Colofornia Rant

 

Colorado Roads

An op-ed that I agree with. 

MORE

 Every time I drive on State Highways, I loathe (P)regresives more. Add to that, their weasel way of raising taxes by calling them fees. What this state desperately needs is DOGE.

 Virtue Signaling on Steroids

Colofornia (P)regressives once again waste time and money requiring warning labels on gas pumps!

 UPDATE: Even Emperor Polis couldn’t stomach this. He, and his fellow travelers, have killed the bill. Expect it to resurface somewhere in the future.

Blog Name

Recently I was asked where my blog, “WellSeasonedFool”, comes from. I refer them to the info, “rolling down the road proving there is no fool like an old fool”.

It is a constant reminder to not take myself to seriously; a personal trait I need to remember daily.

As always, YMMV

Mineral Wars

 

Tungsten

At the moment there are zero active tungsten mines in the United States. Sweet irony, there are several closed tungsten mines in Boulder County, Colorado. A coming conflict?

 Colofornia has many mineral in economically feasible quantities. Our imported trust fund snots and associated econazis say, NIMBY. Hopefully, PDJT will swat them like mosquitoes. China cut us off from minerals? We have our own, we know where those minerals are located, and the primary obstacle to extract them is political.

The influx of trust fund snots over the years has taken over many of the ‘quaint’ mountain towns. A lot of money is needed to live in, say, Telluride. How many know what telluride is, and its value? All that valuable ore is still there and starting new mining is feasible, if the political will is in force.

 “Telluride has various uses, primarily as a material in solar cells and thermoelectric devices, as well as in rubber vulcanization and semiconductor applications. It's also used to tint glass and ceramics, in rewritable CDs and DVDs, and as a catalyst in oil refining. The Kia Telluride is a popular mid-size SUV. 

Here's a more detailed look at the uses of telluride:

·        Solar Cells and Thermoelectric Devices:

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is a key material in the production of solar panels, according to Wikipedia. Tellurium is also used in thermoelectric devices, which convert temperature differences into electrical energy. 

·        Rubber Vulcanization:

Tellurium has been used to vulcanize rubber, a process that improves its elasticity and durability, notes The Royal Society of Chemistry. 

·        Semiconductor Applications:

Tellurium can be doped with other elements like silver, gold, copper, or tin to create semiconductors, which are essential components in electronic devices. 

·        Other Uses:

Tellurium is also used to tint glass and ceramics, in rewritable CDs and DVDs, and as a catalyst in oil refining

All that valuable ore is still there and starting new mining is feasible, if the political will is in force.

Will mining return to Colorado? It will be a huge political fight.

 As Always, YMMV

Gutless Wonder – wants to be President

Can’t even show his face as he signs into law Colofornias newest gun law. The proponents know it is unconstitutional. Doesn’t matter, we will live with it for years as the challenges work through the courts. That is the new tactic gun grabber tactic.

Wolves

Yes, WSF is still interested in the wolf issues.

MORE

Canadian wolves were not native to Colorado. What was native was Mexican gray wolves.

  At only 25–32 inches tall, the Mexican gray wolf is smaller than its cousin, the gray wolf (Canis lupus) of the northern Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest. Mexican gray wolves have historically lived across the southwest of the U.S. and Mexico.

Is it reactionary on my part to suggest this is what we should be re-introducing, if we must reintroduce wolves?

(P)regressive in Charge

Medicare payments being made for dead people. Oh well, only about $2 per residents 18 or over.

I can live, grumbling, with woke people in charge if, faint hope, they are competent. This past session was spent on woke issues while the basic needs of roads, prisons, etc., were ignored. Take that, Trump Derangement Syndrome is full force. By all ‘holy’, we will show that Colofornia opposes everything PDJT’s voters want.

Another example of wokeism by our (P)regressive “leaders”?

Cancer Cure?

Just last night I heard the opinion,

“There is a cure for cancer that is hidden because the pharmacy industry doesn’t want to lose their profits”.

Common sentiment.

I’m not sure. A cousin, brilliant mind, has spent most of his life researching cancer in labs. He recently lost his wife to cancer; a not uncommon event for those in the medical field. I’m sure he looked into everything that would save her life.

That said, potential treatments that don’t meet orthodox entrenched thinking get ignored or quashed.

 Senator Useless and Trust Fund Snots

Already we see evidence that PDJT + DOGE are bringing back essential workers once the bloat is trimmed. The USFS has become a hive of econazis, IMO.

Colorado Politics, Wyoming Trucking

 

Vomit Inducing

The least effective, least relevant United States Senator now wants to be our Governor. He is an entrenched East Coast Liberal transplanted to Colorado.

Take for example his younger brother.

He was editor-in-chief of The Atlantic from 2006–2016 and was the editorial page editor at The New York Times from May 2016 until his forced resignation in June 2020. He is the younger brother of U.S. Senator Michael Bennet.

MORE

In the grand tradition of Colorado Democrats, he will name his replacement rather than having voters make that decision.

Some of us residents remember when he was running in the last election, he bought a three day fishing license then had his picture taken “fishing”.

Along with that reasoning, he could name Emperor Polis his replacement. That is the way the bastards work in Colofornia.

“Racism I approve”

Ask any heavy recovery wrecker driver how many wrecks they work where the driver/co-driver speaks little or no English. Think I’m wrong? Ask cashiers at truck stops.

No skin in the game, and no consequences for running up costs for others

I’ve no problems with citizens fighting the gross actions that cause damages. What I have is a problem with are these environazis nitpicking decisions then using the courts to impose their viewpoint at no risk and very little cost to themselves.

 Consider this sanctimonious reasoning.

“Denver Water rolled the dice with ratepayers’ money, which was a mistake,” said Save the Colorado founder Gary Wockner, whose group has financed and led litigation against Denver Water and many other agencies seeking new dams or river diversions. “We remain open to negotiations to find a mutually agreeable path forward.” 

How arrogant is this asshole?

Are the dopers now allocating their money towards feeding their children and paying their bills? Is the street price way lower than the ‘dispensary’? Do the socialists legislators have a clue as they continue to Californicate Colorado?

Angers Me Every Time

Almost every day you read an article like this one claiming cancer cures or treatments. When will these ever be implemented? Decades of research, billions spent word wide, and still no cures?

MORE

Worse, anything outside “orthodox medicine” is ridiculed and proponents attacked. Why? Why isn’t every possible cure/treatment studied?

Years ago Madison Cavanaugh published, “One Minute Cure for All Diseases”.  Regarding cancer, he talked about keeping the body in an oxygenated state. He advocated avoiding an acidic state by keeping a negative PH balance. For the past twenty years I’ve taken several drops of food grade H2O2 in a beverage daily and am careful about what I eat. I have remained cancer free.

So what, WSF? Over 60% of my extended family, both paternal and maternal, have died from or are fighting, cancer.

I easily sunburn and have constant small outbreaks on my face. These have been diagnosed as benign but can develop into cancer. The treatment is liquid nitrogen. Expensive, and not always available. Instead, I treat them with food grade H2O2. Works! It also hurts like hell for thirty minutes or so.
