A Thanksgiving Day Message

This Thanksgiving, while the political class in Colorado and D.C. pats itself on the back for another year of bloated budgets, cheap slogans, and moral cowardice, I want to take a moment to speak directly to you, the true grassroots conservatives who still hold the line when so many others have surrendered.

You are the men and women who actually make this country work. You’re not invited to the fancy donor dinners. You’re not getting glowing profiles in the Colorado rags. And we all know you won’t be receiving a thank-you card from the Colorado GOP. But you are the backbone of the conservative movement, the people who still believe Colorado and America are worth fighting for.

You are the parents and grandparents who show up at school board meetings when everyone else stays home. You are the small-business owners keeping your doors open even as politicians drown you in regulations. You are the volunteers stuffing envelopes, knocking on doors, making phone calls, and doing all the quiet, unseen work that keeps our communities upright.

And beyond anything political, you are the ones who still bow your heads before a meal and thank God for blessings that many in Colorado seem determined to ignore.

Let’s be blunt: this year hasn’t been easy. We’ve taken hits. We’ve seen so-called elected officials betray conservative values and principles they once pretended to defend. We’ve watched grassroot conservatives mocked, silenced, and labeled “extremists” simply for believing in the country our grandparents built.

But here is the miracle, you’re still here. You are still fighting. You are still standing tall while so many others have disintegrated, like the cheap TP at a Bronco game.

Thanksgiving reminds us of something the Left will never understand: gratitude is an act of rebellion. To give thanks in a culture drowning in entitlement, cynicism, and division is to declare that God is still God, truth is still truth, and America is still worth saving.

So today, I give thanks for you, the grassroots warriors, the forgotten backbone of this state and nation. You don’t have lobbyists or PR teams. What you have is grit, conviction, and a love for this country that refuses to bend the knee.

And that alone is proof that hope is not dead. It means the fight isn’t over.

It means the same spirit that built this nation, the spirit of men and women who crossed oceans, braved winters, plowed fields, raised families, and defended freedom, still lives in Colorado’s conservative grassroots.

As you gather with your families, may you be strengthened in faith, renewed in purpose, and reminded that you are not alone. You are part of a movement far bigger than any one season, any one disappointment, or any one political battle.

Thank you for all you do, the sacrifices, the courage, and the stubborn refusal to quit.



Happy Thanksgiving, Patriots. Stay strong. Stay loud. Stay grateful. The fight continues.

"I do, therefore, invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea, and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a Day of Thanksgiving and Prayer to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens."

Why Conservatives Lose School Board Seats and

How We Finally Stop Shooting Ourselves in the Foot

Let’s just come out and say it: Douglas County conservatives managed to lose a winnable school board election. Again. Not because the Left suddenly became brilliant political tacticians or discovered some secret formula for inspiring voters in Douglas County. No, they simply showed up. Meanwhile, a discouraging number of conservatives treated Election Day the way teenagers treat homework: “Yeah, yeah… maybe later.”

And so here we are, conducting yet another political autopsy (one of many), poking at the same corpse, pretending to be shocked that the cause of death was the same thing it always is: we didn’t turn out our vote.

Now, before anybody gets emotional: this isn’t about assigning personal blame or ranting for the sake of ranting. This is about diagnosing, with brutal honesty , why Douglas County conservatives keep stumbling in the exact same potholes, why our candidates keep getting steamrolled, and what has to change if we expect to win the 2026 Midterms and the next school board election in 2027.

To help understand this mess, I spoke extensively with a national election strategist (who asked not to be named), interviewed non-voters (Republican), and analyzed data from Signal Polling. They were honest, refreshing, and painfully revealing.

And the verdict?

We didn’t lose because the Left was good.

We lost because the Right was uninspired or uninformed.

Let’s walk through the anatomy of this failure, piece by piece. Scalpel please!

Anger Wins Elections, Republicans Forgot That

One of the clearest national insights from 2025 is simple enough to be printed on a bumper sticker: Anger turns out voters. Complacency keeps them home.

Democrats didn’t win because Clark Callahan, Kelly Denzler, Kyrzia Parker, Tony Ryan inspired anyone. They won because large blocs of voters were absolutely frothing with “TDS”, Trump Derangement Syndrome, angry, emotional, activated (No Kings rallies), and willing to crawl over broken glass to cast a ballot against anything they could label “MAGA-adjacent.”

