Join us for a lively discussion about today’s local political news at the next NSRF monthly meeting on Saturday, July 11.
We’ll discuss what’s going on with the Covid-19 lockdown orders, which candidates won the primary election, what rulings did the Colorado Supreme Court make, how do those rulings affect you, what’s happening with the Colorado GOP, what ballot initiatives will be on the November ballot, which ones are good or bad for Colorado, and where can I sign, or help get signatures, to get them on the ballot, and lots more topics.
We meet at the Amazing Grace Community Church, 541 E 99th Place in Thornton from 9:00 am – 11:00 am. The meeting will be outside using chairs and their picnic tables so you can social distance. Wear a mask if you want.

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

For wind turbines? Democrats are holding up a rescue mission for the American people over airline emissions?! These are worthy topics for discussion, but NOT ON THIS BILL. The American public needs IMMEDIATE relief! -

Democratic leaders kill a rescue bill under pressure from the left
By The Editorial Board
Updated March 23, 2020 7:34 pm ET
What 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. -

Normally when I publish content online, I focus on the world of work. I hope you’ll forgive this brief departure, but I think that those of us on the left need to take a long look in the mirror and have an honest conversation about what’s going on.
If you had told me 3 years ago that I would ever attend a Donald Trump rally, I would have laughed while assuring you that was never going to happen. Heck, if you had told me I would do it 3 months ago, I probably would have done the same thing. So, how did I find myself among 11,000+ Trump supporters in Manchester NH? Believe it or not, it all started with knitting.
You might not think of the knitting world as a particularly political community, but you’d be wrong. Many knitters are particularly active in social justice communities and love to discuss the revolutionary role that knitters have played in our culture.
As a casual knitter, I never really paid attention to this. I knit as a way to relax and escape the drama of real life, not to further engage with it, but for anyone who is active in the knitting world on Instagram, it became almost impossible to avoid it. It started about a year ago when roving gangs of online social justice warriors started going after anyone who was not lockstep in their ideology. People were bullied and mobbed by hundreds of people for such offenses as publishing an article expressing excitement about going on a trip to India, posting a video saying they were leaving IG because they were uncomfortable, and posting a poem asking for kindness. Katherine Jepsen Moore has documented the full stories extensively and the BBC recently covered it as well.
I started paying attention after one man who was attacked got mobbed so badly that he had a nervous breakdown and was admitted to the hospital on suicide watch. There was something that was not right (well, so many things really) and it witnessing the vitriol coming from those who I had aligned myself with politically was a massive wake up call.
You see, I was one of those Democrats who considered anyone who voted for Trump a racist. I thought they were horrible (yes, even deplorable) and had worked very hard to eliminate their voices from my spaces by unfriending or blocking people who spoke about their support of him, however minor their comments. I watched a lot of MSNBC, was convinced that everything he had done was horrible, that he hated anyone that wasn’t a straight, white man, and that he had no redeeming qualities.
But when I witnessed the amount of hate coming from the left in this small, niche knitting community, I started to question everything. I started making a proactive effort to break my echo chamber by listening to voices I thought I would disagree with. I wanted to understand their perspective, believing it would confirm that they were filled with hate for anyone that wasn’t like them.
