In an attempt to understand the frightening aspects of political correctness we have to get above room temperature IQ. You have to move up to 10,000 feet and then look straight down. This movement gets scarier and scarier as the frightening politically correct continues to remove the best of western civilization. As unbelievable as it may sound the British Library has axed George Orwell, Lord Byron and Ted Hughes. What are their politically correct crimes? Hard to believe but links to slavery. How do they do that? Listen to these quantum leaps of faith.
For Orwell, his great-grandfather owned slaves in the Caribbean. (It is exactly the same as Kamala Harris, and isn’t it interesting no one wants to ban President-To-Be Harris?) The biographers say Orwell, Eric Arthur Blair, the son of a sub-deputy opium agent in British India; at his birth the great-grandfather’s fortune was long gone. Nevertheless….
Ted Hughes, the poet born in 1930, was added because his ancestor Nicholas Ferrar, born in 1592, was involved with the first British colony in North America. You can see what that did to native people.
Next, Lord Byron. Similar to Orwell his works are being destroyed because of a slave owning great-grandfather, as well as a slave owning uncle by marriage. Oscar Wilde may be coming on the list. This is woke ideology. This is part of the British Black Lives Matter movement that claims racism is a creation of white people and any connection to racism you’ll immediately have crossed the politically correct line.
I’m frightened as you should be as well. But turning our attention away from the UK how about this list of books currently banned by school boards in different parts of our country. They begin with The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn. We’ve been over this before.
I was surprised to learn the number two literary classic that’s been banned is Call Of The Wild, written by Jack London. Do they forget that London ran twice as the socialist party candidate for mayor of Oakland? Missed that one didn’t you guys.
Another one of my all-time favorite books, Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck’s 1939 Pulitzer prize-winning novel, was banned by the library board in East St. Louis, as objectionable language was not fit for anyone’s daughter to read.
Here’s one for you, James Joyce’s Ulysses. As if anyone could ever understand it. By the way, the Nazis burned Hemingway’s 1929 novel, A Farewell To Arms too, in 1933. One of the highlights of my illustrious career was getting to meet Kurt Vonnegut. Slaughterhouse Five was clicked.
Here’s another, wrestling fans, The Catcher In The Rye. Because of blasphemy and sexual references. I loved that book.
How about Walt Whitman’s Leaves Of Grass? Can’t be because he’s gay, of course not. And one of my true favorites, the Harry Potter series. JK Rowling’s series. Gee, she’s made some interesting remarks lately, hasn’t she?
I don’t mean to be tongue-in-cheek, I mean to be sounding the alarm. Think of how many wonderful hours you spent reading these books. And the biggest slap in the face is Orwell, who wrote extensively about banning books, himself now banned.
Cory Gardner — Rumor has it, this is straight out of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, this sock puppet is thinking about running for governor. For God’s sake, stop now.
Ken Buck — As they said in the Marlon Brando classic, On The Waterfront, a one way ticket to Palookaville, for being the only state in the country that the blue wave actually hit. Good job State GOP.
Lauren Boebert — Who has emerged as the face of the real Republican Party. Went up to Mount Rushmore, met Donald Trump, showed up at a fundraiser I went to this summer packing a gun. You go, girl. In my world you are the face of the Colorado Republican Party. But they will cut her throat just like they did Tom Tancredo’s.
Jared Polis — What do you give a man who has everything and has a lock on a second term if those GOP idiots really do run Cory Gardner. Let’s find another Coors brother, Walker Stapleton, Bob Beauprez, Bruce Benson, or some other stooge that would never be seen wearing a Trump hat. Good luck.
Michael Bennet — Will he and John be roomies? Hope you’re not challenged by Lauren Boebert. But see what we’ve said about the Republican Party. Don’t worry dude, you’re safe.
John Hickenlooper — Thank his lucky stars that hard hitting Cory Gardner never put up any resistance to defeat the weak sister of the Democrat Party himself. Dude, you caught a break. Welcome to the U.S. Senate.
Tay Anderson — How in the world do you think all of the antics that you’ve pulled in the streets of Denver have anything to do with educating the children and grandchildren of Denver? The spotlight is not the place for an educator, but I repeat myself.
Kyle Clark — Are you and the missus going to be cooking the Christmas goose for the armed security guards who protect you from the dumpster burning, dangerous Trump supporters? Man, that’s laughable.
Susan Cordova — the just resigned Superintendent of Denver Public Schools. One-way ticket to Dallas. Have a nice day.
Colorado Republican Party in general — In the words of Joseph Welch to Joe McCarthy during the McCarthy hearings, “At long last, have you no shame?” What this Party needs is a major infusion of testosterone, growth hormone and gunpowder.