Douglas County was no different.

Progressives were angry. They nationalized the race. They painted conservative candidates as mini-Trumps hiding inside a suburban school board ballot, and their base bought it. Meanwhile, conservatives… well, let’s just say many approached the election with the raw enthusiasm of someone reading the owner’s manual for a dishwasher.

Democrats weaponized emotion; Republicans mailed in logically sound but emotionally empty arguments. Guess which one motivates turnout?

The Chicken or the Egg - Unity vs Victory

One of the most paralyzing questions amongst Douglas County conservatives is this: Do we need unity to win elections… or do we need to win elections before unity is possible?

Establishment folk argue that unity is essential first. Grassroots activists argue that unity emerges only when candidates actually stand for something.

The strategist’s response was blunt:

“Unity is a luxury. Turnout is a necessity.”

Here’s the uncomfortable truth conservatives keep avoiding: “We don’t need perfect unity to win. We need conservatives to vote like conservatives, not like some soft form of a conservative.” But that requires candidates who actually stand firm on conservative values, not watered-down, consultant-approved versions designed to appeal to the mythical “centrist mom who watches MSNBC for fun.” In other words, voters will unify when they respect the candidate’s courage. They aren’t going to unify around candidates who seem hesitant to identify as the very thing they’re asking conservatives to vote for.

Slate or No Slate? The Wrong Debate

Some have argued that we lost because we ran a slate. Others argue the failure stemmed from not running candidates independently. Let’s be honest: Both arguments miss the point.

A slate only works if all candidates are strong and if it is the right race.

Independents only work if the candidate is strong and if it is the right race.

Are you sensing the theme yet?

The Left in many/most races runs slates because their candidates are groomed, trained, tested, and vetted long before they ever appear on a ballot. Conservatives, meanwhile, often scramble to recruit warm bodies a few months before petitions are due.

We had four candidates running. But in reality, we had zero candidates who had been strategically developed years in advance, the way Democrats often do with school board candidates who start on library boards, water boards, or neighborhood commissions.

Democrats build farm teams.

Republicans hope talent randomly appears.

Guess which strategy works.

Training Matters

Let’s use a metaphor here: “You don’t take a brand-new recruit, throw them into an F-16 cockpit, point at the throttle, and say, ‘Good luck up there.’”

And yet, that’s exactly how we prepare school board candidates in most cases.

Progressives spend years preparing their candidates.

We spend weeks.

Democrats train candidates for hard conversations.

We tell them, “Don’t say anything that upsets anybody.”

If that sounds like a blueprint for defeat, that’s because it is.

A political race, especially a school board race in a rapidly changing county, is complex, brutal, and strategic. Yet too many candidates walked into this fight with the equivalent of a foam sword and a cardboard shield.

Start Early or Lose Often

Ask any winning strategist in the country: You start school board campaigns by April, or earlier if possible. That means you have your candidates in the chamber, ready to go in April. Not starting in April, looking for them.

You build name recognition early.

You assemble a real campaign team early.

You dial for dollars early.

You recruit volunteers early.

And you knock every targeted door three times before the leaves fall.

Our 2025 candidates started… later than they should have.

That delay forced rushed messaging, shallow voter contact, underdeveloped ground games, and less-than-required fundraising.

Campaigns are like crops: you can’t plant in late summer and hope for a bountiful harvest in November.

Door Knocking

The Sacred Ritual We Keep Ignoring

Every data model says the same thing: Door-knocking wins elections, especially school board elections.

But here’s the kicker: not just any doors.

When you run a countywide partisan-style race, you target:

1. Republican base households for GOTV
2. Unaffiliated right-leaners for persuasion and ballot completion

But what happened this cycle?

• Many conservatives didn’t know who to vote for.
• Some didn’t know there was an election.
• And a shocking number of interviewees said they simply left the race blank after LL and MM.
• 
  

Blank ballots are not just tragic, they’re preventable.

You fix this with two things:

(1) A voter guide is sent to arrive right before ballots are mailed to all registered Republican households.

(2) Door knockers are trained to actually talk, not just hang lit-style marketing pieces to all the right-leaning Unaffiliated.

Democrats have mastered this. They use block captains speaking to their neighbors.

Republicans?

We have… hopes and prayers.

