    Joe Biden got nasty at times in a “tense” Zoom meeting with dozens of moderate Democratic lawmakers who called his viability on the presidential ticket into question on Saturday. Among them was Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), a former Army Ranger who served three tours in the Middle East, who found himself on the brunt end of a personal attack from Biden after he asked about the importance of national security to voters in November, Puck reported. “First of all, I think you’re dead wrong on national security,” the president said to Crow. “You saw what happened recently in terms of...

    When President Biden took part in a Zoom call with lawmakers from the Congressional Progressive Caucus last weekend, an aide passed him a note that read, “Stay positive. You are sounding defensive.” Sources familiar with the call said Biden “intentionally” read the note out loud for a moment of levity during a call with anxious lawmakers. And on a separate call with centrist House lawmakers — which some sources described as “tense” — the president lashed out at Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Puck News reported Tuesday. “First of all, I think you’re dead wrong on national security. You saw what...

    Nearly 1.8 million chickens will be killed after bird flu was detected at an egg-laying operation in Weld County, a major resurgence on a commercial farm of the disease that has already seen more than 6 million birds culled. Gov. Jared Polis verbally declared a disaster declaration for the facility over the long holiday weekend. The move activates the state’s emergency operations plan and makes additional resources available to respond to the outbreak. A spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Agriculture declined to name the facility.

    There are pivotal moments that define a person’s transformation, both personally and politically, and Elon Musk is right in the middle of one. Thanks to the Democrats’ radical Marxist agenda and their botched, tyrannical policies, Musk has been pulling off political U-turns left and right. So much so, that jaws were literally dropping after his latest post. This was, by far, Elon’s most savage “red pill” moment to date. It all unfolded when Elon Musk chimed in on a thread about the SAVE Act on his X platform, a proposal aimed at ensuring only American citizens vote in federal elections....

    Schumer-linked PAC latest instance of Democrats relying on dark money while claiming to oppose it.. A new dark money group that has been blanketing swing state airwaves with ads supporting vulnerable Democratic senators has taken steps to conceal its ties to Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer’s (D., N.Y.) super PAC, according to a Washington Free Beacon review of tax records. The 501(c)4 nonprofit group, Duty and Honor, has invested heavily in swing states this election cycle on ads casting vulnerable Democratic senators as bipartisan champions of border security. The group invested $2.4 million in Ohio in May on an ad...

    The Libertarian Party of Colorado announced Tuesday night that it has partnered with the campaign of independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As part of this partnership, the party will place the Kennedy-Shanahan ticket on the Colorado state ballot. In a statement shared via social media, the Libertarian Party of Colorado stated that its Board of Directors approved a resolution to partner with the Kennedy campaign as a way to strategically challenge the current two-party system and appeal to disillusioned voters in the aftermath of last week’s CNN presidential debate. “The first presidential debate of the 2024 election highlighted major...

    Former Parker Mayor Greg Lopez — a 2020 election denier — won the Republican nomination for Colorado's 4th Congressional District special election to finish what's left of former GOP U.S. Rep. Ken Buck's term. Why it matters: Ahead of the November election, the four-way race was a test to signal whether Democratic support is growing in this GOP-dominated region, which covers the state's Eastern Plains. Reality check: The result, however, indicates Republicans' stronghold remains firmly intact. By the numbers: Lopez won with 57% of the vote in preliminary results posted when polls closed at 7pm. The Associated Press projected him...

    Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has won the GOP primary in Colorado’s eastern 4th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ. Boebert defeated a group of Republican challengers to prevail in the Republican contest to replace former Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), defying assumptions early on in the primary cycle that her days in Congress were numbered. The Colorado Republican, who currently represents the western 3rd Congressional District, initially ran for another term in that district, after narrowly winning her second term against Democrat Adam Frisch by several hundred votes in 2022. She decided late last year to instead run in the...

    Campus carry for self-defense will become illegal in Colorado when SB24-131 takes effect on July 1, 2024. On April 20, 2015, Breitbart News noted that campus carry had been the law of the land in Colorado since 2003. There had been no mass shootings, and, apart from one incident in which a Colorado University employee accidentally discharged a gun, there were zero crimes by permit holders during those first 12 years. A Google search conducted on June 24, 2024, found the story had not changed — there have still been no mass shootings on a Colorado college/university campus, and no...

Senate Bill 24-068 expanded the Colorado assisted suicide law by: allowing advanced practice registered nurses to approve and prescribe lethal poison, reducing the waiting period from 15 days to 7 days, allowing the doctor or advanced practice registered nurse to waive the waiting period if the person is near to death, Adding language specifying that if any end-of-life options conflict with requirements to receive federal money, the conflicting part is...

    Security guard Matthew Dolloff fatally shot Lee Keltner in the October 2022 confrontation.. Colorado's second-highest court on Thursday concluded 9News can be held liable for the actions of a security guard who accompanied a producer during an October 2020 rally in downtown Denver and ended up fatally shooting a man after a brief confrontation. At the same time, a three-judge panel for the Court of Appeals agreed 9News could not otherwise be liable for negligently hiring or supervising Matthew Dolloff because the evidence showed the organization did not employ or direct him, instead obtaining Dolloff's services through multiple layers of...

    A report by a Native American-led nonprofit group claims indigenous homelands were taken by Colorado, and the state reaped mountains of money through that action. The report shares about the apparent “dispossession” of $1.7 trillion worth of the indigenous homelands by the state and the United States, according to an Associated Press (AP) article published Friday. The outlet noted the report was compiled by the Truth, Restoration, and Education Commission (TREC). In addition, the report claims that Colorado gained nearly $550 million in mineral extraction from those homelands. The AP article continued:

    Live Action News ^ | June 12, 2024 | Bridget Sielicki
    Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed legislation last week expanding the state’s assisted suicide laws. Senate Bill 24-068 weakens many of the safeguards surrounding assisted death by allowing non-physicians like advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to evaluate the patient and prescribe assisted suicide drugs. It also reduces the waiting period for assisted suicide from 15 days to seven days and allows the doctor or APRN to waive the waiting period altogether if they believe that the patient is near death. According to Alex Schadenberg of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, many states like Colorado seek to allow APRNs to administer suicide because...

    COLORADO (KCNC) — A Colorado judge who accepted a public censure and resigned following accusations of sexually charged conduct at work is striking back at the state investigation into his behavior calling it “disproportionate punishment for the crime.” He is claiming state administrators wanted to embarrass, ridicule, and shame him for his alternative lifestyle. “The investigation was overzealous and a waste of taxpayer dollars,” said former Judge John Scipione in his first media interview, “It could have been resolved in its infancy. This case is about a waste of taxpayer dollars and a vindictive, nasty witch hunt aimed at destroying...
