More than 18,400 migrants have come to Denver since the first buses of people who are fleeing unsafe conditions in Venezuela began arriving in the city around Christmas, overwhelming shelters and city workers. The number of buses from the Texas border is rising again, with Denver officials accusing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott of ramping up the frequency to several busloads per week. “We don’t track where all of the buses are coming from,” said Victoria Aguilar, a spokesperson for Denver Human Services, which is helping migrants find places to sleep once they arrive in Denver. “Those that we are tracking...

Chaya Raichik, the creator behind the Twitter account Libs of TikTok, had been anonymous until she was doxed by Taylor Lorenz.But Lorenz’s attempts to silence Raichik backfired spectacularly and Libs of TikTok has grown to over 2.5 million on X.Raichik’s page chronicles radical leftists by reposting videos that Liberals publish themselves on social media, often chronicling public school teachers indoctrination of children to a radical leftist agenda.In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Raichik promised to become even more involved in s fighting the culture war against the types of leftists she regularly exposes with her account.Recently, a parent in Cherry...

When you put three of the biggest names in football in one room — or, in this case, a Zoom call — you're going to get some gold. That's exactly what happened when Deion Sanders and son Shedeur, who have taken over college football at the University of Colorado, hopped on Tom Brady's "Let's Go" podcast earlier this week. While Shedeur has easy access to free advice from his father, his head coach and a Pro Football Hall of Famer, the seven-time Super Bowl champion also offered some suggestions.

Republicans "itching" to impeach President Biden are "relying on an imagined history," Rep. Ken Buck wrote in an op-ed criticizing his own party and the hard-line House Freedom Caucus, of which he is a member. "Trump's impeachment in 2019 was a disgrace to the Constitution and a disservice to Americans. The GOP's reprise in 2023 is no better," the Colorado Republican wrote in the op-ed published Friday in The Washington Post.

@dbongino Ken Buck is a disgrace.

Deion Sanders has made Boulder, Colorado, the improbable center of the sports world. Why it matters: In Sanders' first year, he's led the once-hapless Colorado Buffaloes to a 3-0 start. Among his biggest supporters — Black fans around the country. The big picture: Black households have been glued to the Buffs' first few televised games. Celebrities from Snoop Dogg to Dwayne Johnson are hyping the Buffs. Black teachers, with no previous connections to Colorado, on social media call Sanders an inspiration. Details: Sanders, aka Coach Prime, led the Buffs to a dramatic 43-35 double-overtime win over Colorado State on Saturday....

Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders is one of the hottest coaches in football at the moment. The Buffaloes are currently 3-0 and ranked No. 19 in the Associated Press poll with a huge game at Oregon coming this weekend. But it wasn’t always clear that Sanders was headed for success in Boulder. He took plenty of criticism from posting his first meeting with his team. In no uncertain terms, he told the team that he was bringing his “Louis Vitton luggage” with him from Jackson and any player that didn’t like it should hit the portal. Over 40 players took...

Wild woman Rep. Lauren Boebert squeezed in a quick groping session between vaping and loudly singing during her already-infamous “Beetlejuice” viewing — later blaming her inappropriate behavior on her ongoing divorce. Security footage from Denver’s Buell Theatre Sunday shows the 36-year-old Colorado Republican reaching down for her date’s crotch shortly after blowing a plume of vaporized smoke into the air, which she initially denied doing When her date — Democratic Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher, 46 — in turn appeared to fondle her breast, the congresswoman aggressively grabbed his hand to keep it there. The heavy petting was just one...

A bar owned by Rep. Lauren Boebert’s apparent new beau has staged at least one drag show, according to a review of social media posts. In January, the Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, which is co-owned by Quinn Gallagher, staged “a winter Wonderland Burlesque & Drag Show,” an invitation for the event reveals. In January 2020, Aspen Gay Ski Week hosted “an evening of cocktails, appetizers, and laughs” at Hooch, according to a Facebook post at the time. Gallagher, a Democrat, was caught on video getting frisky with Boebert, apparently grabbing her breast while she appeared to rub his...

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert called a pregnant woman “a sad and miserable person” after she asked the Republican lawmaker to stop vaping during the “Beetlejuice” performance that she and her date were later kicked out of on Sunday, according to a report. The firebrand’s foul remark came after she had told the mom-to-be “no” when the fellow Denver theatergoer asked her to put her vaping pen down, the Denver Post reported Thursday. “These people in front of us were outrageous,” the woman, who requested anonymity, told the newspaper. “I’ve never seen anyone act like that before.” The behavior of Boebert,...

