Is this a sign of the future or nothing more than disgruntled citizens wanting to be heard?
As unusual as the idea of forming a new state may sound to some, others understand the frustration the residents in Weld County are experiencing. Although a smaller population, which equates to a lower representation in state legislature. The northern counties produce 70% of the states revenue. Why then are their pleas for repairs to their roads and tax relief falling on deaf ears by the urbanites in the southern cities? Only the citizens of Colorado will be able to answer these questions but until they do it shouldn’t be a surprise to hear complaints start to turn into calls for secession. A little compromise might go a long way.

We’ve all been involved in childhood pranks but at times the ego jousting among young friends can end up with a trip to the emergency room. Unfortunately for this teen something as innocuous as a condiment turned out to be far more damaging than having his arm placed into cast.
As parents we spend hours preparing our kids on how to avoid the worse in life but is our time spent proportionally to the risks they might face? I myself have spoken to my daughter numerous times about the dangers of human trafficking but dares like this is far more probable to occur during a sleep over or party.

One thing is for sure I’m readying myself for the rolling eyes, sighs and gestures as if I’m saying something she already knows when I bring this lesson up later today. If you’re a parent please take the time to read the article and speak to your kids. They’re our greatest accomplishment and meaning in life.

My prayers go out to the boy and family dealing with these horrible circumstances.

The American people have always been understanding and unless the circumstances involve a horrendous act forgiving. What they are not is simpleminded, moronic or foolish. Still stories are continually changing as if earlier statements will go unnoticed. However, the recent testimony on the hill and continual media discoveries has made it clear the scenarios given by various government agencies are anything but accurate.

I doubt we will ever know what truly happened in Benghazi but one thing is obvious what’s been said so far is far from the truth. The inconsistencies from all who either “knew or should have known” what was going on is beyond denial for even the most ardent supporter of either the administration or the Department of State.

Mistakes were made, which unfortunately led to the loss of life of some great patriots and heroes but the greatest blunder is not leveling with the American people. Why was there editing of intelligence reports to formulate more suitable talking points, and for whom were the modifications meant to placate?

At this point the media should be developing timelines and pushing for answers as to why the various pieces of information aren’t adding up. This isn’t a partisan politics it’s doing what the American people expect from our free press. Discovering the truth.
