Open Letter to the Douglas County School Board
Sent by a concern parent
To,
President, Board Director Chrissy Williams
Board Director Brad Geiger
Board Director Susan Meek
Board Director Tim Moore
Board Director Becky Myers
Board Director Valerie Thompson
Board Director Kaylee Winegar
Superintendent Erin Kane
Board Directors and Superintendent Kane,
I am following up regarding the unscheduled agenda item announced towards the end of the August 27, 2024, Board meeting, specifically regarding a DCSD parent expressing concerns over classroom content via her social media account. I listened to the Board directors voice concerns regarding the medium chosen by the parent, but what I did not hear was sympathy for this parent’s child or the parent.
The curriculum issue, that is the topic at hand, was not DISCUSSED at the August 27 Board meeting. Instead, four Board Directors chose to focus on the medium this parent, Rep Bradley, used to bring attention to the matter, after previous channels were exhausted.
Colorado Open Meetings Law
At the August 27 Board meeting it was clear that Director Myers, Director Winegar, Director Moore, and President Williams spoke freely, without using notes, during discussions regarding the unscheduled agenda item. By contrast, Director Geiger, Director Meek, and Director Thompson all read from a script and kept looking at their tablets while they were talking. This leads one to believe that Geiger, Meek, and Thompson held discussions on this topic prior to August 27, and that these three possibly may have violated Colorado’s Open Meetings Law, which is to ensure that public business concerning public policy is not conducted in secret.
I mention this as it is odd that Geiger, Meek, and Thompson were so well prepared for this topic regarding Rep Bradley’s concern over curriculum, while Williams, Myers, Winegar, and Moore were not prepared.
Brandi Bradley
Representative Bradley is first, a mother, a very concerned mother, that has previously brought up concerns regarding curriculum by going to teachers, by going to the principal, by having discussions with Board Directors, and by having discussions with Superintendent Kane. These separate issues have collectively not been resolved, and as such, is the likely driver for why this mother turned to social media.
This most recent incident is regarding her 15 yr. old child, coming home, and asking what gender fluidity is, which he learned about in his high school World History Class. The teacher, who has FOUR Pride flags in her classroom, was justifying teaching that Leonardo da Vinci may have been gender fluid.
What was missing from the discussion was how this argument that da Vinci may have been gay and/or gender fluid, may be invalid. I listened to the recordings. Rep Bradley and her husband did not ask this curriculum to be removed. Rather, what I heard were parents asking that their viewpoints be considered, which the teacher did not consider stating that this is not a valid addition to the classroom discussion as religion is not part of instruction. This is troubling as the duty of DCSD is to teach children HOW to think critically, not WHAT to think.
Board Director Tim Moore
Director Moore stated that it is never okay to publicly release anyone’s personal identifiable information (POI), specifically not on social media as this type of behavior is dangerous and should not be used to get one’s point across. Moore implied that Rep Bradley doxed this teacher, and I will say that he is 100 percent wrong.
Rep Bradley DID NOT dox DCSD, the school, or the teacher. Various media outlets such as the New York Post, Newsweek, and DailyMail reported on this topic. Nowhere in any of these national outlets is DCSD, the teacher, or the specific school mentioned. Rep Bradley also did not list DCSD, the teacher, or the specific school in her social media posts, so it is unclear to me why Moore stated that any teacher’s or DCSD’s properties POI were mentioned by Rep Bradley.
Moore also chose not to address the absurdity that a DCSD World History high school teacher is teaching that Leonardo da Vinci was gender fluid. Who cares what da Vinci’s sexuality was? And what in good gravy does this have to do with World History? The question Moore should have asked himself and others is: Why does DCSD have a high school World History teacher that teaches about Leonardo da Vinci’s purported sexuality? And should have also asked what does da Vinci’s sexuality have to do with the Mona Lisa, and how many other DCSD parents are in the dark about what their children are learning?