It’s Shangri-La for the down and out. A decked-out, open-air tavern for the homeless that also rents out tents for prostitution has popped up in downtown Denver, according to police. The pop-up speakeasy — which features lounge chairs, umbrellas and astroturf — has taken over the sidewalk at 23rd Street and Champa Street, which the city’s growing homeless population turned into an encampment.

BLM gunman who shot a driver in the head has charges dropped, sentence reduced, eligible for parole in 2026The public is forgetting a lot of things. The absurd theater surrounding the COVID pandemic and hysteria over vaccines seems like a distant memory. The huge outpouring of organized violence surrounding the death of George Floyd, probably the worst the nation has experienced in decades, is also slipping away. One incident that is often forgotten is the shooting that took place in the small town Alamosa, CO. In Alamosa we saw the familiar pattern of the riots: Black Lives Matter protestors would...

GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert was tossed out of a musical over the weekend over ‘unruly’ behavior throughout the show, according to a report. Boebert, 36, was attending “Beetlejuice: The Musical” at the Temple Hoyne Bell Theater in Denver Sunday evening along with an unidentified male after fellow audience members complained the two were being loud. Theater employees accused the two of “vaping, singing, recording and ‘causing a disturbance’ during the performance,” The Denver Post reported.

U.S. Representative Ken Buck’s big wet sloppy kiss to Attorney General Merrick Garland last week could not have come at worse time for the Colorado Republican. Judge Timothy J. Kelly of the federal court in Washington, D.C. was in the process of ordering prison time typically applied to murderers, drug traffickers, and serial child pornographers for five members of the Proud Boys convicted of no serious crime related to January 6. A well-known gun storage company faced backlash for assisting the FBI in yet another armed raid against a January 6 trespasser. And a young man from Utah took his...

In Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) announced he is terminating the contract the state has had for 30 years with Real Alternatives, a nonprofit that supports pro-life counseling centers "because it doesn't represent our Party's values. In a world that is already overpopulated the last thing we need to do is support women who don't want to abort their babies." In Ohio, Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights (OURR) is suing the Ohio Ballot Board for approving ballot language to "Issue 1" that says "if the amendment passes it would always allow an unborn child to be aborted at any stage...

A builder in Colorado owes $6 million to customers who never received their promised tiny homes after he allegedly blew the cash on race cars, real estate and lavish trips, according to new bankruptcy filings. Matthew Sowash, the president and CEO of Holy Ground Tiny Homes, failed to deliver tiny homes to 189 buyers while spending hundreds of thousands on seemingly personal purchases, KDVR reported. The nonprofit company spent more than $400,000 to buy and repair race cars and other vehicles in addition to $35,000 in real estate in Colorado and Alaska, according to an 81-page report filed Friday and...

Pro-choice groups advertise 'Abortion is Good/El Aborto es Bueno' T-shirtsColorado Gov. Jared Polis might want to have checked with a few more Democrats before declaring that they believe abortion is “bad.” The pro-choice governor landed in hot water with some fellow Democrats and abortion rights groups as he sought to find common ground between the parties by saying both sides agree that elective pregnancy termination isn’t a good thing. “Democrats don’t believe that abortion is good. We believe it’s bad. It should be minimized,” Mr. Polis said in a July 23 interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “How do...

The Colorado governor finds common ground with many libertarians. But does he really stand for more freedom? Colorado has a popular Democratic governor, Jared Polis. He's a rare Democrat who says, "I'm for more freedom and lower taxes." But is he really? At least he's willing to come to Stossel TV to debate. Refreshingly, Polis supports charter schools. He even founded two. Unfortunately, his state's school choice program only applies to government schools. Florida, Arizona, Utah, Indiana, West Virginia, Iowa, and Arkansas now help parents send their kids to any school. When I tell Polis that Colorado lags, he responds,...

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW), a Washington-based watchdog group, on Wednesday filed a lawsuit on behalf of a handful of voters seeking to bar former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot in Colorado under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment based on his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The suit -- quickly dismissed by Trump's team -- marks one of the first serious challenges to his qualifications as a presidential candidate based on a 14th Amendment argument. Section 3 states that someone isn't eligible for future office if, while they were previously...

The entire football world watched Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes upset the Horned Frogs of TCU last Saturday afternoon. Even the GOAT, Tom Brady, tuned in. Brady was so impressed with the Buffaloes' victory that he personally reached out to Shedeur, Deion's son and Colorado's starting quarterback. His message was a simple one: "Don't be satisfied" with just one win. Strive for more. "Don't be satisfied," Brady said in a text to Shedeur.
