Intel Erased: FBI Told Agencies to Destroy China Election Plot Evidence

By John Solomon | Just the News Memo turned over by FBI Director Kash Patel to Sen. Chuck Grassley details plot to use fake driver’s licenses to swing 2020 election to Democrat's favor. Aconfidential human source told FBI counter-intelligence in summer 2020 that China’s communist government was shipping fake driver’s licenses to the United States to manufacture “tens of thousands of fraudulent mail-in votes” for Joe Biden, according to a raw intelligence report distributed to federal agencies that was reviewed by Just the News. The report – one of two sent Monday by FBI Director Kash Patel to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley – was sent to U.S. intelligence agencies on Aug. 24, 2020, as an uncorroborated advisory, then suddenly recalled with little explanation oth...

Joondeph: The summer of Cloward-Piven is here

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker The "Summer of Love" of 2020 refers to the period of social unrest, protests, riots, and billions of dollars in property damage following the death of George Floyd that May. It involved widespread demonstrations against law enforcement and perceived racial injustice, fueled by the Black Lives Matter movement and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Five years later, just a few weeks before summer officially begins, we are kicking off the “Summer of Cloward-Piven.” Cloward-Piven is rarely mentioned by corporate media and is seldom heard from the lips of elected officials. Instead, it is regarded as a conspiracy theory only discussed on A.M. talk radio by knuckle-dragging, white, heterosexual, Christian Trump supporters.  ...

Menendez Behind Bars: Democrat Senator Jailed for Bribery and Corruption

By Ben Kochman | New York Post Bob Menendez is about to spend his “golden” years behind bars. The disgraced New Jersey Democrat surrendered at a federal prison in Pennsylvania on Tuesday to begin his 11-year sentence for a corrupt scheme that earned him the moniker “Gold Bar Bob.” Menendez, 71, arrived at FCI Schuykill — a two-and-a-half-hour drive from his Englewood Cliffs home — at around 9 a.m., following his conviction for selling his powerful Senate post to enrich himself with gold bars, cash, and other bribes. The once-powerful pol was sentenced in January, but was allowed to push off his prison term’s start date after he argued he needed to support his wife, Nadine Menendez, during her trial on similar bribery and corruption charges. He’s also made a bid to score a la...

The Puppet Presidency, Insider Warned Biden Not in Charge

By Joseph E. Schmitz | Commentary, The Daily Signal On June 18, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the concealment of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. This hearing will start to shed a congressional light on the apparent misuse of the presidential autopen. According to President Donald Trump’s June 4, memorandum, “This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.” The chief speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, Kenneth Khachigian, published an article on May 30 in The Wall Street Journal, which concludes that Americans have been “cynically hoodwinked,” so much so that “Mr. Biden’s using an autopen”—assuming he actually knew about it—“and Attorney General [Merrick] Garland’s declining to release the ...

Speaking out or stepping over? Jury hits Lindell with $2.3M defamation verdict

By Natalie Neysa Alund and Melina Khan | USA Today A federal jury has found MyPillow founder Mike Lindell liable for defaming a former Colorado voting system executive after the 2020 presidential election. The Denver-based jury determined on June 16 that Lindell made "baseless conspiracy theories claiming election fraud in the 2020 election" and slandered Eric Coomer, a former director at Dominion Voting Systems, a North American company that makes and sells voting machines and tabulators. Coomer filed the suit in the District of Colorado in May 2022, claiming Lindell and two of his companies − MyPillow and FrankSpeech − helped spread a conspiracy theory that he rigged the election against President Donald Trump. According to the 67-page suit obtained b...

Progressive Mismanagement? Boulder Faces Fiscal Reckoning

By: Heather Willard | KDVR.com DENVER (KDVR) — The city of Boulder is facing a potential budget shortfall of between $8 to $10 million, and is taking steps to “underspend” through the rest of 2025. The city said that the most salient of the steps is a hiring freeze for nearly all vacant positions listed in the city’s government through Dec. 31. Some exceptions will be made for “critical roles,” such as those needed for public safety and water quality, but all exceptions will require the city manager’s authorization to proceed. Any job offers the city has already made will be honored, but all postings for non-essential positions ended Friday. “We do not take this step lightly, but we, like many other local governments, are facing challenging conditions,” said Nuria Rivera-Vander...

Property Rights Violated? GJ Business Says City Crossed the Line

By Brandon Leuallen | The Business Times This article is a follow-up to “CDOT Sells Used Car Dealer a Lemon,” published June 4 in The Business Times. In that story, we reported about CDOT acquiring the GJ Auto Sales property through the threat of eminent domain for a planned mobility hub. This expanded report traces the project’s timeline, revealing a process — jointly coordinated by CDOT, the City of Grand Junction and Mesa County’s Regional Transportation Planning Office — that began before the property owners ever found out and ended only after the property owners accepted a final offer just before condemnation proceedings could begin. For 22 years, Mike and Amber Martinez had operated GJ Auto Sales from a downtown Grand Junction corner, building up their small family business ...

Progressive Pundits Push False Narrative After Tragedy

By Michael Schwarz | Commentary, The Western Journal Establishment elites love cheap labor. They always have. Thus, the establishment media routinely gaslights readers and viewers about illegal immigration, a prime source of cheap labor. Now and then, however, even the establishment media cannot help accidentally telling the truth. On Sunday, for instance, in the opening paragraph of a story meant to evoke pathos for the “victims” of last week’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid on the Glenn Valley Foods meat packing plant in Omaha, Nebraska, which netted 76 illegal immigrants, NBC News inadvertently undermined the leftist establishment’s entire immigration narrative. “Every seat in the waiting area of Glenn Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applicati...

Barstnar and Milo: Energy mandates are making Colorado unaffordable

By Kathie Barstnar and Tony Milo | Commentary, Denver Gazette Progress should not come at the expense of affordability. As Colorado moves toward a lower-carbon future, families and businesses deserve energy options that are reliable, cost-effective, and reflect their needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Choice and balance should guide this transition, not rising bills and reduced options. As organizations working to meet Colorado’s growing housing and economic development needs, we see firsthand how rising construction costs and added building requirements are making it harder to deliver buildings and homes that small businesses and working families can afford. The housing affordability crisis is getting worse, and we must implement policies that support Coloradans working to mak...

As seniors try to downsize, Colorado’s housing market shuts them out

By Brian Eason | Colorado Sun Most older residents want to age in place. But experts say Colorado’s housing stock wasn’t built with their needs in mind. Pat Malone moved to Arvada with her husband in the early 2010s for a more affordable retirement than they could have found in California. “Or so we thought,” she said wryly. The empty-nesters rented at first, then bought a single-family home. When the stairs became more daunting for her husband, it took them a long time to find what they needed. A single-floor condominium, with no stairs and no garden to maintain is a unicorn in Colorado. “We couldn’t find anything like that when we were (first) looking for a property,” said Malone, 76. “We really had no choice but to buy a house.” Seniors like Malone make up Colo...
