David Mueller: I Did So Pay Taylor Swift $1 Judgment — With Sacagawea Coin

By Michael RobertsDecember 7, 2017

The ugliness that marked the dueling lawsuits between Denver DJ David Mueller and pop star Taylor Swift over an alleged butt-grabbing incident at a 2013 Pepsi Center concert has provided a predictably nasty coda. As we’ve reported, Swift told Time magazine that Mueller had never paid her the $1 judgement she won during an August trial, adding that she considered his failure to do so “an act of defiance” that was “symbolic in itself.” But Mueller quickly fired back, insisting that he had sent her the $1 in the form of a Sacagawea coin that served as a symbol for him.

Taylor Swift: Denver DJ Hasn’t Paid $1 Judgment for Grabbing My Ass

By Michael RobertsDecember 6, 2017

In an interview for Time magazine’s Person of the Year issue, which pays tribute to women, dubbed “silence breakers,” who spoke out about sexual harassment and assault in 2017, pop star Taylor Swift says Denver DJ David Mueller, who sued her in June 2015 for getting him fired from his job at KYGO after claiming (falsely, he insisted) that he’d grabbed her ass during a 2013 show at the Pepsi Center, still hasn’t paid her the $1 she won from him at a high-profile trial earlier this year.

Thanks, Donald Trump: Anti-Semitic Incidents in Colorado Double

By Michael RobertsDecember 6, 2017

According to an analysis by the Anti-Defamation League, the number of anti-Semitic incidents in Colorado doubled during the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the same period last year. And while an ADL representative doesn’t directly blame President Donald Trump for mainstreaming such behavior, he makes it clear the Commander in Chief isn’t helping the situation.

By Michael RobertsDecember 6, 2017

How to Convince U.S. Supreme Court to Rule Against Masterpiece Cakeshop

By Michael RobertsDecember 5, 2017

This morning, Monday, December 5, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, with the nine jurists charged with considering whether Denver-based Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips discriminated against a gay couple, Charlie Craig and David Mullins, by refusing to make them a wedding cake because their union contradicts his fundamentalist Christian views. Given the current ideological makeup of the court and the ultra-conservative proclivities of the newest justice, Colorado native Neil Gorsuch, many observers expect the court to side with Phillips in a ruling that critics say would preference one group of Christians over all others. But an expert thinks there’s still a chance the Supremes will reject the Masterpiece claim and suggests arguments that may sway the court’s potential swing justices.

By Michael RobertsDecember 5, 2017

Once upon a time, the average person thought of $1 million as an enormous sum on which members of a family could live in luxury for the rest of their lives if only such an amount was within their reach, which it wasn’t. But times have changed. A new study suggests that $1 million is now a reasonable total to set aside for retirement, and even those who manage to do so may eventually run out of cash. That includes people who settle in Denver, which is ranked in the lower half of major cities when it comes to stretching these seven figures.

By Michael RobertsDecember 4, 2017

Barely two weeks after Pueblo’s Donthe Lucas was arrested on robbery charges, the former Northeastern Junior College basketball star was served with an arrest warrant in the February 2013 disappearance of Kelsie Schelling, a Denver resident who vanished after heading south to tell her boyfriend, Lucas, that she was pregnant.

“John Elway F*ck You:” Twitter Puts QB Legend on Blast After Broncos’ Loss

By Michael RobertsDecember 4, 2017

Denver Broncos quarterback legend turned team executive John Elway received a plus-size amount of credit for the squad’s success during the Peyton Manning era, including two Super Bowl appearances and one victory.