Patrick Neville — One of the hopes of the Colorado Republican Party. But don’t worry folks they will shipwreck him as soon as they can.
Ted Trimpa — Aka the Sword of Soros. Great year, my friend. Thank you, all the best.
Your Denver Broncos — The team that continues to buy Harvey Steinberg new cars.
John Bandimere — A great man who had a very hard year. He deserves our Merry Christmas.
Your Local Health Departments — It is amazing how we place tremendous power in the hands of so few and in the words of Winston Churchill, never have so many been screwed by so few.
Candi CdeBaca — Is she Denver’s future? Does Denver have a future? And truly how can it be worse than Michael Hancock?
Michael Hancock — Now that you’ve screwed up the mayor’s job for everyone else… Congratulations.
CDOT – RTD Combo — Seriously how do you screw up everything you touch?
Mayor of Glendale, Mike Dunafon — Job well done. Ever think about running for governor?
Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen — That junior G-man kit. The gift of the truth that someday you’ll tell people where you were hiding the day Antifa thugs beat people up in Civic Center Park. Shame, shame, we know your name.
Brother Jeff — For years and years of appearing on the radio station with me and pissing off the Mile High City, you da man.
Beth McCann — For you and the mister, a can of fire starter. Let’s see if this guy ever does a day.
Journalism is a contact sport. Especially if you remain in lock step with those who have gone before. Over the course of history brave journalists have proven it’s possible to get to the bottom if your intentions are good and strong. Remember Walter Cronkite on the beach in Normandy. Eric Sevareid parachuting into Burma. John Howard Griffin who wanted to know what it was like to be black and took certain drugs to become black and went south and became “Black Like Me.” Dan Rather standing against Nixon in Texas. All of those moments are great journalism. Kind of reminds you of Kyle Clark, doesn’t it? And the entire Channel 9 news staff. Brave men and women all.
In the aftermath of Channel 9’s crew who hired a security guard who wasn’t a security guard, who shot a patriot between the eyes, Kyle Clark, man child in journalism land, took down every one of his tweets that he had made attacking the Colorado conservative scene. According to Colorado Peak Politics, Kyle Clark has deleted a series of tweets in which he mocked the idea that Denver has become increasingly dangerous even as his station is hiring armed security for its reporters. I’m told he now has full-time armed security, 24-7. In the words of Joe Biden, “Come on, man.” Kyle, dude, man up. According to Red State, Clark is described by some Antifa accounts as “one of us” and therefore did not need security because Antifa would protect him.
So that’s why, to seal up any problems covering the murder case they brought in a reporter from WFAA their sister station. Meaning the same dudes that pay Kyle Clark are paying the other reporter.
As we go to press the alleged agitator Jeremiah Elliott not only is appearing on Channel 9 in a hard hitting interview that begins with “How are you, man?” and Channel 4 that can’t quite ask him if he knew 9News producer Zach Newman or if he knew the murderer Matthew Dolloff. That’s the kind of stuff that would make Bob Woodward proud.
As you read this they have still not interviewed one of their own, the producer Zach Newman. Is it fair to ask did they all know one another? Were they, as other people have said, huddled up in a team? How about that moment when the body is not cold yet when Denver Police Division Chief Montoya immediately tells the press Antifa was not involved? How did they know to say that? And to his left is Chief Paul Pazen with a mask on.
All one had to do was a slight dive into the internet to turn all of these people up. In fact, Dolloff has the Antifa tattoo on his wrist. And Antifa wasn’t involved? Well, we now know Elliott has been involved in numerous Antifa riots acting as a street commander. Who told Montoya to say that to the press?
This Elliott character is a street general, he was very instrumental in the Aurora Police Department violent attacks during the summer. Also, there’s the video of him running from the scene screaming “one less white supremacist” and “in the f-ing ing dome.” Elliottt grabbed his cammo vest and bolted from the scene.
Where is the investigative media? At 710KNUS, the Chuck and Julie podcast at chuckandjulie.com, and here at the Chronicle. And folks that’s about it. Was the media, The Denver Post and Channel 9, shadowing Jeremiah Elliott to get the money shot? He’s a provocateur. Were they waiting for him to give them what they wanted?
On the two interviews he appears in he uses the possessive “our” when talking about Channel 9. Was that a Freudian slip or was he telling the truth? When Channel 9’s hard hitting reporter asked why was he wearing the black guns matter shirt he said it was just in his closet and he was just walking around downtown at the time. In Channel 4’s interview at least, and I use this word loosely, he has the decency to say no comment.
