Once again our Secretary of State is found out.
She is the (P)regressive’s candidate for Attorney General. In her first term as Secretary of State, she had a 200% staff turnover in her first year. That won’t happen now as her predecessor, now candidate for governor, had eight years to weed out anyone competent with a shred of ethics.
Senator Incompetent lost the Governor primary so will have two more years sucking the D.C. tit.
The drunk in CO-1 (Denver), been there forever, lost to the Democrat Socialists.
Her opponent boasted, in her victory speech,
“Denver voters of all ages, of all races, of
all religions sent a clear message: We will not wait,” said Kiros, who was
endorsed by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders late in the race. “We will not wait to take the fight to
Donald Trump and the oligarchy, we will not wait to abolish ICE and pass
Medicare for all. We will not wait to put an end to the politics of the past,
to get big money out of our politics.”
Welcome to the new Democrat Party whose “big money” supporters hide behind PACs.
And the Republicans?

Fourth of July
50°06’41.39”N 8°57’43.75”E
Our 1st Sgt, Nick Womac, was in charge with the assistance of several senior NCOs from various units. Step and fetchers were needed; enter the 1st Sgt’s “Volunteer After Hours Work Party”, with yours truly and Tom O’Connor, my partner in crime, and others.
It took four full days to set up the fireworks. Rather complicated. Extra guards from the normal guard duty at the ammo bunkers were assigned over night.
Around 2200 the show started and lasted for over an hour. Those of us involved in putting on the show didn’t have time to sit back and watch. Still, being part of the crew was a memorable experience.
With access open to the public, the local German newspaper estimated the crowd to be over 2,500.
Two days were spent cleaning up. An artillery battalion swept the 40 acres picking up trash. The fucking Rads were the worst litterbugs ever.
During my time there, the show wasn’t repeated. 1Sgt Womac was later promoted to Sgt Maj and went to the 37th Engineer Group Headquarters. Hated to see him go; perhaps the best NCO I knew and the reason I never received an Article 15. If the Army had a medal for cat herding, Combat Engineer NCO’s would qualify.
Nanny State
This is something I probably would have done voluntarily if asked.
Cynical me wonders how many good paying position will be needed to administer the program, what political flavor those employees will be, and how much will be left for those truly in need.
Car Story

Roush Industries employed me for around three years as a test driver. This event occurred in 2009. I wasn’t present but did hear the story that became part of “teachable moments”.
One route ran from Commerce City over Loveland Pass to Fairplay then back to Commerce City over Kenosha Pass. All the cars were camouflaged and we covered the dashes when we left them for lunch, potty breaks, etc. Usually up to four cars ran together.
On this route a good place to stop for lunch was the Wendy’s at Aspen Park. When the crew came back to the cars there was a pool of coolant under a super secret Mustang. Concerned, the crew opened the hood.

A man with a camera slid up, started taking pictures of the engine compartment, and then beat feet. One guess as to how the coolant got under the Mustang.
The job started out as something to do. When I proved myself, it became interesting. Example: Manager, “This is one of two prototypes in the world. We need it taken to the Hyundai plant in Montgomery. It must arrive with no dents, scratches, marks or blemishes. Take your time if you run into hail or highway repaving”. Normally a two day trip, it became a three day trip.
The employees with the most fun were in Las Vegas where a select few tested on the Las Vegas NASCAR track. For the rest of us it was strict adherence to speed limits with GPS tracking installed in every vehicle. Kansas, I-70 at 65 mph, gah! When Kansas finally raised the speed limit to 70 mph, it saved 24 minutes crossing the state.
As always, YMMV

