I’ve been a witness to malfeasance and criminal activity and
just plain underhanded, off the bottom of the deck dealings in the City of
Denver for a number of years. I go back as far as the McNichols administration
stretching now into the town’s best friend Michael Hancock.
I have also been a monitor of the total lay down media in
the Front Range including radio, television and newspapers. But never in my
storied career have I seen anything as tragic, misreported and flat dishonest
behavior than I have witnessed beginning when the Denver City Council voted
12-1 to initiate supervised use sites for injectable drugs.
The biggest offender other than the elected officials has been
KUSA, Channel 9. I’ve accused them of being weaponized before when it came to
creating Deborah Ramirez, the behavior of Brandon Marshall, what happens inside
Denver Broncos, Denver Players and Sugar, ignoring the truth about Matthew
Shepard’s murder, the George Babbitesque home town boostering and flat-out
media manipulation. The Denver Post is behind that and other media outlets have
played the same game and many just choose to turn a blind eye.
The biggest offenders on the political side I happen to believe
are John Hickenlooper and Michael Hancock. If anyone thinks that Councilman
Albus Brooks came up with this on his own I got a bridge in Brooklyn. Also,
dear reader don’t you find it suspicious that there has not been anyone, with
the exception of one person in the Republican Party speaking out against this?
Where are you Cory Gardner? Where is the Governor? Where is Governor-Elect
Polis? Where, for that matter, is there anyone saying that this thing not only
doesn’t work but destroys lives and cities. I have diligently worked on this.
And in spite of proclamations from Channel 9 and politicians
that there is not statistical evidence or studies on Vancouver proving it not
to be a positive experience there are numbers of statistical evidence,
variables on crime, overdose deaths hospital overloads, heroin addict
population increases, meth people walking Vancouver like the TV series The
Walking Dead. Why would anyone want to bring that here?
Let me give you a couple of quickies.
Denver claims that 201 people died last year of drug
overdoses in Denver. Albus Brooks claims a thousand of our friends and
neighbors in all of Colorado died last year of ODs. Vancouver is a smaller city
than Denver and now has safe injection sites and a thousand people overdosed in
the city of Vancouver alone. Let that sink in. Vancouver is smaller and has
safe sites and has 800 more ODs than Denver. Other statistics — Vancouver after
safe sites had to hire 90 more police officers into the area around East
Hasting Street in Vancouver where safe sites are located. A rookie cop in
Denver starts at $57,000 and change. That would cost taxpayers here an
additional $5.2 million dollars.
Vancouver had one of the best health care systems in the
world. It’s now been overrun with other multiple diseases. Here’s one for the
record books. Albus and his minions claim people get off the streets. Last year
only 252 people graduated from detox. Remember detox is not rehab. Vancouver
claims there were 6,532 different people visiting 263,713 times. 252 people
graduated from detox and detox again is not rehab. I know that one well.
Just for the record the Imperial British that run Denver —
that’s a reference to the Opium Wars in China — claim that the safe sites will
stop addicts from using in public places. Vancouver says there are about 15,000
injections a day in the city while the sites monitor 600 injections a day. I
can’t do math and I can’t do marriage but a friend of mine who can says that
means 90% of injections take place away from the sites.
People are drawn there, and people die there. When an IV
drug user hits the vein, they seem to want to curl up, nod out, feel warm and
let the rush come over them. Then a do-gooder in the sites rushes in and
administers the antidote Narcan and effectively kills the buzz. And then they
rush over and mark “we just saved one more” on the wall. And that’s where these
idiots get their numbers of saves. How would they know? Folks, this is just at
first blush. When you read statistics on crimes against persons, street
assaults, vehicle theft, prostitution, breaking and entering these are
skyrocketing statistics since 2007 when Vancouver was foolish enough to let
this stupidity loose on its own people.
Please stop this. Don’t let this get any further. I don’t
think anyone in Denver media, nor, with one or two exceptions, any damn fool
involved in city government has any idea what they’re doing. For the sake of
everybody’s children and grandchildren do not let them release these dogs on an
otherwise great city.

I call for my pipe and I call for my bowl — Dan Caplis that’s an inside joke. In the spirit of giving and God bless us all, looking back over the last 12 months of the award-winning Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle columns, I am remiss if I don’t wish most of my targets a Merry Christmas with a gift under their trees.
Beginning with Kyle Clark and Shaun Boyd — Now you can see where this column is headed. Dudes — the numbers bite, you cut a lot of throats this year and both of you act surprised that the only person people dislike more than you two is me.