Board Director Valerie Thompson
Director Thompson chose to bring up Rep Bradley’s social media post, in a coy manner, and emphasized that DCSD does not condone personal attacks on students and staff on social media. Like Moore, Thompson did not acknowledge what brought this parent to voice her concerns regarding the DCSD curriculum but rather falsely implied that Rep Bradley attacked a teacher. As referenced above, Rep Bradley DID NOT state DCSD, the high school, or teacher in her posts.
Thompson goes on to say that the fallout of “this behavior” can result in a “plethora of issues” for those being targeted. And she’s right – there are a plethora of issues now that Bradley is being targeted by DCSD’s Board of Directors as well as by the community at large.
Board Director Brad Geiger
Director Geiger spoke about the dangers of social media and that its citizens are within their rights to criticize the District, the Board, and teachers if they have “legitimate concerns”. I ask Geiger this question – who decides what are legitimate concerns? Geiger also stated that there are “certain phrases” that are used in attacking people that may incite “dangerous behavior”. Begs the question – what phrases does Geiger think would lead to dangerous behavior?
Geiger is right though regarding the power of social media. When Parasol Patrol along with Lacey Ganzy led a protest in front of DCSD in May of 2023, Geiger participated in this demonstration. Social media was the conduit to spread information about this demonstration that Geiger participated in. I wonder if any of the phrases used during this demonstration would be considered dangerous by Geiger?
Geiger went on to say that when “teachers are specifically identified and labeled” DCSD has to step up to support those teachers. Geiger knew and knows that Rep Bradley DID NOT use her social media to name DCSD, the high school, or the teacher. For Geiger to state this, is not only FALSE, but also spreading mis and disinformation within the community, the very thing Geiger is purportedly upset about.
Board Director Susan Meek
Director Meek began by stating that she would like to “strongly condemn the recent actions of a parent and elected official who chose to dox and publicly attack a dedicated teacher”. Doxing requires POI about the teacher being shared, with the objective of causing harm. Meek knows Rep Bradley DID NOT DO THIS. It is very troubling when an elected official such as Meek, chooses to use her power to spread mis/disinformation in the community. Meek knows that Rep Bradley DID NOT name DCSD, the high school, or teacher and yet stated that she did. This is wrong. I agree with Meek’s statement that no individual should be subjected to targeted harassment, yet that is what Meek did with this opening statement, by specifically targeting Rep Bradley.
Meek stated that Rep Bradley in her social media “engaged in targeted harassment driven by intimidation and malice”. Meek went on to say that the Board must stand united against any form of bullying or intimidation. This is laughable given Meek’s opening statement that Rep Bradley doxed and attacked a teacher. By stating this, Meek herself is participating in the very behavior that she claims is wrong.
Meek emphasized that it is important that DCSD ensures that teachers are protected. Yet at no time during her comments did Meek put emphasis on protecting students from curriculum indoctrination that teaches children WHAT TO think, not HOW TO think.
DCSD Board of Education Core Values per DCSD BOE Director handbook – link here
The DCSD BOE Director handbook states the BOE supports a “Safe, Positive Culture and Climate” (page 2). In this section, it is stressed that DCSD’s “purposeful focus is on creating a caring, safe, fun, supportive, and positive learning and working environment for all students, district employees, parents, and community is manifest throughout the district”.
I ask this question: How was this positive and safe learning environment incorporated when a parent’s child’s family value structure was challenged when her son was learning about “gender fluidity”, which this child and his parents had no clue was part of a high school teacher’s World History curriculum?
DCSD Employee handbook (Link here) Harassment (page 5), Religious Accommodation (page 10), and Pages 29-30 in attached PDF
- Harassment: DCSD’s Employee handbook defines harassment as “the act of engaging in any unwelcome physical or verbal conduct, or any written, pictorial, or visual communication, directed at an individual or group because of that individual's or group's membership in, or perceived membership in, a protected class, which conduct, or communication is subjectively offensive to the individual alleging harassment and is objectively offensive to a reasonable individual who is a member of the same protected class”.
- Religious Accommodation: DCSD’s Employee handbook on religious accommodation states that DCSD “respects the religious beliefs and practices of all” and “and will make, on request, an accommodation for such observances when a reasonable accommodation is available that does not create an undue hardship”.
