As the title suggests this blog is mainly Colofornia
politics.
Captain Obvious Speaks
A well written and laid out Colorado specific political
analysis that likely applies to many states, IMO, but brings to mind Charles
Dudley Warner’s remark, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does
anything about it”. (not Mark Twain)

Until PDJT came along the Republicans were quite
comfortable being the opposition. They were full of sound and fury but
unwilling to get their hands dirty.
Not worth the fuck it took to
make him
Paul Weiser is the two term Attorney General who now
wants to be Governor. As Attorney General he is the top law enforcement officer
in Colorado. When he took office in 2016 Colorado was about the 26
th
safest state in the country. We now about the 6-8
th safest state in
the country, with some placing us at #3 for violent crime.
Note he brags about Colorado being the “Gold Standard”
for election integrity. Is that liberal for, “We’ve locked in a perfect Democrats
will always win system?”
From his fellow travelers:
The ACLU of Colorado moved to intervene on
behalf of Common Cause and individual Colorado voters in a federal lawsuit over
the federal government’s demand that Colorado turn over its entire voter registration
rolls, including voters’ sensitive personal data.
Oh joy, Colorado voters, Secretary of State Jena Griswold
is running for Attorney General. She is the epitome of, “Women can be just as
incompetent as men in high public office”.
She, and the other three (P)regressive candidates, are
running on the same platform, same leftist/socialist/communist Boulder coffee
house talking points. Only one makes a vague mention of the criminal problem. The "Big Issues" aren't my big issues.

Will the Colorado Republicans get their shit together?
Unlikely, they prefer to stand on the “moral high ground” without being
responsible for measurable results. Will the unaffiliated majority swing GOP?
Grandparents
A picture of my paternal grandparents. Hers appears to be
a studio photo while his is likely a Kodiak Box Camera picture as he is
standing beside a sod house. Probably from the 1920s. These were in a
collection an aunt sorted through and digitalized. My grandfather died when my
Dad was fourteen. My grandmother died when I was four.
Car Story
When my two youngest boys were teens, they were big fans
of “Cops” on television. One portion was, “Western Washington’s most wanted”.
One night we were watching together and the featured felon was a man on my
crew.
About ten minutes later my phone rang. Guess who?
“Ah, Tank”……
“Yeah, I saw”.
“Can you give my wash out check to one of my sisters?”
“Sure, just have them call me”.
As far as I know, he decamped Washington State pronto.
Did I commit a crime by giving his stuff from work and
his paycheck to his sister without notifying the authorities?
As always, YMMV

If your guy had the money coming to him, he deserved to get paid.
Once upon an oil field time, I ran down the telephone list of our drivers on a Thanksgiving morning to find somebody to haul one load. One guy out of about a dozen answered the phone, drove thirty minutes in to work for a one hour job, and went home. The following Monday, and he was about the last guy you'd have suspected, he was arrested for child molestation of his own daughter. Anyway. His wife asked for his last paycheck, and we gave it to her. How she got it cashed was none of our business.
Every employee will take notice of how you treat those situations and make their own choices accordingly. Two things I never tolerated on the job was theft and sexual harassment. Off the job?
100% agree as long as their proclivities don't carry over past show-up time.
Agree with your response. Re the politics, I think Colorado is already lost. As you said, the Dems have 'positioned' themselves to never lose again... sigh
It will depends on two things, IMO. First, how the unaffiliated vote and in numbers enough to beat cheating. Second, if/when the Save America Act passes.
Here's the thing. If those miscreants stole it, which they have everywhere, we can take it back, but it requires an act of will. It's bubbling up, imo.
Love the photos.
Act of will is lacking for the moment. Thank you for the compliment.
