Joondeph: This is no time for MAGA to go wobbly

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once reprimanded President George H.W. Bush with: “This is no time to go wobbly.”

A variation of those words, for MAGA now, seem appropriate.

Thatcher’s words occurred in 1990 when Bush considered how to respond to Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait – whether to adopt a military response or not.

Today, there is an invasion of another sort, President Donald Trump, DOGE, and the MAGA coalition mounting a full-on attack on the international deep state, globalists, and New World Order, the latter promoted by that same President Bush.

Trump’s assault spans multiple fronts, both foreign and domestic, as well as economic and social issues.

Devotional: Perseverance – Keep Climbing! It’s Worth It!

Ever found yourself halfway up a mountain thinking, Why did I do this? Your legs burn, your lungs gasp, and your motivation runs dry. The summit seems distant, and the parking lot below is tempting. This is perseverance—when quitting looks easy, the reward for pressing on is greater. “But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” – Matthew 24:13 (ESV)

NFIB Colorado urges lawmakers to tackle health insurance costs

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), Colorado’s leading small business advocacy organization, released a new health care policy paper entitled, “Addressing the Health Insurance Affordability Crisis for Small Businesses.” The findings reveal a dire prognosis for the small-group insurance market as employer-provided health coverage is becoming unsustainable for millions of small businesses and their employees.

‘I can’t do business in Denver now’: Developers flee as climate mandates bite

While Colorado is earning praise from climate advocates for its new mandates to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, developers and their economists are giving D and F grades to the state and its capital city, blaming the regulations for a noticeable decline in some projects.

Representatives for developers and property owners are flagging new data showing a marked drop-off in investments and revenues from commercial projects in Colorado. That decline, they said, follows directly on the heels of Colorado’s adoption of some of the nation’s boldest carbon-reducing strategies.

Gazette editorial board: Palmer Lake recall effort shortsighted, could derail opportunity

The quaint Tri-Lakes town of Palmer Lake is a gem Coloradans cherish- its serene lake, charming shops, and tight-knit community make it a Front Range treasure. Sadly, a storm brews over a proposed Buc-ee’s travel center at 1-25 and County Line Road, sparking a recall effort against Trustees Shana Ball, Kevin Dreher, and Dennis Stern.

This push, fueled by an outside activist club – the leader of which compared trustees to the “Taliban” – risks needlessly fracturing an otherwise peaceful village. 

Palmer Lake’s leaders deserve a chance to navigate this opportunity, not a divisive ouster.

[UPDATED] Ganahl: Colorado GOP’s New Leadership Faces Rogue Holdouts as Williams’ Allies Cling to Power

The Colorado Republican Party’s newly elected leadership, led by Chair Brita Horn, is battling a desperate power grab by ex-Chairman David Williams and his allies. They refuse to let go despite the Colorado Republican State Central Committee’s (SCC) move to dismiss a contentious lawsuit. 

Horn, alongside allies Nancy Pallozzi and Todd Watkins, champions a fresh start, but Williams’ appointees—particularly the shadowy Colorado Republican State Party Controversy Investigative Committee (CRSPCIC) led by Matt Arnold—are digging in, in a legal standoff that seems more about ego than justice.
