Up and down the Front Range and around the world people are beseeching the heavens. How could this great medical crisis befall the most refined, politically correct, loving generation of all times?
People are asking isn’t there some sort of medical breakthrough that could have us all returning to get haircuts, playing tennis at the park, and getting together for a few drinks after work at Elway’s? How dare this strike down God’s favorite people, the Front Range yuppie puppies?
Well folks, I know this is a tough go for many of you who, on Easter Sunday, turned on TV and watched what my Grandma used to view, Mass for Shut-ins, and searching the internet for a visit from Bishop Fulton Sheen appearing in his cape, little red hat and a blackboard.
People ask what medical advances could be made so they can play pickleball again with their inner circle of friends?
You know guys, I spent a couple of evenings reading about medical advances in our country. The one that stands out in my slightly diminished memory is 1954 when a remarkable scientist-physician named Jonas Salk defeated a far more deadly disease, polio. Why don’t I remember my mother, father and grandfather blaming Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower for polio?
Because, as you know, this current virus carries heavy politics, known on most media outlets as Trump’s virus. When almost every other major disease or plague rips through humanity it is rare that it picks up politics like this disease has. I recommend everyone read Randy Shilts’s book “And The Band Played On,” about how the horrible disease of HIV/AIDS became politicized.
Spend a little time reading about 1846 anesthesia. 1861 germ theory. 1895 medical imaging. 1928 penicillin. 1954 organ transplants. Stem cell therapy and immunology in the 1970s. Artificial intelligence in the 21st century and my personal favorite of all, birth control pills. Now that folks is a medical breakthrough.
Our nation has come through, in my father’s generation, the Great American Depression. No one was ever quite sure of the total cost of the Great Depression in 1929 when the stock market crashed, the roaring twenties came to an end, the life toll, the destructiveness, and as many historians believe, really doesn’t end until Pearl Harbor. How, oh my God, did families survive all of that? Then comes December 7, 1941. Our nation spent more than $4 trillion, more than 400,000 U.S. troops’ lives were lost . Then comes the Cold War. How many snuck up and covered up, rolled up and kissed our behinds goodbye under a desktop. That was fear factor.
This nation has gone to the moon, this nation has helped cure AIDS, polio and incredible lists of diseases. As a grandparent I no longer fear that my grandson or anyone’s grandson will contract polio.
There is a great line through history, life finds a way. Find one. Let’s get the lights back on. Compare men and women who came through the Great Depression in America, took on the Axis, returned to build a country and do all these wonderful things we listed to the young people today that require a soft warm puppy and a quiet place to go to because
they heard a discouraging word. Who now pick up telephones and rat out neighbors, who become social scolds on neighborhood networks? My God, that’s the kind of stuff that made the old Europeans proud.
I ask you, as my father would ask, what the hell is wrong with you? This is a virus folks. It’s nasty and it does kill people. But civilizations, nation states and individuals need to be challenged in order to grow and mature. These people claim they want to make a difference in our society. I wonder if the young kid who went down to the Marine Corps on December 8, had the same mindset?
I leave you with this. Are we good enough, are we tough enough, do we care enough to come through this? My answer is yes and the history of our nation makes the case.
Let’s get back in the game.

If you grew up in a traditional ethnic working poor neighborhood anywhere east of Detroit and north of Washington, D.C., there were a couple of set aside days when you could feel a little bit of sense of pride about who your parents are and your grandparents were. One of them, of course, has now become green Halloween, Saint Patrick’s Day, and the other is Columbus Day. I remember as a boy watching the Labor Day Parade or the Decoration Day Parade later called the Memorial Day Parade and the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade watching the Knights of Columbus march. They had really cool capes, Napoleon hats and a really cool sword.
They got lots of cheers as they marched by holding up a tall cross of Jesus and an Italian flag. That innocence has now been taken away in Colorado because, of course, Christopher Columbus is now known as single handedly enslaving Native Americans.
In one of the greatest bait and switches I’ve been able to witnesses in a state full of great bait and switchers is the current attempt to establish Frances Xavier Cabrini Day. As I ride my motorcycle up I-70 I first thought the Mother Cabrini statue was an old Jupiter-C missile. It’s not. It actually honors a very lovely and kind ethnic Italian woman.
Now, wrestling fans “can you see and smell what ‘the Rock’ is cooking?” Not only if you continue to support Christopher Columbus, racists that you are, and you negate Mother Cabrini you become a sexist. Here’s a show stopper. There are historians that believe Columbus actually was Jewish which in today’s politics would make him a suppressor of Palestinians. The man simply can’t win.
