Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapon Plant Disaster near Denver, Colorado. It produced plutonium triggers resulting in significant radioactive contamination.

The Rocky Flats Plant was a U.S. Department of Energy nuclear weapons facility located near Golden, Colorado, operated from 1951 to 1992. It produced plutonium triggers ("pits") for nuclear weapons, resulting in significant radioactive contamination, a 1989 federal raid, and subsequent closure. The site was largely cleaned up, designated a Superfund site, and is currently the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, though long-term health risks are still debated.

Plutonium pit production was halted in 1989 after EPA and FBI agents raided the facility[5] and the plant was formally shut down in 1992. Rockwell then accepted a plea agreement for criminal violations of environmental law.[6] At the time, the fine was one of the largest penalties ever in an environmental law case.[7]

Plutonium disaster at Rocky Flats Colorado

If you visit the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge northwest of Denver, you see different types of wildlife, miles of hiking and biking trails and acres of rolling prairie.

But you don’t see any trace of the astonishing history of what happened there during the Cold War: The Rocky Flats plant made plutonium triggers for nuclear weapons until it was shuttered in the early 1990s.

The buildings used in processing the plutonium were destroyed and the area was cleaned up under a Superfund site designation. And after a series of sometimes contentious public hearings, the wildlife refuge opened to the public in September 2018.

Filmmaker Jeff Gipe explores that history in a new documentary, Half-Life of Memory: America’s Forgotten Atomic Bomb Factory. Gipe grew up in nearby Arvada. His father worked at the plant in the 1980s.

Gipe says he made the film to remind people of the hazards buried beneath the wide-open spaces of the wildlife refuge, and to share the voices of workers whose lives were affected by the dangerous materials processed at Rocky Flats.

The 2024 election was stolen by Trump. Kamala really won

Secretary of Defense Pete H can't tell the difference between the movie Pulp Fiction and the Bible...

Pete Hegseth — Secretary of War Crimes, self-proclaimed Christian warrior, man who tattooed "Deus Vult" (God wills it, the battle cry of the Crusades) on his body — led a prayer service at the Pentagon and solemnly recited what he called "Ezekiel 25:17."

There's just one problem.

That's not a Bible verse. That's a Quentin Tarantino script.

The "prayer" Secretary of War Crimes Hegseth read is Samuel L. Jackson's famous monologue from Pulp Fiction — a speech the character Jules Winnfield delivers right before he executes someone. Jules himself admits in the film that he never actually looked it up. He recited it because, and I quote, "I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherf---er before you popped a cap in his ass."

Hegseth didn't know the difference.

The actual Ezekiel 25:17 is one sentence long. One sentence. The man could have opened any Bible — they're literally free — or Googled it in 4 seconds. But he didn't, because this was never about the Bible. It was never about faith. It was about performance. It was about vibes. It was about using the aesthetics of Christianity as a prop, the way his boss holds up a Bible he's never read for a photo-op outside a church he teargassed peaceful protesters to reach.

And this is the perfect metaphor for this entire administration.

They don't read. They don't study. They don't believe — not really. They just make things up that sound authoritative, recite them with confidence, and trust that their base won't check. Whether it's economic policy, immigration law, Constitutional precedent, or apparently Scripture — it's all vibes and fabrication all the way down.

Christianity — a faith centered on caring for the poor, welcoming the stranger, and loving your enemy — has been hijacked and weaponized into a shield for white nationalist imperialism. For mass deportations. For bombing campaigns blessed with fake Bible verses. For a "Religious Liberty Commission" that exists to give powerful people the right to discriminate, not to protect the vulnerable.

YES! SORRY, TRUMP! National Public Radio announces a massive influx of private donations after Trump slashed their funding — including the largest gift by a living donor in NPR's history.

$113 million just flowed into America's most crucial public broadcasting organization....

“I support NPR because an informed public is the bedrock of our society, and democracy requires strong, independent journalism,” said philanthropist Connie Ballmer, who donated over $80 million. “My hope is that this commitment provides the stability and the spark NPR needs to innovate boldly and strengthen its national network.”

The influx of cash also included $33 million from an anonymous donor. NPR intends to use the money to “help expand audience connection, accelerate digital transformation, and increase the sustainability of the national NPR Network.”