Messaging - We Played Hopscotch

While the Left Played Psychological Warfare

Republicans went into this election talking about ideology. Democrats went in talking about fear. Guess which one wins with swing parents? Parents weren’t motivated by policy white papers. They wanted to know:

• Will my kid be safe?
• Will the district stay focused on academics?
• Will taxes rise?
• Will extremist policies enter classrooms?

Republican messaging failed on all four fronts, not because our arguments were wrong, but because they never reached enough voters emotionally.

As a strategist put it: “Voters need facts delivered emotionally. Conservatives delivered emotions factually.”

Trump Derangement Syndrome

Yes, It Reached the School Board

Younger parents, especially young moms, were inundated with a narrative that voting conservative meant electing “mini-Trumps.”

That fear worked.

Democrats weaponized the Trump narrative brilliantly. Republican candidates, meanwhile, didn’t lean into Trump or define themselves relative to him, leaving the Left free to define them however they pleased. You either embrace him strategically, or you let the Left turn him into a ghost that haunts every down-ballot race.

In Douglas County, we let the ghost win.

Campaign Teams

You Get What You Pay For

This part is harsh, but necessary.

Our slate relied on:

• A campaign manager who had never managed a political campaign
• A fundraising lead with more losses than wins in school board races
• A consultant who had never managed a successful school board race

That is not a campaign team. That is a well-intentioned hobby group.

When I asked the strategist how much this mattered, there was no hesitation:

“It was the decisive failure, causing the outcome you got.”

Campaigns are not summer projects for amateurs. They are war. And in war, the side that hires the best generals and fields the best-equipped troops beats the side that hires volunteers with a dream and a laptop.

Had the conservative slate hired an experienced, professional team with a record of winning, things could have looked very different.

The Two Real Reasons We Lost

After all the analysis, all the interviews, all the data, it boils down to this:

1. We didn’t recruit and develop strong candidates early.

2. Our candidates did not surround themselves with seasoned, competent, battle-tested campaign teams.

“Failure to launch” isn’t an insult.

It’s the most accurate description available.

Where We Go From Here

Post-mortems are painful, but they’re necessary, like in any successful business after a total failure “faceplant” in their business. And this one tells us exactly what to do:

• Start recruiting great conservative candidates NOW for 2027.
• Develop candidates early and train them seriously.
• Professionalize campaigns.
• Be ready to go by April 2027.
• Door-knock like your future depends on it, because it does.
• Define progressive candidates as radical, factually, clearly, relentlessly.
• Embrace the emotional motivators that turn out conservative voters don’t shy away from them, embrace them.

And above all, candidates MUST get out of the Republican echo chamber and meet the actual people who are going to vote. Not just the faithful who attend GOP meetings, not the same ten activists everyone already knows, but real, everyday Douglas County parents who have never set foot in a party meeting yet decide every election.

If we fail to do these things (especially the last one), the next article I write in two years will be depressingly similar.

If we DO them, Douglas County can reclaim its school board, protect its classrooms, and re-energize the conservative base.

In the end, this isn’t about blame.

It isn’t about factions.

It’s about doing better next time, because our kids deserve better.



And that’s my opinion, like it or not.

The Myth of GOP Infighting: Don’t Buy It!

Oh, look at us, Colorado conservatives, licking our wounds just a day and a half after that glorious Tuesday bloodbath, in Douglas County and a few other areas. Douglas County, once a beacon of sanity in this increasingly blue madhouse of Colorado, we watched all four school board seats slip into the hands of progressive candidates who probably think "parental rights" is a punchline courtesy of a "progressive wave" that ended our longstanding majority, according to the folks at Chalkbeat and CBS Colorado. And down in Pueblo County, sure, some GOP spin doctors are trying to polish the turd — maybe they held onto the mayor's position and passed a salary bump for municipal officers — but let's not kid ourselves. Losses in key spots like the City Council races and school board contests, where conservatives like Joseph Perko fell short against Ted Hernandez in District 3, show it wasn't exactly a red-letter day, with mixed results at best. Face it, we got handed our heads in places we should've owned.

Now, here's where the real comedy starts. You've got some of the conservative crew on Facebook and beyond, wringing their hands and blaming "infighting" for our electoral face-plants. You know the type, the ones who think holding elected officials accountable is some kind of treasonous act, like we're all supposed to sit around a campfire singing Kumbaya while the left turns our state into California 2.0. "Oh no," they whine, "the disagreements are scaring off voters! We're dividing the party!" Please. If you believe that, I've got some prime real estate in the People's Republic of Boulder to sell you. Disagreeing isn't the problem; the numbers prove it. And since I'm not one to spout hot air without backing it up, let's crunch some math that even a public-school graduate can follow.