But in my favorite turn of events, if you follow politics outside of Colorado, New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio had appointed a Director of the Manhattan Museum specializing in art by LGBTQ artists. What did they do? They snubbed Italian American icon Mother Frances Cabrini. The report is that somebody had to take the fall for the First Lady of New York Chirlane McCray who didn’t want Mamma there. They’ve told people that they want to quell the criticism of the statue. Why is that? Well obviously, she was a devout Christian woman. Are you starting to see the picture?
In my grandson’s lifetime these same politically correct witch hunters will also inevitably change Cabrini Day. She will go as Columbus goes before her. For exactly the same reason that the politically correct hacked her in New York.
Remember when Lenin said the end will justify the means? Columbus sailed for Spain, the sailors spoke Spanish, they conquered for the King and Queen, slaves were taken for the King and Queen of Spain. Close on his heels came Cortez, Pirazzo and deSoto who murdered tens of thousands of indigenous people while searching for gold, glory and the fountain of youth. Why aren’t we critical of Spanish language, Spanish culture and everything that came with it?
In 1979 out of that hotbed of intellectualism, Berkeley, also known as Baghdad by the Bay, comes Indigenous Peoples Day. The grifters at Colfax and Broadway couldn’t slip that one past you. So they set up Mother Cabrini who herself once celebrated Columbus Day. And as I leave you, Columbus Day was once stopped in the city of Denver in 1920s by the KKK. The Klan stopped the Italian Catholics from marching. The spirit of Mayor Stapleton lives on in the Democrat left, the political witch hunters of Colorado.
Remember the rhyme, “In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” In 2020, boys and girls, the legislative blue did what the KKK could not do. They stopped Chris in his tracks.

Jon Caldara who has been a longtime friend, pretty fair country talk show host and The Denver Post’s most read columnist, got unceremoniously canned from the ever shrinking Denver Post because he dared to say there are no more than two birth sex categories. Jon, who has had tremendous life struggles himself was deemed insensitive to people and their place in life. Unbelievably absurd but political correctness will destroy much more than just Jon’s career as a Post columnist.
In the news recently, the families of three
female high school athletes have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block
transgender athletes in Connecticut, from participating in girls’ sports. The
issue is coming up in other arenas as well.
I’m a huge fan of MMA, professional prize
fighting and, of course, the only real legitimate sport left, professional
wrestling. Now I have a question for the editorial board at the Post, the
politically correct of Colorado, and anybody that believes there are more than
two true sexes.
My example is MMA fighter Fallon Fox.
Fallon Fox was born biologically male and he beat two biologically born women
half to death in the MMA cage. The first woman that he beat is Erika Newsome in
Coral Gables, Florida. With Fallon’s hands gripping the back of Newsome’s skull
“she” delivered a massive knee, bringing her knee up and down while pulling
Erika’s head down. The blow landed on Newsome’s chin, dropped her unconscious,
face first and that was Erika’s last professional fight. The next woman that he
beat was Tamikka Brents, also giving her a concussion and breaking several
orbital bones.
Now the website Outsports, which proclaims
it focuses mostly on LGBTQ issues named Fallon Fox their “bravest athlete in history.”
Now remember, Fox is a biological male fighting physically weaker females and
inflicting life altering harm. That qualifies as brave?
So, let me ask you — how brave is it for a
man to beat up a woman? Here’s the hard part. A man who has his penis removed,
has surgery to create a false vagina, takes hormone shots and gets fake breasts
is just a man that cut off his penis, has a fake vagina, takes hormone shots
and got fake breasts.
How, politically correct fans of this
column, can a biological male beating up a biological woman become brave and a
hero? As I’ve said many times, you can’t make this stuff up. The argument that
trans women are full women and should be allowed to compete against biological
females — is this another form of toxic masculinity? The male competitor will
almost always win and have the advantage over the female. Men have now claimed
for themselves the opportunities that were the domain of women’s sports. Are
women’s rights now officially dead with respect to athletic competitions? You
all better come to the dance.
A man identifying as a woman almost kills
his opponent in the ring. Remember that’s an actual woman in the octagon. And
this is applauded? Where are the Mile High feminists on this? This should have
never been allowed. If a traditional man got into the ring and beat a woman
unconscious what would they say? An act of hate? But a guy gets a few hormone
shots, changes his appearance to look like a female and it’s okay? You’ve come
a long way baby. You take care of yourselves you guys. Ring the bell.

Conversely What Saves More Lives — Law Abiding Gun Owners Or Safe Injection Sites?
