Johnston

Former Colorado Democrat Progressive State Senator Mike Johnston is now the Mayor of Denver. Did anybody really take the time to look at the promises that this man made on ending homelessness?

One of the great things about this moment in time is we’re saying goodbye to undoubtedly one of the worst mayors in the history of Denver, Michael Hancock. The growth of crime, filth, rot, decay, and principally homelessness, and its two handmaidens crime and drug abuse, skyrocketed under Hancock.

The tremendous damage that was done to the Denver Police Department occurred under Michael Hancock. If you can remember back with us when we were at KHOW Radio, and we first exposed his involvement in Denver Players and Denver Sugar, only to watch the massive cover up by almost every branch of Denver media. The things that he did with women on the staff, but more so the greater effect of what he did to Denver itself.

So now moving into the job is Mike Johnston who, like John Hickenlooper, said he was going to end homelessness. But tightening the noose there ain’t no 10-year plan. This is a one year I will end homelessness plan. Does anybody in their right mind sucking air believe that? And what are the alternatives if he doesn’t? Another 11 more years as Mayor.

Not that I was shocked because Kelly Brough crowed that she worked for Hickenlooper the creator of all this nonsense to begin with, and that she was good friends with Bill Ritter. Why would you tell anybody that? At long last, Kelly, have you no shame.

Now Denver chooses a guy that had been the principal of a school and a classroom teacher. Isn’t the teacher’s union one of the mainstays of why people are mad at Denver? So, here’s a question. Whose side is he on? My educated guess is if you pay the band you get to tell them what to play. We’re in a really bad place.

Denver has to be the only place outside of Ukraine where you have a victory parade and people shoot each other. And a firetruck runs over a cop.

Didn’t you all think it was really interesting how the TV outlets were playing this down as though the shootings really didn’t happen or the cop didn’t get run over because of the happy Nuggets news? And the beauty of it is that team had been up for 24 hours and they were dead drunk.

And so here we are. Do you honestly believe that Denver, Colorado, is better off now than it was 12 years ago? And if you answer yes to that question, than you seriously need help. Get back on the meds quickly. And we know the direction the city is going in. And if you think this guy Mike Johnston is going to bring the city back to the salad days of Bill McNichols and early days of Federico Pena there’s just not a chance in hell.

Unfortunately, Candi CdeBaca, an avow­ed communist will not be around to help.