Rep Bradley and her son are devout Christians, which are a protected class per State and Federal Law. When the high school World History teacher instructed Bradley’s son with the unsubstantiated theory that Leonardo da Vinci is “gay” and “gender fluid”, this teacher did not present counter arguments to this theory. When Rep Bradley and her husband stated to the teacher that they are devout Christians, the teacher stated that her class is not about religion and no accommodations were made for their son.
DCSD’s ThunderRidge Inclusion Policy, link here, and Page 31 in attached PDF
- DCSD’s ThunderRidge Inclusion Policy states it is committed to “supporting all students” and that students deserve to learn in an “inclusive environment”.
Here’s my question to the Board and Superintendent Kane: How is ThunderRidge supporting all students in an inclusive environment if a student’s religious beliefs are suppressed during a DCSD’s high school world history class and the teacher offers no accommodation to religious students?
DCSD Employee handbook (Link here) Social Media ( and Pages 29-30 in attached PDF
- DCSD’s Employee handbook regarding social media policy addresses employees who use personal social media. It states that social media may become a problem when it is “used to harass members of the community” or “harms the goodwill and reputation of DCSD amongst the community”.
- The handbook states that when no policy guideline exists, employees are “expected to use their professional judgement” and “take the most prudent action possible”.
- When employees mention DCSD in social media posts, they are to “make clear that you are a DCSD employee and that the views posted are yours alone and do not represent the views of DCSD”.
- The handbook also states that “All postings on social media must comply with DCSD’s policies related to unlawful discrimination and harassment, conflict of interest, confidential and proprietary information, anti-violence, and other applicable policies”.
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS BY BRAD GEIGER
Brad Geiger has a DCSD School Board Director C Facebook page that he regularly posts on, which contradicts Geiger’s statements during the August 27 Board meeting where he “spoke about the dangers of social media”. Geiger went on to state that there are “certain phrases” that are used in attacking people that may incite “dangerous behavior”.
Here below is a summary of some of Geiger’s recent social media posts on his DCSD School Board Director C Facebook page
- Brad Geiger’s DCSD School Board District C noted on page 10 of this PDF
- Brad Geiger’s August 28 10:52am post on his DCSD official, political public Facebook page stated that the Douglas County GOP is run by “anti-government fanatics”. Brad went on to state that a local elected official doxed and attacked a teacher on social media and that this was “political posturing by someone desperate to get attention” and “we will be facing more and more as this Mom’s for Liberty fanatic” seeks “social media clout”. Page 11 of this PDF
- On August 1, 2024 Geiger posted on his DCSD official, political public Facebook page that he will be co-hosting a meet and greet for Colorado Rep Bob Marshall and Alyssa Nilemo, House District 44 candidate. Brad asks that people “drop by and bring your energy, your enthusiasm, and your check book”. Brad’s post on his DCSD page also posted a link for people to donate to Alyssa Nilemo’s campaign. Page 12 of this PDF
- On July 22, 2024 Geiger posted his personal beliefs on his DCSD official, political public Facebook page regarding discussion of a Board policy. In his comments, Brad referred to commenters speaking at a DCSD Board meeting as politically partisan, bigoted folks, and fanatics. Read for yourself on Page 13 of this PDF
Brad Geiger is a member of Tiffany Love Baker’s “Douglas County Speakeasy” Facebook Group
Brad Geiger, using his PERSONAL Facebook page, is a member of the controversial “Douglas County Speakeasy” group that is owned by Tiffany Love Baker. Page 14 of this PDF
Tiffany Love Baker is also the owner of the Douglas County Watch Facebook page, where she regularly posts anti-Brandi Bradley posts.
***Why would Brad associate himself with someone who is using social media to harass and bully a parent of DCSD?***
BRAD GEIGER’S PARTICIPATION IN AN ANTI-DCSD RALLY
Brad Geiger participated in protest against DCSD regarding four families suing DCSD over purported racism. Serious question:Has Brad Geiger recused himself from DCSD BOE discussions pertaining to this lawsuit against DCSD given that he participated in a protest against the district and has demonstrated his inability to be impartial?
