The Left’s Pattern of Political Violence Cannot Be Overlooked

By Mark Hemingway | Commentary, The Federalist Violence has long been weaved into the fabric of the American left, and until we honestly reckon with that, a bleak political future awaits. Yesterday, I was writing a piece on the tragic killing of Iryna Zarutska down in Charlotte that has captured national attention. Before I could finish, news came down the beloved conservative activist Charlie Kirk had been shot at a university in Utah. I’ve been covering politics for a long time, and I can’t say I’ve ever had a story about politically charged violence pre-empted by even more political violence. Nor do I ever want this to happen again. But I was doing my best to Kubler-Ross my way through this — I’ve met Kirk and generally thought highly of him — but I didn’t really snap until I s...

Trump Exposed the Elite Class Now Americans Must Decide What’s Next

By Ashe in America | Commentary, Ashe in America on Substack How’s everyone liking the golden age here in Colorado? Kind of a mixed bag, right? Let’s go back to the beginning… I want everyone to try and remember what you were feeling on January 20, 2017. What was your head space like as President Trump took the oath of office? What was your hope level as you heard President Trump say: “Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power…Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People. For too long, a small gro...

Media fig leaves and selective lawsuits: the Colorado story you’re not hearing

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project Journalistic fig leaves and defunding public media. It is common in news reports on defunding public media to have the reporter say some version or another of "conservatives accuse public media of political bias". You're welcome to your own thoughts on the matter, but I personally believe these accusations are grounded in reality. I present you a CPR article (linked at bottom) to show you why. It's an article about how some Colorado House Democrats went on a tour of the ICE facility in Aurora and their concerns/accusations. You'll see plenty of Democrats talking about their perspective on what they saw, on ICE, etc. To give you a sense of the gravity of some of the accusations, I provide you the following qu...

800% spike in ICE attacks blamed on ‘radical left’ by agency director

BY BRADLEY DEVLIN | THE DAILY SIGNAL https://youtu.be/61QbHhHtVY0?feature=shared This article is a preview of Politics Editor Bradley Devlin’s interview with acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons on “The Signal Sitdown.” Watch the full episode on YouTube by clicking on the video above. Two months ago, violent riots broke out in America’s second-largest city after immigration enforcement officers served legal warrants, signed by a judge, to individuals in this country illegally.  The rioters, which the media assured you were “mostly peaceful,” laid siege to federal buildings, attacked law enforcement officers, lit cop cars on fire, and looted businesses for days—all while flying the flag of a foreign country. Of course, we’re talking about the Los...

Garbo: A Christian conservative’s honest, loving perspective on LGBTQIA+ and sin

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice I’m a Christian. I’m a Conservative. I believe the Bible is the Word of God, not a suggestion, not a cultural relic, but the truth. And, though it is admittedly very difficult to do at times, I also believe deeply in loving my neighbor - all of them - unconditionally. That includes the LGBTQIA+ community. Let’s be honest: Pride Month brings up tension, especially for those of us who don't support the ideology or the prurient displays often celebrated in public forums. But disagreement is not hate. Conviction is not fear. And rejecting a behavior doesn’t mean rejecting a person. If I’m going to be consistent with my faith, then I have to love people - really love them - even when I believe they're sinning. I’m called to lo...