As of October 1, 2025, Colorado has approximately 936,088 registered Republicans out of over 4 million total voters, according to the Secretary of State's data. That's our base, the people who, in theory, should be showing up to keep the socialists at bay. Now, those "vocal" Facebook groups where all the supposed infighting occurs? The two largest ones combined may have about 8,000 members. Add in every other conservative echo chamber on social media across the state, and you're likely reaching no more than 15,000 people in total (many members belong to multiple groups). Doing the math: 15,000 divided by 936,088 equals a tiny 1.6%. That's it. Even if every single post about holding a squishy RINO accountable reached 100% of those group members, which never happens, thanks to Zuckerberg's algorithm gods, we're talking about less than 2% of Republican voters seeing the "drama."

But wait, it gets better (or worse, depending on your tolerance for reality). Marketing stats from the social media world, think reports from HubSpot and Hootsuite, show organic post reach in groups averages 1.5% to 3%, with a "best-case" scenario of 6% if you're lucky and the stars align. So, let's be optimistic and say our fiery debates hit that 6% jackpot: That's 900 people reached out of 15,000, or a microscopic 0.1% of all registered Republicans in Colorado. Zero. Point. One. Percent. If you think that tiny ripple in the digital pond is what's causing statewide losses, you're not just bad at math; you're living in a fantasy where likes and shares swing elections. Newsflash: Facebook is an echo chamber for the already engaged. It's us yelling at each other while the real electorate scrolls past cat videos.

No, the real culprit here is apathy, plain and simple. Look at the turnout numbers from this 2025 off-year fiasco. Statewide, we saw about 25% turnout by Election Day morning, with over a million ballots returned in a state of 4 million registered voters, according to the Colorado Newsline. By the end, it rebounded a bit, but off-year elections like this typically hover around 30-40%—a far cry from the 73% we hit in the 2024 presidential race, per Ballotpedia. In Douglas County, a supposed GOP stronghold, total ballots cast came in at 128,697. Assuming around 260,000 registered voters there (based on population proportions and state data), that's roughly 50% turnout—decent for an odd year, but not enough when the left's base is fired up over their pet issues like "DEI and Unions" in schools. And in Pueblo, it was even more pathetic: 34,416 ballots out of 116,097 registered, a dismal 29.64% turnout, as the county's own election summary spells out. Republicans make up about 23% of the state's voters, but if more than half of them are too depressed or disillusioned to mail in a ballot, we lose every time.

Why the apathy? Take your pick from the conservative nightmare Colorado's become. Election integrity woes, mail-in voting that makes people think their vote's like a Toyota Prius in a 6-inch snowstorm. Or how about the state's slide into progressive paradise: Legal weed everywhere, abortion rights enshrined like holy writ, gun control creeping in, and taxes that steal most of your income each month. People see the Dems running the show in Denver, with Governor Polis playing king, and they figure, "What's the point?" It's not infighting that's demotivating them; it's the feeling that the game's rigged, the economy's tanking, and their kids' schools are indoctrination camps. Douglas County used to be our firewall, affluent, family-oriented, the kind of place where Trump Republicans thrive. But when unaffiliated voters (now a majority statewide at over 49%, per SOS data) swing left because we're not motivating our own, we get schooled, literally.

So, how do we fix this? Stop whining about "unity" and start doing the hard work. The Douglas County GOP has some solid district captains and PCP’s who knock doors, but we need more of that in Douglas County and statewide. Door-knocking with actual conversations, not just lit drops, is the gold standard, boosting turnout by 10-15% according to studies from Yale's Institution for Social and Policy Studies. Forget chasing unaffiliateds like they're the holy grail; the odds there are 50/50 at best. Fish where the fish are: Target registered Republicans exclusively. Get our turnout from that anemic 30-50% up to presidential levels, and we reclaim counties like Douglas.

Anyone still blaming infighting needs to log off Facebook, pick up a calculator, and join the real fight. We've got a First Amendment for a reason, use it to hold the squishes accountable, sure, but channel that energy into dragging our apathetic brethren off the couch. Otherwise, enjoy watching Colorado turn into one big Boulder. And if you still think infighting is the issue, well, bless your heart.

