Lobue: Since Biden inherited the Trump boom, the whole economy’s gone bust

Approved, Commentary, The Federalist / / , ,

Gaines: Getting back from the state what we’re owed under TABOR

Approved, Commentary, completecolorado.com / / ,

Pretend that your employer accidentally overpaid you, say $20 extra a month for a couple years.  Neither of you notice until one day you get an email telling you about the mistake.  The mistake has been fixed and your pay will be $20 less going forward.  Also, you now owe your employer $240.  Not a pleasant thing to consider.

Basile: ‘Woke’ Scouts and the death of another American institution

Approved, Commentary, The Washington Times / / , ,

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.

Approved, Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice / / ,

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.

Commentary, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice / / ,

There is a famous story about Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman walking down the street with a friend. The friend stopped and said, “Hey, there is a $20 bill on the sidewalk.” The economist turned to him and replied, “There can’t be.

Barnhart: Abortion doesn’t belong in Colorado’s Constitution

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary / / , ,

Healthcare should be about helping people find health. Reproductive healthcare should preserve a woman’s ability to have children. And the right to live is the most basic right for all of us who have everything that makes us human and alive from the moment we are conceived within the protective sphere of our mother.

Sweeting: Free speech on campus isn’t absolute

Approved, Centennial Institute, Commentary / / , ,

Fierce campus debates swirl around the Israel-Hamas war. One of them is a debate about the extent of free speech. Should there be restrictions on those protesting Israel’s military actions or its right to exist? Protesters’ voices vary, with some being pro-Palestinian and others pro-Hamas. Some are calling for a cease-fire, while others call for the end to the Jewish state. Freedom of speech is a precious right guaranteed in our Constitution’s First Amendment. The right to discuss, debate, inquire and even protest on a university campus should be cherished and protected. But are there limits?
