And my conclusion isn’t hidden in some secret, inaccessible code no one can look at as the ultimate proof. It’s actually rather obvious after spending an hour watching the public relations video for Tina Peters and Sherronna Bishop. Tina Peters needs to resign. This doesn’t mean Tina can’t fight her voter fraud battle […]
Alex Epstein observes in his new book “Fossil Future” a paradox: “… our culture has infinitely more interest in the fate of polar bear habitats than it has in 3 billion people without energy.” As Epstein points out, anyone knowledgeable about the state of the world today must acknowledge that more human beings are flourishing […]
Part of my job as an editor is to, well, edit. To review copy for facts, spelling and newspaper style. And sometimes make a long story short. It’s a mostly rewarding task. More so when I need only a polishing cloth to make language sparkle. Less so when a wrecking ball is required to demolish […]
The word crops up with increasing regularity in everything from kitchen counter conversations to national news reports. For now, though, there are more questions than answers about the possibility of a recession. When could a recession occur? How severe will a recession be if one does occur? How long will it last?

“Stop the presses.” I always wanted to scream that exclamation at the top of my lungs as an excited newspaper editor eager to remake the front page to include a late-breaking story. I recall a couple of occasions over the course of my career when I not only bumped against press deadlines, but busted them […]
The pieces of the jigsaw puzzle are coming together. That is, if selecting the leaders of the Grand Valley organizations that serve businesses and promote economic and work force development could be considered a metaphorical puzzle. The latest piece to fall into place? The selection of Curtis Englehart as executive director of the Grand Junction […]
In case anyone ever had any questions about why Democrats kept Joe Biden in his basement with a press lid of 10 a.m. during the election cycle, they should have no doubt now. I just got done with my morning devotion and, as usual, its topic was dead on for what I was about […]
Skyrocketing gasoline prices. Exploding home prices and rents. Escalating food costs. Inflationary trends have dominated the thoughts of most people for the past two years. Sometimes citizens make a plaintive outcry for the government to do something, anything, to ease suffering. It’s ironic, though, to ask government to manage out-of-control prices when government interference is […]
