Eric Phelan needs to un-suspend his campaign.
To everyone who supported this campaign—thank you.
Over the course of this race, I had the privilege of traveling across Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, meeting with voters, delegates, local leaders, and families from every corner of our communities. I had conversations in living rooms, at county events, over the phone, and in places where people simply wanted to be heard. Those conversations meant more to me than any single result ever could.
This campaign was built on a simple idea: that leadership should be grounded in accountability, practical solutions, and respect for the people it serves. Together, we carried that message across counties, across communities, and into rooms where those ideas needed to be heard.
I am deeply grateful for the endorsements, the encouragement, and the trust so many of you placed in me. Whether you hosted events, made calls, shared the message, or simply offered your support, you were a critical part of this effort. Campaigns are never about one person—they are about the people who believe in something enough to stand behind it.
While this was not the outcome we hoped for, I am proud of the campaign we ran. We stayed focused on solutions, we treated people with respect, and we showed that there is a strong desire for thoughtful, disciplined leadership in our district.
I want to be clear about one thing: I still stand firmly behind every message this campaign was built on—accountability, fiscal discipline, term limits, and restoring professionalism to public office. Those principles do not end with an election. I encourage everyone to continue advocating for them and to hold our elected leaders accountable to follow through on the commitments they make.
Most importantly, I want to thank those who took the time to engage—whether you agreed with me or not. A functioning republic depends on participation, and your involvement matters.
This is not the end of the work that needs to be done. The conversations we started, the ideas we shared, and the relationships we built will continue to matter moving forward.
From the bottom of my heart—thank you for the opportunity, the support, and the trust.
— Eric Phelan

By popular demand I have moved this post to my page directly: The real spin machine would say this: "Democrats celebrate a nearly flawless session in the Colorado House of limiting citizen rights, expanding the average debt of its citizenry, limiting growth and expansion of small businesses, and forever solidifying the gap between the wealthy and poor of the State by making it impossible to survive without government assistance, further expanding their control in the State. Their choice of celebration is the Cupid Shuffle, further explifying their elitist, out of touch nonchalance of how much they screwed the people of Colorado this session."
The Republican Response should be: "this is disgraceful and malicious. In line with spitting in the faces of constituents and demanding more money from them at the same time. If anyone in this State feels that they have no choice but to leave because it is unaffordable, crushing them under its heel, or ultimately going after them for even exercising the most basic rights to Liberty, Freedom, and the Pursuit of Happiness, they are not alone. They must also remember that Colorado has had a Democrat Governor for 19 years and 4 months, a Democrat controlled house for 17 of those 19 years, and a Democrat controlled Senate for 15 of those 19 years. An entire generation of control and we have systematically seen the downfall of this State.
For a party supposedly dedicated to making things more affordable, it doesn't look good when 12 of those 19 years Colorado outpaced the CPI of the United States, tied 5 years, and went down 2. And before they blame the national Republican party, they need to remember that of those 19 years and 4 months, Republicans held the oval office for only 5 years and 4 months. If you think Democrats have the best interest of the people in Colorado at heart, either you are delusional or haven't been paying attention.
To quote the God of the Democrats: 'We need change. Change we can believe in.' The Democrats most certainly have failed to fit that build. Give the Republicans a shot again and see if things get a little bit better for you.
Or better yet, vote in general fiscal conservatives or general constitutionalists.
They want to preserve your rights AND make things affordable. Anything else than a Democrat please. We need prosperity again!"

