Just when you thought Colorado couldn’t possibly need any more legislation, Gov. Jarod Polis shows up again and again on your Facebook wall signing into law another piece of recently passed legislation with smiling supporters in the background. And Facebook users better get used to seeing these posts, because our state legislature passed 485 pieces […]
Partly so the citizens of Grand Junction and Mesa County don’t have to “regret” Jason Nguyen fulfilling a full term of him ramming his personal agenda down our throats. But more importantly, Councilman Jason wants to be able to do his dirty work as Just Jason in the shadows. Because Councilman Jason is now doing […]
“The future’s not ours to see, que sera, sera,” is a lyric from a song by Doris Day. While the future may be unknown, there are definitely knowns in life. For students happily tossing their mortar boards in the air following graduation from high school or college, one known will be the need to find […]
And, yes, I’m writing this column mostly for the benefit of the Mesa County Republican Party, its leadership and overzealous minions who up until today thought presidential pardons were a bad thing. Let’s begin by first stating presidential pardons are indeed bad things. Because they pardon criminals who’ve been convicted of crimes. As a matter […]
This is the only statement which we can make related to a post from Jason in a private group on Facebook. There is no “context” to be parsed or question to be asked by what he meant with his post. What he thinks about a good percentage of the population of Grand Junction and how […]
And yes, I can guess your approximate age if you get the first part of the headline. That said, it was a very effective ad campaign for Wendy’s back in the day, when chicken nuggets were becoming all the rage at fast-food franchises across the country. The meaning behind the ad, and the very negative, […]

Tariffs are a tool to regulate foreign trade and protect domestic industries. Countries throughout the […]
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 […]
