Hands’ off Coloradans’ TABOR refunds! I don’t want to begin to sound like a shill for the Denver Gazette Op-Ed page, but their editorial board mails it once again with THIS OP-ED. Am I the only one infuriated by the Jedi Mind Trick that was the great Colorado Payback (or whatever Lord Polis called it)?! […]
Much Ado About the State of CO The Guv’s State of the State address yesterday. I did not listen. I was working. But I have read the accounts. Apparently, the Guv mentioned one of Weld’s top industries (Agriculture) only in light of the water issue. Hey Guv, ag is more-than-important to Weld County and we […]
TOMA is an old-school radio term – an acronym for “Top of Mind Awareness.” I used to put together “TOMA Sheets” for the radio personalities that I managed – so they could have a general awareness of what is happening at their radio station and in the world. I see so many articles on a […]
Just take a quick look at what's in the news. It's as if the Apostle Paul wrote Romans last week...
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 […]
On an entirely personal note, I’d be honored if you’d join me at the 100th Annual Greeley Stampede for a new tradition (quick – tickets are extremely limited and will sell out fast!
@WSJOpinion - #Fauci wants to be hailed. Forget the #Judicial branch, he wants the CDC branch. You either believe in the power of the individual or the power of government. I choose the #Individual.
The rush to renewable energy is on. Not necessarily because the consumer is demanding it and the free market is responding. It’s because Governor Polis waved his magic wand and said that all Colorado energy will be renewable by 2040. Not because energy producers said the goal is reasonable and requested by consumers. 2040 is […]
These are not my words, they are the words of PayPal founder Peter Thiel. Mr. Thiel recently gave a keynote address to Bitcoin 2022 in Miami. The venture capitalist states that the environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) standard is perhaps the real enemy of cryptocurrency, comparing the movement to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). […]
That seemingly does nothing… I’m just going to ignore the fact that I have not posted since February 21. But damnit, I’m busy. I write this on Friday 4/8 in advance of my third trip to Denver this week. Mind you, my office is at Weld County’s seat – 1150 O Street in Greeley. However, […]
It’s been a long time since I posted here on my personal blog. This tidbit made me want to find my password. Remember that old line from the TV show To Tell The Truth? Most of you won’t – my Boomer is showing. The Governor of our great state sounds like two different people and […]
Quick comment: I sit down to have coffee and read the newspaper, and my head explodes. If my wife wouldn’t have stopped listening to me years ago, I wouldn’t have to write these posts just to get this stuff off my chest. But I do. Anyone who is even a fleeting Colorado sports fan – […]
I love Abraham Lincoln. He’s on my Top 5 POSTUS list. So maybe I’m a bit too triggered on this one. On Saturday, the Twitter account @FordsTheatreNPS, the official account of the Ford’s Theatre National Historic Site, which is part of the National Park Service, tweeted… Um. Not too sure what to think. “A useful, […]