Additional information with a link showing Geiger participating in this demonstration can be found on Page 15 of this PDF
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS OF AND BY SUSAN MEEK ON HER DCSD BOE FACEBOOK PAGE
- On January 31, 2022 Board Director Susan Meek, and two former Board Directors, collaborated in a rogue zoom call. Susan Meek stated that “the three us are not allowed to have this call unless it is public”. Page 16 of this PDF
- On February 26, 2022 Susan used her open DCSD Facebook page to state the “new board members” actions cannot be justified. Page 17 of this PDF
- On October 22, 2022 Susan posted on her public DCSD Facebook page information and promotion of 5A and 5B. Page 18 of this PDF
I hope that it is clear that DCSD’s BOE’s reaction to a parent concerned about her son’s curriculum still remains unaddressed by the Board. The Board has chosen to make this mother’s concern a Board issue, ergo it is now a Board issue. I hope, and trust, that this mother’s religious beliefs will be taken into consideration in any discussion the Board may have regarding this topic.
I also hope that each Board Director and Superintendent takes time to read through the Appendix in the attached PDF, starting at Page 8. It is clear that Brad Geiger, and to a degree Susan Meek, has violated their own individual concerns regarding social media, as well as DCSD’ Employee handbook, given the uncouth and unprofessional statements made by them concerning parents and community members of Douglas County.
It would behoove DCSD to ask that Board directors refrain from using their professional Facebook to promote political candidates using their DCSD Board Director Facebook page and to ask that Board directors refrain from participating in demonstrations against DCSD.

You Are in the Wrong Party and Must Go to Jail,
According to Merrick Garland
Inspired by a Honey Badger Supporter
In the Theater of the Absurd that is Merrick Garland's Justice Department, the only thing is clear, if you're not sporting a "Vote Harris/Walz" bumper sticker, you might just be a criminal. That's right, folks, welcome to Merrick Garland's America, where the scales of justice are so unbalanced that they'd make Lady Liberty drop her torch in disgust.
Here we have Merrick Garland, who is perhaps auditioning for the lead role in "Profiles in Partisanship." This man has turned the Attorney General’s office into his own personal political war room. While he’s quick to mobilize the full weight of the DOJ against Trump allies, does anyone remember the dawn raids on Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro? Garland can't seem to find his moral compass when it comes to glaring issues with the Biden family. Hunter Biden’s escapades, anyone? Shh, that's just a "personal matter."
And let's not forget how Garland treats congressional oversight like an annoying housefly, swatting away subpoenas with the carefree disdain only a true partisan could muster. When the GOP tried to hold his feet to the fire, led by the stalwart Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who should came to Garland's rescue but the backstabbing Uniparty? Doug Lamborn, among other RINOs, skipped the critical vote and probably had a golf game or a cocktail party to attend, which helped shield Garland from a contempt citation.
But wait, there’s more! These same "Republicans," who control the House purse strings, could easily cut off funding to the DOJ's merry band of political hitmen. But why would they? Apparently, attacking the freedoms of average Americans is now a bipartisan hobby.
It’s a sad day when the rule of law becomes the rule of lawyers, particularly those who think 'justice' is a game where you pick a team and play to win, no matter the cost to the country. Merrick Garland’s DOJ isn’t just a disappointment; it’s a danger.
So, if you’re in the wrong party, beware, the DOJ might just have a cell with your name on it. After all, in Garland’s America, justice isn’t blind, it’s blatantly biased. I think I hear someone knocking on my front door, really loud…..I’ll be right back….
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."

Will Parker Turn Red This November, or
Slip Further into the Progressive Abyss?
As a Parker resident since 1986, I find it concerning and downright infuriating to watch our town's colors fade from vibrant red to murky purple/blue. But here we stand, on the brink this November, facing a critical choice that could either steer us back to our conservative roots or send us spiraling further into the depths of progressivism.
Let's call out the open wound causing our town's demise, the current Town Council under Josh Rivero’s leadership. They've been voting like they're playing a game of "Simon Says," but instead of fun, it's our town's future at stake. They've been rubber-stamping policies that would make Karl Marx blush. We need representatives who remember that the color red isn't for Communism; it stands for Conservatism, independence, and a backbone when it comes to governance.
