Coloradan following education, government, history, sports, other stuff from my home state. Dogs, bikes, music, books & classic films keep me sane. Views are my own.
Colorado State just served up the best college basketball game I’ve seen for a Colorado university. They embodied the best of college athletics! Thank you CSU Rams! 🏀

This program provided school meals and improved food supply chain efficiency following the holes exposed during Covid. Who cuts food supply to food banks and kids?

This is some Charles Dickens stuff 🙄😬

I’ll admit that over the last few months there have been times when everything has felt so jacked up that it occurs to me that the only thing we can count on as good and true and worthy are dogs🤔

This is a really nice add and Engram will be a key weapon for Bo next season. Well done👊🏼 🏈

🙏🏼 Prayers up for a truly good and holy man. In a time of retrograde politics and too many power hungry tyrants this kind and decent world leader has stood up for compassion and peace. Thank you Pope Francis🙏🏼

You want to talk about fraud, waste, and abuse? Well, here you have it.

The American public didn't vote for Donald Trump so he could hand over billions in taxpayer dollars to his biggest donor.

This is corruption of the highest order.

Well it’s almost President’s Day which means only two things this year. Mattress commercials and more complete idiocy from this so-called president and his gang of corrupt cronies — hooray for the USA🙄

1/2 Spent a week inside the beltway. Brief gloomy report out. Higher Ed community anxious about loss of research funding, dismantling of Dept. of Ed and GOP backed College Cost Reduction Act. My Pentagon pals laugh sardonically at the buffoonery to hide deep concern. The next years will bring

My roommate served for years as a pilot and doctor on USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67). She’s being scrapped in Texas. So long and thanks for 40 years of faithful service!

Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.

Sen. Bennet has a bulldog grip questioning crackpot loonies like RFK and Gabbard. This is the truth and leadership we need to cut through rubbish of these bully-clowns.

BENNET: Is Edward Snowden a traitor to the United States of America?

GABBARD: *dodges*

BENNET: This is where the rubber meets the road. This is when you need to answer the question. Is Snowden a traitor?

GABBARD: ...

BENNET: That is not a hard question to answer when the stakes are this high!

Honestly the Bills were outcoached and outplayed by the Chiefs. The Bills played scared and that’s a trap.

A thing I really like about Bo Nix is he really doesn’t have any scare in him. Nobody told him he can’t beat the best so he doesn’t believe it🤷🏼‍♂️ #GoBroncos👊🏼

Can the Bills overcome home field lots of rest and the 12th man?! #Playoffs #GoBills

Can’t stand the Chiefs and Mina is my fave NFL analyst so this is good news to me. If you like football and you don’t like Mina you need to reevaluate. She’s the best in the biz!🏈 #BeatTheChiefs

The best player in my lifetime. Maybe of all time?🤷🏼‍♂️ A privilege to be alive to watch this guy play😳

Give him another MVP — it ain’t even close.
Nikola friggin' Jokic, man.

A 66-footer to give him a 22-21-15 triple double at the end of the third quarter. Sure. Why not.

Cool. This is a win-win. Perhaps the last park-worthy space in Denver will be a large park and new housing too. Good for Denver and good for Mayor Johnston👊🏼 #COPolitics
