Florida Sheriff Ivey to protesters: “Brick, firebomb or gun—we’ll kill you, graveyard dead”

By Gray News staff | KKTV BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. (Gray News) – A sheriff in Florida delivered a stern warning to potentially destructive protesters demonstrating against the ongoing national immigration crackdown. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey was joined by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Thursday to announce support to law enforcement officers in the state. “If you throw a brick, a firebomb or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains because we will kill you, graveyard dead,” Ivey said. According to Uthmeier, some federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents from other parts of the U.S. have been left vulnerable after protesters leaked personal details or fami...

Congressman Jeff Hurd backs ICE enforcement: “We need to follow the law”

By Wylee Mitchell | KJCT8 News GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KJCT) - “I don’t think this is a republican issue or democratic issue. This is an issue of economic security, national security, and we need to follow the law,” Congressman Jeff Hurd said. Despite ongoing ICE protests across the country, the Department of Homeland Security said they will continue to crack on illegal immigration. Congressman Hurd represents the 3rd District in Colorado, which includes Mesa County. He said removing criminals who are in the country illegally should be a top priority. “Being here in the United States illegally is a is a violation of federal law. But I think what we’ve seen is certainly a focus on the individuals that are here illegally, that have committed additional crimes.” While we may not...

Neurologists on a vaccine team? China’s early COVID patent fuels cover-up suspicions

By Steven Richards and John Solomon | Just The News One of the smoking guns in the ongoing Trump administration probe into the COVID-19 cover-up is evidence suggesting that the Chinese suspected the novel virus may have neurological symptoms just weeks after it was officially identified, despite the fact that coronaviruses, historically, primarily affect the respiratory and digestive systems.  Specifically, two scientists listed as authors on the first Chinese patent for a COVID-19 vaccine—that remarkably came about a month after the virus crossed the border into the U.S.—are affiliated with a neuroscience institute in Beijing that works closely with the Chinese military.  The presence of these two researchers on the early 2020 vaccine patent in China is puzzling to federal i...

Israel launches precision military strike targeting Iran’s nuclear program

By Ross O'Keefe | Washington Examiner Israel conducted a military operation targeting Iran’s nuclear program on Thursday, hours after President Donald Trump cautioned Israel against one. Details of the damage Israel inflicted are still being assessed, and Israeli leaders warned their own population immediately after the strike that they could be on the receiving end of a retaliatory attack. Trump warned that a strike could happen earlier on Thursday but still held out hope for the United States and Iran to reach a diplomatic resolution regarding its nuclear program. “We remain committed to a Diplomatic Resolution to the Iran Nuclear Issue! My entire Administration has been directed to negotiate with Iran. They could be a Great Country, but they first must co...

Parker: We need a national, armed citizen militia now

By Dale Parker | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice I am not surprised at the result of the efforts of people in our state to banish firearms. No one should be surprised at the open contempt for our God given rights, protected in our Bill of Rights, that was demonstrated by requiring Ken DeGraaf to cover part of our Constitution. There is no remedy for this at the state levels.  We have to go on the offense and enact recognition of these God given rights to self protection.  The way our 2nd Amendment was penned has been glossed over for 200 years because there was no need after the American Revolution to flesh out what the Founders intended. It was recognized and taken for granted that the right to possess all arms belonged to the citizens of our country and not j...

With 12 new laws, Colorado Democrats treat gun ownership like a public threat

By Jesse Paul | Colorado Sun From limiting who can purchase most semiautomatic rifles on the market today to raising the minimum age to buy ammunition, Democrats in the legislature were busy this year imposing new gun regulations Democrats in the Colorado legislature this year passed a dozen bills imposing new gun regulations, all of which were signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis. They included measures limiting who can purchase most semiautomatic rifles on the market today, raising the minimum age to buy ammunition and aiming to improve Colorado’s response to mass shootings. While some don’t go into effect until next year, and a few are sure to draw legal challenges from gun rights groups, they represent some of the most wide-reaching changes to Colorado’s firearms laws ever a...

The protest-to-riot pipeline: How leftist networks mobilized and funded LA unrest

By Hudson Crozier | Daily Caller Well-funded activists and a coordinated social media campaign helped spark the pro-illegal migrant protests on Friday that descended into days of rioting in Los Angeles. Left-wing groups posted calls to action with a location to gather on Friday in unison after the arrest of a local Service Employees International Union (SEIU) leader on Friday. The subsequent uprising echoed scenes of the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020, which brought activists such as professional “legal observers” into the streets during a wave of protests that led to fires, looting, vandalism and deaths across the country as the organization’s leaders enriched themselves. Protests continued in a coordinated fashion through Monday, with some unident...

The Mile High price tag: Denver now among worst in U.S. for inflation

By Catie Cheshire | Westword One study found prices in Denver have spiked significantly in the last two months, outpacing Los Angeles, New York and even Honolulu. Denver has a highly ranked park system and was recently named one of the coolest cities in the country, but living around the Mile High City isn't cheap. According to a new study by WalletHub, the Denver metro has the fifth-worst inflation problem in the United States, with costs rising on a monthly and yearly basis. WalletHub analyzed inflation impacts in 23 major metropolitan areas for the study, lumping together Denver, Aurora and Lakewood. In metro Denver, the change in Consumer Price Index compared to two months ago is 1 percent and the change over the last year is 2.2 percent, WalletHub research s...

Garbo: The Left’s silence says more than their spin ever could

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice They don’t talk about egg prices anymore. Inflation has disappeared from their daily talking points. You’ll hear nothing about tariffs, the stock market, or the border crisis they once screamed about nonstop. Why? Because those issues - once weaponized against President Trump - have all improved under his leadership. And with Trump back in office, once again tackling these challenges head-on, the left has lost the argument - and they know it. Every one of these “crises” was once a cudgel. The media elevated each one with the clear goal of assigning blame to President Trump. Yet every time, Trump didn’t run from the issue - he took it head-on, and in full public view. Trump Faced the Fire - and Fixed What They Broke Let’...

Hancock: The phrase that shields tyranny behind a slogan

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack In George Orwell’s 1984, citizens were told that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. It was called Newspeak—language engineered to distort thought—and doublethink, the act of believing two contradictory things at once. Today, we don’t need fiction. We have the perpetual news. Across America, mobs swarm immigration offices, smash windows, burn vehicles, blockade highways, and hurl explosives at federal buildings—all while being shielded under the banner of “peaceful protest.” The phrase is repeated so often it’s practically trademarked. Politicians echo it. Journalists parrot it. And poets romanticize it, casting destruction as defiance and rage as righteousness. The public is expected not just to accept the...