NPR’s President and CEO Katherine Maher said the donations are a “remarkable investment” that will keep the organization humming along for years.

These donations are a godsend after Trump pushed his MAGA-controlled Congress to gut over $1 billion in federal funds from NPR and PBS last summer. Both organizations have long been a target for a Republican Party that is fully aware that a well-informed public hurts their electoral chances.

Conservatives regularly accuse NPR of having a "liberal bias" but the truth is that reality has an anti-conservative bias. Simply reporting on the facts of the world is the surest way to dismantle the racist, paranoid, plutocratic assumptions that form the nucleus of the right-wing worldview. When you believe that climate change is a Chinese hoax and that Donald Trump is an upstanding Christian gentleman, neutral reporting starts to look left-wing.

Although these donations are incredibly welcome, we can't rely solely on private benefactors to keep NPR afloat. When Democrats retake power, we must pump funding back into NPR and PBS — not only restoring what they once received, but increasing it. Now, more than ever, this nation needs access to reliable information.

“While these investments are extraordinary, they do not replace federal funding,” Maher stated. “The permanent loss of more than $1 billion in federal funding has created significant financial pressure across all of public media. No single benefactor can or should carry this responsibility alone.”

Do you support NPR? Should we double their funding?

A real question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’

THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:
That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../trump-university.../502387002/)
That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay." (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hotel-paid-millions...)
That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem." (https://abcnews.go.com/.../list-trumps-accusers.../story...)
That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../donald-trumps.../)
That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you exclaimed, "He sure knows me." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../president-donald.../4073405002/)
That when you heard him relating a story of an elderly guest of his country club, an 80-year old man, who fell off a stage and hit his head, to Trump replied: “‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He was bleeding all over the place. And I felt terrible, because it was a beautiful white marble floor, and now it had changed color. Became very red.” You said, "That's cool!" (https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-howard-stern-story)
That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../donald-trump-criticized-after...)
That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../americas-first.../549794/)
That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../what-trump-has.../1501321001/)
That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!" (https://www.latimes.com/.../la-na-trump-campaign-protests...)
That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!" (https://www.independent.co.uk/.../donald-trump-orders...)
That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../why-cant-trump.../567320/)
That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be." (https://www.huffpost.com/.../trump-insult-foreign...)
That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!" (https://www.politico.com/.../138-trump-policy-changes...)
That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!" (https://www.usnews.com/.../how-is-donald-trump-profiting...)
That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was in the middle of water and you have said, "That makes sense." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../the-very-big-ocean.../)
That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, "falling in love" with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!" (https://www.cnn.com/.../donald-trump-dictators.../index.html)
That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.” (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../more-5-400-children-split...)
That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise. (https://www.americanprogress.org/.../confronting-cost.../)
What you don't get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also... hear me... charitable.
Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

A few days ago one of the smartest investors of all time, Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, characterized tariffs as "an act of war, to some degree," highlighting their potential to function as a tax on goods that could lead to increased prices for consumers. Buffett emphasized that the burden of these tariffs ultimately falls on consumers, humorously noting, "The Tooth Fairy doesn't pay 'em!"
So we now are actually in a tariff war with Canada etc retaliating. And the markets are not liking it, as you are seeing.
At the same time thousands are losing their jobs - certain services are being cut- and almost everything is going to cost more, especially food, gasoline, and cars.
This was all so unnecessary and really just plain stupid. So, it's up to all of us to be smart.
Conserve you money.
Continue to dollar cost average.
Make sure you love every investment you have.
Ten year treasuries will stabilize around 4%.
Bitcoin looks like it's heading toward its support level at $73,800 - time will tell.
Real estate prices will probably go down.
This is when a portfolio of dividends stocks calms the nerves.
That's why diversification is key.
Keep cool heads.
I will address it all on Sunday's podcast.

IF THEY CALL ME A DOMESTIC TERRORIST

by https://www.instagram.com/michaelfdubois/

If they gun me down in my own street someday may my crime be compassion.

May the record show from every angle that I was helping a woman up after they pushed her to the ground, that not even their weapons could stop me from extending my hand to those in need, that I was a walking example of the best my elders taught me that everyone is equal and worthy of defending.

If they tell the nation, from the highest podium, that I was a domestic terrorist, let it be known that my radical act was believing the best in people when they wanted nothing more than to divide us.