Sheri Davis: The Gold Standard as

County Clerk and Recorder?

Let’s stop pretending. Let’s stop tiptoeing. And let’s call this exactly what it is: a full-blown identity crisis from Douglas County Clerk Sheri Davis, who apparently can’t decide whether she represents one of the most conservative counties in Colorado… or whether she’s auditioning for a seat at Jena Griswold’s 2026 election cocktail party.

Because the facts are no longer subtle, they’re louder than a fire alarm in a dynamite factory.

Sheri Davis’ name is splashed across the Colorado County Clerks Association letterhead, the same CCCA that has attacked Tina Peters at every turn, the same CCCA that calls anyone questioning Colorado’s magical, flawless, unicorn-approved election system a “threat,” and the same CCCA now begging Gov. Jared Polis to block Tina Peters from being transferred to federal custody (Click Here to see the Letter) Yes, you read that correctly.

Our Republican county clerk is lending her credibility, and our county’s credibility, to a letter that perfectly aligns with the Left’s narrative. It’s basically a love letter to Polis wrapped in bureaucratic language. But the real kicker? Sheri Davis didn’t just sign her name. She’s listed as the Central Region Chair of the organization pushing this message.

Now let’s pair that with other recent behavior.

This is the same clerk who ran for the hills when she learned Mark Cook and Shawn Smith would be speaking at Parker Conservatives the same night as her. She didn’t reschedule. She didn’t send a deputy. She didn’t show up to defend her “gold standard” talking points. She bolted. Fast enough to qualify for Olympic trials.

This is also the same clerk who happily joined the first condemnation letter against Tina Peters in early 2024 (Click Here to see the Letter). Pattern? Yes. Accident? No.

So, here’s the harsh question: Does Sheri Davis support absolute election integrity and support Tina Peters?

Douglas County voters deserve someone who doesn’t melt on contact with conservatives who know the election system inside and out. Someone who doesn’t hide behind “my hands are tied” excuses while leading her name and position to CCCA talking points. Someone who doesn’t treat election integrity like an inconvenience. 2026 is coming.

And the question is no longer polite, no longer theoretical, no longer ignorable: Do we want a clerk who stands with Douglas County citizens who demand fair and transparent elections?

Or a clerk who stands with the CCCA, Jena Griswold, and the same leftist machine that has spent years undermining the people Sheri Davis is supposed to represent?

Douglas County - the choice is yours in 2026.

Hijabs on the Podium, Christians in the Basement

Patriots, strap in, because once again Colorado’s political class has proven that when it comes to religious expression, some faiths are more equal than others. The Colorado Senate rolled out Senate Resolution 25-004, a glowing commemoration of World Hijab Day. And right on cue, we’re all supposed to clap politely, nod reverently, and pretend this has nothing to do with politics. And of course, the moment anyone raises an eyebrow, the “Islamophobic” label is loaded into the chamber and fired without a second thought.

Except here’s the problem: None of this is about Islam. It’s about hypocrisy.

For decades, Christians have been told that the Colorado Capitol is a “neutral space.” No Bible verses. No public Ten Commandments. No nativity displays. No Scripture in hearing rooms. No visible faith expression that might offend the professional outrage class. But suddenly, magically, this “neutral space” becomes a sanctuary of spiritual celebration when the faith being celebrated isn’t Christianity.

So, let’s spell this out. Women who wear the hijab? They wear it every day. It’s a daily and public expression of their faith. Nobody has a problem with that. But Christians expressing their daily faith publicly inside the Capitol? Nope. That’s been labeled inappropriate, controversial, exclusionary, or the new favorite, dangerous. Yet here we are, our elected officials passing a state resolution encouraging citizens to experiment with another religion’s symbols “for the sake of tolerance.”

Notice what’s missing? A resolution honoring Christianity, the actual faith that built the moral, cultural, and legal foundation of this nation. The faith practiced by the overwhelming majority of Colorado. The faith referenced in the documents that created this country.

But Christians? No celebration for them, only restrictions. Colorado Democrats bend over backwards to showcase their religious sensitivity to every group except the one whose holidays they actually get off from work. Imagine a Republican senator proposing World Cross Day, encouraging people to wear a cross to show support for Christianity, religious tolerance, and the rich history of Western civilization. The Gold Dome and the media would spontaneously combust. The ACLU would have a field day.

