coloradopeakpolitics--2020-09-18--Polis appoints vegan who says meat is murder to regulate livestock on vet board

Polis appoints vegan who says meat is murder to regulate livestock on vet board Gov .
Polis is getting blasted by the agricultural community for appointing radical animal rights activist Ellen Kessler to the state ’ s veterinary board , Colorado Politics reports .
The state veterinary board oversees the routine practice of artificial insemination and ova transplantation of cattle .
By every indication Kessler appears to be a PETA enthusiast who believes slaughtering cattle is tantamount to murder and milking cows is equivalent to sexual abuse .
We wish we were kidding .
Kessler is also a firm proponent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , just look at her Quora account .
Kessler ’ s criticism of 4-H is especially disturbing given the organization ’ s long track record of providing youth development programs for kids and teens in rural agricultural communities across the state .
In 4‑H programs , kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like health , science , agriculture and civic engagement in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles .
Kids experience 4‑H in every county and parish in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , school and community clubs and 4‑H camps .
When questioned about Kessler ’ s activity on social media , Polis ’ office laughably claimed he doesn ’ t actively monitor the social media of his appointees to state boards .
Polis certainly wouldn ’ t stand by an appointee who posted racist content or lambasted liberal constituencies as rapists and murderers , so that explanation is outright ludicrous .
The real force behind the appointment according to State Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg is Colorado ’ s First Husband Marlon Reis , a longtime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Kessler ’ s appointment is part of “ the First Gentleman ’ s agenda.
” First Gentleman Marlon Reis is an animal-rights activist who played a behind-the-scenes role during the 2020 session on a bill requiring that all eggs produced in Colorado come from a cage-free environment .
Kessler said in a Facebook post that the bill was a first step to ending the consumption of chickens and eggs .
State Sen. Don Coram says the appointment is part of a larger effort by Polis to purge Republicans from state boards and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believes he has “ more than enough votes to block Kessler ’ s appointment , ” so that ’ s good news .
The Colorado Farm Bureau , the Colorado Livestock Association , and the non-partisan agricultural publication The Fence Post have all called on Polis to withdraw the nomination .

Media blows off western issues at Club 20 Senate debate to play Ginsburg gotcha game The Club 20 debate John Hickenlooper blew off this weekend was completely overshadowed by the media vultures playing a game of gotcha with the candidate who did show up , U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner .
Less than 24 hours after the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg , the media danced on her grave and politicized her death , insisting Gardner join them on the cemetery dance floor .
Gardner declined to play the gotcha game or school the local and state media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Instead , Gardner said this : “ I hope that before the politics begins — because there will be plenty of time for that — that we have some time for this country to reflect on the legacy of a great woman who rose to our nation ’ s highest court and the work that she has done for this nation , whether you agree or not , ” the Republican senator told Club 20 , a Western Slope business group .
Here ’ s how the Denver Post headlined their Club 20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like Gardner went into hiding after Ginsburg ’ s death was announced Friday night , yet the Club 20 debate was the next day at 2 p.m. Hardly the months-long basement hiding strategy employed by Hickenlooper , who only recently emerged to prove he ’ s still alive .