The Charter School Principal Turning Children Toward Plato, Virtue, and the Eternal | Caylan Ford
“People have lost sight of what education is supposed to be,” says Caylan Ford. In 2022, she founded Canada's first tuition-free classical charter school, the Calgary Classical Academy, with little more than a dozen faculty.
Since then it has grown to 1,500 students across three campuses in Calgary and Edmonton, with thousands more on the waitlist, and has changed its name to Alberta Classical Academy.
For Ford, classical education is all about, as she put it, “turning around the soul so that it's oriented toward things that are actually eternally true and good and enduring.”
Canadian parents crave the classical education Alberta Classical Academy provides: “A lot of the parents who come to us are absolutely desperate. … The existence of this school is like an answered prayer,” Ford says.
Surprisingly, Alberta is the only province in Canada that allows charter schools. Just as in America, Alberta’s charter schools are public schools that do not charge tuition. They are statutorily barred from having a religious affiliation.
Students study Latin beginning in Grade 5, with additional language options like French in high school. Much emphasis is given to the coherent study of history: “Our students read a lot of primary source material, they're not judging the past through current prejudices. They're trying to understand it on its own terms,” Ford says.
The school also has a rich world literature curriculum where students memorize a lot, for example poetry: “We do a lot of memorization work, partly because we want to help them furnish beautiful inner worlds. We want their minds and their souls to be places into which they can retire and find themselves refreshed and renewed,” Ford says.

Trump Walked Into China and Killed Kissinger's Thucydides Trap
Susan Kokinda analyzes President Trump’s May 14 post responding to Xi Jinping’s remarks about the “Thucydides Trap,” arguing media coverage framed the U.S. as declining while Trump asserted America’s renewed strength. She says the summit’s real significance was Trump bringing an unprecedented delegation of top U.S. CEOs into the bilateral meeting and including the Defense Secretary, breaking a post-1972 pattern. Kokinda highlights Trump raising denuclearization directly with Xi and rejecting war-driven “geopolitical trigger points,” including on Taiwan, emphasizing avoiding a distant war. She contends the Thucydides Trap concept popularized by Graham Allison is British-influenced “fake history” that obscures imperial manipulation, and claims Trump is dismantling that paradigm by reviving the American System—tariffs, manufacturing, and energy independence.

EPA Announces Massive Deregulatory Action to Make Vehicles More Affordable
The decision comes as auto companies have lost billions of dollars investing in manufacturing EVs, the agency said.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a deregulatory action to delay compliance deadlines for Biden-era emission standards, in a bid to make vehicles more affordable for Americans while ensuring greater consumer choice, the agency said in a May 14 statement.
In March 2024, the Biden-administered EPA issued new rules regarding tailpipe emissions applicable to light-duty and medium-duty vehicles for model years 2027 and beyond. The regulations sought to “significantly reduce” greenhouse gas emissions, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and hydrocarbons from new light trucks, passenger cars, and larger pickups and vans.
The changes were projected to help tackle what the Biden-era EPA called “climate crisis” and reduce air pollution after the agency set limits on gas emissions. For instance, in passenger cars, the greenhouse gas emission limit was set at 139 grams of carbon dioxide per mile, which should reduce to 73 grams by 2032.
These regulations were expected to bring down carbon dioxide emissions by 7.2 billion tons through 2055, with the EPA saying there would be almost $100 billion in annual net benefits to American citizens, including $62 billion in lower fuel costs and maintenance costs, and $13 billion in public health benefits due to better air quality.
At the time, the EPA said that the emission standards were expected to “accelerate the transition to clean vehicle technologies.”
Between model years 2030–2032, around 30–56 percent of new light-duty vehicles and roughly 20–32 percent of new medium-duty vehicles were projected to be battery-electric vehicles, the document said.
In its May 14 statement, EPA said it was proposing to delay the compliance deadlines for these standards by two more years, until the beginning of model year (MY) 2029, sinceU.S. citizens have “overwhelmingly rejected” electric vehicles.Moreover, auto manufacturers have lost billions of dollars investing in the production of these vehicles, the agency stated.
The emission standards were “based on faulty assumptions by the Biden Administration that EVs would make up a significant percentage of MY 2027 and beyond fleets, causing the administration to set unrealistic emission standards for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles,” the EPA said.
If the proposal is finalized, it would allow auto companies to continue complying with current standards that “deliver substantial emissions reductions of up to 80 percent, for MY 2027 and MY 2028 vehicles,” according to the agency.
This would allow manufacturers to phase in the new emission standards starting with MY 2029 vehicles, “that better fit consumer demand for fewer EVs.”
The EPA said its proposal is estimated to save $1.7 billion, providing American families with hundreds of dollars in savings per vehicle.
“Freedom is the foundation of this nation, and this includes the freedom to choose the car you drive. The American people have been very clear; they do not want EVs forced upon them,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said.
“This proposal aims to return EPA regulations to reality, restoring consumer choice, protecting good-paying American jobs, and strengthening the nation’s global competitiveness” while the agency works to reconsider the emission standards, he said. …

