Gaines: My experience with wolves, Gov. Polis and the legal system

By Cory Gaines | Colorado Accountability Project We have finally approached the end of our settlement.  I won't go into the gory details (if you want more, I linked to Rachel Gabel's contemporaneous op ed below), but back in January of this year, I testified at a Colorado Parks and Wildlife commissioners meeting.  I was quite critical of the way that they handled their business.   I was cut off by the head commissioner and then booted from this meeting.  Thanks to the Public Trust Institute taking my case pro bono, I was able to do more than just gripe to friends. I truly appreciate their taking my case, because, outside of Mrs. Gabel and a tiny mention by Shaun Boyd, no one else in the media seemed to care about the loss of my First Amendment rights an...

Barnhart: Why is no level of abortion ever enough?

By Faye Barnhart | Guest Columnist We know that the multi-billion-dollar abortion industry makes its money from abortion, so we can follow the money. We know that taking the lives of innocent human beings is itself hellish and the practice demonic and an important ‘religious’ rite in satanic devil worship. We know that allowing such evil tears at the very fabric of a society, the family, and individual in ways that God has historically judged and dispossessed nations because of the horrible injustice of it. Abortion intentionally takes the life of a healthy, innocent, tiny living infant through poison, scalding, dismemberment, or other inhumane and painful torture, including stabbing them as they struggle to be born or leaving a child who has managed to survive to starve to death on ...

Walcher: The EPA’s end run around the Supreme Court

By GREG WALCHER | GregWalcher.com An “end run” was once a common football term, describing an offensive play in which the ball carrier runs around the end of the defensive line. But today it is more often used rhetorically to describe a strategic dodge, any maneuver to bypass, circumvent, or sidestep. It’s more common in politics than in football. Many Westerners celebrated earlier this year when the Supreme Court finally declared once and for all that “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) does not include every creek, pond, ditch, puddle, and parking lot drain in the country. EPA spent nearly a decade trying to use WOTUS as the regulatory tool for a vast expansion of federal jurisdiction, to include virtually all activity that touches any water, ignoring the plain language...

Krannawitter: Campaign finance reform is to blame for prosecution of Trump

By THOMAS L. KRANNAWITTER, PH.D. | Liberty Lyceum Substack Campaign finance laws—not merely McCain-Feingold—were at the heart of the recent jury conviction of Donald Trump. A more accurate title, therefore, could be: Revenge of Campaign Finance Reform Laws. The essence of campaign finance laws and regulations should be offensive—even outrageous—to self-governing United States citizens. Imagine those in government commanding how and when and whether you spend your own money, and then demanding detailed reports when you do. That’s what campaign finance reform laws are all about: Controlling the many in ways that benefit established, incumbent political elites.

Prager: Why Americans mistrust election results more than the citizens of any other democracy

By Dennis Prager | TownHall.com Last week, 27 European nations voted for their representatives in the European Parliament. If you were aware of this, did you happen to notice that there were no allegations of cheating in any European country? If you are on the left, you might respond that there were no such allegations because the right did better than the left, and it's the right that makes these allegations. But that response has little merit. For one thing, there were no such allegations, let alone demonstrations, during all the years left-wing parties won European Parliamentary elections or national elections. For another, in America, it is not only the right that has charged election fraud: Hillary Clinton, for example, still claims the 2016 election was stolen from her. T...

Paulson: It’s Trump’s time to shine

By Terry Paulson | TownHall.com Former President Trump could easily be over-confident going into the June debate. President Joe Biden isn't even comfortable answering questions from friendly media who want him to look good. He struggles even when he has note cards. Can you imagine how he might perform in the debate when he doesn't know the questions or Donald Trump's response. Even many in his own party are worried about him not performing well.  It almost makes you wonder if this could be the Democrats' plan. A poor performance in the debates could increase the calls for Biden to step down and not run for four more years. With the next scheduled debate being in September and their Chicago convention in August, Democrats would have time to let Biden withdraw with honor and still...

Swearer: These accounts of defensive gun use speak volumes

By Amy Swearer | The Daily Signal It seems that many gun control activists want to take your guns so badly that they’re willing to take your voice, too. And increasingly, the war for the Second Amendment involves battles waged on a First Amendment front. Just ask the National Rifle Association, which last week needed the Supreme Court to vindicate its right to free speech against New York’s attempts to suppress the gun rights organization’s pro-Second Amendment views. New York’s unconstitutional assault on a Second Amendment advocacy group was, unfortunately, far from the first time that gun control activists have attacked the lawful gun industry and lawful gun owners by threatening their right to speak freely.

Fuller: The many reasons you shouldn’t be afraid to question election results

By Levi Fuller  | The Daily Signal It’s been said that the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn’t exist. Most of us remember the national election of 2020: The COVID-19 pandemic, sudden changes to election procedures, mysterious mail-in ballots, allegedly hacked voting systems, and legions of lawyers filing scores of lawsuits. I think we all remember the aftermath in 2021, as well. Thousands of angry conservative voters traveled to Washington, D.C., and entered the Capitol to protest the certification of the election after a surprise upset led to Joe Biden becoming the president. Then came the speculation: Did the Chinese hack voting machines to flip the vote in favor of Biden? Were countless mail-in ballots sh...

Sloan: After DA Alvin Bragg’s unorthodox case against Donald Trump, now what?

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice It is pretty much universally accepted, at least quietly and with furtive glances, that Manhattan Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump was… er… unorthodox, to say the least.  The legal gymnastics required to take a misdemeanor for which the statute of limitations has long since expired and transmogrify it into 34 felonies are almost disturbingly impressive. They are similar, in reverse, to the circumlocutions that liberal DA’s go through to reduce charges and keep real criminals out of jail. It’s nearly impossible, for instance, to get convicted of a felony and get sentenced to prison in Denver, the local appetite being more geared towards pleading down to misdemeanors whatever crimes the Colo...

Thanks to Title IX, I was a champion gymnast. Now it’s been corrupted

By JENNIFER SEY | Sey Everything Substack Fifty-two years ago this month, Title IX was enacted to prohibit sex discrimination in educational programs and activities at institutions that receive federal funding. And for all of its wide-reaching impacts, it is best known for mandating equality in sports between the sexes. This was predicated on the commonsense truth that men and women are biologically different, and without sex-based categories in sports, girls and women would never have the opportunity to compete on an equal playing field. Title IX changed the game for young women, unleashing opportunities for them that had never existed. As of 1972 there were about 300,000 women and girls playing college and high school sports in the U.S. Female ...