Instead of Wasting Money on ICE Agents, Why Not Do Something Useful? Immigrant Job Training. Medical Emergency Training. Basic Computer & Phone Operation. Read, Write & Speak English. Plumbing. Practical Math. Sex Education. ----> BETTER IDEA! JOB TRAINING FOR EVERYONE! <----

There's a lot of job openings for people to be caregivers at old folks homes... We could be spending our money on medical emergency training... The Heimlich maneuver... CPR: Cardio pulmonary resuscitation... These are important skills!

Teach people how to Cook... Plumbing... Practical Math... Reading... Writing...

Now that I think about it... We ought to offer training for free to everyone... Man I wish I knew how to do plumbing... My Plumbing has broken down my entire life and I'm a very poor plumber...

and then on Faceborg a friend said:
I really wish there were a way to stop the current social media trend of telling people to kill themselves simply because they have a difference of opinion. I see it every day: there will be a heated discussion, and someone posts a comment that disagrees with the majority...and even if they are extremely polite in their wording, someone always comes back with the words "kill yourself." I realize they're just words, and the person saying those words probably doesn't see it as any different than "fuck off" or something like that. But it isn't right to tell random strangers to kill themselves over a difference of opinion. I really wish Facebook and other social media sites would put that in their algorithms somehow, so that if anyone tells anyone else to kill themself, the person will immediately get a warning or a temporary ban or something. It is NOT okay to tell someone to kill themselves just because they have a different opinion. Tell them to fuck off if you must, or better yet, just block them. But DON'T tell another person to kill themselves, no matter who they are.

And I replied:
I know a guy that killed himself... He lived on my street and went to Los Gatos High School... And then one day he drove over to West Valley Junior College, put a hose in the tailpipe of his car turned on the engine and pumped the exhaust into the car... And I know another guy that failed to kill himself... He was in a car wreck with his father's car and dreading the fact that he was going to have to tell his father that he wrecked the car... He ate all the pills in the Medicine Chest in the bathroom... And then he threw up... He called me on the phone while he was doing this and I didn't notice anything different about the conversation and how you sounded... And then later his dad was upset with me because I didn't notice that his son was dying... And ideally I would have called 911... But I didn't... And the son survived!

Republicans Are Dying Faster Than Democrats. WHY? Old Age, Bad Choices, Poverty and Guns. Here's a Simple Solution! Become a Democrat, Green, Libertarian or an Independent! #DumpTrump #Runaway

One Realistic Solution To Dying Young is to STOP Making Bad Choices...

Ever Notice RUDE JULIE ANNA? He's a Classic Example of "WET BRAIN" a Lifetime of Drinking Alcohol has Left Him Unable to Think Clearly!

Republicans LOVE GUNS! Another Bad Choice! Did You Know that The Number One Cause of Death by Gunshot is SUICIDE? and the Number One Cause of Death for Children is GUNS... and Most Children that Die of Gunshots DIE AT HOME... The Republican Love of Guns is Killing Off Their Children!

and now for something Completely Different...

Calvin and Hobbes:

"Calvin? Calvin, sweetheart?"

In the darkness Calvin heard the sound of Susie, his wife of fifty-three years. Calvin struggled to open his eyes. God, he was so tired and it took so much strength. Slowly, light replaced the darkness, and soon vision followed. At the foot of his bed stood his wife. Calvin wet his dry lips and spoke hoarsely, "Did... did you.... find him?"

"Yes dear," Susie said smiling sadly, "He was in the attic."

Susie reached into her big purse and brought out a soft, old, orange tiger doll. Calvin could not help but laugh. It had been so long. Too long.

"I washed him for you," Susie said, her voice cracking a little as she laid the stuffed tiger next to her husband.

"Thank you, Susie." Calvin said.

A few moments passed as Calvin just laid on his hospital bed, his head turned to the side, staring at the old toy with nostalgia.

"Dear," Calvin said finally. "Would you mind leaving me alone with Hobbes for a while? I would like to catch up with him."

"All right," Susie said. "I'll get something to eat in the cafeteria. I'll be back soon."

Susie kissed her huband on the forehead and turned to leave. With sudden but gentle strength Calvin stopped her. Lovingly he pulled his wife in and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. "I love you," he said.

