Rebutting the left’s open borders agenda | Mike Rosen
The real, but unspoken, primary motivation of the Democrats’ Open Borders agenda, especially as it applies to Central and South America, has been to import millions of Latinos who will return the favor by voting for Democrats in the future. Democrats hope that most of these immigrants, especially those who entered illegally, will note that…

Careers suitable for Generation Z
Although people that fall within the age boundaries of a generation may have many characteristics and beliefs in common, a sweeping generalization that stereotypes all of them is presumptuous, ignoring the individuality of many others. Since I was born during World War II, I’m two years short of being technically a Baby Boomer. However, I’m…

COLUMN: The absolute worst measures on this year’s ballot | Mike Rosen
On the Colorado ballot are two measures that are interwoven: Propositions LL and MM. Both are legacies of Proposition FF which was passed by the Democrat-controlled state legislature in 2022, creating the Healthy School Meals for All Program (HSMA).

COLUMN: Jimmy Kimmel can’t hide behind the First Amendment | Mike Rosen
Jimmy Kimmel’s recent “firing” (actually, a mere one-week suspension) as host of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” for his false, tasteless, and asinine remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination kicked off a firestorm of political controversy between the left and right about freedom of speech. Let’s set the record straight. The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution…

Gun control won’t stop school shootings | Mike Rosen
How many times have you heard this anguished and furious cry: “We must ensure that something like this will never happen again!” The “something like this” would apply to horrific events like the 9/11 attack on America by Islamist terrorists, the Japanese surprise attack on the U.S. Navy fleet at Pearl Harbor in 1941, and…

Teacher unions drive public-school failure
In a recent Gazette column, Eric Sonderman described the chronically underperforming American public education system as “nothing short of a national scandal,’’ deserving of the disparaging moniker “Edugate.” Quite an indictment coming from an erstwhile Democrat. As a conservative Republican, I heartily agree with that appraisal. I agree with many of Eric’s reforms like variable…

COLUMN: The perils of democratic socialism
Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old who won the Democrat primary (endorsed by fellow socialists Bernie Sanders and AOC) is now the party’s wholly unqualified candidate for mayor of New York City. He’s a Muslim antisemite and Israel hater. In college, he co-founded the school’s chapter of the pro-Hamas “Students for Justice in Palestine,” and graduated with…

COLUMN: Flock helps cops, Denver Dems help criminals
A criminal repeat-offender steals a car in Englewood. The stolen vehicle is later identified by police at the Castle Rock Outlets using drone technology. Three police officers drive through the parking lot and blockade the perpetrator as he gets into the driver’s seat of the stolen car. The perp then rams through the three police…

COLUMN: Jason ought to eat crow
A recent insightful op-ed column in the Wall Street Journal by Karl Rove described the Democrat Party’s infighting, self-destruction, and outright hysteria. Colorado Rep. Jason Crow (or whichever of his liberal staffers likely wrote it) replied with a feeble letter to the editor that was an unresponsive, laughable repetition of distorted, and delusional Democrat talking…