Just when you thought it was safe to go
back in the water the trifecta of brilliance brings us back Safe Injection
Sites to Colorado. The slicky boy approach of Senators Brittany Peterson
(D-Jefferson County) and Kevin Priola (R-Adams County), members of the
uni-party, have introduced Senate Bill 20-007 and Senate Bill 20-028 subtitles
on treatment of the opioid and other substance use disorders and substance use
recovery. These bills have meaning and I personally believe it is the return of
safe injection sites that, after spending some time a year ago in Vancouver, I
can tell you personally what a mythology it is that injection sites save lives.
Right Albus?
To further my beliefs along, you all
remember Le Central the French restaurant on Lincoln Street and 8th Avenue? The
longtime home of Le Central? Asking price in 2015 was $1.1 million. Asking
price in January $1.8 million. Informed sources tell the Glendale Cherry Creek
Chronicle the building is now being leased by my close personal friends — The
Harm Reduction Action Center. The home of Executive Director Lisa Raville. These
people, I believe, are all indirectly involved with George Soros’s Open Society
Foundations. They’re closing their doors on Colfax, across the street from the
Capitol and opening now at 112 E. 8th Avenue.
The site has a giant parking lot to serve
the heroin addicts of the Denver area and, btw, it’s much closer to the
Governor’s mansion.
What did Barry McGuire say, “Look around
you boy. It’s bound to scare you, boy.”
We now have the insanity of Red Flag, as
the lawyers say, sidebar. It took just nine days for one of the first
violations to drop on a very fine young police officer in Fort Collins. Now I
know you all remember when the progressive left media outlets promised us that
you could not possibly misuse red flag and everybody with room temperature IQ was
surprised that it took nine days for it to happen.
Now just rationally think this through.
What do you think if heroin injection sites are enacted? What will kill more
residents of the Mile High City? Drug overdoses or law abiding gun owners. What
will save more lives? Law abiding gun owners or safe injection sites. The
answer is obvious.
Did you see the story last month about rat
infestations at Lincoln Park? That, dear reader, is third world stuff. That
stuff happens in Bombay, and now San Francisco, and now here. Did you notice
the TV news showing guys with high pressure hoses washing off the sidewalks to
clean up God only knows what interesting materials left behind by those brave
victims of capitalism? Do you have any idea where that water goes?
When is everybody going to wake up?
Right now, as a skier, ski congestion
starts on Friday, locks up I-70 until Sunday night. Give that 10 years.
Colorado’s overpopulation predicament, as some predict, we will add another
5-million people in a very short amount of time. Toxic air, water shortages,
endless traffic, species extinction, exhausted energy supplies and so much
more.
I legitimately ask you, what direction is
this state headed in? You, your children and grandchildren stand at the
doorway. You pick. Because if you don’t, you know damn well they will. Watch
the skies and where you walk.

Putting on our collective thinking caps,
looking into our all-seeing crystal ball, we’re going to give you a list of
predictions and resolutions for one of the most powerful political years in the
country’s history, 2020.
The top of the shop of course is who will
be the next President of the United States. Donald Trump the man who would be
king or….. any number of erstwhile equally bizarre characters on the other
side. Folks, it just doesn’t get any better. This clearly tops when General
Curtis LeMay was George Wallace’s Vice Presidential running mate. George
McGovern and his first running mate Thomas Eagleton who was just a little
before his time, a guy who actually admitted he had emotional problems unlike
the present lineup of stars. So here goes.
By the way do you folks remember the
Amazing Kreskin? Yeah, I know no one else does either. He always made these
predictions on the Mike Douglas show. So, let’s begin.
Who will be the next U.S. Senator from the
State of Colorado? Will it be joyride John or cardboard Cory? Remember the joke
of the guy in the alley when he gets the gun pulled on him and the stickup
artist says, “Your money or your life” and Jack Benny allegedly said, “I’m
thinking, I’m thinking.” Boy, how about these two. A couple of stalwarts. One
of my New Year’s wishes is for Cory Gardner to get his man card back and get an
extra-large jockstrap. Hick is finding out the media does not love him as much
as he thought.
How ’bout those Broncos. As we are writing
this they are on a winning streak. Is it because they brought another Bowlen
family member back into the game?
We predict Denver Mayor Michael Hancock
will successfully close whatever remaining open spaces and parks are left in
the city and take care of snow removal … and any ice still in your driveway?
How long will Candi CdeBaca be able to
bitch slap Michael Hancock around while yelling, “Workers of the world unite,
you have nothing to lose but your chains.” And maybe give us a Potemkin tour of
the homeless living on the Platte.