To the employees of The Denver Post — In the words of Dick Kreck, if they offer you a buy out, take it fast. It won’t be much but it will be a little something so you can buy yourselves a little holiday cheer.
To the Hickenlooper-Hancock Road Home to End Homelessness in Ten Years — My father would talk about putting one thing in one hand and something in the other and seeing which weighed the most. You can also attempt to shovel that same substance against the tide. You both deserve it put on the tops of your heads. When was the last time anyone drove Speer Boulevard and saw how Denver is ending homelessness.
To John Elway and Joe Ellis — Do you guys know the expression something is much like “Hogan’s goat?” Damn, dudes. Can’t you guys — in the words of Rodney King — just get along?
To the Bowlen family — Talk about why can’t we all get along. I’m sure it will be a really fun Christmas morning at Annabel’s.
To Stan Garnett — Stanley where are you my boy? You were the darling of new left media and now you have vanished like Marley’s ghost. Can they hear your chains rattling through the hallowed halls at Brownstein’s?
To Norm Brownstein — A true Father Christmas to the great state of Colorado. If the Broncos could have only had the year you had. You had more hits than the mafia. Sometimes I think of myself as what if I really am Whitey Bulger? That’s never good.
To Michael Hancock — who is, as I’m sure, all settled down for a long winter’s nap. It just depends who he’s with. Could be about anybody, right Mikey?
How about that John Hickenlooper — President-elect Hickenlooper? Contender Hickenlooper? Senator John Hickenlooper? If you watch the horizon John Boy’s future is so bright — here comes the gift — sunglasses, he’s gotta wear shades.
Jared Polis — or should I say Governor Jared Polis? Your win over Walker Stapleton is the equivalent of stepping on baby chicks — whoops that’s an Easter gift.
The NFL — I love that you decided to have a whole week where you saluted the military. Was that some feeble attempt to bring people back to watching your on-field performances? A special New Year’s wish for that.
And last but not least — Donald Trump. The gift that keeps on giving. How you managed these last two years is absolutely amazing. I never got the pony under the tree and I certainly never got a car. But I got you. You have made these last two years a true enjoyment watching CNN’s rating drop below the Food Channel reruns. Don Lemon is getting clipped by the Cupcake Wars. Damn what a Christmas gift that is.
So looking ahead to 2019, in the words of my sainted grandmother, if you don’t think things are going to get worse, just wait and hang on. Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and Happy New Year. Thank you for this last year — it’s been a blast.

Stan Garnett wants you to believe he’s Jesse James. In reality he’s Bob Ford. The Kavanaugh hearings in Washington, D.C., probably reached a depth not even reached by Joe McCarthy in the Army-McCarthy hearings. What the Democratic Party and its operatives and kingpins did to a decent man is really beyond the pale.
When the New Yorker piece drops, written by Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer, accusing Brett Kavanaugh of exposing himself to an innocent women who lives in Boulder by the name of Deborah Ramirez at the now legendary Yale dorm party it is the biggest political assassination attempt in the history of the country.
I was long on to the Ramirez story and how she was represented by Stan Garnett, the former fighting Democrat District Attorney of Boulder, Colorado, now heavily ensconced in the epicenter of evil, the Brownstein law firm.
I was struggling to understand how Honorable Stan Garnett was able to weasel his way into the story. I was on my motorcycle three Sundays ago, fundraising for the MC Honor Run. It was colder than a well digger’s rear end, and the light went on. Of course, they know each other.
I started to dig and I discovered that the alleged victim Deborah Ramirez, from the Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Non-violence, is listed on the organization’s website as the co-vice chair of the group. Here’s what they say, “Ramirez has worked for Boulder County since February 2013, currently the Senior Coordinator of volunteers for Boulder County’s Department of Housing and Human Services.”
And remember the New Yorker piece quoted Garnett as saying she was “as careful and credible a witness as I’ve encountered in 36 years of practicing law.” Well I wonder how many times Honorable Stan and alleged victim Ramirez met. I couldn’t make it solid but they’ve known each other a minimum of five years. How many brown bag lunches, holiday parties, and backyard fundraisers did they both attend? We know he spoke for her Safehouse on at least one occasion. But remember these people know each other.
Also, the second mouthpiece to jump in when the New Yorker piece drops, Sen. Diane Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee calling that night for immediate postponement of the vote because they needed more investigating. This is coordinated. This is orchestrated.