We have 3 new Town Council candidates who bleed red, white, and blue and understand that preserving Parker's charm isn't about turning our town into Aurora but maintaining our conservative values and small-town magic. Enter our three candidates:
Brian Carruthers
Mike Drennan
Tim Lynott
I remember when Parker was synonymous with "More Horses than People." Now, we're looking at becoming the next Aurora. So, can Parker turn red again? Without a doubt, yes. But it requires every one of us to rally. We need to keep leaders like Mayor Jeff Toborg in office, a leader who remembers what Parker stands for. We need new council members who won't just go with the flow but will swim against it if it means preserving conservative values and principles.
Let's make this election about reclaiming Parker for the people who love it for its conservative heart, not for those who see it as another notch on their progressive belt. It's about Faith, Family, and Country. Let's turn Parker redder than a beet in July and show the nation that when conservatives unite, we don't just talk about taking our town back, we do it.
So, when you go to vote in the Town of Parker elections, remember these conservative candidates on your ballot:
Jeff Toborg – Mayor
Brian Carruthers – Town Council
Mike Drennan – Town Council
Tim Lynott – Town Council
"I want Christians to consider who they vote for. We look a lot at the presidential elections. And that's where so much of our focus is, especially from the media, but some of the most important elections are the local elections - the mayors, city council members, county commissioners, school boards.
We need Christian men and women not only running for office but voting and getting behind other
Christians that are running for office."

Say What You Want of Local Races, If Trump Loses,
They Will Round Us Up!
Listen up, fellow patriots. Here we are, in the heart of Douglas County, where common sense still has a pulse, and yet, we're staring down the barrel of a political shotgun. If Donald J. Trump doesn't clinch the 2024 election, you might as well start packing your bags for the reeducation camps, because that's where we're headed under "Comrade Harris."
The latest Colorado Rasmussen Reports Poll (8/24-9/4, 1,838LV) has Trump 47%, Harris 46%. Trump can win this in Colorado!!!
Now, let's chew on this for a moment. Dick Cheney, yes, “that Dick Cheney,” the man once vilified by every liberal with a pulse, has decided to throw his lot in with Kamala Harris. The same Democrats who called him a war criminal are now embracing him like he's the prodigal son returning with a peace offering. How's that for irony? Or should I say, hypocrisy?
Here's the kicker, Cheney says Trump is the biggest threat to our republic. Really, Dick? More than the woman who couldn't even make it through her own party's primaries last time around? The Party that can’t tell you what a woman is? More than an administration that would likely turn our Bill of Rights into a "Bill of Suggestions"?
Let's get real. If Trump loses, it's not just a loss, it's the knockout punch for freedom as we know it. We're talking about a future where your conservative values and principles aren't just unpopular, they're criminalized. Think I'm exaggerating? Look at how they treat free speech now. Imagine what happens if Trump loses.
The Cheney’s, in their ivory tower, think they're saving the GOP from Trump. But here's the newsflash: the GOP without Trump, or someone like him, isn't the GOP at all. It becomes a spineless entity, a ghost of its former self, drifting towards irrelevance while the left turns America into a socialist experiment.
And for those Never-Trumpers cheering this on, dreaming of a return to the good old days where they controlled the narrative? Wake up. The base has moved on. You're not leading this parade anymore; you're barely in the band.
So, here's the deal, my fellow patriots. If Trump falls, the dominoes topple. Your guns, your freedom of speech, your right to worship, all of it goes under the guise of "progress." We won't just lose an election; we'll lose our country to a regime that thinks the Constitution is an outdated suggestion.
Remember, when they come for you, there won't be anyone left to speak out. So, let's make sure Trump wins, because the alternative isn't just bad; it's the endgame for American liberty. --- This message isn't just a call to vote; it's a call to wake up and fight for the soul of America.

