I shouldn’t read the news before bed. Because of such an error one night, I was pondering the idiotic political theater of sending troops to “war”-torn Portland when I fell into uneased sleep. I found myself at Denver’s Coors Field. The game had barely begun when glares exchanged between the Colorado Rockies and visiting SF…
DetailsSo much to talk about. — About the Epstein files. Republicans said they were ready to release them once. — About government censorship. Six million TV viewers and 18 million Youtubers are talking about it after tuning into Jimmy Kimmel’s return. — About our president’s unhinged and disgraceful speech to the United Nations – if…
DetailsI know your first question: “Will the speech police be masked?” Why, of course. This’ll scare the bejeebers out of the libs: yet another federal police force on the streets – each member in riot gear and wearing the military-issue likeness of JD Vance. When they press you as to what you’ve been thinking —…
DetailsNow we know about the shooter. He was a white supremacist, captivated and motivated by the right-wing “manosphere,” and of course a nation’s gun fanaticism. But he’s dead now, sucked into a vortex of hate. Sorry if that first paragraph description misled you. As I write this, I am thinking of a shooter who didn’t…
DetailsIt’ll be one year this week. One year ago. Sept. 10, 2024. I know you haven’t been reminded about the anniversary, and that’s not right. I’m here to remind you. If ours were an enlightened society, an exceptional society as anti-woke patriots claim, we’d remark on the anniversary with ceremonies, with discussion panels, with classroom…
DetailsThe reader’s email had a preaching tone. The writer spoke as if I hadn’t heard the Good News, and as if the Almighty had chosen her to proclaim it. In rubbing out diversity and equity programs, she wrote, our president had taken a historic turn. Whatever considerations once drove personnel decisions across this land, under…
DetailsNoe Fermin Guerrero-Mendieta was arrested for being brown. ICE storm troopers broke through his car window and arrested him for being a dangerous criminal. No, the Mexican national is here legally and was headed to his construction job. That’s the color of justice in 2025. Fortunately, good people in Waco, Texas, where he’s resided for…
DetailsNot one in 100 Americans can tell you what “Abscam” stands for. Make that one in a thousand. It meant a lot in 1978 – an FBI sting behind the biggest bribery scandal in congressional history: six U.S. representatives and one senator taking $50,000 payoffs from an agent impersonating an Arab oilman. That’s a lot…
DetailsWith a head of white curls and a face of demurred concern, Rosina Paolini asked for quiet. She wanted to ask, and she wanted to hear – her representative in Congress, Rep. Mike Flood, as he dodged truth like his party’s leader does in every utterance. Paolini was among the 700-plus citizens who flooded a…
DetailsNot that I live in a chalet. But depending on the angle through the trees, towering Longs Peak is in my backyard. Actually, it’s nearly an hour away, tucked into the back seat of Colorado’s Front Range. But 14,259 feet at its summit, across great distances only atmospheric disruptions can shroud Longs’ craggy eminence. We’re…