When you read the New Yorker piece and subsequent “investigative journalism” there are three or four different explanations on how Honorable Stan meets the alleged victim. In some she claims she is being represented by Honorable Stan. But the real macguffin is they spent six days together. The 53-year-old alleged victim described the incident in an interview conducted by the New Yorker. She said that she didn’t remember, because she was drinking, exactly when it happened until she spent six days with Honorable Stan. Where did they meet? How long did they talk? Did Brownstein bill her for lunch? She goes in one end of the pipe not remembering and Stan helped her analyze and present her allegations.
But of course, no one in the Front Range media was willing to speak with him. Battling U.S. Senator Michael Bennet told one story, that his staff contacted Stan Garnett with Ramirez after D.C. officials asked him to help. That’s like me asking Chuck Bonniwell to put me in touch with Julie Hayden. Deborah Ramirez is a social justice warrior much like Dr. Ford. And then after the FBI investigation came here Ms. Ramirez turns up with yet another lawyer. Who? William Pittard, a silk stocking mouthpiece in Washington, D.C., who we’re told wrote a scathing three-page letter to FBI Director Chris Wray. And now he too has vanished, caught a check somewhere and it’s back to Honorable John Clune, who without a doubt has a history of being a close friend of Honorable Stan Garnett.
Now I have watched the Brownstein Law Firm in action for over 30 years. They’re as good as they come, probably better. The river runs through it. Farrow and Mayer knew zero about this story until it was handed to them. Like the far left delivers up media stories to Kyle Clark at 9 News, Shaun Boyd at Channel 4 putting stories on their back porch, ringing the doorbell and running away. I think somebody in the above-mentioned people delivered this story to Ronan Farrow who, by the way, has now vanished. When he popped Harvey Weinstein he was on everywhere from 60 Minutes to TMZ. Now he’s in hiding. A good man’s life was potentially ruined and it will chase him the rest of his life.
The showstopper on all of this, Sen. Ken Buck appeared on the award-winning radio show with me on 710 KNUS. This is a man who wrote a book about the D.C. swamp, the fat alligators lying in the sun and he continued to call all of these people honorable. I like Ken Buck but the chilling response from Buck led me to wonder if Buck is also afraid of the power of the deep state? Do these people control the city and the state even more than I believe? His book is titled Drain the Swamp: How Washington Is Worse Than You Think. I will say this to Mr. Buck and all of you. Drain the swamp. Denver and Colorado are far worse than you think.
To all of the above I do 5 to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday on KNUS. The phone is 303-696-1971. Call me. If you go elsewhere to find a soft place to land, some Kyle Clark, Shaun Boyd interview, as the Irish say we will know you by your limping. Remember when they spoke about the traitors, they asked God to break their knees so the IRA would know them by their limping.
As we said last time with the picture of the two squatting Broncos — you Front Range media people, at last have you no shame?

This should be in any other non-politically correct American newspaper a Pulitzer Prize winning photo. As I suspect most of you know there are Pulitzer Prizes issued up and down the dial in the media for award-winning journalism, television, radio, print and photography.
How in God’s green earth could this picture miss? What a dichotomy. An elderly security guard standing at attention in the tunnel while Denver Broncos Demaryius Thomas and the darling of the Front Range press Brandon Marshall taking a squat, not kneeling for our nation’s song, the National Anthem. Look at the woman at attention; hand over her heart, eyes straight ahead. All the time I’ve been staring at this photo I wonder exactly what she must be thinking. At her age maybe her father was at the Battle of the Bulge, maybe an uncle on Guadalcanal. Maybe one of her mom’s relatives on Pork Chop Hill. A brother at Khe Sanh in Viet Nam. A son or a daughter in the battle for Fallujah. You gotta ask yourself why this picture has never appeared in any Denver media outlet. We placed it on our award-winning 710 KNUS website and it received over 17,000 views. How can the Front Range corporate media not be humiliated?
I feel like monthly we come here to the headquarters of the Daily Planet and I play an ongoing game of whack a mole with The Denver Post, television stations and other radio outlets. We’ve become a voice in the wilderness. Why can’t someone else at least challenge the behavior of these players? I’ve said many times I know nothing about X’s and O’s, I know nothing about how football is played or operated or sold. But I do know a little bit about how the media business works.
We have talked and written for years about Brandon Marshall’s lies, but the showstopper on this one is Demaryius Thomas. I don’t know how many of you know that in this horrible racist country that we live in Demaryius’ mom and grandma have had their prison sentences granted clemency. Both of these women were doing a 20-year drug stretch for not only selling but also manufacturing crack cocaine. In fact Demaryius has spoken about the family cooking crack on the stove in the kitchen where he grew up. I can see why he’s mad. I was able to read about the raid where the cops found hundreds of dollars in rolled up cash in a drug ring led by Demaryius’ grandma Minnie Pearl [Thomas]. She took the beef on conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine.