Media blows off western issues at Club 20 Senate debate to play Ginsburg gotcha game
The Club 20 debate John Hickenlooper blew off this weekend was completely overshadowed by the media vultures playing a game of gotcha with the candidate who did show up, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner.
Less than 24 hours after the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the media danced on her grave and politicized her death, insisting Gardner join them on the cemetery dance floor.
Gardner did not.
Gardner declined to play the gotcha game or school the local and state media on the nuances of Senate confirmations.
Instead, Gardner said this:
“I hope that before the politics begins — because there will be plenty of time for that — that we have some time for this country to reflect on the legacy of a great woman who rose to our nation’s highest court and the work that she has done for this nation, whether you agree or not,” the Republican senator told Club 20, a Western Slope business group.
Here’s how the Denver Post headlined their Club 20 coverage:
In first appearance after Ginsburg’s death, Gardner declines to say when justice should be replaced. Senator dodges question about whether he stands by 2016 remarks.
The Post makes it sound like Gardner went into hiding after Ginsburg’s death was announced Friday night, yet the Club 20 debate was the next day at 2 p.m.
Hardly the months-long basement hiding strategy employed by Hickenlooper, who only recently emerged to prove he’s still alive.
The gotcha game the media is playing in Colorado and nationally as they do the Democrats’ bidding, is to compare apples and oranges — the nomination of Barack Obama’s Supreme Court pick in the last year of his administration, to anyone President Trump might pick.
Obama was serving out his last term, he was not up for reelection, his presidency was literally on its last legs when he nominated Merrick Garland.
Trump’s presidency is not over, by constitutional standards anyway. Trump is up for reelection.
Gardner was right not to dance on Ginsburg’s grave, and it’s too soon to know what will happen with whomever Trump picks to be his nominee.
The Senate is controlled by Republicans, who are likely and rightly of a mind to get the Supreme Court seat filled if the nominee is suitable and time allows.
Let’s be honest. If Trump is reelected and the Senate falls into Democrat control, or Joe Biden is elected and the Senate remains Republican, we all know this Supreme Court seat will sit empty for years.
It is not the media’s job to be cheerleaders for a political party and present political talking points as journalism.
We were really looking forward to the coverage of Club 20, but as usual, Western Slope issues are just not important enough for the media to cover.
Which probably explains why Hickenlooper hardly bothers to campaign in that half of the state.

From the Denver Post:
Colorado governor will require furloughs for state workers – including himself Most employees making over $50,000 a year will take up to four days this fiscal year
Thank you for your $300 sacrifice, governor! It will mean so much to absolutely no one!
Not every employee will be furloughed. There are exemptions for those whose jobs are necessary to respond to the never-ending COVID-19 crisis, or if they work in public safety or other essential services as yet to be specified.

When government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Senate and White House , confirmations go down in flames .

CC: @VailDaily, @DailySentinelGJ, @DurangoHerald, @ColoradoSun @denverpost, etc — Joe Jackson 🇺🇸 (@Joe_Jacksonn) September 22, 2020
“Calls to the mental health crisis line in Colorado have spiked 48% due in part to COVID-19. Roughly 60% of calls to the crisis line are related to the ongoing pandemic,” according to Gardner’s office.
This is extremely important and timely legislation, so we hope the mainstream media will eventually notice.
If dialing 9-8-8 connected voters to Gardner’s office to complain about the Supreme Court, the story would get national coverage.

Hickenlooper ’ s not going to tell us where he stands .

Democrats are talking about increasing the size of the court so they can load it with more judges to affect future outcomes — also known as stacking and legislating from the bench .
Hickenlooper said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consider packing the court with Democrat ideologues .

It looks like there ’ s a disturbing resurgence of the same scam , except now it involves mobs of mad liberals hoping to collect public sympathy , create victims of themselves , and turn unsuspecting drivers into villains .
The media are reporting another protester was “ hit ” by a car Wednesday night , just hours after officials said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I-225 Jeep driver who happened upon hundreds of protestors in the middle of the freaking interstate .
Leftists were furious the Jeep driver won ’ t be charged .

Or the protestors who attacked the Jeep with bats .

And if a terrified driver tries to get out of the situation by driving away , moving forward until the crowd disperses , protestors are victims .
Of course drivers are scared when people flood the road attacking their vehicle in the middle of the night .
Their fight or flight instincts takes hold .
Drivers have been pulled out of their vehicles by angry protestors and beaten @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guns at drivers , shootings have occurred in Colorado and Texas .
Video litters the Twitterscape of protestors surrounding vehicles in traffic purposefully blocking the way , daring them to inch forward , daring them to push them out of the way .
So what are drivers in Colorado supposed to do , Gov .

