Denver Post Article on Green Building Codes Misses the Point

Green building codes are back in the news again in Colorado. The Denver Post has a new report updating readers on how the rebuilding process is going for Marshall fire victims in Louisville and Superior. Evidently, many homeowners are choosing to rebuild under the latest and most stringent building energy code standards that featured heavily in the […]
From fired to hired, plus Tucker Carlson

In case you haven’t heard, I got fired from my gig as a Denver Post columnist for criticizing the media as liberal, saying sex is binary and generally being insensitive. Guilty as charged by the way. Well I’m excited that the Gazette and its sister publication Colorado Politics took pity on me and asked me […]
Rob Natelson’s Comment on Jon Caldara and the Denver Post

Newsflash for woke “journalists:” Conservatives and libertarians, like others, are entitled speak in their own voices. Not in yours or anyone else’s.
TUNE IN: Jon Caldara on Tucker Carlson tonight at 6:40PM!

Okay, that subject line MIGHT be true. If they can squeeze me in between impeachment craziness, Tucker wants to chat with me about getting canned from the Denver Post for being insensitive in my writing style. Don’t be upset if video of Chuck Schumer whining pre-empts me. I had no idea this enforcement from the […]
Why the Left wants to destroy the Boy Scouts

Among all Scouting’s values, from the Left’s point of view the worst may be self-reliance.
The dangers of public art

Okay. I’ll reluctantly admit it. I think Blucifer rocks. I love that creepy, devilish blue “Mustang” statue you drive by on the way to DIA. It is powerful and eerie. And, in full-on Steven King-like glory, this spawn of evil literally killed its own creator. Seriously. While building the monster, Luis Jiménez had the artery […]
Why your child is safer in a plane than in school

There hasn’t been a hijacking of a commercial American aircraft since the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, even as hijacking continue around the world. There could be a multitude of reasons for this success including stronger cockpit doors and tougher TSA screening, or at least the illusion of tougher TSA screenings. Apparently, […]
Swift condemnation for Boulder climate lawsuit and DC think tank

“That was fast,” writes Energy in Depth’s Rebecca Simon regarding how quickly leading Coloradans and others denounced the city of Boulder and its “especially unfortunate” climate change lawsuit against the oil and gas industry. Her excellent summary includes commentary from the Denver Post, former Attorney General and Secretary of Interior Gale Norton, former head of […]
I couldn’t go to work Friday when teachers abandoned my kids

We all feel underpaid, and somehow our employers all feel we’re overpaid. So, who’s right? Well, if we keep working for the amount they’re paying us, and our boss keeps paying that amount instead of letting us go, then it’s pretty safe to say that’s the market amount for our circumstance. We are programmed from […]
No, it’s not you, Peter Pan. It’s the law that prevents you from growing up.

Many progressives want to lower the voting age to 16, yet they want to raise the age to buy a long gun to 21, all while Obamacare lets them stay on mommy’s health care plan until they’re 26. So just when does someone become an adult anymore? Is it any wonder young people today seem […]
My compromise offer to the politically correct

In our hyper-sensitive culture, where it’s not what you say but the words you use to say it, enough Americans needed to elect a president proved they’re sick and tired of feeling censored. Middle America voters can only be told their white-privileged micro-aggressions are triggering some victim’s oppression so often before Trump’s crudeness becomes a welcome and needed relief.
The Republican grand betrayal that just keeps getting worse

President Donald Trump and the Republican congress just gave us a large tax cut. But Colorado’s Republican-controlled state Senate had already taken it away. To comprehend how that’s possible, we need to understand the largest betrayal of Republican values in Colorado political history: the tax-hiking, debt-raising, TABOR-busting Senate Bill 267, sponsored by Republican state Sen.