Now under this current racist regime of Donald Trump, President Trump is currently working on commuting sentences of other African American women who also have taken some drug beefs. Donald has commuted a sentence of a grandma doing life on drug charges. The woman’s name is Alice Johnson. Alice is 63 years old, had been in the federal joint for 21 years and would have died behind bars without President Trump’s clemency. Donald Trump, along with an unlikely partner Kim Kardashian, working toward the release of other women facing similar sentencing.
So why, as my colleague Chuck Bonniwell has pointed out, why don’t Demaryius and Brandon go to Trump and seek help in finding more people who need the Presidential pardon. But that would take some effort.
According to the first couple of weeks of television ratings this NFL season is off to a resounding flop. So Demaryius Thomas was 11 when mom and grandma were jailed for 60 years. And in this bigoted system they squat because he [Trump] has released them. More women to follow and points like this as I look at our competitors in the Denver media scene and ask why the hell for once can’t you tell the truth, or better yet show the truth??
I’m glad Demaryius’ mom is home. You’d think he’d be grateful.
I guess its easier for these morons in television studios to turn Tom Tancredo into a Klansman than show a photo of disrespect that would get them an audience or sell them papers. You really gotta ask yourself why. Happy Halloween.

Brandon Marshall, Demaryius Thomas, Walker Stapleton, And The Denver Media
And it came to pass in those days when Denver linebacker Brandon Marshall told the Denver media that he had been involved in this terrible incident with the Miami police on a horrible Fourth of July evening when he was with friends in a restaurant in Miami. Shots were fired, a woman in plain clothes directing traffic ordered him to stop and all of his friends somehow magically vanish. Marshall claims the police officers tackle him to the ground, handcuff him, and threaten him with a taser for resisting arrest. He says they load him in the cop car, take him for a ride then stop and tell him, “Look we’re not going to take you in as long as you keep this just between us.” And then they kick him loose. Now friends … and you are my friends … it never happened.
Brandon becomes a knee taker; Brandon becomes part of the social justice football warriors. Bet everything you got that it never happened. And then as we reported, one day Brandon stood up. Stood next to former coach Gary Kubiak and all was forgiven.
Then as we all know, other than us, no one seemed to be able to find or contact any authorities in Florida and ask if Brandon was telling the truth. We all know growing up in Holy Mother Church there are sins of commission and sins of omission. If the Front Range media had to go to confession they’d ask for forgiveness for both.
And remember Barack Obama when linebacker Marshall was the object of police brutality. Enter Donald Trump. Trump makes comments about the anthem policy of the NFL and the media swarms to Brandon Marshall for comments. Brandon Marshall calls Donald Trump “disgusting” and the Front Range media lap it up like mother’s milk.
New season. Brandon Marshall did warm ups in the opening preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings and then he and Demaryius Thomas took off for the tunnel before the anthem was played. They reemerged after our nation’s song was over. And played in a very lackluster game. I personally watched Channels 4 and 7 the next morning and saw no mention of that behavior on the mommy sportscasts on those two stations.
Along with the intense rumors of the relationship between Joe Ellis, John Elway, the clash of the brain trust of the Denver Broncos, Mrs. Bowlen’s illness, the two stepsisters feuding over the ownership and Harvey Steinberg’s favorite client, John “blood of the city” Bowlen, this my friends is a broken team.
The media, like the three monkeys, see nothing, hear nothing and say nothing. However, what they do say is that Walker Stapleton is the great-grandson of a Klansman. The Denver Post writes such headlines as “Walker Stapleton Must Be Ready To Deal With Family Skeletons As Colorado’s Governor’s Race Heats Up.” We all know old Ben the Denver Mayor was a member of the Klan. So, if Walker is responsible, Jared Polis must also be responsible, because he’s a Democrat just like Old Ben.
Anyone who cracks a 101-history book knows the KKK was the muscle and the arm of the Democratic Party. Kluxers were 100 percent white protestant democrat males. How is Walker Stapleton responsible for his great-grandfather and Jared Polis not responsible for his party? In fact, the amount of gang banging that’s taking place in newspapers, radio and television on the ancestry of Walker Stapleton easily overshines any allegations of the lies of Brandon Marshall and his on-field behavior. Don’t you all find it interesting? But of course, their ratings are being diminished, their revenues are diminished, and fewer people are attending the games or listening or watching.
