett was the National Vice President from the Eastern Region and in her retiring address she quoted poetry. Poetry! I’m a redneck from LaSalle, Colorado, and we don’t do poetry. […]
I write this on Sunday of the three-day Memorial Day weekend. Like most Americans, I enjoy the extra day off. I worked in the yard and went to see Top Gun: Maverick yesterday (It’s really cheesy and good!). I’ll do a little more yard work and celebrate my brother’s birthday today. More yard work tomorrow […]
First thing, know that’s not my headline. I stole it from Rachel Gabel. It’s the title of her opinion piece that appears in Colorado Politics HERE and the Denver Gazette HERE. I’m stealing it because it’s poetic. I’m stealing it because it damn near made me cry. Please read the piece to get a perspective […]
The nation experienced another tragic school massacre yesterday. On cue, the same old arguments have emerged and I, for one, tire of the same old arguments. It’s not about guns. It’s about societal rot—the decay of a nation’s soul. Does this nation no longer believe in the sanctity of life? Today, I see the repeated […]
I have been called a lot of things since I became a public servant over 20-years ago, but this one surprised me. I am a Christain. That is the foundation of my worldview. I derive my moral compass from the teachings of Jesus Christ and I try to emulate his life. I fail every day […]
ColoradoCommonSense is lacking. The middle is lost. By the way, the middle isn't bad - that is where 80% of us are. @GlennBeck had @JonHaidt on his weekend podcast. It reflected my thoughts and gave me hope. I dissect that show here.
We woke up in a different world that next morning – if we slept at all. We sat glued to our TVs watching images we could hardly believe. We were certainly under attack, but they didn’t hit us with missiles, bombs, or artillery – they hit us with our own planes! As we watched those […]
I’ll try to discipline myself and keep the word count low. I’ll break it out over several different posts. But it begins with a video from Bill Maher. Trust me, I have very little politically in common with Bill Maher. He is a big-state, far-left, creature-of-Hollywood guy. The self-righteousness, condescending, let-me-tell-you-how-to-live-your-life pretense drips from this […]
No. Not this type of lie. The kind you tell out of fear. To me, this all makes perfect sense. Let’s see if I can tie a seemingly random – almost odd, in light of the circumstances – question from New York Post reporter Steven Nelson together with COVID-19 and the general state of our […]
