Letter to the Editor – Supreme Court should revisit Obergefell decision

PROMO Miscellaneous - Open Mail Box Letters - iStock

In a well-deserved defeat for the left-wing bigots who actually believe it's okay to discriminate against, legally persecute, and make criminals out of decent, moral businesspeople (e.g., Christian bakers, photographers, etc.) who merely don't want to cater to heterophobic homosexuals, the U.S. Supreme Court recently decided 6-3 to outlaw that outrageous discrimination (303 Creative LLC v. Elenis).  It's high time that judgmental, intolerant, extremist left-wing bigots were put in their place.

To the Editor:

Americans are losing faith in our Supreme Court, and it's easy to see why.

In the year since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, abortion has been effectively banned (with extremely limited exceptions) in fourteen states. Nearly 1 in 3 Americans have lost access to abortion care.

To the Editor:

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. The federal grand jury that recently indicted Donald Trump certainly did.

Trump publicly and repeatedly confirmed that he intentionally took classified documents, hid them in his private residence, and tried to prevent law enforcement from obtaining what he stole. According to the indictment, those documents contained highly classified information about America's defense and weapons capabilities, our nuclear secrets, and our potential military vulnerabilities.

In consideration of the May 25th BOCC wind turbine setback meeting and statements that were made by me and others, I felt it would be helpful to review the previous meeting's video from May 11th. In doing so, several things caught my attention. I would like to mention them and offer comment for consideration:

Letter to the Editor and the Kiowa County Sheriff's Office,

I would like to thank Lonnie Eder and Scott Pearcey for stopping traffic on Highway 287 the afternoon of May 26 for the funeral procession of their father-in-law, and my brother, Larry Watts, a longtime and prominent resident, as well as a former law enforcement officer of Kiowa County.

I would like a public apology from the Kiowa County Sheriff's office to Larry's family, especially his wife, Linda, also an employee of Kiowa County, with her office located right next-door to the sheriff's office. 

Opinion - The current Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW) plan for reintroducing wolves into Colorado is deeply flawed

What is missing are plans to re-introduce Wolves into all 13 Colorado Counties that voted overwhelmingly in support for Wolf Re-introduction. These Counties have thousands of acres that already support successfully other Predators they have learned to co-exist with. The rest of the 41 Colorado Counties, by vote, are not in favor for Re-introduction.
