Hanks Open letter to Biden on 9/11

 

Dear Joseph Robinette Biden,

As we reflect on this somber 20th anniversary since the attacks on America, I hope this letter finds you well.  White House staff advised you had no public events today.  I believe that is fitting.

Americans are realizing the severity of the crises we are in.  Many have concluded you are unfit for the office.  Many believe you were fraudulently elected.  I will go further, and declare my belief you are a fraudulently installed agent under the influence of a foreign power.

Whether or not you fully comprehend your situation, Americans clearly recognize those pulling your strings oppose American greatness, leadership, and sovereignty.  We know you aren’t in charge – you’ve repeatedly told us so.  Handlers tell you whom to recognize at press conferences.  They tell you when to take no questions and walk away – no matter the size of the disaster you’ve just caused.

As Americans come to realize your incompetence, a growing majority also recognizes you were not fairly elected.  Evidence of fraud in multiple states supports their conclusions, and more evidence is revealed every day.  Facts are overwhelming the lies.  You once stated your team had developed the most extensive voter fraud network in history.  We believe you, and we clearly observed you needed every bit of it on November 3rd, 2020.  As you may recall, it required five states to stop counting votes in the middle of the night and alter the tallies so you could claim “victory”.  Seven months into this decrepit regime, and that is the only “victory” you can claim.

Your incompetence in Afghanistan is more than enough to warrant your impeachment and removal by the 25th Amendment.  Americans have long known of your amateurish and corrupt foreign policy –

A Tribute to Myron Mullett

A Tribute to Myron Mullett

Myron Mullett was a unique individual. He was the kindest, gentlest, most generous and compassionate man I ever knew. There are a thousand stories about Myron and they all have a similar tone. I’d like to tell my quick story so that those who weren’t fortunate enough to know him personally can understand why there is such an outpouring of love and such sorrow at his premature passing.
I moved to Custer County in 1995, and had a house built in the Rosita area. Myron installed the septic system and some of the foundation work. I had made a strong point about not wanting ANY trees removed or destroyed during the construction. One night I received this phone call. “Mr. Hess, my name is Myron Mullett. I’m sorry to inform you that while installing your leach field I had to knock two of your trees down. I know you didn’t want that to happen and I’m very sorry but there wasn’t any other way. But I wanted to tell you how bad I feel about it and apologize.” Well, I was stunned. Not about the trees but about the kind of man who would make such a call. Not many would have done that. I knew immediately I wanted to meet him. We quickly became friends, then golf partners and eventually business partners. I believe I was Myron’s best friend. Just like hundreds of other guys believe that too because that’s how Myron made you feel. He made you feel special. He made everyone feel special.
It’s hard to understand why the Good Lord sometimes takes such good people like Myron so early. But some of us know that God has a plan, and that we don’t always understand that plan and that we just need to trust that plan. I am comforted only in knowing that Myron is now in the protective care of Jesus. And that lets me accept this untimely loss that I feel.
Myron had a wonderful way of inspiring all who he came in contact with. He was a man of actions, not words. He was humble, forgiving and polite to everyone. I could never begin to measure up to his standards, but I know just being around him made me a better person. He made all of us better by just being around him. He was such a good role model. He was a great Christian, son, husband, father, patriot, mentor and friend, devoted to and so proud of his wonderful family. He deserved every word that we heard at his eulogy last Monday.
I look forward to renewing my “friendship” one day with men like Chet and Forrest Gompf and Myron in a much better place than this fallen world. That promise is what makes the loss of a loving man like Myron Mullett bearable. Rest in Peace my good friend. I love you.
— Mike Hess

Services for Nancy Kreuz of Wetmore on Friday

Obituary

Nancy Kreuz

Service Friday, September 10, 2021 11 a.m.

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and dear friend, Nancy Kreuz of Wetmore, Colorado. She passed at the age of 85, on September 5, 2021.
Nancy was born in Manhattan, New York, and though she was well traveled, she never lost that “New York attitude”. She was a very hard worker including her careers as a phys. ed teacher and a security guard.
She loved animals and had regular conversations with a friend’s pit bull “Casper”. Nancy was a gregarious person and had friends in many states with whom she spoke with regularly including her neighbors, her friends at the Elks club in Florence and the Senior Center in Penrose. She continued to run errands and visit in Westcliffe over the years. She was preceded in death by her husband Ed. She is survived by her daughter, son and many grandchildren.
We all will miss her terribly but keep in mind— What the caterpillar thinks is the end of life, the butterfly knows is the beginning.
A service will be held on Friday, September 10th at 11 a.m. at the Wetmore Community Church, 699 CR 395, Wetmore, Colorado 81253. A celebration of life will follow at the Wetmore Community Center located at 95 County Road 393, Wetmore, Colorado.