Your Legislators Have Betrayed You
Yet Again in a Sham Special Session
Well, folks, here we are again. Another "special" session in Colorado has ended, and guess what? You, the hardworking taxpayer, got the short end of the stick (surprise, surprise). Governor Polis and his merry band of legislative hooligans have just signed into law what they're calling "modest tax cuts." But let's not kid ourselves; this was nothing more than a political trick to run yet another scam on us.
Here's the deal: Two ballot initiatives, Initiatives 108 and 50, were set to potentially save you a whopping $2.4 billion in property taxes. But, oh no, that was too much relief for the likes of us common folk. Instead, our esteemed leaders decided to negotiate with the very groups pushing these initiatives, essentially holding our financial relief hostage.
What did we get in return? A paltry $255 million in tax cuts starting in 2025, with some caps on how fast your property taxes can grow. Sounds good? Well, it's a drop in the bucket compared to what could've been. And let's not forget that these politicians patted themselves on the back for this "compromise," claiming they've ended the property tax wars. They've really ensured that the war on your wallet continues.
Let's break down this charade:
The So-Called Tax Cuts: They're touting a $255 million tax cut like it's some grand victory. But let's cut through the smoke and mirrors – this is peanuts compared to the $2.4 billion you could've saved with Initiatives 108 and 50. They've robbed you of significant relief and handed you back crumbs, expecting gratitude.
The Betrayal: These initiatives were your chance for real change, a way to force the government to think twice before dipping into your pockets. But no, our "representatives" decided they'd rather negotiate with lobbyists and special interest groups than listen to the will of the people.
The Political Charade: Governor Polis claims this brings unity. What a load of bull! This unity is nothing more than a united front against the taxpayers. They've turned what should have been a straightforward legislative process into a backroom deal, where your future was traded for political favors.
The Insult: They've capped how fast your property taxes can grow, but in the grand scheme, this does little to combat the skyrocketing cost of living in Colorado. They're essentially telling you to be thankful for a slower rate of getting poorer.
This special session was nothing more than a legislative heist, where the robbers wear suits and smile for the cameras. They've taken what could have been significant taxpayer relief and turned it into a token gesture, all while claiming victory over the very crisis they helped perpetuate.
So, Colorado, when you see your property tax bill next year, remember this moment. Remember how your Republican elected officials chose to play politics rather than truly serve the people. They've not only screwed you over but did so with such flair that they expect you to thank them for the privilege. (Did they use lube this time, it doesn't feel like it).

The CR Addiction: It's Time for an Intervention
Listen up, fellow patriots, it's time we talk about something more addictive to Congress than lobbyist cash, Continuing Resolutions. Yes, you heard that right. CRs are Congress's crack cocaine, and it's high time we stage an intervention.
Now, you'd think our esteemed representatives would have learned by now. Every year, it's the same old song and dance. Instead of doing their job and budgeting like adults, they hit the CR pipe, passing the buck to tomorrow for a hit today. Why? Because standing firm requires backbone, something in short supply in the hallowed halls of Congress.
Let's break it down for those in the back sipping on their liberal tears mug: A Continuing Resolution is Congress's way of saying, "Let's just keep the lights on and worry about the bills later." But here's where it gets spicy, they tried to sneak in a voter ID requirement with the latest CR, and guess what? Colorado Democrats shot it down like it was a skeet disc at a conservative picnic.
And let's chat about this voter ID thing because, frankly, it's common sense wrapped in an American flag. You need an ID to buy a beer and get a fishing license, but for voting, the very cornerstone of our democracy? Nah, just trust the system, they say. Trust, but don't verify, that's the Progresives' motto. (oh my head hurts)
Secretary of State Jena Griswold thinks noncitizens voting is a conspiracy theory (just like Venezuelan gangs in Aurora). Well, Jena, in a world where you need ID to adopt a cat, asking for one to vote shouldn't be the plot of a political thriller. But no, let's keep it on the honor system, because if there's one thing illegal immigrants are known for, it's strictly adhering to the honor system and our laws, right?
Here's the kicker: Republicans, or at least the brave few, are trying to put an end to this CR nonsense. They understand that if we can't stand firm on something as basic as voter integrity, then where? The next thing you know, we'll be debating whether you need ID to run for office.
