Question: Do animals have souls, and where do they go when they pass away?
Believe it or not, it’s that time again. Elections are just around the corner.
When I fired up the old computer Friday morning, I could feel the blood begin to drain almost immediately from my face. As I moved from one local news site to the next — starting with The Sun, of course — the same story appeared almost everywhere.
The answer to this question is actually very easy to answer. Mr. Lamborn, is against anything that will assist the citizens and constituents of his district unless it is benefits and assists his major contributors: the military industrial complex, big oil, big pharma, mining interests, big…
This Valentine’s Day, as many of us were snuggled up indoors, an Arctic blast swept down through the nation. In Texas, millions went for days without power because of energy shortages, all while one of the state’s senators, Ted Cruz, was headed to enjoy a well-deserved vacation in sunny Canc…
While few people enjoy piling on Ted Cruz as much as I do, I have to admit that Cruz’s trip to Mexico during the Texas energy crisis is, as he said himself, a distraction from the real problem — which is that Texas, of all places, ran out of gas, or at least its ability to deliver gas.
Question: Should governments be able to create laws that prevent people of a particular faith from entering their borders?
After last week’s winter weather catastrophe in Texas, we can imagine Jerry Jones sitting in a highrise somewhere looking just like the cat that ate the canary. Coloradans likely know him as the billionaire owner of the Dallas Cowboys, but he also controls Comstock Resources, a natural gas o…
Inside Out Youth Services has released an open letter to District 5 City Councilor Jill Gaebler condemning what it called transphobic comments on social media. Since President Joe Biden’s executive order, “Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orie…

Grassroots progressives put Biden in the White House… but what do we get for that?
Question: Since many religions actively receive donations and are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, why are we giving them a tax break?
On Day Five, the final day of the Trump impeachment trial, the United States Senate voted to let Donald Trump off the hook for what is likely the most dangerous and disgraceful set of actions by any president since the nation’s founding.
It doesn’t take a time-traveling DeLorean to learn some important economic lessons from the past. One of the greatest to come out of the last two decades is that recovering from economic disaster shouldn’t, but almost certainly will, fall victim to politics.
When I started transitioning and coming out, in the halcyon days of 2015, I was lucky to do so during the heyday of New York-based indie publisher Topside Press. Topside put out novels written by trans authors, for a largely trans audience. Growing up in the ’90s and muddling through my 20s …
Yes, this is the question of the day for Doug’s CO-3 constituents. Besides his voting in lock-step to overturn a legal, fraud less election results and insurrection; supporting a riot to take over the OUR Capitol by armed treasonous militia; supporting a deceitful, dishonest, untruthful, c…
As Americans, we're divided.
Under the heading about Republican, you include reference to an attempted takeover of the Capitol. Are you sure that term is adequate? Was it a takeover or was it vandalism? Evaluate, if you please. Have you actually gone out and performed an in depth examination of the party affiliation of …
….and now we know he rest of the story…. …as the late Paul Harvey used to say at end of his radio broadcast… Indeed, we now know the rest of the story - perhaps not the whole story - but enough to know the real political beliefs, views and dogmas of former Senator Cory Gardner and how easy …
As a child I struggled with the disparity between religion and superstition in my country of origin, Bolivia. Once enculturated in this country, whenever I returned to my roots, every 5 years or so, for a short visit, I kept hoping that things had changed in that respect; unfortunately they …
You can’t begin to overstate what just happened in Washington, the place where good ideas go to die, if, in fact, anyone even notices them at all.
February is Black History Month. Lest it be celebrated in peace, this month kicked off with reports of the racist AF way Black history is viewed by politicians and taught in many schools.
It’s almost like the universe, appalled by our inattention, used COVID, George Floyd, the broken economy and Trump’s post-election lie-fest, right up to the Capitol insurrection of Jan. 6, to make us stop. To make us see how polarized and lost America has become and force us to re-examine th…
Question: In the “Month of Love,” what is your best advice for strengthening a relationship?
What is it about billionaires and multimillionaires that make them both self-entitled and clueless about the impacts of their greed?
We put a lot of pressure on kids going to college. On the day they emerge into the real world as adults, most will carry a hefty weight of debt on their backs.
On the morning of the inauguration, my wife put raspberries, pears and blueberries in my daughter’s cereal — red, white & blue, you understand. Then for our lunch celebration, my daughter had this little scene waiting on the table.
Question: President Joe Biden is only the second Catholic president. Should world leaders mix their political stance with religion?
For all of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s attention-grabbing antics in her first days in Congress, it looks as if she is still having to play catch-up if her ambition is to be the leading U.S. House crazy. It must be driving her nuts.
In a world that’s clogged and choking with a massive overdose of plastic trash, you’ll be heartened to learn that governments and industries are teaming up to respond forcefully to this planetary crisis.
The first column I ever wrote for The Indy and “Queer & There” was about a protest march I attended before Donald Trump’s inauguration. I wrote about my fears, as a trans person, of what the next four years might hold. At the time I worried I might have been a bit hyperbolic, but the act…
As Jan. 6 dawned and a truly alarming number of congressional Republicans were poised to vote against certification of the presidential election, Judd Legum’s online politics newsletter Popular Information published a connect-the-dots kind of article. In “20 corporations, $16 million, and 13…
This time last month, most of us were anticipating the move from 2020 to 2021. For obvious reasons (COVID-19 and its economic consequences, the expression of white supremacy, the murder of George Floyd, just to name a few) we hoped the new year would bring with it a magical restart.
Now that all the beautiful speeches about unifying a country in disunion are over and done, we should note that the clock on President Joe Biden’s honeymoon period is already ticking. In fact, that sound you hear might be the alarm going off.
Question: Children should be taught a comprehensive and detailed overview of all major religions at school. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
"I’ll tell you a secret to adulthood,” my mum told me from the other side of the world, when I was 27.
Was it politically motivated? Almost certainly.
Our city’s relationship with the LGBTQ community has been tumultuous at best. We went from having the largest queer space in the Western states, Hide and Seek, to being labeled the nexus of the “hate state” with the passage of Amendment 2; from being the first city in Colorado to implement p…
As we celebrate the inauguration of a new president, what is your prayer for the political world?
If you’re wondering why the Senate must hold an impeachment trial of Donald Trump even after he’s no longer president, even if it’s unlikely that the required 17 or so Republicans will ever vote to convict, even if the trial would impede Joe Biden’s first days in office, you don’t have to lo…
Dear Congressman Lamborn and Congresswoman Boebert,
