Brown: Why the Left Fears Women Who Choose Family

By Isabel Brown | Commentary, The Daily Signal If there’s one thing the corporate media hates more than tradition, it’s motherhood. We’ve seen it time and again, from the glossy magazine covers glorifying “child-free” living to the snide late-night jokes about “breeders” and “stay-at-home moms.” It’s no longer subtle. The war on motherhood is loud, proud, and broadcast 24/7 across every major platform. And make no mistake—this isn’t just about personal choice. It’s a coordinated cultural campaign to devalue perhaps women’s most essential role: being a mother. While I’ve always been aware of this assault on motherhood, it became increasingly clear to me after I found out I was pregnant last fall. Suddenly, this wasn’t an abstract concept, but very real propaganda attempting to conv...

Democrat Lawmakers Warn: Our Own Base Is Demanding Violence

By Byron York | The Washington Examiner DISTURBING GLIMPSES OF DEMOCRATIC ANGER. We know many Democrats were stunned when Donald Trump won a second term as president. We know many are still angry about it. But we’re just now learning how angry some of them are. It’s not just grandstanding Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). Axios reports that “at town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists,” Crockett’s more centrist Democratic House colleagues are “facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.” “Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough,” said one Democratic lawmaker (out of nine) quoted in the Axios article. “Some of them have suggested …...

DiGirolamo: The new Terminator is disguised as your teen’s ‘AI boyfriend’

By John DiGirolamo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Make The Terminator fiction again. Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that the movie was released in 1984. The Hollywood hit focused on the sinister power of artificial intelligence in the form of a killer cyborg robot who looked human.  With billions of online images, AI can use that data to easily generate realistic-looking people. It’s difficult to tell the difference between an AI created image vs. a real person. Unfortunately, people are using this powerful technology to exploit children, all while sitting in the comfort of their own chair.  Artificial intelligence has already wreaked havoc on today’s children. Digitally generated or altered images are commonly known as “deepfakes.” Here’s some examples of how ...

Trump Delivers: Over 2 Million Jobs Gained by U.S.-Born Workers in 2025

By Noah Stanton | I Stand for Freedom Remember how the experts predicted doom and gloom for America’s economy? Those predictions have aged about as well as milk left on the kitchen counter in July. Instead, Americans are seeing something remarkable happening in job numbers across the country. Paychecks are growing and help wanted signs are popping up everywhere you look. What’s behind this amazing turnaround? While the usual talking heads on TV scratch their heads, everyday Americans are noticing a big shift in who’s getting hired these days. The economy isn’t just growing – it’s growing differently than before, and many families are feeling the positive effects firsthand. The secret to this economic transformation? President Trump’s tough border policies are working exactly as pr...

ROLLINS: Chinese Stake in U.S. Farmland Sparks Federal Crackdown

By Brook Rollins | Commentary - Fox News In June, the fragility of our food supply was exposed when foreign nationals, including a member of the Chinese Communist Party, were charged with smuggling a noxious fungus into the United States. Experts describe it as a potential agroterrorism weapon and responsible for billions in annual losses around the world. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the two foreign nationals planned on using a University of Michigan laboratory to further their scheme involving the biological pathogen that causes crop disease and is harmful to human health. This is just one example of how our global competitors have been playing the long game – infiltrating American research institutions, taking control over American farmland, launching cyberattacks ...

Girdusky: Want real change, Elon? This strategy would do more than the America Party ever could

By Ryan James Girdusky | Commentary, National Populist Newsletter Why the America Party is Not Going to Work Elon Musk believes he is on a rendezvous with destiny, that he and he alone is wealthy and independent enough to lead America into a future free from the overwhelming debt facing the country’s future. So, he’s starting this America Party, hoping to flip enough seats in the House and Senate to mandate Congress get serious about spending. That’s a bit of a fool’s errand. First, there comes a question of ballot access. Can candidates even make it on the ballot in November? Getting on the ballot in many parts of the country is extremely difficult, despite being in existence for decades; neither the Green nor the Libertarian Party had ballot access in all 50 states last N...

York: Medicaid, The Big Beautiful Bill—and Obama’s revenge

By Byron York | Commentary, Washington Examiner MEDICAID, THE BBB, AND OBAMA’S REVENGE. It’s reasonable to view the angry debate over the Medicaid provisions of the recently signed-into-law One Big Beautiful Bill Act, with Democrats accusing President Donald Trump and Republicans of taking away healthcare from millions of people, as the inevitable result of the scheme that then-President Barack Obama and Democrats set in motion in 2010. Back then, many in the party wanted to create a single-payer national healthcare system but did not have the political support to do so. So Democratic leaders debated among themselves about how to get as far as they could with their existing (big) majorities in the House and Senate. After much effort, they came up with the Affordable Care Act, better...

Gilmartin: Attacks on John Adams Academy show what happens when excellence disrupts control

By Kim Gilmartin | Commentary, Colorado Politics In response to a recent CoPo column about John Adams Academy Douglas County (JAADC), columnist Paula Noonan’s opinion piece is heavy on rhetoric and light on facts. As a co-founder of JAADC, I am compelled to correct the misinformation and misleading claims for the sake of the public, not the punditry. First, one of the core accusations, that JAADC’s curriculum is outdated, narrowly ideological and dismissive of modern disciplines like science and technology, could not be further from the truth. JAADC’s curriculum includes a full complement of science and math courses grounded in logic, inquiry and observation, which are foundational elements of the scientific method. Classical schools nationwide are not only producing though...

El Paso County sheriff transfers 19 illegal immigrant offenders to ICE

By Aidan Hulting | Denver Gazette Nineteen people who the El Paso County Sheriff's Office says were in the country illegally, and have allegedly committed crimes in El Paso County, are now in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. This marks the second list the El Paso County Sheriff's Office has released this summer detailing its ongoing cooperation with ICE. “As part of our continued commitment to transparency, I am once again releasing a list of individuals and their associated criminal charges related to the safe and secure transfer of custody to our federal partners at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” said El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal. “We will continue to provide this information in a timely manner to demonstrate compliance with Colorad...

Boll: A day camp in Paonia shows how far the agenda to sexualize kids has gone

By Laureen Boll | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In the small, conservative town of Paonia, Colorado, with a population of just 1,500, a local organization is stirring debate with a new initiative aimed at children. The Learning Council, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in downtown Paonia, is hosting a "Sex Health Education Day Camp" for 10- to 13-year-olds on July 14–16.  Led by Alicia Michelsen, the organization’s executive director, the camp has raised eyebrows among some residents who question its motives and appropriateness, particularly given Michelsen’s history of pushing for controversial changes to local school curricula and a broader societal trend where adults seem increasingly focused on the sexuality of other people’s children. A Rejected Vision Fuels a New I...