"And I love you," said Susie.

Susie turned and left. Calvin saw tears streaming from her face as she went out the door.

Calvin then turned to face his oldest and dearest friend. "Hello Hobbes. It's been a long time hasn't it old pal?"

Hobbes was no longer a stuffed doll but the big furry old tiger Calvin had always remembered. "It sure has, Calvin." said Hobbes.

"You... haven't changed a bit." Calvin smiled.

"You've changed a lot." Hobbes said sadly.

Calvin laughed, "Really? I haven't noticed at all."

There was a long pause. The sound of a clock ticking away the seconds rang throughout the sterile hospital room.

"So... you married Susie Derkins." Hobbes said, finally smiling. "I knew you always like her."

"Shut up!" Calvin said, his smile bigger than ever.

"Tell me everything I missed. I'd love to hear what you've been up to!" Hobbes said, excited.

And so Calvin told him everything. He told him about how he and Susie fell in love in high school and had married after graduating from college, about his three kids and four grandkids, how he turned Spaceman Spiff into one of the most popular sci-fi novels of the decade, and so on. After he told Hobbes all this there was another pregnant pause.

"You know... I visited you in the attic a bunch of times." Calvin said.

"I know."

"But I couldn't see you. All I saw was a stuffed animal." Calvin voice was breaking and tears of regret started welling up in his eyes.

"You grew up old buddy." said Hobbes.

Calvin broke down and sobbed, hugging his best friend. "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry I broke my promise! I promised I wouldn't grow up and that we'd be together forever!!"

Hobbes stroke the Calvin's hair, or what little was left of it. "But you didn't."

"What do you mean?"

"We were always together... in our dreams."

"We were?"

"We were."

"Hobbes?"

"Yeah, old buddy?"

"I'm so glad I got to see you like this... one last time..."

"Me too, Calvin. Me too."

"Sweetheart?" Susie voice came from outside the door.

"Yes dear?" Calvin replied.

"Can I come in?" Susie asked.

"Just a minute."

Calvin turned to face Hobbes one last time. "Goodbye Hobbes. Thanks... for everything..."

"No, thank you Calvin." Hobbes said.

Calvin turned back to the door and said, "You can come in now."

Susie came in and said, "Look who's come to visit you."

Calvin's children and grandchildren followed Susie into Calvin's room. The youngest grandchild ran past the rest of them and hugged Calvin in a hard, excited hug. "Grandpa!!" screamed the child in delight.

"Francis!" cried Calvin's daughter, "Be gentle with your grandfather."

Calvin's daughter turned to her dad. "I'm sorry, Daddy. Francis never seems to behave these days. He just runs around making a mess and coming up with strange stories."

Calvin laughed and said, "Well now! That sound just like me when I was his age."

Calvin and his family chatted some more until a nurse said, "Sorry, but visiting hours are almost up."

Calvin's beloved family said good bye and promised to visit tommorrow. As they turned to leave Calvin said, "Francis. Come here for a second."

Francis came over to his grandfather's side, "What is it Gramps?"

Calvin reached over to the stuffed tiger on his bedside and and held him out shakily to his grandson, who looked exactly as he did so many years ago. "This is Hobbes. He was my best friend when I was your age. I want you to have him."

"He's just a stuffed tiger." Francis said, eyebrows raised.

Calvin laughed, "Well, let me tell you a secret."

Francis leaned closer to Clavin. Calvin whispered, "If you catch him in a tiger trap using a tuna sandwich as bait he will turn into a real tiger."

Francis gasped in delighted awe. Calvin continued, "Not only that he will be your best friend forever."

"Wow! Thanks grandpa!" Francis said, hugging his grandpa tightly again.

"Francis! We need to go now!" Calvin's daughter called.

"Okay!" Francis shouted back.

"Take good care of him." Calvin said.

"I will." Francis said before running off after the rest of the family.

Calvin laid on his back and stared at the ceiling. The time to go was close. He could feel it in his soul. Calvin tried to remember a quote he read in a book once. It said something about death being the next great adventure or something like that. He eyelids grew heavy and his breathing slowed. As he went deeper into his final sleep he heard Hobbes, as if he was right next to him at his bedside. "I'll take care of him, Calvin..."

Calvin took his first step toward one more adventure and breathed his last with a grin on his face.
