I tried image generation in ChatGPT. My first attempt failed; GPT froze. But the second time I thought GPT hit it out of the park:

Make American Debt Great Again.

I made my wife a spaghetti dinner. To quote the Bible, "This is some serious gourmet shit."

In this post, I condemn Trump's shameful policy of deporting Russian dissenters fleeing Putin's regime. It's unjust, illegal, and damaging to US interests. But consistent in those respects with Trump's other refugee policies: reason.com/volokh/2026/...

Thank you to SPJ for recognizing my work for the Colorado Times Recorder, and congratulations to the many other fine Colorado and regional journalists recognized for their work.

People on the left need to implement a "zero tolerance" policy for conspiracy mongering. Three things can be true: It was a real assassination attempt, that's horrible, and an effect is to distract attention away from serious problems in the country.

The United States is operating concentration camps rife with abuse. reason.com/2026/04/22/r... Absolutely shameful. Donald Trump will go down as among the worst presidential violators of civil rights in U.S. history since slavery.

"How dare Democrats finish the redistricting fight that Republicans started!"

Someone on FB referred to Trump's "Liquor Cabinet"; I thought that was pretty good.

"As the Colorado GOP Turns" is more entertaining than any soap on TV. (But, you know, disturbing.)

My take on the Chiles decision: coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/04/desp... (Also the majority decision explicitly recognizes " traditional tort malpractice claims" in this context.)

I think we should ramp up social studies testing, not roll it back. My Colorado column: completecolorado.com/2026/04/14/t...

NEW: We’re demanding policy changes after Maryland police secretly relied on a faulty facial recognition match and wrongly jailed an Oklahoma mother for 6 months for a crime she didn’t commit in a state she had never been to. This should never happen to anyone else. Ms. Williams deserves justice.

We coulda had Kamala.

In the past few days, Trump has insulted Islam, mocked the Pope, and cast himself as Jesus. He is also a serial philanderer, compulsive liar, and open bigot. Of course evangelicals love him.

One down...

A U.S. appeals court on Friday declared unconstitutional a nearly 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling, calling it an unnecessary and improper means for Congress to exercise its power to tax.

NEW: Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Joe Oltmann is intensifying his antisemitic attacks on the "Synagogue of Satan Jews" who Oltmann claims control the world and run Colorado

We're "Making America Great Again" by, uh, locking up seven-year-old autistic girls with their moms. vancouversun.com/news/ice-gua... Absolutely shameful.

COMMENTARY: A gubernatorial candidate's badly-botched map of Colorado is a silly mistake, not a cause for outrage. It's a reminder to journalists that we don't need to participate in bad faith fake outrage. Even if that means we're accused of bias.

The Tate brothers, who have been accused of sexual misconduct in three countries, had their devices seized by law enforcement when they arrived in the U.S. Days later, a White House official told DHS to return them. (Published Nov. 2025)

What an absolute piece of shit human being Donald Trump is.

Creationism Attempt at Charter School Illustrates Broader Antagonism Toward Science. My new column: coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/crea...

NEW: President Trump makes four false claims in a 43-word post about Tina Peters. Peters is 70 (not 73), does not have cancer, was sentenced by a judge in Mesa County (not the Governor), and did not expose fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Shiny.

NEW: Clemency for Tina Peters would be unprecedented, based on my analysis of Gov Polis' 25 commutations. Peters hasn't shown remorse, taken accountability, or sought to restore harm. No Polis commutation was for a harsh sentence alone and Peters' would be the shortest by 30+ yrs

NEW: Governor Jared Polis (D) tells me Tina Peters would have to show appropriate contrition for her crimes to receive clemency. Polis is clearly leaning strongly toward it. Our conversation tonight on @nexton9news.bsky.social at 6pm on 9NEWS/streaming on 9NEWS+.

Today, the CSP team was at the state capitol where House Bill 1001 passed out of the Senate Local Government & Housing Committee on a 4-3 vote! Thank you to our amazing Senate sponsors Sen. Tony Exum and @senadorajulie.bsky.social. Next steps: Pass the Senate floor vote!

NEW: Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubenstein (R) who prosecuted Tina Peters says Gov Jared Polis (D) giving Peters clemency "would be a gross injustice." Rubenstein points out that separate case cited by Polis to justify clemency misses the purpose of sentencing ranges.
