Walcher: Want to fix Congress? Break the budget process first

A popular blogger called Taylor Cone gave some great advice for budding inventors, discussing the process of prototyping: build it, then break it, then fix it. Thatโ€™s a strategy Congress ought to try.

The House Appropriations Committee, Congressโ€™s most powerful panel, has 63 members, only 8 of whom have ever voted to do what the law requires of them, namely, to pass 12 appropriation bills to fund government agencies and programs. In fact, Congress has passed the required bills on time only 4 times in the last 40 years, the last time 26 years ago. Only 25 of the 435 House members and 8 of the 100 Senators were even in Congress then, all of them now in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. They may not even remember how it was supposed to work.

Enos: Coloradoโ€™s 2025 session pushed the most woke agenda weโ€™ve ever seen

โ€œWokeโ€ does not begin to describe the ideological beliefs of the majority in the Colorado legislature. They have become bold in their desire to reorder our lives in accordance with two basic ideological beliefs.ย First, there is no intrinsic value to human life. It is a commodity to be disposed of at will, and the destruction of pre-born life is a required service in every emergency room. Second, there is no such thing as a personโ€™s sex; it is merely a โ€œgender identityโ€ seen through โ€œgender expression.โ€

Ryan Andersonย explainsย that the origins of โ€œtransโ€ thinking come from cultural breakdown and fear, among other things. โ€œToo many people were afraid to say that the emperor has no clothes,โ€ he reasons. The transgender religion has taken Colorado by storm. These beliefs were the basis of the last two weeks and final days of the 2025 Colorado Legislative Session.

Polis open to signing bill restricting local ICE cooperation as Colorado sanctuary debate heats up

Gov. Jared Polis said that while he had “major problems” with an earlier proposal that sought to inoculate immigrants from federal policies, the bill now includes “workable language,” thereby signaling his intent to sign it.

The governor reiterated he is still reviewing the proposal, which underwent several changes before its final passage during the 2025 legislative session.

At its core, Senate Bill 276 reemphasized existing state law that precludes local law enforcers from detaining an individual based on an “immigration detainer.” An immigration “detainer” is a notice issued to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies informing the latter that agents intend to assume custody of an individual no longer subject to the former’s detention.