But World Hijab Day? Silence. Applause. A photo op. And every elected official lines up to kiss the ring of “inclusivity.” Colorado plays this game where Christianity is treated like second-hand smoke, something that must be contained, restricted, and kept away from the public for their own protection. Meanwhile, the Capitol eagerly celebrates a religious garment tied to a faith the Left believes is politically useful.

This isn’t about fairness. This isn’t about tolerance. This is about which religions are culturally fashionable and which one the political class is comfortable vilifying.

Maybe it’s time to pass a resolution recognizing Christianity. Recognizing the faith that shaped America. Recognizing the faith that teaches forgiveness, personal responsibility, and moral clarity. If the Capitol can celebrate the practices of Islam, then surely it can acknowledge the faith that built the civilization they’re standing in. But I won’t hold my breath.

Because in Colorado politics, we’ve reached the point where the only religion not welcome in the public square… is the one that made the public square possible.

WHEREAS, World Hijab Day encourages women of different cultures who do not normally wear the hijab to experience wearing one for the day, and its purpose is to encourage religious tolerance, cultural understanding, and international solidarity; and

WHEREAS, Since its inception, women from all over the world have participated in World Hijab Day, and to combat prejudice, leaders in the American Muslim community are working tirelessly to show that wearing the hijab is a choice, a freedom, and a blessing; and

WHEREAS, Wearing the hijab educates our fellow citizens about Islam in ways that are relevant and meaningful; and

WHEREAS, The Colorado Senate honors the important events that remind us of the rich and diverse heritage of our great state and celebrates America's greatest strength of embracing our different faiths and allowing our members to express themselves freely while encouraging greater religious tolerance and understanding in our communities; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the Senate of the Seventy-fifth General Assembly of the State of Colorado:

💀 “The Lora Thomas Kiss-of-Death Endorsement” 💀

Well, folks, buckle up, because the 2026 Douglas County Commissioner race just got interesting. Parker Town Councilman John Diak has entered the Thunderdome.

Now look, John is a good person. I’ve met him. But when it comes to a conservative spine? Let’s just say the Parker Town Council has produced more rubber-stamped votes than approving SNAP recipients in Minneapolis. And John? He’s right there in formation with the rest of the flock, marching behind Mayor Josh Rivero like it’s a municipal conga line.

But all of that… ALL OF IT… pales in comparison to the real news:

Lora Thomas has endorsed him in her recent newsletter

Yes. That Lora Thomas. The political equivalent of a flashing warning light on your dashboard that says, “Stop the car immediately before something explodes.” It’s the political version of being handed a rose from the Grim Reaper for any true Republican conservative candidate in Douglas County.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, the Facebook brain trusts over at “Douglas County Watch and Living in Parker” are cheering for him, too. If you ever needed a neon sign that says, “This candidate is not your conservative savior,” well… there it is, glowing bright as the star on top of Castle Rock.

So, as we head toward 2026, remember: We’re fighting to keep Douglas County red, not whatever shade of purple you get when you mix Republican Uni-Party establishment supporters and Democrat Parker-style groupthink.



John, buddy… with endorsements like these, you might want to grab a blue jersey and call it a day.

Donald J Trump Fighting for the American People

I want to share an important message that cuts straight to the heart of what we’ve all been fighting for: a government that actually remembers who it works for. Recently, an article highlighted something that should surprise no one in this movement: “President Donald J. Trump has remained laser-focused on delivering for the forgotten men and women of this country”.

While Washington’s permanent class continues its usual routines, endless panels, and hollow rhetoric, President Trump has been doing the unthinkable, putting Americans first. His actions aren’t symbolic. They’re measurable, tangible, and already reshaping the landscape that the political elite on both sides of the aisle has neglected for years.

Here are just a few of the recent results:

• A 17% drop in new foreign student enrollments at U.S. universities, finally ensuring American students don’t have to compete with the rest of the globe for seats at their own institutions.
• A dramatic decline in immigrant student enrollment in public schools, bringing relief to overcrowded classrooms and restoring resources to American families.
• A historic reduction of over 2.2 million foreign-born immigrants since January 2025, the largest single-year decline ever recorded.

These are the results of Presidential leadership that takes borders, sovereignty, and national security seriously.

