Once again, this was how the Economist characterized the American economy on Election Day in 2024. We had a country on the brink of stunning success, but the Republicans knee-capped it with trade wars and real wars of their own choosing.

In Colorado Springs, we know to follow the money. Anschutz and Common Sense Institute are misleading readers by not disclosing. This leaves us with no choice but to distrust the Gazette and ensure we VOTE AGAINST the multiple CSI funded ballot issues. Use your vote & bust billionaire greed.

Satan's greatest success was convincing people he didn't exist. Trump/GOP's most impressive accomplishment has been persuading the elite media that their corruption, violence, and race hatred is uninteresting, and thus ingnorable.

In short, there are valuable lessons we can learn about drones & interceptors & magazine depth & mine-sweepers, etc. But the key lesson is: no amount of tactical excellence can salvage strategic incompetence. Who lost the Iran War? The American voter did, that damn fool. And he ought to feel it.

The authors of the Reconstruction Amendments did not trust the Supreme Court to ensure that Black Americans would be able to participate fully in the political life of the nation. That is why the amendments expressly gave Congress the power to enforce their provisions through additional legislation.

Every argument that high tax rates kill growth has to explain why the highest-growth decades in American history coincided with the highest rates. The 70% rate in 1976 funded the infrastructure the current economy still runs on: highways, universities, research labs, public health.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
