This is the Democrat candidate running in the #1 agricultural county in Colorado. Weld County also often ranks in the top 10 in the US by the value of products sold. Manny Rutinel is against the very industry driving one of the counties he wants to represent.

Weld County better show up and show out in November and vote for @repgabeevans.

@KyleClark Mr. Lopez should kindly withdraw.

@pweiser You are the only threat! It’s time for common sense conservative change!

THANK YOU, COLORADO. Because of you, your time, your door knocking, your phone calls, and your belief in something bigger than politics, we just won the Republican nomination for Governor.

This victory belongs to every volunteer and supporter who refused to give up on our state. I am grateful beyond words.

Now the real work begins. 

Colorado families are facing real challenges. High costs. Unaffordable housing and healthcare. Fears about unsafe neighborhoods and schools. 

Let’s face it, Colorado has changed, and not for the better.

But there is hope. We can unite and build a better, stronger Colorado for all of us. 

This isn’t about a single political party. It’s about a single, unified Colorado!

The general election starts now. Let’s go win it together.

Think about this Colorado.

[Gabe Evans @GabeforColorado]

A decade ago, Denver had 35% of its commercial real estate occupied by energy companies.

Today that number is 7%.

But it doesn’t stop there…

The Wall Street Journal just published a story saying downtown Denver is the most vacant of any major city in the U.S.

So why is that?

Look no further than the far-left socialist agenda that Denver Democrats have used to chase out energy production, small businesses, big corporations, and hardworking families alike.

Their statewide policies have already ruined Colorado, just imagine how much worse it will be if they get elected and sent to Washington.

Happy Independence Day! I’m thankful to God and the men and women who have kept this dream alive for 250 years. May we do the same for the coming generations.

[Greg Laurie @greglaurie]

Happy 250th birthday, America! 🇺🇸 What a monumental day in our nation's history.
We just produced this video honoring our nation and thanking God for the United States:

America is more than a nation. It is an idea. A dream — planted in the hearts of our founding fathers by God Himself. A dream that ordinary men and women could be truly free. Not because a king permitted it. Not because a government granted it. But because God Himself declared it.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

In September of 1814, America was once again in trouble.

The young republic was only thirty-eight years old. The War of 1812 had gone badly. British troops had marched into Washington, burned the Capitol, set the White House ablaze, and now turned their sights toward Baltimore. If Fort McHenry fell, the harbor would be open, the city would likely follow, and another devastating blow would be dealt to the fragile nation.

Amid this uncertainty, a young American lawyer named Francis Scott Key sailed under a flag of truce to the British fleet. He had come to negotiate the release of a friend, a physician the British had captured.

He succeeded.

The British agreed to free the doctor.

But there was a catch.

Because Key and his companions had seen too much of the British fleet and learned too much about its plans, they were not allowed to return to shore. Instead, they were detained aboard a ship in the harbor and forced to watch the coming battle from behind enemy lines.

On the morning of September 13, the bombardment began.

For the next twenty-five hours, British warships unleashed somewhere between 1,500 and 1,800 bombs and rockets upon Fort McHenry. These were the “bombs bursting in air” and the “rockets’ red glare” of the song—not poetic embellishments, but terrible realities.

Key stood on the deck through the endless day and the long, terrifying night. Every explosion lit the darkness for a fleeting instant before the smoke swallowed everything again. Somewhere beyond that wall of fire stood the fort. Somewhere beyond it flew an American flag if it still flew at all.

He could not see.

He could only listen.

As long as the guns continued firing, there was reason to hope. The British would not waste ammunition on a fort that had already surrendered.

Then, just before dawn…

The guns fell silent.

For the first time all night, there was only stillness.

It was the most frightening sound of all.

Had the fort finally fallen? Had the defenders surrendered? Had the flag been torn down in the darkness while no one could see?

There was nothing to do but wait.

As the first light of September 14 slowly pushed back the smoke, Francis Scott Key strained his eyes toward the distant fort.

Then he saw it. Not a British flag.

The American flag. Still there. Still flying.

That flag was no ordinary banner. Months earlier, the fort’s commander had commissioned a Baltimore flagmaker, Mary Pickersgill, to sew a flag so enormous “that the British would have no difficulty seeing it from a distance.” It measured roughly thirty by forty-two feet, carried fifteen stars and fifteen stripes, and was so large it had to be assembled on the floor of a brewery because no ordinary room could contain it.

That was the Star-Spangled Banner.

The very flag Key saw through the morning mist.

The very flag that still survives today in the Smithsonian.

Overcome by what he had witnessed, Key reached into his pocket, pulled out an envelope, and began writing. The words came from a heart that had spent an entire night fearing his country might disappear with the dawn.

He first titled the poem Defence of Fort M’Henry.

Within days it was printed and circulating throughout the country. Before long, people began singing it to a melody they already knew—an old British tune called “To Anacreon in Heaven,” originally written for a London social club. There is something beautifully ironic in that: America’s most beloved patriotic song borrowed the melody of the very nation it had just survived. It also explains why the anthem is so notoriously difficult to sing. It was never written for ordinary voices gathered in stadiums or school assemblies.

The song spread quickly and became one of America’s favorite patriotic hymns, but it would wait more than a century before receiving official recognition. Not until 1931 did Congress declare “The Star-Spangled Banner” the national anthem of the United States.

@LisaintheMtns @thetrguy @ScottBottomsCO Neither is better? Thats illogical. Marx is significantly better. Calling someone a psycho is a weak take. Have you met him? He is not a politician, not an insider, but his ideas and team are significantly better than Weiser.

[Weston Kurz @FirstBanker]

@kojatowski @heidiganahl @FSociety_1942 Why would you do that? Thats called giving up. Vote for the most conservative person on the ballot. 85% is better than zero.

[Weston Kurz @FirstBanker]

@Erin4Parents 💯 This is exactly where I sent my money and I pray others do the same!

[Weston Kurz @FirstBanker]

@BreakTheChainsM @ScottBottomsCO @LopezforCO And what is your plan after that? It’s cool to speak nonsense with no plan. The Republican Party is a disaster, but the alternative is worse. Build it back with qualified people that genuinely care about conservative principles and the people.

@flatironschurch To sit and slow down is a counter culture skill especially within the Christian community. A weekly sabbath is a cure for this.

[Weston Kurz @FirstBanker]

@KurtSupeCPA Exactly! You can retire from the W-2, but you never need to retire from serving others.

[Weston Kurz @FirstBanker]

@KurtSupeCPA I’ve been following you for a bit and you have sold me on this idea. 59 1/2 is my new target to be able to “retire” financially. However, I don’t believe retirement is biblical so I will continue to work until my mind or body won’t allow, just at a different pace.
