Grice: The last person in the room caused this nightmare in America

By Rick Grice | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice For three-plus years now, a constant topic of conversation among most sentient observers of the American political scene has been, “Who do you really think is actually running the White House?”  Susan Rice? Barack Obama? Lately, Jill Biden?  Who?  I know that in countless conversations I’ve had during the Biden-Harris presidency, that very question has come up repeatedly. Now we know the answer: Kamala Harris.  She has boasted that for every major decision made during the Biden-Harris regime, she was the last person in the room.  Whether or not one believes that assertion, she claimed it so she must, without exception, be held to it.  Therefore, she signed onto, and by inference, agreed with every disas...

Caldara: Denver’s record high homeless entirely predictable

By Jon Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado Cyril Northcote Parkinson was a famed British naval historian (I mean really, just try to make up a snootier British name) who died in 1993. He is most noted for predicting, with complete accuracy, that in 2024 the Denver metro area would have more homeless than ever. Well, he might have used slightly different words, but lo and behold, the latest data release proved him right. In 1955, after a career of watching governmental inefficiency, he published a satirical essay in The Economist magazine and introduced the world to “Parkinson’s Law.” You instinctively know and understand it.

Hillman: For Trump to win, he must be disciplined

By Mark Hillman | Commentary, MarkHillman.com In a close election, everything matters.  Just ask Hillary Clinton about taking Wisconsin and Michigan for granted in 2016. This election looks like another close one because some voters will enthusiastically vote for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, but many others will again be voting against the candidate they dislike most. Based on recent polling, Trump has a base support of about 42%.  He can likely count on those voters no matter what.  Biden’s lowest numbers were similar, so Harris probably starts in the same or slightly better position depending on how long her media honeymoon lasts.  Support for third-party candidates has collapsed to 5% or less. A mere 10% of voters appear truly undecided.  If they v...

Lennington and Gruel: Title IX Changes Risk Undermining Female Athletics in the Name of Inclusivity

By Dan Lennington and Lauren Greuel | National Review With the closing ceremony now in the rearview, we can declare an official winner of the Olympics: Title IX. Now over 50 years old, Title IX is a federal law that guarantees equal treatment of men and women in American educational institutions, including in college sports. Before Title IX, schools heavily prioritized men’s athletic programs, with the average university devoting only 2 percent of athletic budgets to women’s sports. Title IX put an end to that disparity. The law’s mandates are rigorous. It requires distribution of scholarship dollars proportionally based on participation. Title IX also ensures that, as women step onto the field, court, or track, the financial support follows. By tying scholarsh...

Sloan: The legacy of ‘free stuff’ Biden government will continue with Harris

By Kelly Sloan | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Kamala Harris finally hinted at something resembling policy on Friday when she revealed snippets of her economic program, and it was every bit as horrifying as one would imagine. It was essentially a combination of spending sprees, price controls and offers of “free” stuff – meaning paid for by someone else. In other words, it was a prescription for more of the same, only writ large.  Whether she wants it to or not – more pointedly, whether Democratic campaign advisors want it to be or not – Harris’ campaign offers largely a continuation of the Biden administration and its legacy. Which is what, exactly? Well, domestically that legacy will almost certainly be the inflation that has dominated the economy for the last three-a...

Daniel Davidson: In fake news infomercial, the DNC has been one long litany of stupid, obvious lies

By John Daniel Davidson | Commentary, The Federalist It almost goes without saying that what Democrats are putting on at the DNC this week in Chicago is a simulacrum of democracy, a mimicry of the excitement and drama that might have come from a deliberative process of Democrat Party voters choosing their presidential candidate. None of it is real. The DNC has all the trappings of a major political party convention but without any of the substance. Not a single Democrat voter cast a primary ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris, yet Democrats are going through the motions as if that’s exactly what happened.

McGhee White: Earth to Democrats, why can’t you stop trying to appease the worst of Gen Z

By Kaylee McGhee White| The Washington Examiner The Democratic National Convention has barely begun, and it is already marred by liberal lunacy and protests from anti-Israel radicals, both of which are being driven by the very voters Democrats are trying to court: leftist Gen Zers. Vice President Kamala Harris, who, barring yet another intraparty coup, will be coronated this week as the party’s presidential nominee, seems to believe that success at the polls this November depends on winning over my generation of young voters. In fact, she seems to have handed over her entire campaign strategy to fresh-out-of-college 20-year-olds who think memes and “vibes” are an acceptable replacement for policy and substance.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHIN...

The Free Press: In her own basement strategy, how long can Kamala Harris avoid the press?

By The Editors | Commentary, The Free Press It has been a month since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. And a glorious month it’s been for Democrats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit. rats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit. But with all the kumbaya—despite fears of a 1968 reprise, the Dems have put on a mostly drama-free show in Chicago—Harris has avoided saying a single substantive thing, either about her record...

Gaines: I wish the Colorado 2nd Amendment Caucus well

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project I wish the Colorado 2nd Amendment Caucus well.  I support the idea. I just don't think it's going to matter. The article HERE and HERE details the formation of a new caucus among Colorado State House Republicans.  It's not quite clear who all is in it (Bottoms and Armagost are mentioned, but that's it). The purpose, according to a quote by Rep. Bottoms is "...to ensure that all Coloradoans are knowledgeable and safe when it comes to firearm ownership. The Colorado 2nd Amendment Caucus will serve as a platform for collaboration and understanding, transcending party lines to achieve this." This is a worthy goal and I'm in support of it.  To the extent that it gets media attention, I'm a fan.  ...

Emails from Readers: Say ‘Nuts’ to Polis and Dems, keep property tax on the ballot

Editor's note: Want to express your opinion? Email [email protected]. Give us your succinct thoughts on current events, be sure to include your name and hometown, and we might feature your letter. Dear Mr. Editor, I cannot believe the arrogance of the Democrat-led legislators and the posturing of Gov. Polis over the property tax issue. The Democrats seem to think that law-abiding, tax-paying, freedom-loving Colorado citizens are too stupid to really comprehend the importance of their socialist agenda. So much so, that when Prop. HH failed by a 59% to 41% margin, Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg stated in a TV news interview that Coloradans were swayed by extreme right-wing propaganda. Really! We're that gullible? Wow. It seems Colorado voters aren't as ignora...