Mayor Hancock ?
Do we just sit there and take the abuse waiting to be beaten or shot ?
Turn around and drive into oncoming traffic and take our chances ?
Should we call the police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their way through the angry mob to save us like this media bus in Los Angeles ?
This is what the angry mob looks like from the inside .
If protestors continue to attack vehicles with the excuse they were only trying to stop the car from hitting protestors farther down the street protesting in the middle of the road , at what point will the protestors be charged for breaking the law ?

coloradopeakpolitics--2020-09-25--Hickenlooper ad falsely claims Supreme Court nominee will get the rush job

Hickenlooper ad falsely claims Supreme Court nominee will get the rush job John Hickenlooper is wallowing in the mud again with an absurd claim in a new TV ad accusing U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner of rushing with “ lightening speed ” to confirm the next Supreme Court judge .
Imagine that .
A Democrat accusing Congress of working too hard , too fast , accomplishing too much .
Congress has never moved at lightening speed to accomplish anything , no matter the urgency or which party is in control .
Lightening speed , by U.S. Senate standards , is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Justice John Paul Stevens —19 days .
If Senate action was a roller coaster ride , they ’ d all be dead .
Here ’ s more lightening speed : The confirmation of the late Justice Sandra Day O ’ Connor took 33 days and Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’ s confirmation lasted 42 days .
Trump is expected to announce his nominee Saturday , which is 37 days before the election .
But the Senate has 100 days left in the session to “ lightning speed ” the confirmation of whomever President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the confirmation work and hearings are actually conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee , of which Gardner is not a member .
Hickenlooper ’ s claim Gardner is “ ready to rush through a Supreme Court justice in lightening speed ” is false for a couple of reasons .
Unless Trump ’ s pick is a Coloradan , it ’ s not even Gardner ’ s job to move a nominee through the Senate .
Gardner has no jurisdiction or control over the process at all .
He only shows up at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate floor .
And unless Hickenlooper is clairvoyant and can predict the future , he has no idea whether the Senate will move at an unprecedented lightening speed and approve the confirmation next week , or its usual snail speed and get to the confirmation before the session ends in 100 days .

Hickenlooper ad falsely claims Supreme Court nominee will get the rush job
John Hickenlooper is wallowing in the mud again with an absurd claim in a new TV ad accusing U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner of rushing with “lightening speed” to confirm the next Supreme Court judge.
Imagine that. A Democrat accusing Congress of working too hard, too fast, accomplishing too much.
Of course it’s bunk.
Congress has never moved at lightening speed to accomplish anything, no matter the urgency or which party is in control.
Here’s Hickenlooper’s claim from the ad:
“But boy oh boy, Cory’s ready to rush through a Supreme Court justice in lightning speed.”
Lightening speed, by U.S. Senate standards, is the time it took to confirm the late Justice John Paul Stevens —19 days.
If Senate action was a roller coaster ride, they’d all be dead.
Here’s more lightening speed: The confirmation of the late Justice Sandra Day O’Connor took 33 days and Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s confirmation lasted 42 days.
Trump is expected to announce his nominee Saturday, which is 37 days before the election.
But the Senate has 100 days left in the session to “lightning speed” the confirmation of whomever President Trump selects.
Keep in mind, all of the confirmation work and hearings are actually conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which Gardner is not a member.
Hickenlooper’s claim Gardner is “ready to rush through a Supreme Court justice in lightening speed” is false for a couple of reasons.
Unless Trump’s pick is a Coloradan, it’s not even Gardner’s job to move a nominee through the Senate.
Gardner has no jurisdiction or control over the process at all. He only shows up at the end for final votes on the Senate floor.
And unless Hickenlooper is clairvoyant and can predict the future, he has no idea whether the Senate will move at an unprecedented lightening speed and approve the confirmation next week, or its usual snail speed and get to the confirmation before the session ends in 100 days.
Hickenlooper’s mud-slinging add is false.

