Today (Saturday) is Clean Out Your Bookcase Day
It appears that Shrump and PewPew are waaaaay ahead of you Barnes.
Is this the new fashion for right wing zoom backgrounds? No elitist books on bookcases, just guns locked and loaded on display?
Aargh.
No kidding. I'm starting to get gun stunt fatigue.
Gregg Smith (for CD-3) ⇨ Erik Prince ⇨ Khalifa Haftar ⇨ Vladimir Putin (Fat Donnie’s Bestie)
Yes, I am saying: guilt by association.
https://www.greggforcongress.com/about
“Gregg was named CEO and Blackwater Founder Erik Prince”
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/19/world/middleeast/erik-prince-libya-embargo.html
“Erik Prince, Trump Ally, Violated Libya Arms Embargo, U.N. Report Says…Eastern Libya is now in the hands of Khalifa Hifter, the powerful militia commander whom Mr. Prince agreed to support”
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/africa/russia-sends-310-more-mercenaries-to-libya/2135156
“Russia sends 310 more mercenaries to Libya…In total, Russia has dispatched around 6,000 mercenaries from regions in Syria under the regime to fight in Libya at different times.”
I'm more interested in Gregg Smith's broader bio … From the Colorado Sun:
Meet Gregg Smith, the Blackwater-connected Democrat new to Colorado and running to unseat Lauren Boebert
"I firmly believe in the Democratic platform." Once he loses the CD3 primary he'll change to something else again. And I would like to know more about the Erik Prince connection – his bio sounds as if it's whitewashing. Most of us would never do business with Prince to start with.
He'd still be a big improvement over Boebert, as would a dead cockroach. I'll support him in the unlikely event he wins the Democratic primary.
On top of everything else, Lauren Boebert is really annoying. https://www.mediaite.com/news/lauren-boebert-calls-on-president-joe-biden-to-lower-flags-for-rush-limbaugh/
And while being annoying, she demonstrates an unawareness of her own positions: The last element of the column:
HuffPost: Rep. Lauren Boebert Ripped For Not Understanding Basics Of The Constitution
While she’s in Mar-a-Lago tonight (sans Moddy) raising funds to re-elect Mike Lee to a *third* term. (the proposed amendment limits a Senator to two terms)
Can they take back her GED?
Is there actual proof she was issued one or did she just head fake CD-3? Show us your
birthcertificate!Perhaps? I'm mean, it's not like it's ever been used . . .
The GJ Daily Sentinel is as annoying as Lauren, Calamity Jane, Boebert. No matter how stupid, inane and otherwise unnews worthy her statements, they put her front and center. It's embarrassing to call them a newspaper.
Someone still does?
I haven't read a Daily Sentinel in years.
It's the only way to learn about the stupid she spreads locally. I noted the article repeated a couple of times she fully blamed the Texas debacle on frozen windmills.
Well, the Communists at the Wall Street Journal disagree with Qbert.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/texas-freeze-power-grid-failure-electricity-market-incentives-11613777856
"A fundamental flaw in the freewheeling Texas electricity market left millions powerless and freezing in the dark this week during a historic cold snap.
The core problem: Power providers can reap rewards by supplying electricity to Texas customers, but they aren’t required to do it and face no penalties for failing to deliver during a lengthy emergency."
…and according to ERCOT, the half of wind fleet that didn’t freeze (an avoidable scenario) produced as much energy as was forecast for the entire fleet ahead of the storm. She is mind-numbingly ignorant.
Next up for ERCOT? . . .
Who’s ready for some of that good ‘ol Lone Star State invisible fist, ya’ll!!??!!
Sing it real purty now for them good folks at home, Rick Perry:
“. . . find the cost of freedumb buried in the ground . . .”
Dio, how many times do we have to learn ya that freedumb ain’t FREE?????
Six months ago Texas was trying to run Biden’s bus off the road; today, not so much.
Give the Sentinel a break on this one. Reporter Charles Ashby correctely noted how wrong she was with an in-story fact check on frozen natural gas facilities. He also noted her remarks were to the Chamber of Commerce energy committee, made up of oil and gas fans and no one else.
It's not one of the better papers around, but gawd help us it's the only one we've got.
I miss C. Michael Ervin. I miss the Free Press.
😒
The Free Press didn't have a chance, really. First, they decided to be a “community'' newspaper — heavy on fluffy features, light on actual news. Second, the internet came along.
Aye…I watched its demise with dismay..🙁
I wonder how a bi-weekly hyperlocal would do if it covered from. Ridgeway to Craig and reported politics, council and commission meetings, Westslope issues in energy and agriculture, outdoors, etc. A sort of Colorado Sun for the region.
That would be great.
But, there are those who would
disagree…Jay Seaton, perhaps.
Depending on the editorial slant and choice of content providers.
Depending on where the funding would come from. That's the trick.
Today (Sunday) is National Sticky Bun Day.

The Green New Deal is a serious threat. Given the crisis in capitalist energy markets (thanks Enron!), the GND is a solution ready to be deployed:
