AG @PWeiser said he was "all in" on our Open Letter's nine asks. The record so far: words, not action. "All in" should look like using the AG's office to effectively repeal the Colorado AI Act — starting with a consent decree in xAI v. Weiser. Three requested actions: engagecolorado.org/article.h…

I've known @Pweiser for years. I was thrilled when he won the AG race. I also believe his behavior as AG is contributing significantly to Colorado's decline as a tech destination. The first test: how he responds to xAI's lawsuit challenging SB24-205. engagecolorado.org/article.h…

Kill the goose, lose the eggs forever. Colorado's tech ecosystem is the goose — funding our schools, jobs, and infrastructure. Over-regulate it and the geese fly elsewhere. We've fallen from 4th to 11th best state for business. 98 companies gone since 2019.

Enough is enough. Thats the message 380 of Colorado tech and business leaders sent in an Open Letter to @GovofCO and our political leaders. Governor Polis signed it himself. Nine concrete actions to get Colorado back on track: ensuring-colorado.vercel.app…

Colorado — do you hear the sound of deafening silence? The @WSJ piece ran. The Honest Assessment is published. The Open Letter has 380 signatures. With the welcome exception of @GovofCO, our political leaders have said almost nothing. @PWeiser, @SenatorBennet it’s your move.

Finally, I'm famous. I made @WSJ. Joking aside — the article that just dropped matters for all of Colorado — a wake-up call to leaders and voters. I just published the Honest Assessment of why we've lost innovation momentum: thehonestassessment.com/ The coming months will be consequential.

Rise above this Hick. Don’t be an echo chamber of your party. You and your staff know most Americans including most dems support voter id. Help find a pragmatic solution and move past the irresponsible position that voter id is wrong. Please!!!

Colorado has a $1.5B budget deficit (not long ago we were flush with cash and the citizens got tax refunds) due to gross mismanagement of the people’s money that is wasted on everything but things the citizens actually need. Our state budget was $29B in 2019, $44B this year and projected at $47Bish this year. These same people (Democrats) at the NO KINGs rally have all the power in our state of Colorado and have had their way for as long as I can remember. They never take their foot off the gas. They don’t listen to outside perspectives and anyone who disagrees with them even mildly is a Nazi (maggot, anti vaxxer, anti masker, covidiot Putin puppet, member of a cult etc etc,). Take a gander at their appearance on Saturday, most are disheveled slobs.

Officer Seriously Injured in Drug Sales Arrest; Suspect given $100 Bond Option BOULDER, Colo. – A Boulder Police officer was seriously injured last night after a drug suspect tried to run and the pair fell into Boulder Creek during the struggle. Despite the suspect’s criminal history, the serious nature of this crime, and the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office asking for a $20,000 secured bond, County Court Judge Eang Man gave the suspect a $1,000 bond with the option to only pay $100 to be released. “This incident is deeply troubling—not only because one of our officers was injured as a direct result of a suspect fleeing, but because it highlights the very real dangers that drug trafficking poses to our entire community,” Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said. “I also have serious concerns about whether the full risk to our community, the severity of this incident, and risk to and impact on our officers was reflected in the bond decision. This is a pattern that is frustrating because these bond decisions directly impact community safety and the well-being of the men and women who serve Boulder, as well as their families.” Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said, “This defendant is charged with a serious drug felony. It is especially aggravated because it happened in a public space in downtown Boulder. Then, the defendant caused significant and scary injuries to the police officer who attempted to enforce the law. I’m very thankful that the officer has been discharged from the hospital. Given the defendant’s criminal history, his actions here, and the injuries suffered by the officer, our prosecutor asked for a high, secured bond. That was definitely the right thing to do. Our office will continue to fight for justice in this case.” The incident began at approximately 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17, when officers were patrolling on foot in Central Park at 1236 Canyon Blvd. after receiving community complaints about drug dealing as well as calls of overdoses in the area. Officers saw a woman smoking suspected methamphetamine and while speaking with her, she pointed to a man near the creek who she said had sold her the drugs. Officers then spoke with that man, but when they asked him to sit down, he started to run away. An officer gave chase and the pair fell into the creek during the struggle to take him into custody. Despite the suspect landing on top of the officer and the officer hitting his head on a rock in the water, the officer managed to get up, hold on to the suspect and get him into custody with other officers before he collapsed. His fellow officers called for an ambulance and the officer was transported to the hospital. The officer suffered a serious concussion and cuts and bruises but has thankfully been discharged and is recovering at home. “According to the Boulder County Coroner’s Office, there were 26 fatal drug overdoses in the City of Boulder in 2025, many occurring in public spaces. This is exactly why our officers were proactively working to identify and stop those who are selling dangerous, potentially deadly drugs in our city,” Chief Redfearn said. “Last night, our officers were doing exactly what our community has asked of us. If the water levels in the creek were lower, or higher, this situation could have easily resulted in a life-altering or even fatal outcome. We are incredibly grateful that our officer was not severely injured.” The suspect in this crime—Kai Brown (date of birth 12/06/1976)—was found with several individually-packaged baggies of suspect methamphetamine. He was charged with: · 18-3-204 Assault in the Third Degree - Misdemeanor · 18-18-407 Special drug Offender - Felony · 18-8-103 – Resisting Arrest - Misdemeanor · 18-8-104 – Obstructing a Peace Officer - Misdemeanor · 18-18-405 –Distribution of a Level 1 Drug - Misdemeanor · 18-18-403.5 – Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance - Misdemeanor As in every criminal case, these charges are an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty.

