Tooker: Why am I opposed to the 400,000-acre proposed Dolores River National Monument?

The proposed Dolores River National Monument will stonewall all economic processes that our community has worked toward.

We do not want to be force-fed a single recreation industry, nor do we want to be wiped off the map like other national monument communities.

Slemenda: It’s America’s birthday, and we’re still the best

Ah, The Fourth of July. By far my favorite holiday. The fourth serves as a time for Americans to kick back, crack open their favorite ice-cold domestic beer, watch fireworks recreate that rocket’s red glare and celebrate the fact that we live in the greatest country in human history.

Krannawitter: These self-evident ideals remain true today

It has been wildly popular and has garnered significant acclaim, turning obscure journalists and writers into DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) celebrities.

York: Biden’s big Dirty Harry ‘make my day’ bluff was called by Trump

Until a week ago, President Joe Biden seemingly had the age issue under control. Yes, he had senior moments, some of which were quite severe, such as the episode at the White House Juneteenth concert in which he weirdly froze for two minutes, silent, eyes fixed straight ahead, body absolutely motionless.
