Two Drunk Johns are Better than One
I have come to really appreciate our time breaking the government-mandated isolation by hoisting a few beers with you on our Freedom on Tap series – where drinking and socializing come first and politics come second. So this Tuesday evening at 7:00 pm MT, we’re drinking with two of our favorite freedom fighters … John Fund and […]
Fighting Despotism, II Style
First, a quick reminder to join us tonight at 7:00 for an alcohol-fueled conversation with Trump advisor Steve Moore and Gazette editorial page editor, Wayne Laugesen. Tune into “Freedom on Tap.” Here’s how to join us at the Studio B Bar: Zoom: (download here) and then use the following to join our meeting: Zoom Meeting ID: […]
Wanna grab another drink at the Studio B Bar?
Steve Moore wants to have a drink with you tonight. He and my new boss at the Gazette, Wayne Laugesen the editorial editor, will be throwing back a few at our virtual cocktail party! We all finally sobered up and realized getting together to socialize, under the guise of talking politics and policy, was just […]
Polis Is Listening To Us
Editor’s Note: Given recent action’s by Governor Polis, this article is somewhat out-of-date. **** In the long term, I am more concerned about the growth of governmental control than the growth of COVID. I remember well the great advance towards socialism during the downturn of 2008 because of big government’s mantra of “Never let a […]
COVID-19 Requires Government Distancing
Thank you Governor Polis! To help deal with COVID-19 we need more Government Distancing. You know at Independence Institute, we are not shy about criticizing our governor when we feel he is wrong on the issues. With your help, we even sent him lumps of high-quality coal this last Christmas for being on our naughty […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
GOVERNOR POLIS, HERE WE COME!
GOVERNOR POLIS, HERE WE COME! One more NAUGHTY POLITICIAN is getting a lump of coal for Christmas! Literally, in the truest sense! Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser will receive some furnace ready coal just in time for winter! Colorado Gives Day is almost over, but we aren’t done yet! Yes, we have raised more than […]
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 […]
