Secretary Rubio: Alien Enemies Act exists to protect Americans, defend against Tren de Aragua and others

By Secretary of State Marco Rubio  | Fox News When the Founding Fathers drafted the Aliens Act of 1798, they intended it to act as an antibody against foreign armies, criminal networks, and individuals who sought to do America harm. They understood something we have forgotten. Every nation has not just a right to act in self-defense, but a duty to do so. When a nation neglects that duty, it risks becoming a haven for vile criminal elements from across the globe, and a battleground in other nation’s conflicts.  No nation is obligated to harbor foreign criminals from justice in their home nations, much less allow them to continue their crime spree right here in the United States. Until President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act, that was what the United States ...

Bowdey: June’s pride celebrations face a corporate retreat

By Suzanne Bowdey | Daily Signal , Commentary America is four weeks away from the LGBTQ movement’s biggest party, and companies are already RSVP’ing no. Thirty days out from Pride Month, the Left’s suffocating celebration of all things gay and trans, it’s obvious the cause’s long march through corporate America hasn’t just stalled, it’s in full-blown retreat. Just two years after Dylan Mulvaney’s catastrophic undoing of Bud Light, June’s over-the-top extremism—at least as a wholesale business concept—is dead. And taking plenty of influential mouthpieces with it. For most CEOs, it’s been a year of unprecedented realignment. Dozens of major brands are following up on their commitments to drop DEI and progressive political causes with news that they’ll no longer be spo...

The COvid Chronicles April 16–30: From tattletales to tyranny in just 14 days

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board This second installment of RMV’s COvid Chronicles runs longer than usual – for good reason. In just two weeks, civic trust collapsed, state control deepened and neighbors turned on each other. The details matter—because memory fades, because memory fades, but the impact endures. If the first two weeks of April 2020 made it clear to Coloradans their state was forever changed and would not be going back to the way it was any time soon, the later part of the month crystalized just how difficult earning back any God-given constitutional rights and freedoms would prove to be. Much of that had to do with the heavy-handedness of Gov. Jared Polis, elected officials and unelected bureaucrats who weren't keen on relinquishing their newfound regal powe...

The Gazette editorial board: Local sheriff skewers the left’s pro-crime mind virus

By The Gazette editorial board Sunday’s predawn raid of an illegal nightclub in Colorado Springs should have been a clarion call for law and order, yet multiple news accounts and advocacy groups have spun a narrative of victimhood that defies reason. More than 300 law enforcement officers, including local and federal agencies, stormed a venue teeming with drugs, guns, and human trafficking, detaining more than 100 individuals, many undocumented immigrants. El Paso County Sheriff Joe Roybal, in a forceful news release Tuesday, rejected claims painting these detainees as innocent, stating, “The operation… did not take place in a church, school, grocery store, library, or any other location where law-abiding citizens carry on with their lives.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE GAZETTE...

O’Donnell: It’s costly to live in Colorado—and now we top the charts in personal debt

By Mike O’Donnell | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Since 2021, inflation has been higher in Colorado than in any other state, mostly because of the cost of owning or renting a home. But this is also because the state legislature enjoys imposing new fees (you aren’t allowed to call them taxes) on seemingly anything they can think of. Colorado residents may not, however, realize that because it is now so expensive to live in the state, Coloradans owe more money in mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, student loans and other consumer obligations than residents of ANY other state. The latest data from the Consumer Credit Panel at the New York Federal Reserve indicates that during the fourth quarter of 2024, the 4,983,560 households in Colorado EACH owed an average of $90,540 i...

Cooper: The biggest identity theft in Colorado history? Victims may have no idea

By Bob Cooper | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Thousands of Coloradans may unknowingly appear in federal campaign finance records—raising major questions about identity theft and political money laundering. Up to 4,000 Coloradans may have had their identities stolen – and none of them know it. That’s because the theft may be part of a massive political money laundering scheme involving groups like ActBlue. ActBlue, a political fundraising platform that has facilitated $3.7 billion in contributions to Democrat campaigns, is under federal investigation. Multiple directors have resigned in recent months, according to reporting from the New York Times. Now, thanks to a searchable tool created by The America Project, it’s possible to investigate suspicious political contribu...

Natelson: Colorado’s Senate Bill 276 jampacked with constitutional absurdities

By Rob Natelson | Complete Colorado, Commentary You have to wonder about a large portion of the Colorado legislature. I’ve already written about their bills to squelch freedom of the press, freedom of speech, the right to keep and bear arms, and the constitutional right of parents to raise their own children. Not to mention the loony idea of wasting taxpayer money on a frivolous lawsuit to take away our Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights refunds. But now comes Senate Bill 276, or as I like to call it the “Venezuelan Gang Protection Act.” If you want gangs of illegal immigrants terrorizing your neighborhood, you’ll love SB 276.  You’ll also love it if you want less-violent illegals taking away American jobs or being subsidized at your expense. And if you are a legal&n...

Hanson: Trump’s counterrevolution is only beginning

By Victor David Hanson | The Free Press, Commentary No prior modern Republican president has sought to launch a counterrevolution aimed at reversing the economic, political, cultural, social, and military progressive trajectory of the modern era. Trump has done just that—and in his first 100 days—in a comprehensive fashion that perhaps surpasses the ambitious agendas of even the first three months of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal or Ronald Reagan’s efforts to unleash the American free market and win the Cold War.

Joondeph: Trump Could Put Hillary Clinton in Charge of Immigration

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Watching legacy media might give one the impression that President Donald Trump is cleaning house, deporting the tens of millions of illegal aliens allowed into America during the terms of all recent past presidents. And that border czar Tom Homan is leading a scorched earth effort to round up each and every illegal alien and send them packing. At least that’s the perception one might have by watching network or cable news. What is the reality? How are Trump’s “massive” and “unprecedented” deportations going?  Are illegal aliens being rapidly deported as Trump promised in his 2024 presidential campaign? Or is the media gaslighting Americans, pushing a fear porn narrative that is far from reality? How many dep...

Tristan: Trump’s first 100 days prove America’s home improvement is not about reality show illusions

By George Tristan | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice There are many home improvement reality shows on television today.
