Do You Care About Freedom?
Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week? We can’t! You know what else we can’t believe? Colorado Gives Day is only 17 days away! But it’s more than just a day. And it shouldn’t just benefit the Left! To be fair, Colorado Gives Day is a great way to encourage folks to give to great charities, […]
Movie Night at Independence
I suggested we watch Animal House, or at least The Godfather, but… In celebration of this year’s National School Choice Week, our Education Policy Center will be hosting a free, public screening of Miss Virginia on Wednesday, January 29 at 6PM here at the Independence Institute. The movie tells the story of the school choice advocate Virginia Walden Ford, her […]
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 […]
Here’s the column that got me fired from the Denver Post
Here’s the column that got me fired from the Denver Post: I’ve been a regular columnist for the Denver Post since 2016. Editorial Editor Megan Schrader informed me today this will be my last piece for the Denver Post as a weekly columnist. A quick word about my now former editor Megan. She took over […]

POLIS GETS COAL! THANK YOU!
Coal power not only powers most of Colorado’s homes and businesses, the magic fossil fuel will find its way into the Christmas stockings of our progressive overlords! We did it! This Colorado Gives Day was another one for the record books. Because of you, we SMASHED our goal of $75,000, raising over $80,000 for Independence […]
Closing in on Governor Polis!
WE ARE CLOSING IN ON GOVERNOR POLIS! We’ve met our 3rd COAL GOAL and Colorado Senate President Leroy Garcia is getting the gift of coal this Christmas! And I mean literally. Colorado Gives Day is in full swing and it’s clear that not just progressive groups are benefiting this year. We have already reached $40,000, […]
Guess the cost of Polis’ 100% renewable mandate
Success with our Colorado Gives Day plan to give a lump of coal to politicians for Christmas! We hit our first target of $25,000, so the Speaker of the Colorado House, KC Becker, will be getting a lump of coal, literally. She gave us Prop CC, so it’s the least Santa can do for her. […]
What would you like to get Governor Polis for Christmas?
If we reach our GOAL, Governor Polis will get COAL for Christmas! Here’s how: Colorado Gives Day is only a week away, and this year, we want to send the radical Boulder Leftists who are selling out our state and turning it into their dystopian Socialist paradise a gift: Coal! That’s right, if we reach […]
Which politicians deserve a lump of coal for Christmas?
After the most jarring, radical, leftist legislative session in Colorado history, we’re thinking some of Colorado’s elected official deserve a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings. And, with your help, we plan on giving it to them. Literally. National Popular Vote gives our electoral votes to New York and Los Angeles. The sham Red […]
Prop CC fails thanks to YOU!
As I’m watching the election returns tonight and delighting in Prop CC’s humiliating defeat, I wanted to thank you. Because of your partnership we were able to fight off yet another attack on our Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. The word that keeps coming to my mind is “addition.” Politics is the art of addition. This […]
What some people do for attention
Office gossip: So our executive vice president, Amy Oliver Cooke (the original AOC), finally got shoulder surgery to repair the massive damage from a spill on her bicycle. She has to keep her arm completely immobilized for the next 6 weeks. This means she’s gimping around the office looking for sympathy with her arm glued […]
