Colorado Springs Gazette: Federal officials have duty to investigate Hickenlooper’s use of disaster recovery funds
—
by
U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn wants the federal government to investigate former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper’s highly suspect use of federal funds intended for disaster recovery. He should not have to ask. The well-known and seemingly outrageous misuse of funds has been covered by Colorado’s major media organizations, and federal officials have an ethical and fiduciary…

Colorado Springs Gazette: State calls ‘racism’ a public health crisis
—
by
Racism. View it as tainted water, the measles, or the flu. It is a public health crisis if one believes the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, which relates “racism” to the higher rate of China virus infection among minorities. By blaming racism as a cause for the spread of COVID-19, the state distracts…

Colorado Springs Gazette: Free speech is under full attack
—
by
Our First Amendment is under attack. Public officials refuse to enforce it. Some instruct law enforcement to flagrantly disobey it. We’ve seen this. Crowded left-wing riots, which long ago forgot about the value of Black lives, are treated as a protected form of peaceable assembly that cannot be questioned. Church picnics and traditional weekend worship…

Colorado Springs Gazette: We celebrate 1776, not a 1619 slave ship
—
by
On this day in 1776, individuals with a shared vision for unprecedented freedom established a country by declaring independence from the British monarchy.

Colorado Springs Gazette: Supreme Court rejects the the last remnant of school segregation
—
by
As mostly white left-wing activists wreaked ongoing havoc on minority neighborhoods, the country barely noticed a landmark civil rights victory in the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday. The ruling, on the magnitude of Brown v. Board of Education, liberates all children to benefit from schools traditionally available only to the rich. The 5-4 majority decision…

Colorado Springs Gazette: Biden joins Colorado Pride despite an anti-gay past
—
by
The destructive left-wing revolution of 2020 holds people to the standards of today. It offers no leeway for past social values and common views that evolve dramatically over time. Abraham Lincoln, the man who liberated slaves, cannot meet the moral standards of woke bullies who punish people’s words and deeds of decades or centuries ago.…

Colorado Springs Gazette: It’s not about race, it’s about revolution
—
by
What began as justifiable outrage over the videotaped murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis cops — a crime no rational person would downplay or excuse — has become a war on Western civilization. (See today’s Perspective interview) Charlene Couch, an African American writing in the Baltimore Sun, witnessed uprisings in her city and said of…

Colorado Springs Gazette: Self-serving candidates campaign to govern CU
—
by
A primary race will determine whether the University of Colorado’s Board of Regents gets another CU employee with an intractable conflict of interest. The Democratic primary for a regent to represent Congressional District 2 (Boulder, Fort Collins, and portions west) gives voters a choice among Callie Rennison, Dave Gross and Aaron Harber. The primary will…

Colorado Springs Gazette: Stop the fringe from prohibiting natural gas
—
by
Conflict among Colorado’s fringe environmental groups has led to another proposed ballot attack on energy. Radical activists want to outlaw natural gas stoves, water heaters, home heating systems, and anything else that burns the clean, affordable, and efficient gas. Trouble began when left-wing activist Joe Salazar, executive director of Colorado Rising, betrayed both the environmental…