Remember the Democratic Party gave us the KKK, black codes, Jim Crow laws, and other legislation, which resulted in murders, lynchings, mutilations and intimidation. On the issue of slavery any reputable historian will tell you the Democratic Party gave their lives to expand it while the Republicans gave their lives to ban it.
When are you going to quit listening, watching and reading these people who are a grift on your intellectual capacities?
P.S. I don’t care if Walker Stapleton wins or loses. As far as I’m concerned, this state has been in enormous trouble ever since Bill Owens put the arc in low gear.

How Writing Columns Like This Are Going To Make You Go Blind.
Call It The Denverbergers
Recently I have been dedicating this award-winning column and lots of very expensive airtime to the hidden bosses of the City of Denver and the State of Colorado. Oftentimes the same person and the same organizations.
Since we seem to be the only scribes in the Colorado media to talk about John Hickenlooper’s trip to the Bilderberg I thought it would be of interest and importance for us to list the Denverbergers. The rich and powerful that have controlled Denver and the State of Colorado for a number of years.
As I have said to my critics, “I’ll quit when I need glasses.” Oops I already wear them. OK, I hope my mom doesn’t catch me.
One prediction — sometime after the first of the year, in January 2019, John Hickenlooper will announce his hat is in the ring. He will be running for President of the U.S. to challenge Donald Trump. Don’t take this bet, you’ll lose, he’s in.
We’ve spent a lot of time talking and writing about the power elites who control the EU, foreign policy decisions, and are currently on the ropes being punched by your old Trumpites. So in Colorado the elite of business, politics, media and academia tend to, and oftentimes do, control the direction of the City and the State.
I’m mindful now that everybody bitches about traffic and overcrowding. How did this happen? How did it get this way? Well it’s fairly simple. The same people who told you not to water your lawns and not to fill your kids’ swimming pools were handing out water permits to developers, campaign contributors, butt boys and buddies. You can’t make any money on roads, can’t make any money on infrastructure unless it’s the A Train to the plane. You just settle back, hope the Broncos get in the playoffs, and leave the rest up to us.
So along with my crack staff, Chuck and Julie, we’ve put the list together of who the Denverbergers are. From the top down:
Phil Anschutz — The state’s wealthiest business owner, the true gray eminence.
Pat Stryker — One of the most powerful people in the State of Colorado you never heard of. If there were ever a member of the lucky sperm club Pat would win. To the best of my knowledge Pat never lifted a finger in any kind of a working company.
John Hickenlooper — The name speaks for itself.
Norm Brownstein and Steve Farber — What more do you need to know.
Larry Mizel — CEO and Chairman of MDC Holdings. Made the Fortune 500 list. Knows how to stay in the background and also be part of the shakers and movers.
Tim Gill — Wealthy political activist, part of the Gang of Four with Pat Stryker.
Bruce Benson — Big time oilman. You see him everywhere if you dine at the Denver Country Club.
John Malone — Liberty Media. Always manages to get one of his many minions in on any meeting whether to foist the Olympic Games or some back-door power deal.
Charlie Ergen — Also known as EchoStar.
Peter Coors — Of course, I rest my case.
Stan Kroenke — Denver based Kroenke Sports Enterprises.
Pat Hamill — CEO of Oakwood Homes and former head of Colorado Concern.
Ken Salazar — Former U.S. Senator. Oil and power broker.
Wellington Webb — Former Denver Mayor.
Jack Finlaw — Fast Jack, advisor to kings and queens.
Kelly Brough — President and CEO of Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.
Walter Isenberg — President and CEO Sage Hospitalities.
Dan Ritchie — President Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation.
Bill Owens/Bob Beauprez crime family — Former Governor most recently found sucking up to Denver Mayor Michael Hancock at a Ken Salazar fundraiser.
Cole Finegan — Big money bundler.
Larry Richardson — Managing partner of Bow River Capital.
Sylvia Young — President and CEO of HealthONE.
And if you notice not one of these people holds an elected office, except Hickenlooper who is term limited and on his way to the stars.
But these people, whether you know their names or not, are the reason we have an overcrowded city and highways and homeless people crapping in your alley.
And as the sun sinks slowly on Denver’s corporate media outlets you’re not going to hear anything about these people. I bet there are few, if any, reporters who even know who these people are because they’re too busy covering Trump protests and celebrity dog washes.
So, when they get together to screw you and your family a majority of these people belong to Colorado Concern, an organization devoted to lining its members’ pockets and screwing you.
It doesn’t matter whether Walker Stapleton wins and Anschutz hands out the party favors or Jared Polis wins and Tim Gill hands out the party favors. Remember you got no shot. Go Broncos.
