There is a form of political ventriloquism occurring in America. The left warns, with breathless urgency, that Donald Trump is a dictator in waiting, a Mussolini in a red tie, poised to crush democracy with a golf swing and a sneer.
Yet while they scream “authoritarianism,” they themselves quietly build its infrastructure.

Just over a week ago, I warned that the shooting of two young Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C., by a far-left zealot chanting “Free Palestine” was not an isolated act but a harbinger.
In progressive strongholds, where criminal fanatics like Luigi Mangione are lionized, such violence would not merely persist—it would metastasize. And so it has. In Boulder, Colorado, barely an hour from my home, the grim prophecy has been fulfilled.

The views expressed here are my own and do not represent an official action or position of the Montrose Board of County Commissioners.
I was appointed to represent the people of District 3 in Montrose County, and I took an oath to uphold the Constitution. That includes defending our land, our rights, and our way of life here in Western Colorado.
In recent months, there’s been a coordinated push to place more of Colorado under federal control. We already fought back against the proposed Dolores National Monument, a 500,000-acre land grab, and we won.
Then came a 68,000 acre National Conservation Area proposal in Mesa and Montrose Counties. We stood our ground again and stopped it.
But now we’re facing two more massive federal designations.
Under President Donald Trump, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—led by Elon Musk—is lighting a fire under Republican voters ready to rip out Washington’s waste at the roots.
Launched in February 2025 via Executive Order 14158, DOGE has identified $175 billion in savings through asset sales, contract cancellations, and fraud crackdowns, including more than 12 million supposed Social Security recipients listed as over 120 years old—zombie accounts draining taxpayer dollars.
DOGE’s mission to eliminate waste has the people behind it—73% of Americans, including 89% of Republicans, support the effort. That kind of backing makes it a political powerhouse.

Communism, socialism, Marxism, Maoism, post-Mao Chinese-ism, and fascism may wear different uniforms, but they all march to the same beat—state control. One-party rule, diminished freedoms, political prosecutions, judicial overreach, hostility to markets, and the slow suffocation of private enterprise under the weight of public bureaucracy.
Over the past decade, Colorado’s ruling class has embraced a philosophy that echoes these themes—what academics have dubbed “Radical Markets.” Promoted by groups like RadicalxChange, the idea is that centralized systems and enforced redistribution can solve economic inequality and displace what they see as the instability of free markets.

Winston Churchill once warned that “appeasement is feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last.” When it comes to the crocodile of censorship, history is strewn with defenders who later became digestives. Censorship produces an insatiable appetite for greater and greater speech limits, and today’s censorship supporters often become tomorrow’s censored subjects.
This week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stopped feeding the crocodile.
On May 28, 2025, Rubio shocked many of our allies by issuing a new visa restriction policy that bars foreign nationals deemed “responsible for censorship of protected expression” in the U.S.

What happened in Boulder was an act of terrorism, plain and simple. The alleged actions of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, targeting Jews in what authorities have rightly identified as an ideologically motivated, antisemitic attack, must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. It was not a “disturbance,” or a “clash,” or a “misunderstanding.” It was hate. And it was violent, deliberate, and evil.
This nation was founded on the principle that people of all faiths and backgrounds can worship, gather, and speak freely without fear. That principle was shattered in Boulder, and we cannot – must not – look away.

In a swirling sea of spiritual confusion—where feelings often masquerade as faith, manmade systems can overshadow true surrender, and emotional highs might be mistaken for holiness—it’s no wonder that many sincere believers feel exposed, exhausted, and uncertain.
The enemy is crafty, and his fiery darts aren’t always the obvious attacks; frequently, they are subtle distortions aimed straight at our hearts. That’s why, as we see in Ephesians 6, Christians must don the full armor of God, and especially the centerpiece: the Breastplate of Righteousness.

More than two months into government-mandated shutdowns, Coloradans had lost patience—and begun reclaiming their fearlessness. After surrendering jobs, shuttering schools, isolating loved ones, and forfeiting springtime rites of faith and family, many started asking the obvious: What was all this really for?
Yes, people had gotten sick. Yes, some had died—mostly the elderly and already ill. But the fear campaign pushed by Gov. Jared Polis, unelected bureaucrats, and a compliant media no longer matched what Coloradans saw with their own eyes.
The warm May sun only strengthened their resolve. As COVID numbers flatlined and trust in “death counts” crumbled, clear-eyed citizens began asking hard questions—and the answers were ugly. Behind the briefings and sanitized soundbites, the state was quietly reclassifying deaths, inflating the data, and overriding doctors who dared to dissent.

First, let’s say what should be said: cancer is brutal. No matter the person or politics, a diagnosis of aggressive, metastatic prostate cancer is devastating. President Biden is a husband, a father, and a human being.
No one should go through this lightly, and anyone with a shred of decency should extend basic compassion to him and his family as they face this battle.
But that human sympathy must not excuse institutional deception.