So here we are, watching Congress kick the can down the road, addicted to the quick fix of CRs, while our nation's integrity hangs by a thread. It's time to say no to this legislative drug. No more CRs. No more compromises on voter ID. If we don't draw the line here, we might as well hand over the keys to the country with a "Help Yourself" sign. You know, like Colorado has done.

government when it's wrong."

A Concocted Bogeyman
Democrats love to label Donald Trump as a "threat to democracy." Ask them about him, and they'll reflexively spit it out as if it’s their programmed response to any question, even "What time is it?" might get you "Threat to democracy o'clock." But let's cut through the crap: the actual peril to our Republic isn't lurking in the shadows; it's parading in broad daylight, donned with a donkey pin and a Harris/Walz 2024 button.
Here we are, dealing with not one but two assassination attempts on Donald J. Trump, fueled by the relentless Democrat media drumbeat of doom and gloom. These are just the attempts we know of. How many more might there have been, halted by a sudden awakening of conscience or a neighbor’s timely call to the authorities? We can only guess, but a safe bet says it’s more than zero.
When you incessantly paint someone as Hitler 2.0, what outcome do you expect? You get followers so starved for approval that they blur the lines between citizen and would-be assassin. And after the first assassination attempt? Oh, the Democrats paused their smear campaign for a whopping three days. Then, as predictable as sunrise, it was back to business, Trump the monster, the Constitution under siege, yada yada.
Following the second attempt, was there a moment of reflection? Not a chance. It was straight back to the blame game. "If Trump didn't want to be targeted, maybe he shouldn't act so... Trumpy?" That’s essentially the garbage Karine Jean-Pierre peddled at the podium, mumbling justifications while simultaneously stoking the flames.
This isn’t about belief or principle; it’s purely about power. They are actively nurturing an environment where violence against their political adversaries is, if not outright encouraged, then subtly overlooked. It's all part of their strategy to maintain control, by keeping their base in a constant state of outrage and fear. Because if you’re scared or angry, you’re not thinking clearly, you’re just reacting. That’s exactly how they prefer it.
The real threat to our Republic isn't some concocted bogeyman from the right; it's the calculated, cold-blooded strategy from the left to demonize, dehumanize, and ultimately dominate. They talk a good game about saving democracy, while they’re the ones striking the match beneath it. Welcome to the new age, where democracy doesn’t die in darkness, but in the glaring light of media manipulation and political hypocrisy.

So, a question you might have is, “Why Honey Badger”?
Honey Badgers have been described in the Guinness Book of Records as the "most fearless animal in the world" and can even fight off much larger predators like lions and hyenas if challenged. We know the political landscape is filled with hyenas, thus, we need the Honey Badger.
"You may think that I'm a confrontational jerk, and you may be right. But the confrontational jerk community serves an important purpose. No cultural battle can be won or has ever been won anywhere in the world without us.
You need us, whether you like it or not."

RINO Watch Colorado
Mission Statement
RINO Watch Colorado is the voice of grassroots Republicans, and the one-stop resource for news, editorials, websites and podcasts that cut through the Establishment and liberal spin.
We expose RINOs and support grassroots Patriots. We are a collective of grassroots activists.
A RINO is a Republican In Name Only. Someone who claims to be Republican but whose actions show they have abandoned GOP principles. RINOs often work in tandem with Democrats to destroy grassroots Republicans.

Parker Conservatives Meeting
A note on Deep Space
Are you planning a conservative event and in search of the perfect venue? Deep Space in Parker could be an excellent fit for you if you expect at least 80 attendees and plan on ordering food and beverages. While there is a minimum spend requirement, this should easily be met with a guest list of 80-100 people. If you're interested, please contact me, and I'll connect you with the owners of Deep Space to discuss further details.
Please note that Parker Conservative meetings are PRIVATE
and for Conservatives ONLY!
Media outlets and any type of journalist are NOT INVITED
and will be turned away.
Parker Conservative meetings are held in a
private meeting space that is not open to the public.
