Hancock: Manufacturing chaos is the progressive blueprint for power

Commentary, Approved, National, Substack, Top Stories / / , , , ,

By now, the pattern is as familiar as it is sinister. A protest erupts into violence. A crisis becomes an opportunity. An institution is denounced, discredited, and dismantled. And always, always, someone else is to blame. 

This is not coincidence. It is strategy. 

We are witnessing the methodical deployment of chaos as a political narrative—a calculated tool of progressive activism that feeds on division, cultivates instability, and then offers itself as the only remedy.

Enos: If parents can’t challenge books or protect embryos, who will?

Commentary, Approved, Christian Home Educators of Colorado, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , ,

The majority in the Colorado General Assembly seems to have caught the attention of the Trump Administration. The U.S. Department of Education spokeswoman Julie Hartman told the Daily Signal that “Children do not belong to the government. They belong to parents.” 

Then, on March 28th of this year, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon sent a letter to educators that included the following statement: “Under President Trump’s leadership, my Department will no longer passively accept school officials’ hostility to parental involvement. The Department stands with parents in exercising their rights to the full extent of the law.”

This may be news to Colorado’s General Assembly.

Caldara: Nothing’s more expensive than “free” school lunch

A key part of the planned march toward socialism is, of course, endless propaganda.

It’s not enough just to rely on the politics of envy. We need to take away those dangerous little opportunities where young people might accidentally experience the benefit of the free market in their fledgling lives. So how can we teach children to participate in class warfare, punish the productive by taking their stuff and that property rights and free exchange don’t exist?

Enter Colorado’s oversubscribed, already broke (as all redistribution schemes become) “free” school lunch program. Who could have guessed a $50 million take-from-thy-neighbor scheme would quickly cost $150 million?

Minary: Common principles of Conservatism and why they matter in Colorado

Approved, Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The majority of Coloradans have become disengaged and disillusioned with Party politics and rhetoric, for good reasons. Both major parties, R and D, have lost their way. So, the largest bloc of voters in CO is now “Unaffiliated.”

In political discussions, we often use ‘labels’ to describe ourselves and others. These labels include terms like Republican, Democrat, Moderate, Right, Left, Liberal and Conservative. Unfortunately, if you ask 10 people to define exactly what their own political label means, only one can do it with any clarity. That leads very quickly to stereotyping, misunderstandings and disagreement. Rather than listening, we talk over, rather than with, each other.

Cole: Illegal driving, rising costs, and scarce patrols—welcome to Denver’s roads

Commentary, Approved, Local, Rocky Mountain Voice, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , ,

Each afternoon, my three-mile commute home in Denver’s metro area is a nerve-wrecking ordeal. Drivers speed through stop signs, ignore red lights, or stop inexplicably at unmarked intersections. Cars swerve across lanes, straddle the center line, or disrupt four-way stops. 

Vehicles without plates, with expired tags, or overdue permits are all too common. 

As a single-income earner with only liability insurance, I dread a crash with an uninsured driver. 

One accident could destroy my car—my lifeline to work and rent.

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

Fox News, Approved, Commentary / / , ,

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.

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

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, State, Top Stories / / , , , , ,

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 powers over the people. 

More concerning was the increasing dogma from Coloradan to Coloradan, neighbor to neighbor, family member to family member. As Colorado’s COVID reopening quandary deepened, our sense of community was crushed.
