All episodes →Yes, we are experiencing a drought. Droughts in Colorado are nothing new, so it would be great if PBIs would store water for a non-rainy day. Engaged citizen Mike Rawluk addresses the recent Denver Water board meeting and its plan to hire fifteen additional enforcers to catch customers using more water than the PBIs think they should. Rancher Trent Loos discusses election results. Plus we’ll talk with Carl Jones, owner of Radiance Power, and mortgage specialist Lorne Levy.

The WWII Battle of Tarawa was a 76-hour key battle in America’s Central Pacific Campaign.

A combat engineer, he posthumously received the Medal of Honor, the Purple Heart and other awards. Sandy Bonnyman’s bones lay buried under the sand of Tarawa for over 70 years.

Are signs speech? In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Highway Beautification Act.

“The state, or, to make the matter more concrete, the government, consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time it is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.”
H.L. Mencken
1. (noun) The act of looting or plundering, especially in war. 2. (noun) Goods taken by looting; plunder. 3. (verb) To rob a place or people of goods by force.
