Walcher: Is the goal cleaner air, or something else?

Approved, Commentary, Greg Walcher / / ,

Governments are often behind the curve in recognizing the latest technology. Innovation invariably moves faster than the intentionally slow processes of government. We saw that with the Biden Administration’s methane regulations, and we are seeing it again with its recent move to halt upcoming liquefied natural gas (LNG) export permits. The LNG export moratorium has sparked intense debates around the country, on both sides of the aisle, and will have repercussions for years.

Lobue: Since Biden inherited the Trump boom, the whole economy’s gone bust

Approved, Commentary, The Federalist / / , ,

By JOSEPH LOBUE | The Federalist For years, President Joe Biden was flying west to east with the prevailing winds, economically speaking. During Covid, politicians (primarily Democrats) closed down large portions of the economy. When Covid ended, the economy “grew” because that’s what happens when you go from a partially closed economy to an entirely

Gaines: Getting back from the state what we’re owed under TABOR

Approved, Commentary, completecolorado.com / / ,

Pretend that your employer accidentally overpaid you, say $20 extra a month for a couple years.  Neither of you notice until one day you get an email telling you about the mistake.  The mistake has been fixed and your pay will be $20 less going forward.  Also, you now owe your employer $240.  Not a pleasant thing to consider.

Ganahl: On Mother’s Day, we pause to honor women who make a difference every day

Approved, Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice / / ,

Today, kids across the country made handmade cards, cooked up a breakfast in bed and tried to tiptoe around the house to let their precious mommas get a bit more sleep. It’s the day of the year we celebrate the hard-working, loving, ever-giving matriarch of the family: Mother’s Day!

Basile: ‘Woke’ Scouts and the death of another American institution

Approved, Commentary, The Washington Times / / , ,

Another week, another headline that has millions wondering what has happened to the America of our youth. “Woke” social engineering by the far left appears to have claimed another victim: the Boy Scouts of America. The organization that had molded millions of boys into leaders who valued nature, personal responsibility and hard work has announced it will rebrand itself as “Scouting America,” removing the word “boy” from its name. It’s a wonder they didn’t remove America too.

Brauchler: How best to protect our children in school

Commentary, Approved, gazette.com / / ,

In a more perfect world, we would not know the name Kendrick Castillo. In a more perfect world, the only son of John and Maria Castillo would be starting a career in robotics after graduating college, driving his jeep all over, attending church with his parents, maybe spending time with someone he met and was sweet on, and generally living the promising life of a man in his early 20s.

Copeland: How to stop wrecking our country

Approved, Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice / / ,

Let’s be realistic. Undoing the malign influence of Marxist ideology and anti-Semitism in our schools is going to take a very long time. Our elementary age children are being educated to be activists for progressive causes. It will take a massive effort to build a whole generation of teachers in K-12 and universities who will teach the truth and America’s founding principles.

Approved, Commentary / / , ,

I read the Fort Morgan Times article (linked) after seeing our AG Phil Weiser tweet about how meaningful it was for him to be out for the groundbreaking of a new housing development sponsored by Cargill and meant to help provide affordable housing to their employees.

Sloan: The Roots of Disorder

Approved, Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice /

The disruptions on university campuses around the world continue, to the point that on many colleges actual conduct of educational activity is something available only to the most resourceful. We know the cause of the day that serves as the catalyst for the disorder; support for Hamas and implicitly – and often explicitly – antisemitic hatred for Israel. That, of course, is merely symptomatic; the real hatred is broader, and more generally revolutionary – a hatred for Western Civilization and all of the manners, morals, and customs that accompany it.

Smrz: Thirty-seven 1st Amendment advocates denied a voice at Colorado Capitol 

State, Approved, Commentary / /

On May 1, 2024, The House Education Committee hearing for Colorado Senate Bill 24-158 proceeded without hearing from any of the 37 opponents registered to provide testimony against the bill. Capital insiders were struck by the one-sided monopolization of the hearing, where only testimony in support of the legislation was permitted. This raises concerns about legislative protocol and stakeholder engagement.
