4 highlights from Rededicate 250: Faith leaders call America back to God

By Jon Brown | The Christian Post WASHINGTON — Several high-profile Christian speakers addressed thousands who gathered Sunday on the National Mall for Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving, an all-day prayer and worship festival ahead of the 250th anniversary of United States independence. Held to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Second Continental Congress designating "a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayers" amid the trials of the Revolutionary War, several prominent faith leaders and Trump administration officials who spoke at the event stressed the importance of returning to that same spirit of humble repentance and reliance upon the Lord. Several attendees from around the country who spoke to The Christian Pos...

Some food for thought on conservatism, common sense and political identity

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project Some food for thought... One pattern I see in math and physics is how fruitful it can be to test and inquire into basic assumptions we all have. A look at what it means to count things alongside a look at infinity leads one to the intriguing idea that there is more than one kind of infinity, for example. The Rocky Mountain Voice piece linked below was also intriguing to me, and for that same reason. I’ll leave it to you to read it, but some interesting (if not entirely new) themes are there. Is common sense common? Is a self-evident truth self-evident to us all? What does it mean to be conservative? Is that changing? I wrote in the past about being liberty minded though not a party adherent (see the sec...

Texas Children’s Hospital Settlement Signals Shift in Youth Gender Care Debate

By Joshua Arnold | The Daily Signal THE WASHINGTON STAND—The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday announced a settlement with Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) in which the hospital not only committed to never again carry out gender transition procedures on minors, but also agreed to open the nation’s first detransitioner clinic and fully fund it for five years. TCH gained notoriety in 2023 when a whistleblower provided evidence that the hospital continued to secretly administer gender transition hormones to minors, even after the Texas legislature had made it illegal. “Today’s resolution protects vulnerable children, holds providers accountable, and ensures those harmed receive the care they need,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche....

The agency did not identify the Douglas County resident nor provide a date as to when the person died. READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT DENVER7

Colorado Moves Toward Month Long Voting Under New Elections Bill

By Jesse Paul | The Colorado Sun Another provision in House Bill 1113, a major elections bill headed to Gov. Jared Polis’ desk, would let the governor declare a disaster emergency if there is a major election disruption. Election Day is about to become election month in Colorado.  A bill headed to Gov. Jared Polis’ desk would let county clerks begin mailing ballots to registered voters 29 days before Election Day, up from 22. Clerks would have to finish mailing out ballots no later than 25 days before an election, up from 18.  State Rep. Emily Sirota, a Denver Democrat and lead sponsor of House Bill 1113, said the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office and elections advocates asked for the change because they are worried about the Trump administration ...

Supreme Court Asked To Halt Boulder’s Taxpayer Funded Climate Lawfare

By Kyle Kohli | Complete Colorado In a brief filed Thursday with the U.S. Supreme Court, defendants argued the high court should end Boulder’s climate lawsuit once and for all to avoid a “chaos” of a patchwork of state court rulings governing energy policy. In February, after eight years of Boulder pursuing its taxpayer-funded climate lawsuit against Exxon and Suncor, SCOTUS agreed to review the energy companies’ petition on whether state and local governments can use tort law to regulate global greenhouse gas emissions. The Court will hear oral arguments in the case during its fall term this year. SCOTUS has the opportunity to deliver a major blow to the national climate litigation campaign and its attempt push public policy through the c...

Colorado Republicans Demand Accountability After Weld Chair’s Arrest For Child Prostitution

By Christa Swanson | CBS Colorado Two days after Weld County Republicans Chair Hunter Rivera was arrested in Northern Colorado for allegedly soliciting child prostitution, he resigned from his position.

Families Struggle as Colorado Climbs to Third Most Expensive State

By Breeanna Jent | The Denver Gazette Think of Colorado and what comes to mind? Majestic mountain views; skiing, sledding, rafting, hiking and more in the Great Outdoors; alpine forests and golden plains; ample sunshine, craft beer and breathtaking sunsets. Just to scratch the surface. But the cost of living and housing affordability in Colorado has drastically increased in recent years, gradually diminishing or even pushing these simple joys out of reach for the average person. At the end of 2025 the Colorado Scorecard, a report released by the Colorado Chamber of Commerce, found that while the state is improving or leading in key sectors such as business friendliness, health and wellness and gross domestic product, Colorado continues struggling with housi...

The meekness weapon: The hill where warriors win

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”   ~ Matthew 4:19 ~ We continue with our nursery rhyme, The Itsy Bitsy Spider – Part Two. So, become that child again and remember: The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout… Most are familiar with the rest. Christianity is more than a fleeting encounter with Jesus. It means following Him into a radically different reality that begins on a mountain. Let’s start with our spider. In our last devotion, we discussed climbing and how human nature drives us to reach upward—to grow, to overcome, to become. That small spider keeps climbing because something inside it says, “There’s more up there.” Honestly, that’s also us—we pursue power...

From a Detroit crack house to the National Mall: The pastor Colorado sees in June

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice Lorenzo Sewell sold drugs on Detroit's east side as a kid. His father went to prison for murder. His younger brother was killed by a car. Today he stands on the National Mall with House Speaker Mike Johnson and War Secretary Pete Hegseth, part of a national moment of rededication that organizers expect to draw 15,000 people. "We can be in a crack house or we can be in the White House," Sewell said on Fox & Friends Weekend Sunday morning. He says faith took him from the one toward the other. "God loves us and willing to reach out to us regardless." Next month, Colorado will meet him in person. Sewell now leads Detroit's 180 Church and is one of the faith leaders at Rededicate 250, the National Mall gathering marking the country's ap...