Election Fraud Reaps Tragedy, Chaos, Destruction

Election Fraud reaps Tragedy, Chaos, Destruction
by Ron Hanks, HD 60

We are the beacon of hope for many nations. Just listen to the pleas of the victims and those trying to escape oppressive Marxist socialism around the world – the same form of government and world order the leftists in this country would have us join. Those fleeing tyranny implore us to remain free and resolute. Continue reading Election Fraud Reaps Tragedy, Chaos, Destruction →

The Editorial Style News

August 7, 2021
To George Gramlich, editor,
Sangre de Cristo Sentinel:
Dear Sir:
Congratulations on your fine paper. My family and friends and I read every word and every ad each week, and I think this publication has gotten a lot better over the years.
I hear complaints about your editorial style a lot. The truth is, your style of stating your opinion using humor and caricature has a long pedigree in journalism.
I keep having to defend the Sentinel for having such an obvious conservative slant, but that puts you in good company with Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine, and those other revolutionary guys who got this nation going in the first place.
Then there is Mark Twain. If I were you, George, I would aspire to this man’s literary genius and ornery journalism.
No one was safe from character roasting from your nineteenth century brother in trade. From reading some of his novels, you get this idea that Twain was a pretty well-educated writer, and if you do not already have them stuck up on the wall of your office, you should get a copy of his rules for writing and stick them up there in the newsroom for everyone to learn and inwardly digest. But all that erudition did not keep him from getting down in the mud to take the powerful down a peg, and to expose the eccentricities of the self-righteous in the Golden Age.
The idea of a neutral-just-the-facts- publication is fairly recent. I went to journalism school in the 1970s, and they taught us in four years of two semesters each of newswriting, to just give the facts, and leave opinion to the, uh, opinion page.
The problem with that is that no observer of anything is really disinterested. When you see an obvious criminal being arrested, your story in the paper will sound a little like this was justice done.
We need to get over the neutral writing paradigm because it is pulling the wool over the eyes of most Americans who believe that any news show they see on television, or any article they read in any publication is neutral!
I just had to cancel my subscription to Southern Living of all things because I can no longer stomach the attitude of the editors there. How subtle can politics be?
Everyone has a point of view, and it is in the best interests of a well-informed public if readers understand the point of view of writers. When I read an article in a scholarly journal, I look the author up on the WEB to see where his values were formed, and what else he or she has written.
Since not all publications are as honest as this one, I hope all the readers of the Sentinel get real savvy about getting to the source of where what they are reading originates.
Keep up the good work, George, and if you need to come up with some other cute descriptions of the county commissioners, I can help you with that, but I warn you, I have a big, bad crush on the Chairman and I do not care who knows that!
Wishing all of you the best,

Joanne L. Canda

How to prep on a budget

by Mark Bunch/President Royal Gorge Gun Club/Chairman Fremont County NRA

Why you should prep
The world we live in is a very dangerous and unforgiving place. Unless you are lucky enough to own a farm where you can grow all your own food, you are dependent on shopping at a store for all your necessary items. Those stores that you shop at are all dependent on just-in-time resupply since on hand inventory is purposely kept as small as possible. That sounds great and saves a ton of money on inventory storage costs. God forbid anything happens to our transportation system. Store shelves will be empty in short order and as anyone can tell you that ever lived through an earthquake, flood, hurricane or tornado, it is very eerie seeing all the shelves in the grocery store bare.

TWAW Misfires and Misfeeds

TWAW Misfires and Misfeeds

By Andrea Stump

TWAW Chapter Leader
Sterling, Colorado

You’re having a great time on the range, feeling confident in your technique and hitting targets like Annie Oakley. All of a sudden you pull the trigger, hear a click, but have no bang. What do you do?

Dealing with misfires and misfeeds is a common part of shooting and something all shooters need to be proficient in. In the above situation, you’ve just experienced a hang fire, meaning the round did not fire when the hammer of the gun hit the primer of the round. These are often blamed on sloppy reloading habits but can also occur with factory ammunition. On the range, the recommended method for dealing with a hang fire is to keep the gun pointed down range for 30 seconds as the round theoretically could still go off. If nothing happens in 30 seconds, rack the slide and eject the round. In a tactical situation it is impossible to wait for 30 seconds. Therefore, in a more realistic scenario you would follow the tap-roll-rack method. Continue reading TWAW Misfires and Misfeeds →