Unfortunately, while President Trump is restoring sanity at the national level, some leaders here in Colorado seem determined to pull in the opposite direction. Congressman Gabe Evans of Colorado’s 8th Congressional District has chosen this moment, of all moments, to support amnesty through the so-called Dignity Act. Let’s be clear: amnesty is not reform. It’s surrender. And it stands in direct conflict with the America-First agenda and the will of the voters who have demanded stronger borders, not weaker ones. At a time when Trump is closing the back door, Rep. Evans is volunteering to hold it open. This move will most likely cost him his seat in 2026.

And this is exactly why staying the course on Trump’s immigration agenda is critical, because meaningful enforcement requires more than speeches; it requires laws with teeth. One of the strongest examples is S.1151 – The Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act, legislation designed to mandate nationwide E-Verify, hold employers accountable, and cut off the jobs magnet that fuels illegal immigration in the first place. This is the kind of policy that actually works: it protects American workers, ensures that the labor market rewards citizens and legal residents, and removes the incentive for corporations to undercut wages by hiring illegal labor. It’s a perfect complement to Trump’s broader immigration crackdown, proof that when leaders have courage, we can secure the border not just physically, but economically. This is the direction the country needs to go, not toward the amnesty-driven chaos being pushed by politicians like Gabe Evans.

As grassroots conservatives, we know what is at stake. We know who has our back, and who doesn’t. President Trump’s continued commitment to the forgotten men and women of this nation is not just inspiring. It’s a reminder that when leadership is bold and unapologetic, America wins. The results are already visible, and the path forward, strong borders, mandatory E-Verify, and zero tolerance for amnesty, is clearer than ever.

I am very excited to announce the full launch of

“We the People Network”!

www.wtpnetwork.net

Quality Grassroots Conservative News and Opinion:

Where you want it, when you want it.

What is "We The People Network" all about? This is where the Real Grassroots Conservative Patriots roast Libtards and RINO’s!

Hey there, freedom lovers and truth seekers! You've stumbled upon "We the People Network," the digital campfire around which the true grassroots conservatives of Parker, Douglas County, Colorado, and our great Nation gather to warm their hands to the flames of liberty.

Are you tired of the same old song and dance from the UniParty and establishment media, where the story never changes, and the tune is always "more of the same"? Well, pull up your folding chair because we're here to change that up with some good old-fashioned grassroots conservative passion!

Here at "We the People Network," we're not just conservative, we're grassroots conservatively “conservative.” We believe in calling out the Left and just as much the UniParty, Establishment Republicans, and those pesky RINO’s faster than you can say "taxation is theft."

What's on the menu, you ask? A hearty helping of news, opinion, and a side of sarcasm, all served fresh. We're serving up stories that the mainstream media wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole unless, of course, they could use it to prop up their narratives.

Our mission? To embolden you, the backbone of America, with the truth bombs that'll make you the most interesting person at any gathering or, more importantly, at the voting booth. We're here also to support those brave souls running for Republican office who actually remember what the Constitution looks like.

Think of us as your one-stop shop for:

• News: The kind that doesn't make you feel like you're being sold swampland in Washington, DC.
• Opinion: Rants with the sharpness of a skilled surgeon.
• Activism: Because shouting at your TV only does so much.

Think of us like Turning Point’s rowdy older uncle, who shows up to the family reunion in his pick-up, 12 pack under his arm, a cigar, holding a megaphone. We're here to amplify the grassroots conservative voice, ensuring that "We the People" isn't just a catchy preamble but a living, breathing movement.

So, if you're ready to join the ranks of the informed, the irked, and the outright indignant, welcome aboard. Let's expose some Leftist Progressives, UniParty, Establishment Republicans, RINOs, and those new Trans-Republicans, and support our fellow patriots, and maybe, just maybe, save the republic one click at a time.



 "Everybody has an opportunity in America. I don’t care if guys whine and complain about this or that. You know, no country affords its inhabitants the opportunities

that the U.S.A. gives to its people.”

So, a question you might have is, “Why Honey Badger”?



Honey Badgers have been described in the Guinness Book of Records as the "most fearless animal in the world" and can even fight off much larger predators like lions and hyenas if challenged. We know the political landscape is filled with hyenas, thus, we need the Honey Badger.

"You may think that I'm a confrontational jerk, and you may be right. But the confrontational jerk community serves an important purpose. No cultural battle can be won or has ever been won anywhere in the world without us.

You need us, whether you like it or not."
