Wake up. It’s Time.

April 26, 2025 by Scott K. James

After a tough season, it’s time to speak up, stand tall, and reclaim what matters. A new voice rises with the promise of spring renewal.

Group seeks to repeal disastrous wolf reintroduction

January 5, 2025 by Scott K. James

Colorado ranchers and voters are reigniting the fight against wolf reintroduction, filing a ballot to repeal Proposition 114. Wolves may inspire Disney-level wilderness dreams, but their reality is racking up livestock kills and sky-high compensation claims. Frontier spirit clashes with big-city fantasies as rural livelihoods hang in the balance of a wolf-infested Wild West.

January 3, 2025 by Scott K. James

Colorado’s cage-free egg law is cracking more than eggshells—it’s cracking bank accounts. Dive into the madness of inflated prices and Denver elites clucking their self-righteousness over affordability.

Judges Behaving Badly? Colorado’s Supreme Scandals & the Fight to Rebuild Trust

December 16, 2024 by Scott K. James

Colorado’s Supreme Court is no stranger to controversy, with scandals like the “pay for silence” debacle and whistleblower allegations of misconduct. What happened to justice? Dive into the scandals that rocked our judiciary and the reforms aimed at restoring faith in the gavel. Is trust still in session?

Chicken suits, police escorts, and the First Amendment

April 8, 2024 by Scott K. James

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution A couple […]

The things we do for clicks

April 2, 2024 by Scott K. James

I spent over 40-years of my life behind a microphone and with the exception of 3 of those years when I did political talk, I was a good, old fashioned, flame-throwin’, fire-spittin’, hot-rockin’ dee-jay. Yes, I was also in management and, yes, I hated the term “DJ.” (Post-1995, with the advent of digital audio, there […]

Denver tells illegal immigrants, “The opportunities are over.”

April 1, 2024 by Scott K. James

So will they repeal their sanctuary city status? When their budget faces a $180 million deficit because of it, they likely should. But will they? Let me just repeat this again for the record… Weld County is not a sanctuary county. Me, for the thousandth time, already. I don’t care what you have read on some website […]

For all the talk about renewables, coal is still king

March 31, 2024 by The Folks

The Guv and the state legislature set many loft goals of 100% renewables by 2040. I agree with the phasing out of coal. But the leap to renewables in such a short time – well, you just can’t get there from here. The state legislature seems hell bent in mandating electrification and renewable usage. It’s […]

One more fee scheme bypasses the voters to build the Guv’s choo-choo

March 30, 2024 by The Folks

I will be outspoken and critical of this piece of legislation – Senate Bill 24-184 is yet another scheme cooked up by Colorado democrats to arm sweep money from the states poorly funded system of roadways to build the Guv a choo-choo. Pardon my cynicism. The funny thing about trains – when surveyed, people love the idea. […]

Colorado legislators use your money for an illegal migrant welcome mat

March 28, 2024 by Scott K. James

I do not care what any website or news media outlet says, Weld County is not a sanctuary county. Just in case I was unclear, Weld County is not a sanctuary county. It’s amazing the misinformation that floats around social media. No action ever taken by the Board of County Commissioners I serve on or any board […]
