Why the United States must win the Iran war | Mike Rosen
Obviously, the outcome of the war with Iran remains to be seen. The best outcome is a US military victory followed by regime change freeing Iranians from the tyranny of their government. With that may come a more peaceful and stable Middle East removing the existential danger of nuclear weapons in the hands of religious fanatics who have plagued the region for the last 47 years. In 1979, a revolution deposed an oppressive unpopular monarch, the Shah of Iran who, at least, was a pro-western modernist. It brought Ayatollah Khomeini to absolute power as Iran’s Supreme Leader.

Democrat scheme violates TABOR and Constitution | Mike Rosen
The governor and progressive Democrats that dominate the state legislature and every statewide office in Colorado have been masterful ― if not ethical and honest ― in devising devious schemes to circumvent the TABOR amendment in the Colorado Constitution. That’s the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, passed by a 1992 voter-initiated ballot measure that bypassed the legislature. It limited government spending and barred the legislature from increasing taxes or imposing new ones without the consent of the voters. Democrats have always despised TABOR. Their favorite ploys have included misrepresenting taxes as “fees” and funding…

The U.S. will survive the demise of the penny | Mike Rosen
It’s worrisome enough that we have to live with the ever-present threat of nuclear war hanging over our head, the fiery extermination of humanity from global warming, a worldwide depression triggered by the U.S. defaulting on its $39 trillion national debt on its way to $50 trillion, to say nothing of an uptick in falls…

The torture of Denver motorists is intentional | Mike Rosen
Bicycle lanes in Denver are much more than just a nuisance for motorists; they’re a small but glaring symptom of the radical progressive mentality of Democrats that have grossly mismanaged Denver government in recent years.

It’s time to restore the military-industrial complex
Historian Will Durant observed that peace is an unstable equilibrium which can be preserved only by acknowledged supremacy or equal power. War is a constant of human history and human nature and always will be. That’s not cynicism or defeatism, it’s practicality. If you believe otherwise you needn’t read any further, we have an irreconcilable…

“60 Minutes”: A study in journalistic bias
A tautology is a needless repetition of an idea using different wording. For example: “Sooner or later the inevitable is bound to happen.” In this case, Bari Weiss is under fire from the stable of leftist so-called journalists at CBS’s “60 Minutes” program. The rebellion is over a story (in fact, a hit piece), recently…

Dems shed crocodile tears for narco-terrorists | Mike Rosen
President Trump has taken the war on drugs to narco-terrorists with attacks on high-speed drug boats in the Caribbean ferrying drugs to ultimate destinations in the U.S. Feckless Democrats and their media allies have responded with a counterattack ― against Trump! The first salvo was a contrived video just before Thanksgiving by six congressional Democrats flaunting their…

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…
