UNIONS OPERATE LIKE THE MOB WHEN YOU TRY TO LEAVE Once you're in, you're NEVER supposed to be out. From a press release I got a week ago: Two King Soopers grocery workers have filed federal charges against the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 union in response to union officials illegally threatening to fine the workers, who chose to exercise their right to work during a strike. T...

WHY DID THE ADL KNOW THIS AND NOT THE FBI? To the Anti-Defamation League's credit, they tried to tell the FBI about the hate groups online that seemed to be ginning up for more evil before the Evergreen shooting . The teen who shot two fellow students and then took his own life was active in the groups which urged murder and school shootings. Why can't we charge the people in these groups as acces...

IT'S TIME TO GET GUNS IN SCHOOLS I've been too squishy about this in the past. Gun control is a fantasy. All the laws we've passed in Colorado did nothing to stop a student from shooting two other students in Evergreen yesterday and then taking his own life .

MORE SHENANIGANS FROM OUR PAROLE SYSTEM I'm not saying the above numbers and the below numbers are connected, but it would not be a crazy thing to do. 9News' Chris Vanderveen has been working on this story and stories about the parole system for a while now and I don't think he's going to stop because he keeps finding out stuff like this. You've got to click on this whole thread to see the history...
