Gaines: Instead of schools, state grants funded advocacy for equity, gay forestry—and ‘indigenizing’

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project In an earlier post (see the first link below), I mentioned a couple of state expenses to the environmental advocacy group Cultivando that had caught my eye in their TOPS expense report.The first was a line item for $500 labeled as "personal services -- professional" charged to the Colorado Energy Office (CEO). The other was a grant for $24,700 to Cultivando charged to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).I wrote in and got the records back for these expenses. I thought them interesting enough to share. Perhaps they're not big dollar amounts, but they are representative of the kinds of thought processes among policymakers and bureaucrats that put us in the financial state we're in--you know the state where we are short...

Joondeph: When artificial intelligence becomes ideological programming

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker A computer is only as good as the data you put into it. That warning from the early days of computing -- garbage in, garbage out -- has never been more relevant than in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).  AI now drives everything from search engines to image generators, yet instead of providing objective, data-backed insights, it too often parrots progressive narratives, twisting facts to match feelings. Case in point: despite U.S. Census Bureau data indicating that over 75% of Americans identify as white, AI-generated images of “typical Americans” often show mostly non-white groups. This isn’t intelligence. It’s indoctrination, built into algorithms by ideologues in Silicon Valley. Corporate media is similar, p...

Hunter: Fort Morgan ribbon cutting celebrates purpose and partnership at Leprino’s only string cheese facility

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, RMV NE CO Newsroom, Rocky Mountain Voice There’s something deeply satisfying about a slice of pizza. Maybe it’s the gooey mozzarella that stretches with every bite or the quiet delight of knowing where that cheese comes from, especially when it’s right in your backyard. Recently, I had the opportunity to join Leprino Foods in Fort Morgan, Colorado, for their Fort Morgan Area Chamber of Commerce Red Ribbon Ceremony. The event wasn’t just a formal ribbon-cutting—it was a bold step forward in deepening community connections, fueled by purpose, people, and plenty of cheese. The afternoon began with a warm welcome led by Conor Kokes, Continuous Improvement Specialist and the driving force behind Leprino’s Community Impact Team. Conor kicked things off with...

Garbo: Treason in Plain Sight—Obama’s Coup and the Democratic Betrayal of America

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice If Tulsi Gabbard’s revelations don’t make your blood boil, you haven’t been paying attention. The coordinated deception revealed by the Director of National Intelligence is not just a scandal – it is a full-blown betrayal of the American people, engineered at the highest levels of our government. This wasn’t carelessness. It was deliberate. And it wasn’t just dirty politics. It was treason. President Barack Obama knew the truth. His top officials - James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice - knew the truth. The intelligence community found no legitimate evidence that Donald Trump colluded with Russia. But that didn’t stop them. Instead, they manufactured a lie, inflated a hoax, and fed it to a willing and corrupt media to unleash ...

WOLF: Behind the Curtain of Power The Hidden Network Controlling the Narrative

By Dr Naomi Wolf | Commentary, Substack Half the country is up in arms about President Donald Trump’s inexplicable decision to mock his base, because many are appalled that Attorney General Pam Bondi seems to be orchestrating a coverup of a serial rapist of children. Bondi’s Justice Department released a memo last week: “The two-page document said the department found no evidence of an Epstein client list and that no additional files from the investigation would be made public.” President Trump’s response to all this has been startling: He stated that “[O]nly really bad people […] want to keep something like this going.” According to NBC, he also called MAGA supporters of his who are upset at AG Bondi, “weaklings” who “bought into this bull—-t” —. President Trump’s supporters,...

KESHEL: America Bids Farewell to a Hero Who Fought for Faith and Freedom

By Capt. Seth Keshel | Commentary, Substack I spent a lot of my childhood believing I simply wasn’t able to keep up with my peers. A loser mentality, once it sets it, requires substantial effort to permanently discard; the trouble is that the wins needed to find proper self-esteem are so few and far between, the mind becomes conditioned to accept negative outcomes. Picked last again in gym class. Again. Struck out against the slowest pitcher. Again. The girl I like rejected me. Again. It wasn’t until high school that I shook off many of my self-esteem issues, stopped stressing about grades, and started taking part in extracurricular activities. Even then, much of the can’t do mentality stuck with me. I’d have to peg my military career as the point in time in which I feel I f...

Gimelshteyn: Don’t blame Trump—Colorado’s education crisis was created by failed state and local leadership

By Lori A. Gimelshteyn | Commentary, Colorado Politics According to the 2024 Colorado Measures of Academic Standards (CMAS) results, an alarming seven in 10 students in Denver Public Schools (DPS) are not meeting grade-level expectations in math and nearly 60% of students are not proficient in English. That is not a small gap; it is a catastrophic failure. But instead of taking responsibility, DPS and progressive politicians are pointing fingers at the federal government, pretending they had no warning of federal funding requirements, all while defending classrooms increasingly focused on ideology instead of academics. On July 2, CBS Colorado reported the Trump administration froze nearly $7 billion in federal education funding nationwide, including $70 million earmarked for Colo...

Givas: Trump Salutes Hulk Hogan as a Patriot Who Helped Power MAGA

By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal President Donald Trump honored the memory of his “Great Friend” Hulk Hogan on his Truth Social account on Thursday, saying he was “MAGA All the Way” following the news of his death. “We lost a great friend today, the ‘Hulkster,'” Trump wrote. “Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart. He gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, that was one of the highlights of the entire week.” Trump added, “He entertained fans from all over the World, and the cultural impact he had was massive. To his wife, Sky, and family, we give our warmest best wishes and love. Hulk Hogan will be greatly missed.” The commander in chief offered a touching remembrance for Hog...

Sullivan: Ticktin’s legal maneuver revives Tina Peters’ constitutional challenge

By Jason Sullivan | Commentary, The Gateway Pundit What was expected to be the quiet dismissal of Tina Peters’ federal habeas petition — challenging a state court ruling that denied her bond — became one of the most dramatic legal turnarounds in recent memory, as Trump attorney Peter Ticktin and his team delivered a precise, devastating First Amendment argument that stopped the court in its tracks. The federal court in Colorado — now entertaining jurisdiction under a habeas corpus petition — has formally agreed to receive refined constitutional arguments by this Friday, July 25, focused exclusively on whether Tina Peters is being unlawfully imprisoned for her political speech — a violation of her First Amendment rights that, if confirmed, could result in her immediate release on bond...
