Spring in the Rockies sounds divine but I won't be able to make it. I'm having cataract surgery! Will look forward to hearing all about it.

Awesome chance to offer your audience a few gems from your book! Or use some of your best articles (they're most certainly all good), like this one given the DEI craze:

“In the name of anti-racism, we’ve declared white people racist on the basis of their race.”

September 13, 2020; by Glenn Beacon

"Now it’s not only permissible but fashionable and even compulsory to judge people on the basis of their race. We’re told to stereotype black people as hapless victims, notwithstanding a twice-elected black president, wildly rich and idolized black entertainers and athletes, and prosperous black businessmen and women.

On the flip side, we’re told the white race is a racist race. White people who try not to be racist, and think they’ve succeeded, are the most racist of all for failing to recognize that they’ve failed.

White people are required to confess that they’re racist even as they try not to be, and further confess that they always will be no matter how hard they try. The intelligentsia now make a big show of such confessions because it makes them feel virtuous and, a bit weirdly, like victims themselves.

Their cheap talk goes something like, “I’m so sorry I’ve acted badly. It’s because my bad race has given me the racism disease. If only I hadn’t been born white.”

In short, in the name of anti-racism, we’ve legitimized racism by declaring that white people are racist because of their race. Black lives matter, but the racist lives of these racist white people don’t, and it’s racist to suggest that they do.

Maybe they should be enslaved. Until then, they should grovel.

Now that racism is no longer prohibited, it’s unsurprising that other societal prohibitions are getting lifted as well. Even some of the elite now suggest that murder is OK if the victim holds “wrong” political beliefs. And thievery is OK if the thieves are of the “right” race.

They call this new paradigm “social” justice. It’s applied not on the basis of your acts but on the basis of your skin color. Individuals deemed oppressed due to their race have license to oppress individuals deemed to be oppressors due to their race.

Now that two wrongs make a right, how long before three or four wrongs make something even righter? Anarchy, here we come.

We’re devolving back much further than the Reign of Terror and even further back than the Huns that sacked Rome. We’re heading back to the caves."

Here's one that should get their attention:

"To put this in context, law students are assigned upwards of 20 hours per week of reading, which amounts to roughly 2,000 hours over the course of the three years. But they are never asked or even invited to spend 20 minutes of that time to read the foundational document of American jurisprudence.

The Founders who risked their lives, fortunes and sacred honor in writing, debating and fighting for the sacred document that embodies those rights would be disappointed.

(Glenn Beaton was a successful law student who received a perfect score in Property Law. But to this day, he doesn’t know how to do a house closing.)

Congrats! Our state has been taken over by Communist rule since 2001 using the Dominion voting machines. We have all the proof yet supposed RINO REPUBLICANS have refused to look at the facts. Thus machine is not a tabulator but a computer with a modem that can be manipulated to flip votes using algorithms and has done just that. Put SoS has destroyed election results in all countries except the two that use has paper ballots and not these misprinted computer theft systems.

Won't be in the region at that time, but I would surely pay to hear you speak, Glenn. If you are up in the commie SanFran of the midwest - MN - let us know to show support.
