Denver Mayor Mike Johnston insisted he is 'not afraid' of being jailed over his staunch opposition to Donald Trump's mass deportation plans. The Democrat has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump and his new 'Border Czar' Tom Homan, who has directly threatened Johnston with jail time if he stands in their way. In an appearance on Monday with Fox News' Hannity, Homan said: 'Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing; he's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.'

California is about to become home to the nation’s second electric vehicle-charging roadway — with construction due to be completed ahead of the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The multimillion dollar UCLA project, funded with state grant moneys, will concentrate on a half-mile stretch of road in Westwood, according to the Los Angeles Times. And it will come as the university prepares to host the Olympic Village — where all of the competing athletes stay during the games. “A wireless inductive option is a game changer,” Clinton Bench, director of the UCLA Fleet and Transit, told the Times. “When a...

A man died and went to Heaven. St Peter says to him, “Before you meet with God, I should tell you, we’ve looked over your life, and honestly, you didn’t do anything particularly good or bad. We’re not really sure what to do with you. Can you tell us anything you did that can help us decide?” The newly arrived soul thought for a moment and replied, “Yeah, once while out driving, I came upon a little old lady being harassed by a group of thugs. I pulled over and went up to the leader of the thugs. He was...

Musk called for the elimination of the CFPB, describing it as an example of excessive regulatory duplication. Many consider the CFPB to be unconstitutional. Musk’s Bold ProposalDuring a social media campaign, Elon Musk issued a clarion call to end the existence of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

BRICS countries show little interest in Moscow’s proposal for an alternative financial system. Browsing through the official photos of the annual BRICS summit in the Russian city of Kazan last month yields intriguing surprises. In several of them, Russian President Vladimir Putin holds a mock-up banknote featuring the flags of the five core BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Looking at the pictures, one could be forgiven for assuming that the BRICS had just launched a common currency. This is exactly what Moscow would like the world to think as part of its bid to demonstrate that Russia...

The mother of Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, wrote him an email in 2018 saying he had routinely mistreated women for years and displayed a lack of character. “On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say … get some help and take an honest look at yourself,” Penelope Hegseth wrote, stating that she still loved him.She also wrote: “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that...

In June, Victor Martinez-Hernandez was charged with the murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five in Maryland. Police in Oklahoma tracked the accused repeat offender down with a sample of his DNA recovered from a Los Angeles home invasion in which a nine-year-old girl and her mother were assaulted. Police say he came to the U.S. illegally to escape prosecution for at least one other murder in his native El Salvador in December 2022. “That should never have been allowed to happen,” said Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler, referring to the numerous missed red flags the case presented. His office apprehended...

The city of New York pays $220 million to rent the entire Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house illegal migrants. The hotel is owned by the government of Pakistan, and the deal was part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout package to help Pakistan avoid defaulting on their international debt.

The task of offering an analysis of the movie Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin has been complicated for me because the promotion for the movie shows Dietrich Bonhoeffer with a gun in his hand. My attempts to recover from this misleading portrayal have no doubt prejudiced me. I need to confess this may make me less than a reliable witness, but I am determined to give as objective a view as possible. As a lifelong reader of Bonhoeffer’s The Cost of Discipleship, I am not easily pleased with cinematic depictions of his theology.For my part, I would rather have Bonhoeffer depicted...

Relevant section starts at 21:40 into the youtube video.The 1964 New York Times Co. vs. Sullivan was handed down as a unanimous decision of the (to conservatives, notorious) Warren Court. It was not only unanimous, but included enthusiastic concurrences by justices who wanted to go even further.In is the Sullivan decision which severely inhibits the filing of libel suits by “public figures” - emphatically including politicians. The theory of the decision basically was that politicians are big boys who can handle themselves in propaganda contests because they have political parties behind them. Scalia’s rebuttal is that “the” freedom of speech,...

Buc-ee’s are popping up all over America. It’s to the point that the beaver-emblazoned beacon is becoming a roadside attraction in its own right. Why? Convenience and cleanliness - the giant gas stations are known for having massive, ultra-clean restrooms. There’s also every kind of snack, sandwich and soft drink you could ever want all under one roof. It’s no surprise then that a Trump-hating writer for Jalopnik (yep, we never heard if it either) would call these shrines to roadside comfort and capitalism, a ‘sickness'.alopnik @Jalopnik · Follow Buc-ee's Is The Sickness At The Heart Of AmericaBuc-ee’s can be...

Denver's far-left mayor has walked back his threat to use his city's police department to stop federal immigration law enforcement. As RedState previously reported, Mayor Mike Johnston told a local news outlet that there would be a "Tiananmen Square" moment if the incoming Trump administration moved into the city to deport illegal immigrants. He even went so far as to say he'd use Denver PD to set up checkpoints at "the county line," something I'm sure not too many officers were keen on being a part of. “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them...