I’ll leave you with two questions. Was Elliott working in any capacity with Channel 9? Was he friendly with the accused murderer Matthew Dolloff?
Ellliott has a history of anti-cop protests. Tig Tiegen who put the Muster together believes they were all in lock step. What if Matthew Dolloff rolls over and tries to make a deal to save time in the penitentiary? Channel 9 has huge problems. Pinkerton has big problems and what was Dolloff doing working at Channel 7 a few days before he shot and killed Lee Keltner? This sucker is like Lee Harvey Oswald. He appears all over the place.
I don’t have any answers, just a hell of a lot of questions, and the Front Range media, with a few exceptions, is disgusting and despicable.
You don’t have to worry about Trump supporters burning dumpsters in front of your house. That is done by people the media like. And now, as Malcom X said, the chickens have come home to roost.
The one ring. The most powerful ring created in Middle Earth was crafted by the Dark Lord, Sauron, in the fire that’s also known as Mount Doom. It was created to exercise control over all of the other rings of power. Sauron hoped to gain lordship over the elves and all the races in Middle Earth.
Now I’ve wondered this. There were 19 total rings. Three rings went to elves. Seven went to dwarfs. Nine rings went to men. So now, under the Dark Lord Polis who do you think has those rings? As a dwarf it’s clear Kyle Clark has at least one of them. I think the Dark Lord gave The Denver Post a ring. Tay Anderson has a ring. Clearly Councilwoman CdeBaca has a ring. Norm Brownstein has a ring. It looks like Brittany Bowlen is about to get a ring. Leroy Garcia has a ring. Ian Silverii and Brittany Pettersen have to share a ring because they’re married. John Hickenlooper, one of the enlightened dwarfs, will probably get his ring back in November. Don’t kid yourself, Cory Gardner is not an elf. The traitor Republican turned Biden supporter Ryan Call has a ring. Ted Trimpa has a ring. As the King of men, Phil Anschutz has a ring.
I know you’re all thinking, who is the Gollum? It’s Michael Hancock. He had a ring but he lost it.
Remember, Gollum was once a hobbit, which leads us to hobbits. If you are a true Tolkien fan, you remember when Frodo and Sam get back from the great adventure the Shire has turned into a homeless camp. Unlike the movie, in the book at the end the Shire looks like the State Capitol in August.
If you’re out there searching for a good wizard as in The Return of the King I don’t think Colorado has one. You and I spend our time looking for Gandalf and we keep coming back with the one ring that can control them all. So using his ring of power, Polis now rules high school football can begin again. Your Denver Broncos can play again but John Bandimere has to stay shut down. Certain restaurants can open, certain cafes must close. So the Dark Lord picks who wins, who loses. Businesses that open and businesses that need to go. The Dark Lord is never indecisive, his leadership is all bold. As it gets colder now how will dwarves and elves be able to eat outside without the blessing of the Dark Lord?
And remember, one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them in the land of Mordor where the shadows lie. The State Capitol. The ring can’t be tossed away or forgotten about. It always returns.
On the 27th of December of last year, Denver County Judge Johnny Barajas, using the 8th Amendment that stops cruel and unusual punishment, ruled that the urban camping ban enacted in Denver, Colorado, was unconstitutional. That, ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages, ushers in balls-to-the-wall, full blast boogie adventures in homelessness.
Like all good things it has a beginning, and the beginning of our problem of the unhoused is none other than the lizard king himself, John Hickenlooper. John Hickenlooper, when he was the Mayor of Denver, launched a program that he titled “The Ten Year Plan” to eliminate homelessness. If I recall correctly he was doing it to honor his mother, whom he took to an outstanding movie starring Linda Lovelace (winkie, winkie) as a young man. That plan not only didn’t end homelessness it put everything on turbos.
The 10 year plan has turned into the 20 year plan that has launched Hickenlooper’s stupidity, along with Michael Hancock, Denver City Council, and collective Denver media, into turning Denver into a mini San Francisco.
Hickenklooper’s legacy — Denver’s Road Home. Daily in Denver’s media, wearing rose colored glasses, we see the results of Hickenlooper’s utopian plan to do something that the late Bob Coté described as shoveling a certain substance against the tide. It just can’t be done. And now, of course, he wants to become Senator. Or does he? Depending on the moment, the day, the time, John Hickenlooper may or may not want to be Senator but he is leading in the polls.
Homelessness, Hickenlooper once said, is a sign of prosperity, and not a sign to be celebrated, but a sign, nonetheless.
