The last, best hope for the Colorado GOP | Kelly Sloan
If the Colorado Republican Party desires to retain any relevancy, let alone wrest back any of the levers of political control in the state, it needs to elect Barb Kirkmeyer in the June 30 primary. To be sure, Kirkmeyer would be a solid candidate for…

Affronts to our children’s children | Hal Bidlack

DPS’ celebration doesn’t match the data
Denver Public Schools is seeing green — literally. As Superintendent Alex Marrero hailed the district’s new “accredited (green)” rating as “a significant milestone” last week, he asked teachers to wear green and even changed the district’s website’s color scheme to match. But there are lies,…

Colorado Republicans will have to live with the consequences of their candidate of choice | Miller Hudson
Two surprising election results this year in Colorado and Maine’s 2026 primaries compel us to examine the role of voters. It’s usually regarded as impolite, if not insulting, to question the judgment of voters. Democratic theory often implies the collective conclusions they reach capture some…

One Republican can save the First Congressional | Jon Caldara
Colorado Republicans once again nominated a statewide candidate who has no chance of winning but has a lock on being a national laughingstock. But though the governor’s race is already over, Republicans in Colorado’s First Congressional District have one last opportunity this cycle to accomplish…

Colorado Commission prioritizes feelings over science | Rachel Gabel
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission voted Thursday and prioritized feelings over science-based management. Meanwhile, Rancher X is the beneficiary of those feelings-driven decisions.

‘Let’s make 2025 the Year of the American Man’ | DUFFY
Sean Duffy American society needs to man up. In the election just concluded, the yawning chasm between the candidate choices of men and women — particularly younger Americans — received overdue attention.

So much potential — and such a tragic loss | MAES
Dennis Maes During my 40-year legal career as an attorney and judge I was privy to numerous violent and negligent acts that often resulted in death or maiming. The victims included the most vulnerable children, including infants, and the elderly who were robbed of the…

Another of Marx’s claims — his primary lead — was fake news | Dick Wadhams
Self-declared exorcist of demons and swashbuckling rescuer of 45,000 innocent women and children, Victor Marx narrowly won the Republican nomination for governor despite claiming he had a 44-point lead just weeks before the election. Marx received 39.9% while state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer won 39.4% and…
George Brauchler
The ballot is our only path to law and order in Colorado | BRAUCHLER
George Brauchler Criminal justice was on the ballot this past Tuesday. Coloradans showed strong support for public safety-related matters and rejected our legislature’s decade-long move to prioritize criminals over public safety and law enforcement. The 2024 legislative session has again proven there is a disconnect…
