Johnson: CPW needs to act so producers know what is allowable to protect livestock from wolves

By Rona Johnson  | The Fence Post The wolf or wolves that killed a calf in Grand County, Colorado, were ones that were moved from Oregon to Colorado about three months ago. Initially, Colorado Parks and Wildlife did not report that the killer wolf or wolves were from Oregon, but eventually in response to pressure from the press and Colorado livestock producers the CPW caved and admitted the truth. Before the wolves from Oregon were introduced into Colorado, CPW Director Jeff Davis and his staff testified before the House Agriculture Committee on Sept. 12, 2023, that they would do everything they could to not bring problem wolves to Colorado.

Krannawitter: Are things becoming better or worse for the children of America?

By THOMAS L. KRANNAWITTER, PH.D. | Liberty Lyceum April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, established in 1983 by President Ronald Reagan’s Proclamation 5039. It is fitting, therefore, in this month of April, 2024, to ask some zetetic questions: How are children doing in the United States today? Are things becoming better or worse for the children of America? The United States is now a more progressive regime than ever before. Progressives now control virtually every institution of influence and power. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT LIBERTY LYCEUM

Devotional: What’s your priority in life, a destination or simply a dream?

By Drake Hunter | Guest Commentary Have you stopped to ponder how your worldview shapes life? It's a fascinating concept that provides insight into whether you're on the right path. Your worldview is a blend of your beliefs, influencing how you perceive things, interact with others, and even present yourself to the world. It's a powerful force that determines destination. As a Christian, I firmly believe that our destiny is to live with unwavering faith in the one true God — El Olam, trusting Him always. This eternal faith paves the way to our ultimate destiny (Psalms 33:11). It's a beautiful and inspiring way to live for those who honestly Just Believe. Authentic Christians center their lives around following Jesus Christ, who shows us the way to Truth. Jesus' worldview is sub...

Daniel: Unleash responsible energy production in Colorado, kill Senate Bill 24-159

By BOBBIE DANIEL | Guest Columnist Recently, our Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution declaring Mesa County’s opposition to Senate Bill 24-159, which prohibits new oil and gas production in Colorado. At first glance, the Front Range sponsors of this bill aim to give us less pollution, better health outcomes, reasonable care of finite mineral resources and more responsible property rights. We all want these things, and while the aspiration for reduced pollution and enhanced health and environmental stewardship is universal, the approach of SB 24-159 is concerning. It is a widely-known achievement of the 19th century that the greatest standard of living has been achieved by respecting private property rights of the individual, versus the road of collective...

Giordano: America’s woke education is fueling the mental health crisis

By Nicholas Giordano | FOX News According to a new Gallup poll, "happiness" is plummeting in America, adding to the mounting evidence that the U.S. has a mental health crisis on its hands. It is particularly alarming that these bleak findings include children, teens and young adults – demographics that have traditionally enjoyed relatively carefree lives and positive outlooks as they face a lifetime of promises.  But the data is sobering: suicide ranks as the second leading cause of death among children ages 10-14 and young adults ages 20-34. Furthermore, 55% of young adults under the age of 30 suffer from anxiety, and 47% are depressed and/or hopeless. Sadly, these statistics do not surprise me.  As a college professor, not only h...

Sloan: Biden’s betrayal of Israel in war with Hamas

By Kelly Sloan | Special Contributor, The Rocky Mountain Voice Back in October, in the stunned aftermath of the worst collective massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Presideent Joe Biden told the Israelis and the world that the U.S. would stand by them. He pledged American support, including armaments. It was a good moment, one civilized nation pledging its solidarity with another in the face of barbarity. Five months later, Biden informed the Israelis that they were essentially alone. On March 25, the UN Security Council voted on yet another morally bankrupt resolution calling for a unilateral and unconditional cease fire in the war in Gaza, and this time the United States abstained. In all previous iterations of this and other UN resolutions like it, which stop just short of...

Hillman: Progressive gun control bills defy common sense

By Mark Hillman | MarkHillman.com Although I am less optimistic, I still hold out hope that Colorado isn’t irretrievably doomed to follow California, Oregon and Washington into the hopeless abyss of Progressivism. A few key indicators will soon reveal if we have passed the point of no return, including whether enough common-sense Democrats remain to stand with Republicans against the Far Left’s relentless assault on our 2nd Amendment rights. Senate Bill 131 would prohibit licensed concealed-carry permit holders from carrying their guns in “sensitive spaces,” which sponsors Sen. Sonya Jaquez-Lewis (D-Boulder) and Chris Kolker (D-Centennial) defined as most places outside your home. The bill would ban legal possession in these gun-free zones by licensed permit-holders.  It would,...

Trump PAC creates virtual ‘Biden-Mart’ grocery store, with mind-blowing product price hikes since 2021

By Bob Hoge | Red State The Make America Great Again Inc. Trump super PAC has built a Biden grocery store website where you get to pick your items, and then it tells you what the final bill would have been under Trump.  Then it shocks the pants off you with what it now costs after three years plus of Bidenflation.  It's funny and sad at the same time; it's funny because it mocks Biden and his failed policies, but it's sad because those policies have hurt regular Americans.

Bzdek: Dogs are not people. They’re better than that.

By Vince Bzdek | Colorado Springs Gazette Dogs are not people, we must remember, even though we Coloradans often treat them as such with our doggie bars, doggie hotels, and doggie spas. No, dogs are not people. They do not cheat on you, give up on you, ignore you or abandon you during tough times. Their love is pretty much unconditional in my experience, no matter how unlovable their owners sometimes act. Dogs do not have people emotions. No, their emotions are more steadfast and generous than that. Certainly my dog had better social skills than I, always greeting every day, every trail and every person he met like they were the most interesting thing on the planet.

Cooke: Oppressive EPA emissions standard will cost Coloradans plenty

By Amy Oliver Cooke | Complete Colorado There’s so much gaslighting in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recently announced vehicle emissions standards, it may be guilty of expanding the Biden Administration’s carbon footprint simply with the news release. The EPA’s announcement claims its “strongest-ever” emissions standards will: Expand consumer choice in clean vehicles Protect Public Health Address the Climate Crisis Save Drivers Money The reality is that the new standards won’t do much, if anything, for the environment. They will cost consumers more money, reduce vehicle choices, and harm public health. Most egregious is the dictatorial nature of Washington, D.C. deciding for Americans across our vast nation how they can exercise their mobility freedom....
