Following anti-gun session, bipartisan 2nd Amendment Caucus is being formed by Reps. Armagost, Bottoms

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice If state Reps. Ryan Armagost and Scott Bottoms are successful, their newly-formed House caucus will have bipartisan membership and strive to support, promote and protect gun rights for all Coloradans. The intent of the 2nd Amendment Caucus in the Colorado House is to create policy, ensuring the 2nd Amendment rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution are upheld, while prioritizing firearm safety and education, a statement reads. "Firearm safety and education should not be a partisan issue," Bottoms said in a press release. "Our goal is to ensure that all Coloradoans are knowledgeable and safe when it comes to firearm ownership. The Colorado 2nd Amendment Caucus will serve as a platform for collaboration and understanding, transcending party li...

Video: Has a Venezuelan gang taken over an Aurora apartment complex?

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Has an apartment management company in Aurora failed to maintain their property, as one media outlet reported, or has the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Argua, taken over the property by force? That's the focus of an interview by Free State Colorado's Brandon Wark with Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky. In the video, Jurinsky shares her perspective on the truth of whether the property is owned by a slum lord, or whether it has been taken over by Tren de Argua, as John Tiegen supports in this post.

Tina Peters hints at appeal in aftermath of election security conviction

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Mere hours after being convicted Monday on seven counts related to the breach of the Mesa County election system, former County Clerk Tina Peters seemed to hint at a future appeal. "I will continue to fight until the truth is revealed that was not allowed to be brought during this trial," Peters wrote on Twitter/X. https://twitter.com/realtinapeters/status/1823182809575330118 Earlier Monday, after four hours of jury deliberations, Peters was convicted by a jury on three felony counts of attempting to influence a public official, along with felony conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, failure to comply with an order of the secretary of state, official misconduct and violation of duty. She was acquitted on three other counts. "Th...

Peters convicted on seven counts in election integrity trial

By Brian Porter | Rocky Mountain Voice Viewed as a patriot by many on the right concerned with election security and integrity, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters was convicted Monday on numerous counts related to a breakdown of her county’s election computer system in 2020. Peters was convicted of three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty and failing to comply with the secretary of state. Central to the case, Peters faced accusations she had used another person's security badge and her position to provide access to an expert related to MyPillow's Mike Lindell to the election system. Lindell also had questioned the validity of election results nationally....

‘We’re going to get this seat back’: Bright vying to reclaim Senate District 13 for Republicans

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Scott Bright has an eye on reclaiming the Senate District 13 seat for Republicans in the Colorado Legislature. The district overlays the 48th, 50th and 63rd Colorado House districts in the areas of Brighton, Greeley and largely the Hwy. 85 corridor. Senate District 13 had been held by Republican John Cooke, for a short term the minority leader in the Colorado Senate, but upon him becoming term-limited, the seat went to Democrat Kevin Priola following redistricting. Prior to Cooke, Republican Scott Renfroe held the seat for eight years. "We're going to get this seat back," Bright said during a recent campaign event. "It is really important that we win this Senate seat, and a couple of other winnable seats." Among his top priorities would be...

‘We’re not going anywhere’: Protect Kids Colorado pledges to be back in 2026 for another run at initiatives

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice An effort to place two initiatives on the statewide 2024 ballot came up short, but leaders and volunteers of Protect Kids Colorado say they will continue the work toward successful 2026 signature campaigns. "We're not going anywhere," said Erin Lee, one of several leaders of Protect Kids Colorado. "The fire has only just been lit in Colorado." In coordination with former Colorado Sen. Kevin Lundberg and other leaders, Protect Kids Colorado attempted to put forward two propositions: Prop. 142 - Requiring parents of children in public schools to be informed if their child is experiencing "gender incongruence," a term defined by the initiative as "a difference between a child's biological [born-with] sex and the child's perceived or desired g...

Rep. Boebert: ‘It’s now truly MAGA vs. Marxism’ in presidential race

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice The result of Kamala Harris selecting Tim Walz as her running mate is a drifting of the Democratic Party further left, Rep. Lauren Boebert said Tuesday in a series of posts on Twitter/X. "It’s now truly MAGA vs Marxism," she tweeted in one post. "I know what side I’m on!" Boebert defeated a dozen opponents in her 4th District Republican Party primary election for U.S. representative, positioning as the most conservative choice in the final field of six, which she defeated across the board by about 30%. She held the endorsement of Donald J. Trump. She never shied from her conservative positions. She doesn't on Twitter/X, either. "It’s pretty obvious that the Democrat[ic] Party has now fully morphed into the Hamas Party," she wrote. "The pic...

Markets claw back some losses on rebound Tuesday; Dow still down 4.17% for the week

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice The worst day in two years on Wall Street and in financial markets worldwide was followed Tuesday by some claw back in value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which took a beating on Monday, finished up 0.76% on a nearly 295-point rise. The S&P 500 finished up 1.04% and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.03%. Many financial analysts supported the theory Monday's bloodbath for investors was related to an underperforming jobs report, or possibly inaction by the Fed. Former President Donald J. Trump noted it was also possibly related to his opponent, Democrat Kamala Harris, announcing prior to the market opening she had the delegates for the nomination for President. He called it the "Kamala Crash" and boasted a Trump presidency would result i...

Who is Harris’ VP candidate Tim Walz? A far Left radical, Trump campaign says

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Where does the selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as vice president place a possible Kamala Harris-Walz presidential administration on the political spectrum? It cements it as a far Left, radical ticket, the most radical in the country's history, several sources in the Donald J. Trump presidential campaign said Tuesday. "From proposing his own carbon-free agenda, to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars, and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda far and wide," Karoline Leavitt, the Trump-Vance campaign press secretary, wrote in a statement. Walz is soft on crime and "loves" China, opposition research by the Republican Party indic...

Conn’s HomePlus closing all stores nationwide, including six in Colorado

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Some Coloradans might be able to find a great deal on furniture, appliances, electronics, bedding and more as Conn's HomePlus prepares to close all of its stores nationwide. In July, the retailer announced plans to close a little less than half of its locations as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Instead, it will shutter all 174 stores, eliminating about 4,000 jobs in 15 states. The top of the company's website on Tuesday displayed a "Going out of business sale" banner, boasting 30-50% off everything in store and on the website. Conn's HomePlus operates six locations in Colorado, a search of the website details. These include:7360 W. 52nd. Ave., Arvada.60 S. Abilene St., Aurora.340 N. Academy Blvd., Colorado Springs.550 E. 102nd Ave...
