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.

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?

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 […]