Colorado’s election chief sees dead people, tells them to vote
Secretary of State Jena Griswold is splitting her time defending mail-in voting as tamper-proof and above reproach, while also mailing notices to dead people and foreign citizens telling them how to vote above ground and in Colorado.
The postcards instruct non-qualified voters how to go online and register to vote.
CBS4 has learned of about a dozen people who received the postcards who shouldn’t have. They went to a deceased woman in Las Animas County, six migrant workers in Otero County, a Canadian in Douglas County, a man from Lebanon in Jefferson County, and a British citizen in Arapahoe County.
One woman received a postcard for her mother who died four years ago and hasn’t lived in Colorado since 1967.
The postcards were mailed to 750,000 residents names, of which an average of 10% will follow up and register to vote, according to the Secretary of State’s office.
(Editor’s Note: Insert warning here for readers to set down their drinks before they spew.)
Judd Choate, Director the Secretary of State’s Elections Division, doesn’t seem to know or care the cards go to dead people and non-citizens, but admits the notices also go to people younger than the legal voting age of 18.
He says he’ll take the chance that a few will get the postcard who shouldn’t, if it means increasing voter participation by 75,000 people.
So it’s okay if the election division is registering dead people, non-citizens, and kindergarten students, so long as the number of registered voters continues to increase.

And yet there was Hickenlooper , yelling at his mashed cauliflower that someone else should fix what he never bothered to .

Hickenlooper escapes basement to annoy voters with outdated campaign
John Hickenlooper is hopelessly outdated.
No matter how hard his campaign staff tries to turn their candidate into a hipster to connect with today’s youth and his party’s base, every time he opens his mouth he’s still Old Man Hickenlooper.
He’s the boring and annoying grandpa everyone ignores at Thanksgiving dinner as he rambles on nonsensically insisting vegetarian turkey was better back in his day because it was made with real vegetarians, or something.
So when Hickenlooper tried yet again to make a so-called Western Slope swing by making a couple of stops in Grand Junction Saturday, his staff stuck to Hick’s strengths and took him to a brew pup to drink beer.
While at the Ramblebine Brewery, Hick chatted up some outdoor industry folks, then stopped by RockyMounts to bump elbows before burping his way back to the Front Range.
Hickenlooper also talked to a Daily Sentinel reporter.
“We told my staff the other day about the ironies that are all through the Trump years,” Hickenlooper said. “We’re facing the worst hard times, and while you’re in the worst hard times, you’ve got to reboot the economy in a way that’s better. A big irony of the Trump administration was that he sold himself as a supporter of rural America, and yet, if you look at corn futures …”
OK, boomer.
We’re in the worst hard times now, as opposed to the best hard times you’ll give us when we’re all socialists getting free stuff until the workers stop making the free stuff for free and then we’re back to the worst hard times?

Religious group takes pandemic rules to court, Gov. Polis must address crowd limits
Gov. Polis will have to answer for the wide discrepancies in enforcement of his 175-person limits on the size of public gatherings due to COVID-19.
Liberty Counsel is suing the state in the U.S. District Court in Denver and asking for a temporary restraining order ahead of their pastors’ conference slated to start next week.
The lawsuit calls out Polis for having “excused from such restrictions untold thousands of protesters who have gathered all throughout Colorado cities, with no social distancing, and with no threat of criminal or legal sanction.”
We would all like to hear Polis answer to that one.
Attendance is restricted to 175 at Bandimere Speedway’s for which the racetrack is also suing the government, and the government is taking the racetrack to court for violating their attendance restrictions.
This politicalization of pandemic rules, when government turns a blind eye to enforcement when their friends break the rules, has got to stop.
No wonder folks are having a hard time trusting government to tell them the truth about the virus and how it spreads.


coloradopeakpolitics--2020-09-30--Prop 117 ad exposes how politicians raise your taxes by calling it a ‘fee’