And I predict after midnight on January 1,
2020, the first three people to be red flagged will be Tom Tancredo, Dudley
Brown and Sheriff Reams from Weld County.
Looming over our shoulder is the return of
Brittany Pettersen. Now that General Bud-Weiser has reopened the insanity of
heroin injection, will Brittany receive more money from her husband’s pipeline
from George Soros’s red phone?
Will our businessman-Governor Jared Polis
manage to tank the Colorado economy a year earlier than he planned? And since
we know from Greta Thunberg there are only 12 New Year’s Eves left.
And will Shoshana Lew destroy whatever
credibility CDOT has left?
But enough of the positive it’s time to
thank the good guys for a hell of a 2019.
Mike Roberts and Patti Calhoun from
Westword.
Patrick Neville and his band of merry men
and women.
Frank McNulty for going after John
Hickenlooper even though the Ethics Committee can’t find an empty room to hold
their inquiry and the Dems think its ok Hick uses federal 9-11 funds to pay for
his lawyer. Is this a great country or what?
The King of Glendale Mike Dunafon.
Comrade CdeBaca for busting Hancock’s chops
every chance she gets.
The fine folks that woke up in Colorado and
voted to keep Tabor while the progressive con men tried to rip off your last
hope of keeping them in check.
Ted Trimpa and Arash Moselah a tip of the
hat for Halloween and a great Thanksgiving.
Greg Hollenback, the Modern Eater. Sheik I
never stopped to thank you.

One of the most revealing media moments in
the last 20 years along the Front Range came in a Channel 9 studio when former
Governor (Senator-elect) John Hickenlooper told Kyle Clark’s newsroom it was
their job to protect him….
It reminded me of when I used to go to my
grandma’s house to watch TV. Some of you may remember Mutual of Omaha’s Wild
Kingdom with Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler, when Jim would hold up the tortoise
and Marlin would tell us little kids that like the tortoise shell, Mutual of
Omaha will protect you.
A con then and a con now.
Note to Channel 9, when you printed the
story on your 9 News page you claimed that John Boy told you it was the job of
“journalists” to protect him. Oh, not so. He was sitting in your newsroom
talking to your television camera and to your reporter. He never uttered the
words “you journalists,” rather he says “you guys” meaning you guys at Channel
9.
So, what’s this about? This is about John
Hickenlooper going to the Bilderberg meeting in Turin, Italy. When I first
broke this story on my award-winning radio show I was told to go put on my tin
foil hat and find more conspiracy theories about DIA and that Patsy Ramsey
really didn’t do it.
Part of my Irish mafia, former House
Speaker Frank McNulty, put this together on the show that Hickenlooper would be
protected by the media. They all ignored the Bilderberg trip and are now doing
their best to ignore that Hickenlooper flew on Larry Mizel’s jet to Connecticut.
As Jack Kennedy said, “Let me say this about that.”
Larry Mizel, along with Phil Anschutz, are
the Republican Party in Colorado. They fund the clown show that’s been
attempting to run the State of Colorado since Bill Owens dropped out of sight.
I’ve spoken to you and written to you about
Colorado’s Uniparty. It’s not Republicans at the top or Democrats at the top.
It’s the Uniparty. What do you think the boys talked about on the trip? As we
well know, Larry’s never got any irons in the fire. John’s other protector has
always been The Denver Post. The Post wrote editorials claiming what McNulty
and I were saying was “politically motivated lies.” They went on to call it a
political stunt. The Post also said, we represent lazy reporting or, perhaps, willful
disregard for the truth.
Wow. Pretty cool huh? Now isn’t it
fascinating that no one else reported Hickenlooper telling Channel 9, why
aren’t you doing the job you’ve always done, protect me? The only person that I
heard from was Samantha Zager. She is the Regional Communications Director for
Trump Victory 2020. She lives in Milwaukee; her area code is 414. Isn’t it
fascinating The Denver Post didn’t report this story? It fell on deaf ears.
Whatever John believes that he’s entitled to do you really think the press owes
him protection from his own corrupt decision-making? McNulty’s complaint
alleges Hickenlooper violated Amendment 41 of the Colorado Constitution which
prohibits state employees and public officials from receiving gifts worth more
than $53 per year. How about them Bilderbergers?
You will never know the truth about this.
Because, of course, as you know the role of the Denver media is to protect the
best little boy in town, John Hickenlooper. By the way, Cory Gardner, Colorado
Republican Party Chair Congressman Ken Buck, and every other GOP “outlet” also
ignored what Hickenlooper said. Run, Johnny run.
And Merry Christmas.
