Isn’t that what elections are all about? We vote every time for some candidate, some law or some tax giving the government the power or money to do the things we want done. And we do it in the worst way — mob rule by votes. Even with this year’s mostly mundane ballot I just […]
And just who might “they” be? As history proves time and again, the usual suspects: The Democrat party, teachers unions and all those “unaffiliated,” leftist candidates. For those of you who don’t know this fact, I can hazard a pretty accurate guess which subjects you didn’t pay attention to in your education — the sub-topic […]
That’s because it would be impossible to make a theater joke without it being offensive or sexual in some way. Imagine just how difficult it’s gonna be for an entire column. Yes, this column is about U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and her self-inflicted wound earlier this month at the theater. See? Even while I tried […]
As I continue to monitor the insanity drama starring our marionette-in-chief, President Joe Biden, something clicked from a most ridiculous source: Hollywood. I suppose I could have used the term Fellini-esque. But with today’s education system … . I digress. Then again, the Biden administration has basically become Hollywood. By that, I mean a horrifically […]
I guess that’s what happens when a life-changing event occurs. Everything is highlighted, enhanced and multiplied exponentially based on the personal importance the event, person or happenstance has in your life. Sadly, I wasn’t paying much attention to these while my life played out. So please bear with me while I wax philosophically — or […]
This is a rule I tend to live by, especially when it comes to situations in which folks say they’re doing something for the good of society, the good of children, the good of women or minorities, the greater good or for your own good. After some inspection, it’s easy to see what and why […]
For anyone who read what my special guest columnist wrote, you have a little more understanding of the headline than those who missed the last edition of the Business Times. For those who missed it, my 21-year-old daughter, Evin, decided she’d write a column for me because I had a darned good reason for missing […]
This column wasn’t written by who you’d expect, but rather one 21-year-old version of him. I’m Evin Hall, Craig Hall’s oldest daughter. As the oldest, I’ve always tried to be the adult — until that is, it was something I didn’t want to do. Then I’d play the “I’m still a kid card.” Even into […]
I got a call the other day from someone many would consider a “community leader.” Yes, I used quotation marks. That’s because most “community leaders” are self-proclaimed or put into their roles by special interest groups. Or they’ve got job titles or own something. Usually a lot of money. There are other ways. But the […]
And let me tell you, between Mesa County and the City of Grand Junction, we live in a cross between the reality show level content of “Girls Gone Wild” and “When Animals Attack.” Although in River City, it seems some folks just watch the trailer, not the actual shows. I’ve always had a curious fascination […]