Prop 117 ad exposes how politicians raise your taxes by calling it a ‘ fee ’ Unite for Colorado is out with a new ad promoting Prop 117 , the ballot measure forcing the legislature to seek voter approval before raising fees on services like hospitals and state parks .
As the grassroots organization Vote on Fees points out , with liberal majorities in the legislature the Taxpayer Bill of Rights is the only thing preventing Democrats from going completely out of control at the state capitol .
Colorado ’ s state legislature uses the word “ FEE ” to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to ask Coloradans for the permission to raise taxes required under our Taxpayer ’ s Bill of Rights .
Massive revenue increases like FASTER ( car registration ) fees , are taxes coming out of our pockets to pay for state programs , and should go through the same voter approval process as all tax increases .
It ’ s not complicated — just ask the people .
Two-thirds of state revenue now falls outside of TABOR .
We need to do a better job of managing our state ’ s more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quo of continuing to grow and create new state programs and finance them off of “ fees ” needs to end .
Democrats have recently been using fee increases as an end-run around the Taxpayer Bill of Rights , a state Constitutional amendment that gives voters the final say on all statewide tax increases .
The recent use of “ fees ” to short-circuit our Constitutional rights is extremely troubling , and fiscally responsible voters need to put a stop to it immediately .
Prop 117 is a major threat to Democrats and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government-run healthcare to income tax increases , voters have rejected nearly every statewide tax increase that has gone to the ballot under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights .
Democrats know their “ fee ” increases will face a similar fate if voters ever get a say when politicians demand more of our hard-earned tax dollars .
If Democrats really thought their tax increases worthwhile , why would they be afraid of the people having a say ?
Prop 117 will likely be an easy choice for conservatives and fiscally responsible Coloradans .

Colorado’s state legislature uses the word “FEE” to grow state programs and spending without having to ask Coloradans for the permission to raise taxes required under our Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. Massive revenue increases like FASTER (car registration) fees, are taxes coming out of our pockets to pay for state programs, and should go through the same voter approval process as all tax increases. It’s not complicated — just ask the people. Two-thirds of state revenue now falls outside of TABOR. We need to do a better job of managing our state’s more than $30 billion budget.

Hickenlooper loses debate with cardboard cutouts of Senator Gardner
Speaking of making a mockery of debates, John Hickenlooper’s new Twitter ad does just that as the Democrat rushes back and forth across the set pretending to debate cardboard cutouts of U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner.
Who could possibly lose a debate with cardboard? Hickenlooper did.
It’s hilarious, yet sad and pathetic.
In Colorado we see one Cory Gardner on TV, and a different Cory Gardner in DC. One Cory pretends he wants to protect coverage for pre-existing conditions, the other votes time after time to take it away. Coloradans are tired of the charade. pic.twitter.com/KNL5sGZ6vz — John Hickenlooper (@Hickenlooper) September 29, 2020
No wonder Hickenlooper has refused all those early debates with Gardner in real life, he’s terrible at it.
Hickenlooper has refused to appear with the real Gardner until the Pueblo debate on Friday.
Coloradans are tired of the charade, indeed.
Watching Hickenlooper play charades with mock-ups of Gardner is just as tiresome as hearing Chris Wallace shout “Mr. President” 3,461 times during Tuesday’s presidential debate.

Does Hick act like Trump ?
9News insists on using mute button at Senate debate The Oct. 13 debate between Colorado ’ s U.S. Senate candidates will be all about the moderator , Kyle Clark .
With a newly minted mute button firmly in hand , Clark is determined to control when U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner gets to speak , or when John Hickenlooper is saying something stupid and needs media protection .
Hickenlooper may come across as hapless and in desperate need of media protection like Joe Biden , but Gardner ’ s debate style is nothing like President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could make ordering a beer sound menacing , whereas Gardner would likely add , “ please.
” Clark just wants all the attention to be on him , his hair , his own bombastic views , did we mention his hair ?
Clark is clearly worried he can ’ t be the star of the night without a mute button at his disposal to continually draw attention back to himself .
And Clark might actually need it if Hickenlooper suddenly blurts out “ Green lives matter !
” while Gardner is pontificating on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s economy .
Hickenlooper was quick to thank Clark for vowing to step in if the debate gets too feisty , and pleaded for other Senate debate moderators to follow Clark ’ s lead .
Hickenlooper has turned down six debates with Gardner so he ’ s clearly afraid voters will reject him once they hear his radical views wither in the grip of Gardner ’ s grasp on reality .

It all started when Hickenlooper complained to the Sentinel about the ads calling attention to the former governor’s ethical violations, while falsely claiming he would never authorize attack ads against his opponent.
He also criticized the Colorado Republican Committee for spending $20 million on what he called “attack ads” that he believes misrepresent the situation.