Look what we have around you now. Infestations of rats, needles, on sidewalk defecation, 14th Avenue near the Colorado Capitol, Lincoln Park, Civic Center Park. And the appalling fallout when the Denver Police, trying to do their job, are met with a Denver Public School Board member and others trying to stop the police from cleaning up a rat’s nest. Denver City Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca called the camping ban an iteration of the black code vagrancy laws that were once used against the black population.
The agreed upon figure collected by Hickenlooper and Hancock in the plan to end homelessness is around $64-$65 million. Denver City Auditor Dennis Gallagher said, after auditing the program, they could not determine if that $64 to $65 million had any impact at all on reducing homelessness. The only thing we know for sure is all that money was spent.
Hickenlooper kicked it off in 2005, telling you and I he would end homelessness in 10 years. That was 2005. Now another $46 plus million has been allotted by the City of Denver and all you have to do is drive around and see the results of those millions of dollars.
We have talked about this before. You can’t feed the bears in Yellowstone. If you put a bird feeder in the backyard you’re going to get squirrels. The late Bob Coté knew the truth. Bob, in that war on homelessness, was George Patton. He knew. The 10 year program with all the collection boxes set up all over the city, all these millions of dollars, take a walk down the 16th Street Mall. Enough is enough.
Air conditioning for the Denver homeless.
The man who did everything he could to turn Denver into what it is today, now wants to be the next U.S. Senator. I’m not telling you Cory Gardner is any day at the beach, but I think we said it before. In the words of Barry McGuire in that telling song, Eve of Destruction: “Look around you, boy, it’s bound to scare you, boy.” And you tell me we’re not on the eve of destruction?
One of the great double speak, hands over your ears, hands over your eyes, hands over your mouth moments came when Jared Polis, the Governor of Colorado, commented after rioters tore down and defaced Colorado’s Civil War statue of a Union soldier. He said, “Those responsible for the damage whether they were hooligans, white supremacists, confederate sympathizers or drunk teenagers….” Of course it was. Why would I think it was Antifa characters, Black Lives Matter dumpster fire starters, and members of the Democrat Party? I’m sure that those raging drunk hooligan supremacist rebel sympathizers who searched out that statue are responsible. The laugh out loud funny aspect is no one in other media outlets challenges that statement. As always, he gets away with it.
Can I ask you when did Mount Rushmore become the face of the conquerors, a symbol of white supremacy and the statue that was responsible for the genocide of indigenous people? It obviously wasn’t when Barack Obama visited. It must have occurred in the past three months.
In last month’s column we spoke about when Thomas Jefferson dined alone. On the award-winning radio show (yeah Peter keep this up), I mentioned the Star Spangled Banner, Francis Scott Key’s poem actually known as the Defense of Fort McHenry had the politically correct red dot on its forehead. And now the left and progressives scream we should change the national anthem to Woodie Guthrie’s This Land Is Your Land or Lean On Me or John Lennon’s commie anthem, Imagine. Someone ask Polis which one of those works.
I read about Lyndsey Parker with Yahoo Music explaining why it’s time to finally replace the Star Spangled Banner. My response is, if you’re really upset by the Star Spangled Banner maybe you really just need to leave and find another country in which to live your life.
Now, of course , we have the decapitation of the Virgin Mary statue that took place in Chattanooga. This is also equally predictable when the Jesus statue is proclaimed as a racist portrayal of Christ. Maybe they’re right. Maybe if we all take Jesus and make him into the Semite that he was maybe we’re just setting it straight, but instead, hell let’s kill his Mom.
How many places in Colorado do you think are still available in the plain brown wrap that you grew up used to. This is my prediction. Buffalo Bill’s grave. When you read the revisionist history of William Cody, Indian fighter, he killed as many buffalo as he could thus denying native people their food. Reducing the herd, reducing the tribes and forcing them on to the reservation. The old Billster doesn’t have a chance in hell right now. And if you remember, the citizens in Cody, Wyoming, wanted his body when he died. So the city fathers of Denver, at the time, buried him and Mrs. Bill and covered them with railroad ties and concrete so the bodies couldn’t be stolen. Somebody call the Mayor of Cody. He’s all yours.
So maybe you could change the name of Cody, Wyoming, to Stapleton, Wyoming. How long will this last? Well, now George Washington University wants to release Winston Churchill and James Madison. The winds of change are blowing through Denver and Colorado. The Virgin Mary has been vandalized a number of times Shaun King, known as “Talcum X” has proclaimed, “tear them down.”
The deep state has made its move. I leave you again with a couple of great pictures and citing Creighton University’s Smith’s declaration that pro police rally attendees are white supremacists. Defund the cops. Democrats are advocating a social revolution to correct the American Revolution. The Declaration of Independence states why the American Revolution took place. They intend to undo it. We really have mass amounts of really stupid people in this country.
