 Colorado’s “Gold Standard” Election Integrity

Yeah, right.

I will be receiving my mail in primary election ballots this week, one for each party. I can only fill out one.

Wyoming Coal

The industry is getting a boost thanks to President Trump. Placing a coal terminal in Oakland does two things. First, frosting the ass of econazis. Second, making USA coal available to Asian countries.

Other areas will prosper, politics permitting. Northwest Colorado has huge deposits of coal, for instance.

Perhaps naval experts can help. With a dredged depth of 50’, will the Oakland Terminal be able to service the largest bulk carriers?

Gun Haters Rejoice

Colorado saw a sharp decline in Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), with 189 dealers closing or surrendering their licenses during a single recent 6-month period, outpacing new openings. State associations report that out of more than 2,100 FFLs operating in the state, only about 800 applied for new mandatory state permits following recent legislative changes.

The Godfather of current restrictive firearms laws is Ronald Reagan when he was Governor of California. He, and others, shit their pants when lawful citizens exercised their 2^nd Amendment rights.

They rushed through the California Assembly “gun laws” that have morphed into today’s hellish mess.

Sadly, West Virginia Attorney John H Bryan’s, “My freedoms don’t end where your fears begin. Freedom is scary, deal with it”, wasn’t around then. Would it have mattered?

Many hold President Reagan in high regard. If it were an attitude back then, I had Reagan Derangement Syndrome. No need to go into the tiresome details at this late date.

“President” Polis

Now nearing the end of his term, he is aiming for the Democrat nomination in 2028, IMO. He is now trying to build credibility as fearless, pragmatic, libertarian, etc., with a large number of veto’s of (P)regressive wet dream bills passed in the last Legislative session as proof.

There is the Tina Peters move.

Don’t count him out. He is highly intelligent, personally wealthy, and has an ability to use other people’s money deftly. His sexual orientation won’t be an obstacle with Democrats.

Car Story

Hope this isn’t a repeat.

Occasionally dealing with customers you get stuck and can’t come up with anything to say. The technique I learned was to let your mind go blank, open your mouth and whatever comes out will probably work.

The Seattle area has a large Chinese population. I always liked having them for a customer. While it was hard to make a profit on them, they came to buy a car. They rarely lied and the Chinatown branch of Seattle First Bank would finance them.

The Ford store I worked at always had six or eight sales units on the weekend. These were bare bones and priced dirt cheap. We never, under any circumstances, sold them for less than the sales price.

Two Chinese were on the lot. One was the buyer, the second was the negotiator. They landed on a Taurus.

The negotiator asked, “What you price?”, in an  aggressive tone. I pointed to the sales price in the window.

“Too high”, he said. No surprise there.

“These are special sales cars. The owner won’t let us sell them for less”.

“Why your owner won’t let you sell for less?”, in both an aggressive and aggrieved tone of voice.

 Blank mind. What came out was, “The owner is a Jew”.

 “Oh, Jew! Tougher than Chinese. What your interest rate?”

 An hour later they left in the Taurus.

 As always, YMMV