You prolly remember when Kansas used to be 55; Teh Suck was strong in that and I don't suppose Colorado was much better. I-70 and I-35 are 75 now, for the most part, until you get to the Communist occupied areas on the east side.
One fun-filled fact is that troopers on I-70 in western Kansas almost always run radar/laser pointed at eastbound traffic instead of westbound. Personal use laws in Colorado is the reason why. A few years ago, a trooper noticed something odd about the paint on a K-DOT pickup truck, so initiated a traffic stop for some infarction real or imagined and discovered the covered bed was full of weed. Unknown how many trips the driver had gotten away with it before getting noticed. Innovative, wot?
Evil weed. Wyoming and Nebraska cops are active. When I go to South Carolina I use Hwy 36 to Phillipsburg the Hwy 24. Little traffic and fewer police.
Shortly after Colorado made it legal I had business in Goodland. KSP pulled me over on the off ramp for not signaling long enough. Then wanted to search my car. No! Then came the standard, "If you don't have anything to hide............." My standard reply is, "I value my privacy". No ticket, just the usual bullshit.
The last time I smoked dope was around 1968. I don't like it or any other recreational drugs.
KHP had a feeding frenzy after personal use was legalized in Colorful Colorado and "not signaling long enough" is one of the ways they tell you they really don't need an excuse to pull you over if they feelz like it without telling you they really don't need an excuse. It's insulting.
KSP, home to the infamous Kansas Two Step. In the surrounding states, having Colorado plates alone can get you pulled over. I try to ease their concerns. Windows down, dome light on at night, both hands on the steering wheel. Yes YouTube lawyers, I don't need to do that. Slow movements, etc. Beyond that, no searches, no conversations (where are your going, where have you been) and, if the tired "I smell......." bullshit, no more cooperation.
In my world there are peace officers and cops. My highest regard for peace officers and my loathing for badge heavy cops.
Utterly and predictably insane. I guess Denver accounts for it?
Denver? One part. The incumbent lost to a young socialist who was born after the incumbent was first elected. A huge surprise was the Colorado Supreme Court kicking out three (P)regressive redistricting scheme initiatives. Since all three justices are hard core Democrats, I guess you can make a maggot gag.
Denver alone won't carry the state. The influx of new residents has spread the cancer border to border.
Well, your Californication is just about complete... sigh... And yes, some people will do ANYTHING to get the scoop for the new cars, including being assholes...
Likely a commercial photographer looking to sell to a car magazine. An asshole, but a damned clever asshole.
Fear and loathing in Hugo, Colorado: One sunny spring afternoon I got a lecture and finger-pointing from a sawed-off young smart-assed COP there for driving a mile or two over the speed limit. He was dressed all in black with combat boots and tactical gear and it was all I could do to keep from asking him if he was gonna invade Poland that evening. He finally ran out of breath and let me go, surprisingly enough without a ticket, but it took him about fifteen minutes to run out of steam and then followed me out of town to make sure I got his point. I did get his point and have never spent a dime in Hugo ever since.
Minimum wage job in that town. Likely lived with his parents as all his income went to buying his kit. My only positive comment about Hugo is they did a nice job (with a state grant) of restoring the roundhouse.
The midterm primary rush continued in Colorado, where progressive candidates from the party's left flank Melat Kiros defeated the more moderate Democrats.
DeGette, has held the seat since January 1997. However, Kiros, a 29-year-old former New York attorney and self admitted Socialist, pulled off an unexpected victory after a campaign calling for the abolition of ICE, stopping military aid to Israel and supporting "Medicare for all."
The "Hate Israel" criterion alone now divides the moderates from the extremists in the Left and the Left seems to want all 7 Million Jews in Israel to endure another 10/7, which would be a million more Jews dying than in Nazi Germany.
But should we be surprised? I think not, the party that has murdered over 60 million unborn children of their own nations flesh and blood, the party that murdered Charlie Kirk and then all celebrated on social media by the millions, the party that murdered a health care CEO and then sent millions of dollars to help defend the assassin legally as marriage proposals came to the assassin by the thousands, is now celebrating the proposed destruction of Israel.
I think that the Republicans are going to have to get busy detailing what happens to the people and a Nation when Communists take over a Country. These Demented Subverted Demoralized Stalinist Marxist Leninist Zombies Bitches are a direct threat to to the American Society and Civilization.
The problem is, America won't be deciding on the truth but on whatever the corrupted Media tell them to believe!. So in areas where people voted for these Commies, you will now be run by Commies.
So Congratulation, We have been warning you dipshits, but you wouldn’t listen.
Better response to what I wrote than what I wrote.
The Liberal, Radical Progressive, Democrats Communism do not need tanks to conquer America. It needs a generation that gets its history from our Children’s schooling, from Phony foreigner promising the world to the “Gullible” Citizens who are looking for a fast way to have their bills paid for ten without doing the work,
but from influences, and the opinions from Con Artists. It needs voters who have never stood in a Bread line and therefore believe Bread lines are just a myth.
The threat already sits in Gracie Mansion, who gave an oath that he apparently never intended to honor. This country needs to wake up, or it will soon Cease to Exist as founded.
Enters a hostile foreign governments and their automated bot armies. And the Mayor Who Craps on the Country That Made Him. Their job is to artificially create, expand, and amplify this fever dream until it appears to be an organic movement. And whp tells them about all the dreams that they wanted to hear. In my opinion, much of what passes for radicalism that is manufactured and engineered to convince impressionable Americans to cheer for their own nation’s destruction. These Useful idiots have always existed. Now they can be mass-produced at scale, twenty-four hours a day.
Over the Fourth of July, I watched New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani run down America. This is a man born to wealthy, privileged parents in Uganda, an elite academic communist father and a celebrated foreign-subsidized filmmaker mother, who landed in the United States as a child and harvested every benefit this country offers. He became a naturalized citizen in 2018. Seven years later, he runs the nation’s largest city on an openly socialist platform. All while Our President swears the Oath of Allegiance, which includes these words: that I will “support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” The oath is taken “freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; So Help me God. You can say whatever you will about President Trump, but for me, I believe every single word that he said .
And furthermore, I believe that this president is the best this country has had in my lifetime.
Bottom Line: Communism does not need Tanks, and Bombs to conquer America. It needs a generation that gets its information form Social-Media and TikTok, and from a self admitted Socialist Mayor.
Hugo Chamber of Commerce take note: my bucket list is rather short and unpretentious, but one of the items on it was that roundhouse. Was.
Hwy 287 from the OK line to I-70 is a gauntlet with each small town a speed trap. Campo's whole town budget is based on speeding tickets. The Springfield PD hide among the hangers at the airport along Hwy 287, Eastern Colorado bucket list? The museums in Sterling and Burlington punch way above their weight. 20 miles South of Wray is Beecher Island - worth a visit. Speaking of speed traps, Hwy 287 Northbound drops down a long grade to I-70. The CSP lurks in the area and two wide spot, suitable for pulling over trucks, are right at I-70.
