Davidson: Whatever U.S. elites are defending in Ukraine, it isn’t democracy
It’s getting harder and harder to pretend the war in Ukraine, now in its third year, is about “defending democracy,” as our political elites in Washington insist.

Barnhart: Learning to live with the uncertainty of parenting
The primary educators and caregivers of children are their parents. It actually does not take a village to raise a child, it only takes parents.
Devotional: What the Old and New Testament have to say on immigration
The contributions of immigrants have enriched our country’s strength and diversity, a fact that we should all appreciate.
Sloan: The greater threat to the planet
George Will recently wrote a rather chilling column, pointing out something so obvious that it has escaped much attention. That is this: while much of the world is obsessed over climate change, to the point of spending trillions of dollars annually, virtually no attention is being paid to another hypothetical scenario, one that is at least as real in potential (if not more so) as climate change and which bears far more immediate and devastating consequences – that is the threat of nuclear war.
Walcher: Is the goal cleaner air, or something else?
Governments are often behind the curve in recognizing the latest technology. Innovation invariably moves faster than the intentionally slow processes of government. We saw that with the Biden Administration’s methane regulations, and we are seeing it again with its recent move to halt upcoming liquefied natural gas (LNG) export permits.

Basile: ‘Woke’ Scouts and the death of another American institution
Another week, another headline that has millions wondering what has happened to the America of our youth. “Woke” social engineering by the far left appears to have claimed another victim: the Boy Scouts of America. The organization that had molded millions of boys into leaders who valued nature, personal responsibility and hard work has announced it will rebrand itself as “Scouting America,” removing the word “boy” from its name. It’s a wonder they didn’t remove America too.
Copeland: How to stop wrecking our country
Let’s be realistic. Undoing the malign influence of Marxist ideology and anti-Semitism in our schools is going to take a very long time. Our elementary age children are being educated to be activists for progressive causes. It will take a massive effort to build a whole generation of teachers in K-12 and universities who will teach the truth and America’s founding principles.
Gaines: Colorado Democrats skirt asking your approval to take your money, bristle at attempts to rein them in
I think that, among other things, one-party dominance in this state has led to an arrogance on the part of the ruling party.
