Schlichter: No amnesty, no compromise, no surrender

By Kurt Schlichter | Commentary, Townhall There is cringe, and then there is the DIGNITY Act. It’s one of those stupid bills whose authors turn its title into a stupid acronym, but this latest amnesty proposal doesn’t make an acronym out of “DIGNITY”; fittingly, it makes it out of the Spanish word “DIGNIDAD” (Dignity) and stands for “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream.” We should ignite it all right, and deliver it to be used as a suppository, not just because of that idiocy, but because there’s so much more to hate. Basically, it’s a free ride for illegal aliens in exchange for enforcement that will never happen as soon as Democrats or a soft Republican takeover, another of those “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburge...

Hanson: The world woke up—and the left’s illusions shattered

By Victor David Hanson | Townhall In less than six months, the entire world has been turned upside down. There is no longer such a thing as conventional wisdom or the status quo. The unthinkable has become the banal. Take illegal immigration -- remember the 10,000 daily illegal entries under former President Joe Biden? Recall the only solution was supposedly "comprehensive immigration reform"--a euphemism for mass amnesties. Now, there is no such thing as daily new illegal immigration. It simply disappeared with common-sense enforcement of existing immigration laws -- and a new president. How about the 40,000-50,000 shortfall in military recruitment? Remember all the causes that the generals cited for their inability to enlist soldiers: generational gangs, obesity, dru...

The COvid Chronicles June 24-30, 2020: Statues fall, restrictions return–and kids get left behind

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board As June gave way to July, Colorado stood suspended in confusion. Were cases going down—or climbing again? Should the public still be afraid? Was it time to reopen bars—or shut them again? Those were surface-level questions. But the deeper question was this: who was actually being prioritized? While pediatricians urged Gov. Polis and health officials to consider the toll on kids, homeless camps spread into schoolyards and parks—and protesters shut down public meetings. Rioters tore down statues. And millionaire athletes declared that a revolution was not just coming—it was necessary. What could have been a cautious corner-turn instead gave way to something more combustible. The moment hardened into something worse: the foreshadowing of near-e...

Devotional: The darkroom where truth becomes life

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church There was something sacred about that small darkroom in my father’s house. During those custody visits with my dad, I recall slipping into a mysterious room filled with the faint scent of chemicals, the dim red glow, and the quiet hum of transformation. It wasn’t just a room — it was a portal where blurry, black-and-white film strips turned into full-color memories. My dad loved photography, and this was back in the ancient days before smartphones and digital everything. Back then, taking a picture wasn’t instant gratification; it was a process for sure. First, you got a negative, that is, a backward, inverted, and mysterious image, hidden in its own shadows. It didn’t look like much. But then came the illusion: ...

Bedford: The conservative revolution has finally arrived—and we’re not tired of winning

By Christopher Bedford | Commentary, The Blaze The fire rises If you spend an inordinate amount of time online — doomscrolling, podcast-hopping, and trading theories with your pals on Signal — you might be fixated on every twist in the Jeffrey Epstein saga. Or maybe you’ve convinced yourself that the transgender sports fight doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of American politics. That would be a serious mistake. Conservatives are finally acting like revolutionaries, while prominent Democrat mayors are screeching and sobbing in the streets. You’d be missing the most significant conservative revolution Washington has seen in decades — maybe ever. Start with sports. The right’s victory in pushing back transgender ideology on this front marks a turning point. Not just...

O’Donnell: Colorado’s new wildlife commission will conserve everything—except common sense

By Mike O’Donnell | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The Democratic Party swept to power in Colorado in the 2018 general election (the first time since 1936) under the guise of being a progressive party with the best interests of all Coloradans at heart. When they assumed office they embraced, en masse, the philosophy of the RadicalxChange movement, which—depending on your level of cynicism—shares some unsettling parallels with those catchy World Economic Forum slogans about how we’ll all “own nothing and be happy” by 2030. (No, that line’s not in the RadicalxChange handbook, but the vibe isn’t far off.) The movement also espouses adopting a “more democratic” concept for elections known as quadratic voting. Colorado was THE first test case for quadratic voting EVER in the...

TOTH: Trump Finds His Perfect Wingman in Susie Wiles

By Michael Toth | Commentary, The Hill Like President Trump or not, his second term is going much better for him than his first was. This time eight years ago, his presidency was in disarray, reeling from the Russiagate probe and the Senate’s rejection of ObamaCare repeal. That’s night and day from the current administration’s early victories from the tax-and-spending megabill, immigration and universal injunctions. Even European leaders and Ivy League universities are now heeding Trump’s demands. The president’s approval ratings are 5 percentage points higher now than at the same time in his first term, according to the RealClearPolitics aggregate poll. Pundits have credited White House chief of staff Susie Wiles for the new administration’s winning streak. But less has been w...

Enos: One Big Beautiful Bill? Encouraging news for homeschool freedom—and reason to stay engaged

By Colleen Enos | Commentary, Christian Home Educators of Colorado By now, everyone has heard about the passage of HR1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, by our Federal Congress. President Trump signed the bill into law on the 4th of July, before the fireworks began exploding in Washington, D.C., to celebrate America’s 249th birthday. The Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) was included in the legislation. Passing the bill was a monumental event, with the Trump Administration touting it as its signature achievement. It is important to note that the Education Scholarship donations provided for in the bill are made by individuals and are, therefore, private monies. They are not tax dollars. Delmarva claims that “this structure is intended to address c...

Sengenberger: Weiser’s CU intervention reveals his true priorities

By Jimmy Sengenberger | Commentary, Denver Gazette On Sunday, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser picked a fight he shouldn’t have. In a thread on X, Weiser — a Democrat running for governor — defended CU Regent Wanda James by blasting her colleagues for recently censuring and sanctioning her in a bipartisan vote. The board had censured James, who is a pot shop proprietor, after she tried to discredit and defund the university’s award-winning “Tea on THC” awareness campaign. It educates the public on the risks of marijuana use for kids, including during pregnancy. James, a Democrat who boasts of being the nation’s first Black owner of a legal retail marijuana business, had demanded earlier this year that the campaign’s website be “taken down immediately” over “racist” illustr...

Joondeph: Indoctrinated, indebted and disillusioned—why socialism seduces Gen Z

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Once seen as a taboo word in American politics, socialism has experienced a notable resurgence, especially among young voters. Polls show that more than half of millennials and Gen Zers now view socialism favorably. Politicians like Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have transformed what was once a fringe ideology into a highly popular political movement. Even more troubling, they’ve achieved this not through real policy solutions but by promoting a utopian fantasy rooted in grievance, entitlement, and historical ignorance. Image via ChatGPT Socialism is a system of “governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.” No truly socialist socie...
