Frontier Airlines announced it will expand service to include eight new destinations in the region, including flights to North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana…. Officials say the airline will serve Colorado Springs, Aspen, Durango and Grand Junction in Colorado, along with Fargo, North Dakota; Jackson, Wyoming; and Missoula and Bozeman. Frontier starts the flights in April and May using turboprop aircraft from its Lynx Aviation subsidiary, and regional jets operated by Republic Air -- both of which can be more efficient and economical on shorter trips."
With three million people added to the USA every year, Post blogger Frosty Woolridge wants Presidential candidates to wake up and smell what's at stake.
Post blogger Mike McGarry, co-founder of the Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform, is keeing a watchful eye on legislation in New York state that would allow illegals state identification. "Let me start out by thanking New York State Assemblymen Jim Tedisco and Greg Ball for their leadership in convening this hearing," he blogs, "to hopefully avert the implementation of policy that would represent a serious threat to national security and an egregious violation of law. I have been working closely with Assemblyman Ball over the last year or so, to help him to combat the immigration crisis on a local level, within the communities he represents."

I was sniffing around the internet for local news when I came upon this story about a new contraption that’s supposed to keep you safe in the event you find yourself being overtaken by an avalanche. In a week that has brought us two fatalities on separate occasions in the East Vail chutes, and a GSPI feature about some hair-raising backcountry travel by one group of intrepid locals, I learn of a device that takes charge of an avalanche critical moments before a beacon has a chance to be useful: the Avalance Airbag System.

To support each American citizen, 12 acres of land must be developed, i.e., taken out of its natural setting. It must be paved over, planted in crops, built into suburbs, schools, colleges, fire houses, malls, roads and everything that sustains our society. That means the next added 100 million Americans wreak havoc on the natural world in an ever more deadly population dance.
If I could lead several hundred million average Americans to China at 1.3 billion, India at 1.1 billion or Bangladesh with 144 million people in a landmass the size of Iowa--for a week tour of THEIR population nightmares, you’d see a massive throng of Americans demanding our borders be secured as well as a national population policy implemented.

Last Friday, Ann Curry, on NBC Nightly News, reported that drought-stricken Georgia's Lake Lanier, that provides water for five million people, will not last more than 79 more days at current water consumption. "What does Lake Lanier need?" she asked the reporter standing by the lake. "Lots of rain…about four months of rain," the reporter said.
If Georgia stands in the cross-hairs of a water crisis today at 9,363,000 people, what will be its fate be by 2050 – when its predicted population reaches 16,966,000 people?

With winter around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about getting your body ready for ski season.
I have taught ski conditioning on and off for the past five years and I am consistently hearing the same question from clients: “How do I get my body ready to take a ski conditioning class?”
Going from zero to 60 in 10 seconds is OK for a car, but our bodies need a little bit more of a warmup. Pulled hamstrings and twisted ankles are no way to start the ski season. Those who did not do much physical activity this summer except maybe a couple hikes may want to get their heart rates up before the first class.

In tomorrow's America of suffocating political correctness and clashing cultures, unrestricted immigration, both legal and illegal, proves a merciless weapon of war. George Bush promotes it, Condi Rice facilitates it and Dick Cheney shoves it down America’s throat. All maintain memberships in the Council on Foreign Relations—a One World Order organization dedicated to dissolving the borders and sovereignty of the United States of America.
If you look at the ‘elite class’ in America, none of them or their families dwell in the midst of that which they create for Middle America. We do!

During the final days of his presidency, Bill Clinton signed into law Executive Order 13166. Under that far-reaching order, any entity that receives federal funds, including state, county and local governments, must provide translations upon demand in any language a person wishes to conduct business, with the costs of translators and translations carried by the providers, private and public.

While the rest of the world celebrates the labor that sustains societies and demands reform on May 1st, International Worker’s Day, we stand alone this first Monday in September. Here’s why.
The roots of today’s holiday go back to May 1, 1884, when the Federation of Organized Labor passed a resolution declaring that eight hours would constitute a full and legal workday. Back then workers were routinely forced to toil far longer, slaving to barely feed and house themselves and their families. No surprise that the resolution gained widespread support with the working class.

According to Katie Couric, Brian Williams and Charles Gibson, the United States surpassed 300,000,000 people in October 2006. Their current demographic predictions, based on immigration-driven growth levels, show America adding 100 million people by 2040. (Source: Fogel/Martin March 2006 “US Population Projections for 2050)
For those asleep at the wheel—that’s 33 years from now—a blink in time.
To place this kind of horrific growth rate into perspective, it resembles a “Human Tsunami.”

Readers of this column chastise me for not addressing what’s really happening to Colorado and America. They accuse me of dancing around the elephant in the kitchen. They want me to spell it out, to expose it, to say it like it really is. Here is what is happening to our country.
If you read about what happened in Broomfield yesterday in a Spanish class where a student chanted, “White power, white power,” you’re seeing responses, not to legal immigrants, but to the massive and unending illegal alien migration into Colorado and the rest of our nation. Illegal aliens force their language onto Colorado. It's wrong! It's against the law! Of course, you're going to see various responses erupt! You’re also watching the incremental breakdown of our cohesiveness as a nation. The philosopher Kant said, “The two great dividers are religion and language.”

Shortly before 11:00 pm last Thursday night, Representative Michael R. McNulty (D-NY) gaveled the vote on H.R. 3161 closed. What appeared to be a final tally of 215-213 Nay, McNulty declared a 214-214 tie. This was followed by a chorus of "shame, shame, shame" and House Republicans walked out on the proceedings.
So what did the Democratic leadership do? While Representatives argued over the two different vote tallies, the Democrat leadership strong-armed Democrats who voted Nay. In a creative application of parliamentary procedure, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) then offered a “motion to reconsider,” which was seconded. This un-did McNulty's gavel and reopened the tally. In the time it took to “reconsider” the vote, the Democratic leadership managed to flip three votes. The final tally was recorded 216-212 Yea.
