Things I Don’t Understand
by Joseph M. Valenzano
June 24, 2020
Rioters and protesters tore down the monuments to Francis Scott Key, author of the Star-Spangled Banner, our National Anthem, and the statue of Father Junipero Serra, founder of the Spanish Missions in California. The monument to Christopher Columbus in NYC was defaced as was St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The New York Museum of Natural History just decided to remove the statue of Teddy Roosevelt, which has stood at the entrance of the museum since 1940.
It seems that young revolutionaries want to rewrite our history, but how is that possible? You cannot erase history; you can only learn from it. George Santayana once wrote, “ those who ignore the lessons of history are condemned to repeat it .” So, I am wondering, if we consciously try to erase history and rewrite it as we believe it should have been, how will we ever learn of the mistakes we made in the past so that they will not be made again? But here’s a thought: Why not get back to teaching history instead of advocacy in schools?
- So, if a police officer shoots a criminal after being assaulted by that criminal, it is the cop’s fault, but if a criminal shoots someone, it’s the gun’s fault? Help me understand that, please.
- I have lived in America for all my 73 years. I am probably old-fashioned, but it has been my experience that police typically leave you alone if you are not doing illegal stuff. So here is another thought: How about teaching our kids to be responsible for their actions and respect police, adults, and senior citizens? This is a process that begins in the home.
- Does Black Lives Matter (BLM) include aborted black babies, murdered black police officers, black on black killings, or does BLM respond only when a white police officer kills a black man or woman?
- So, now the classic movie Gone with the Wind has been removed, and high school students no longer are asked to read the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain or To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.. They are banished from school curricula. That is sad and a significant loss from an educational perspective.
Does anyone remember Hattie McDaniel? She was the first black American actress to win an Oscar for her performance in – wait for it – Gone with the Wind. Is her name and performance now cast aside and gone forever because of the new revolutionaries telling us what we can and cannot read or see? Read more …

It’s been too long.
We miss seeing your face in-person and discussing current political events.
After 3 months following Colorado’s “Stay-or-shelter-at-home” policy due to the Coronavirus, it’s time to break free.
On this Saturday, June 13th the North Suburban Republican Forum (NSRF) will be meeting from 9:00am-11:00am.
We won’t be inside the Amazing Grace Community Church but outside it, using their picnic tables to social distance.
We’ll have beverages but not food.
Wear a mask if you want.
Bring a friend or two but join us.
Everyone is welcome.
Let’s get back to what was considered normal.
We’ll have an open forum to discuss what has happened, what’s going on now, & what’s coming.
Please RSVP to info@NorthSuburbanRepublicanForum.com with how many people are coming.
See you this Saturday morning!
Your NSRF Board of Directors

It has been difficult to miss the animadversions leveled at Republican governors around the country by most of the national media for their proposals to re-open their states. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has probably taken the brunt of it, his plan being called ridiculous and irresponsible by the likes of Lord High Commissioner Sanjay Gupta on CNN. Others have labelled it “stupid” and “crazy.” South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was on the receiving end of a rant from Sen. Elizabeth Warren on MSNBC for her laissez-faire approach to containing the crisis in her state. Ron Desantis of Florida has absorbed no end of criticism from the beginning, despite Florida appearing to have weathered this storm remarkably better than his detractors had predicted.
Each of these governors have received high marks from a trio of renowned economists for their efforts to preserve, re-engage, or at least minimize the damage to their state’s economies. Joining this esteemed group is Colorado’s Gov. Jared Polis, the lone Democrat on the list, for his proposals to re-open the state ahead of much of the nation, and well before any governed by a fellow Democrat.
And yet, you would have to dig pretty hard in the copy of most national media to find a disparaging word against him to match the vituperation directed at his Republican colleagues pursuing similar routes.

Democratic leaders kill a rescue bill under pressure from the left
By The Editorial Board
Updated March 23, 2020 7:34 pm ETWhat a spectacle. Much of America is quarantined at home, the public is so panicked there’s a run on toilet paper, the country desperately wants reassurance, and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer decide to take a bipartisan rescue bill as a political hostage.
That’s the display of Democratic leadership in a crisis the nation received on Monday as Senate Democrats blocked a $1.8 trillion bill that has urgent money for workers, hospitals, small business and, yes, even larger companies threatened by the forcible shutdown of the U.S. economy. When America most needs bipartisan cooperation, Democrats add to the economic uncertainty by putting their partisan interests above the needs of the country.***Democrats are lucky the Federal Reserve chose Monday to deploy its biggest financial guns so far, or the markets might have taken an even bigger fall amid Washington’s dysfunction. Equities still fell by 3% or so, but investors took some comfort in the Fed’s offer to buy as many mortgage securities and Treasurys as needed to calm the panic. The mortgage-securities market has been strained as sellers who need cash struggle to find willing buyers. -

Increase taxes on rich, lower them for rest
By Alex Burness
The Denver PostColoradans may be voting this November on a proposal to raise billions of dollars annually by hiking taxes on the rich and using the money on schools and other, unspecified needs of a “growing population and changing economy.”
An issue committee that calls itself Fair Tax Colorado announced Thursday that it will begin collecting signatures to place its proposal, titled Initiative 271, on the 2020 ballot. They’ll need at least 124,632 of them to qualify for the ballot.
It would compensate for the loss in revenue from the tax cut by requiring everyone earning at least $250,000 to pay a 7% income tax rate on their federal taxable income after the first $250,000 and up to $500,000.
Anyone earning more than $500,000 would then pay a 7.75% rate on their income above and beyond the first $500,000, and up to $1 million. Finally, for anyone earning more than $1 million, the measure proposes to tax them $67,700 plus 8.9% of all federal taxable income above and beyond the first million