Posts about ICE and Minneapolis are everywhere right now. Almost all of them are biased—either echoing a far-right or far-left narrative. I’ve read statements from Colorado political leaders that reflect the left side, some of which struck me as dishonest, irresponsible, and even incendiary. Today I was struck by something different. A mature, thoughtful, and responsible post came from someone who grew up down the street from me in Glenwood IL—a person I’ve largely lost touch with over the years. It’s worth amplifying: “I’m seeing many quick reactions on both the left and the right based on video clips of recent ICE encounters. I want to offer a different perspective—not to excuse or condemn anyone prematurely, but to explain how these situations are actually processed in real time. I say this as someone who has been in shoot/no-shoot situations. I’ll give one example that might be helpful. I was deployed as a military policeman in Mosul, Iraq, in 2008. On the north side of our base, there was a clearly marked deadly-force zone used only for military convoys. A military-aged man began approaching me and my partner quickly on foot as we were outside our Humvee. I chambered a round, took the safety off, and had my finger resting on the side of the trigger. I had seconds to make a decision—not based on what that person’s intentions were, but on what they were doing in a place where deadly force was authorized. Thankfully, they understood enough English to follow my commands, and the situation de-escalated. They were on a wanted list and surrendering. The key point is this: in that moment, I didn’t have the luxury of hindsight, slow-motion replay, or public commentary. I had limited information and immediate responsibility for my life and my partner’s life. Law enforcement officers are often in similar positions. They do not know intent. They cannot read minds. They can only assess behavior, context, environment, and perceived threat, and then act within policy and training—in real time. That doesn’t mean every action taken by law enforcement is automatically justified. It also doesn’t mean every video clip tells the whole story. Both things can be true at once. Before we rush to judgment—whether in defense or condemnation—it’s worth acknowledging how limited our perspective is when we’re watching a few seconds of footage without full context. My goal here isn’t to divide or provoke, just to add some context that often gets lost in these conversations.” Thoughtful. Grounded. Authentic. And exactly what feels missing right now. Thank you, Donnie.

We were at last night’s premier of “The Invite”. It was exceptional.

Now that is an invite worth RSVPing to. Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen, and Edward Norton arrive to the premiere of “The Invite” at the 2026 #SundanceFilmFestival.

Super funny!!!

Why is Crime Down?, Bob Yates asks in his December 2025 Boulder Bulletin. mcusercontent.com/eaad53fe6e… In Boulder, car theft is down 31%, aggravated assault 12%, burglary 21%, and arson 57%. Bob shares statistics to show that this is part of a nationwide trend, with violent crime down 10–20%, residential burglaries down 15%, and car theft down 25% from 2024. Moreover, these are the lowest reported levels since 1968 for both violent and property crimes. So, my question for each of you is: How do you feel about crime being down? And secondly: What is fundamentally different nationwide in 2025 that has led to this reduction in crime? As an aside, I want to express my appreciation for the Boulder community for voicing the importance of public safety. This made a big difference in our November City Council election, but we need to keep the pressure up, as the majority of the Boulder City Council has in the past been soft on crime. I also commend the great work of the Boulder Police Department in addressing crime. When answering the questions I posed in the comments below, please focus on the nationwide trend—not Boulder specifically.

Is Quantum the Missing Link? Humankind has made incredible strides in science and technology — yet we’ve barely scratched the surface in understanding how the human brain works. Or, for that matter, how the entirety of the human experience works. We still can’t explain consciousness. We can’t explain why identical twins or close relatives sometimes sense each other’s emotions across great distances. These phenomena are well-documented anecdotally, but science has no classical explanation. Could quantum mechanics be the missing piece? To me, the idea that it isn't seems ridiculous. Because the alternative is that we — our minds, our emotions, our sense of self — can be explained entirely by classical physics. That would mean we're just processors of ones and zeros. No way. Here’s an article that dives into this emerging frontier — where neuroscience and quantum physics begin to intertwine. popularmechanics.com/science… Curious what others think — are we on the edge of a major scientific paradigm shift?