Ending EV Investments
In a May 15 statement, consumer advocacy organization Public Citizen criticized the EPA decision, saying that the agency’s proposal will allow automakers to sell polluting cars.
“The decision will not just cost lives; it will cost working-class people more money in medical bills, more missed days of work, and more years chained to volatile gas prices,” said Deanna Noel, deputy director with the organization’s Climate Program.
“Working families are already stretched thin. Everything from groceries to home insurance to gas is getting more expensive, with no end in sight. Delaying commonsense emissions standards will only make communities sicker and send costs higher.”
In its recent statement, the EPA said that major auto manufacturers were already cutting down their electric vehicle fleets and related developments.
For instance, in January, General Motors announced a $6 billion write-down on its electric line. The company also canceled contracts with EV battery suppliers. Stellantis said it would cut its entire plug-in EV lineup for this year.
In December, Ford announced the cancellation of its flagship electric truck, the F-150 Lightning, after losing around $13 billion on its electric vehicle line since 2023.
The corporate decisions were taken after President Donald Trump ended a $7,500 tax credit for the purchase of electric vehicles in September, which had affected sales of these vehicles.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, which immediately followed the end of the tax credit, EVs made up only 5.8 percent of new cars sold in the United States, down from 10.5 percent in the third quarter, according to data from vehicle valuation company Kelley Blue Book.

Trump savages Lauren Boebert with vicious new nickname as he signals endorsement of primary challenger in huge MAGA rift
Donald Trump appeared to detonate a fresh MAGA civil war on Saturday night by publicly humiliating Lauren Boebert with a brutal new nickname and openly threatening to rip away his endorsement if a stronger challenger steps forward.
In a scorching Truth Social tirade, the president mocked the firebrand Colorado congresswoman as 'Weak Minded Lauren Boebert' while accusing her of betraying the MAGA movement by campaigning alongside one of Trump's most bitter Republican enemies, Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie.
The extraordinary public rebuke marked one of the sharpest attacks Trump has launched against Boebert who was once considered among his fiercest congressional allies.
The rant also signaled a dramatic escalation in the widening Republican feud surrounding Massie's political future.
'Is anyone interested in running against Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado's Fourth Congressional District?' Trump wrote in the blistering post.
The president then dredged up Boebert's controversial district switch, mocking her move from Colorado's 3rd Congressional District to the safer Republican-leaning 4th District after narrowly surviving reelection in 2022.
'You remember Lauren moved to the District when it became obvious that she couldn't win in her original Congressional District (The Third!) - A Carpetbagger, indeed!' Trump wrote.
But the real fury appeared centered on Boebert's decision to campaign for Massie, the libertarian-minded Kentucky Republican who has become one of Trump's top political targets heading into next week's Republican primary.
Trump accused Massie of undermining Republican priorities and painted Boebert's support for him as political treason.
'Boebert is campaigning for the Worst 'Republican' Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky,' Trump raged, 'and anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good Primary fight!'
Then came Trumps political threat that sent shockwaves through MAGA world.
'Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my Honor to withdraw that Endorsement, and endorse a good and proper alternative,' Trump warned.
'Just let me know, or announce your Candidacy, and I will be there for you!' …
