Especially when you consider the idea is coming from government. And yes, to the partisan zealots in the Mesa County, Colorado and national Republican Party, even when it comes from your lord and savior, President Donald Trump. I expected the left to go nuts over the president’s idiotic idea of paying $5,000 to “humans who […]
Oops, they did it again. That’s right, after being rejected outright in the latest, ill-timed, usually-low-voter-turnout-to-benefit-progressives, springtime elections, our city council once again generously served up another slice of cake while completely ignoring the voice of the people who screamed loudly on April 8, “We don’t want your ideas, follies or leadership anymore!” I’d say […]
Let me begin by saying I believe the voters of Grand Junction did the right thing in re-electing Cody Kennedy to the city council. I also believe they did the right thing in electing Laurel Cole, Robert Ballard and Ben VanDyke. Of the four, I only know Cody a little bit through email and phone […]
Sure, it’s a poor paraphrasing of the adage saying when seconds count, the police are minutes away. And please note, this isn’t a column about the policing of our communities, although given the evil intent of the legislation I’m going to address, the police in your community are about to become willing or unwilling accomplices […]
I just got done reading and watching a few stories on how our elected betters in Denver are attempting to “balance” the next year’s budget, and I’ll just have to admit I have no idea what the hell they are doing. Then again, it’s become apparent neither do the vast majority of “lawmakers.” Let’s just […]
And that’s whether you declare it as a news story or make it an agenda item for a city council meeting or whether that “agenda item” basically became a doxxing for “up to 20” people who are indeed at risk in their lives. For those of you on the left who believe themselves to be […]
It seems to me that every time we have a “budget crisis” with the federal government the one option never taken is the one that is always hovering above the fracas taking place with our “elected betters” in Congress. And it’s probably the only solution to our spending problems. It’s also the simplest. Just shut […]
Well, news broke recently that the City of Grand Junction was abandoning its plans to acquire the property next door to HomewardBound as the new location to move the homeless resource center. And at The Business Times, we’ve received a few accolades as being a catalyst for this occurrence. I guess that’s fine. I suppose […]
After all, it’s the Democrat way. As this paper is being finalized and published, Colorado’s Senate Bill 003 may have already cleared the house and is sitting on Pontius Polis’ desk for his signature. And while the bill is unconstitutional on its face, I thought I’d try to take some leftist arguments to show those […]
That’s right, every so often I get the silly idea it’s time to take a survey to find out who my reader is. And while it’s always a good idea to have a set of demographics on hand for our advertisers, it’s also a lot of fun (well, relative fun anyways) to read the responses […]
