Independence Pass east of Aspen is listed as closed according to the state’s transportation department, but the road was not shut down Wednesday because of mudslides but rather to lessen traffic. Earlier in the day, the Colorado Department of Transportation marked the road as closed on its travelers update site http://www.cotrip.org because of a “safety closure due to mudslide,” and Pitkin County Undersheriff Alex Burchetta said Wednesday afternoon the county sent out an alert about 3:30 p.m. as such, based on that information. However, there were not any mudslides and the messaging “evolved” and was changed by CDOT, Burchetta said....

A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that federal laws banning firearms dealers from selling handguns to customers under the age of 21 were unconstitutional. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit said in the decision that there was no reason to treat the Second Amendment any differently from other constitutional rights citizens enjoy no later than the age of 18. The court ruled that 18-year-olds possess Second Amendment rights, and the federal government failed “to justify its infringement of those rights under the appropriate level of scrutiny.”

This is totally a social media sourced oddball thread, but does anyone else have a video of this and can capture what Jennifer Ware claims to have captured? Do any of you know what that black figure could be?

A statement issued by the Turkish Ministry of Defense regarding the ownership of the Incirlik base and all the weapons systems at its disposal! The announcement came as a blow because US Pentagon officials themselves did not expect any Turkish moves or statements involving the Incirlik base. And yet the announcement of the Turkish Ministry of Defense does not simply involve the Incirlik base but refers to the Turkey-US Defense Treaty that was first revealed by WarNews247 a few days ago. The Turkish media clearly state that this is Ankara’s response to the recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

1. There is a distinct singular American culture - rugged individualism and self-reliance - which made America great. 2. The vast majority of the rich in this country did not inherit their wealth; they earned it. They are the country's achievers, producers, and job creators. 3. No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity. 4. Evidence refutes liberalism. 5. There is no such thing as a New Democrat. 6. The Earth's eco-system is not fragile. 7. Character matters; leadership decends from character. 8. The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you do with it after you cut it...

McConnell Speaks Before Senate Confirms Judge Barrett ‘The Senate will render one of the most consequential judgements it can ever deliver. We will approve a lifetime appointment to our nation’s highest court. Since the ink dried on the Constitution, only 114 men and women have been entrusted to uphold the separation of powers, protect people’s rights, and dispense impartial justice on the Supreme Court. In a few minutes, Judge Amy Coney Barrett of Indiana will join their ranks. WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding Judge Amy...

During an interview with the NRA’s 1st Freedom, President Donald Trump said he would sign national reciprocity legislation for concealed carry if it reaches his desk. The outlet posed the question: Mr. President, each state’s driver’s license is honored across this great nation, yet a permit to carry a concealed gun — which, in contrast, is a right specifically protected in the U.S. Bill of Rights — is often not respected by other states. Will you support a national reciprocity act so that law-abiding gun owners can more easily travel with their freedom? Trump responded by making sure the focus...

If you live in Colorado you may find roadside stands and tables at supermarkets and malls for signing a petition to perform a special election to recall Colorado governor Jared Polis (D). The liberal democrat dictator is not on good footing and can be recalled. He is politically weak and the people of Colorado are done with this little tyrant. The petition needs 900,000 signatures by about 31 October. There needs to be 631,000 verified signatures out of those 900,000 by 14 November. The Colorado Secretary of State is an extreme left-wing liberal who will try to throw out every...

There are no computer systems for reporting all virus infection cases and there is no means to collect counts of all who are infected. Every day the liberal propaganda states such lies as "77,000 New Cases on Friday July 17th", except that there is no mechanism to determine there have been 77,000 new cases that day. Also, those propaganda reports usually come out the same day. Ever notice that? Same day reporting. There are no computer systems in the federal or State government that produce such reports. None. There are no data collection capabilities that can produce such reports. Testing...

"I ain't serving y'all no more. Y'all don't deserve it! You don't deserve it. You need your ass killed around here." A video that went viral on social media this week shows the black owner of a chicken restaurant in Little Rock, Arkansas displaying a “Serving Whites Only” sign and brandishing a firearm, explaining that black customers come in and “want to kill me, when I’m trying to serve them chicken.” The video, which was originally posted to Worldstar Hip Hop, shows a customer filming the proprietor of Wang’s Chicken, and appearing to continue an argument that started off-camera. A...

Did Trump supporters really make a unicorn out of an antifa weirdo?? I just had to ask. :)

Below is how ANTIFA organizes their protests. Watch for their movements in all protests. You'll see 'Flag Bearers', typically red flags, directing the people. You'll see 'Online Comms' people on their smart phones getting directions from organizers. You'll see the four front line people; 'Peaceful Protestors', 'Shield Soldiers', 'Frontliners', and 'Range Soldiers', all acting in coordination as the Online Comms people give them orders of when to take their respective actions. Watch the 'Light Image' personnel point green lasers at TV cameras, helicopters, and cops filming the action. The 'Fire Squads' have been seen using traffic cones to cover tear...

Many privately-owned aircraft at Colorado Air and Space Port (CASP) are owned and operated by individuals, businesses, and organizations that fall into the category of "critical business," as defined by the Executive Order signed by Gov. Polis on March 25, 2020. These include medical, medevac, food services, small cargo, fire prevention, law enforcement, public safety, and others. General aviation has always been a critical part of helping communities, especially during times of emergency and disaster, and CASP remains open to support these important missions. However, for the safety of our employees and you, we ask, in this very unusual time...
