Colorado law enforcement to ‘put the heat on’ drunk drivers over New Year’s

By Jennifer McRae | CBS Colorado Law enforcement across Colorado are boosting patrols for the New Year's Eve holiday. The Heat Is On New Year's Eve DUI enforcement period continues through Thursday, Jan. 2.  Drivers may see saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints along with more law enforcement officers on duty to keep impaired drivers off Colorado's roadways.  To encourage drivers to give up the keys, Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) Colorado and Uber have partnered to provide $7 ride credits. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, ride credits can be redeemed using code SAFECO24 in the Uber app starting Dec. 25 through Jan. 1, 2025, while supplies last. The code is good across Colorado.  READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

Colorado Springs working to replace, rehabilitate crumbling bridges

By Savannah Eller | The Gazette As with any good public infrastructure, a bridge is meant to be taken for granted. For about 218 major bridges carrying cars, trains and pedestrians from one place to another in Colorado Springs, most would say that users should not have to spare a thought for the engineering under their feet. A 2024 study put out by the Colorado Department of Transportation rated those bridges at least a 5 out of 9, putting them in the “fair” to “excellent” category of condition. Unfortunately, Colorado Springs had a few in need of serious work — some of which are linchpins in major transportation arteries. According to the city, 13 bridges ended up with condition ratings 4 and under in the “poor” to “failed” categories. One of the worst of those was removed entire...

Residents rebuild neighborhoods decimated by Marshall Fire three years ago

By Rachel Saurer | Fox 31 News It has been three years since the Marshall Fire burned more than 6,000 acres and destroyed 1,105 homes in Boulder County. Louisville, Superior and unincorporated Boulder County have collectively reported that 712 of those homes have been rebuilt. Many of the neighborhoods that were hit hardest in the fire are nearly unrecognizable after these three years. Eric Schnepp rebuilt his home in the Sagamore neighborhood, which was one of the first neighborhoods to get hit. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX 31 NEWS

In 2024 election, more voters identified as Republican, flipping a trend dating to FDR

By Sandy Fitzgerald  | Newsmax The 2024 election featured far more Republicans than Democrats in the electorate, reversing a longtime trend in party identification dating back to the New Deal in the 1930s. Exit polls showed Republicans outnumbering Democrats by 5 points in the AP VoteCast Survey and 4 points in network exit polls, writes Republican Party pollster and political strategist Patrick Ruffini on his Substack webpage, The Intersection, on Tuesday. Until the current election, Republicans only came out even with Democrats during the 1994 "Republican Revolution" and the period just after the 9/11 attacks. READ THE FULL STORY AT NEWSMAX

Documents reveal how George Soros controls prosecutors

By Luke Rosiak | Daily Wire As we prepare to enter the new year, we’re taking you back to some of The Daily Wire’s best reporting from 2024. This article was originally published on August 12.  George Soros and his son, Alex, have spent at least $117 million since 2016 to reshape America’s justice system. They’ve been successful: three in 10 Americans now live under a Soros prosecutor. But the Soroses’ influence doesn’t end on Election Day. After Soros-backed prosecutors take office, the family’s apparatus tells them what to do, documents show. The Media Research Center obtained nearly 8,000 pages of internal documents through public records laws that show how a Soros-funded group called Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP) “directed Soros prosecutors to manipulate th...

Colorado’s open meetings law under fire as lawmakers defend it during required meeting

By Marianne Goodland | Colorado Politics While it has been over nine months since Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill exempting the General Assembly from much of the state's open meetings law, the angst over the lack of transparency resulting from the law is far from having cooled. Even the Colorado Press Association, which had worked to make the bill less onerous, criticized the General Assembly in a hearing Monday on Senate Bill 24-157. The law required legislative leadership to hold the hearing, which the governor signed on March 13, the first day of National Sunshine Week. This week is intended to highlight the importance of public records and open government. READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS

Biden spent one-quarter of his final year on Easy Street as he vacationed or worked remote

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President Joe Biden spent nearly a quarter of his final year in office, 24%, in Delaware, at Camp David or in vacation spots, a Daily Caller review of White House pool reports showed. Biden spent 89 full and partial days out of the White House in 2024, not counting days he was taking foreign trips for official business. The president’s time out of the office increased after he dropped out of the presidential race, spending a total of 46 full or partial days in Delaware, Camp David, St. Croix, Nantucket and California from August to the end of the year. The Caller’s count includes the president’s current trip to St. Croix, which the White House has not released the end date of. In 2023, the president stayed until the second of the next year.

CCP-affiliated hacker breaks into Treasury Department system in ‘major incident’

By Andrea Margolis , Edward Lawrence  | Fox Business An actor affiliated with the Chinese government recently hacked the U.S. Treasury Department in a "major incident," officials announced on Monday. In a letter obtained by FOX Business, the Treasury Department disclosed the incident to Senate Banking Committee leadership. Officials learned of the breach on Dec. 8.  The cybercriminal reportedly gained access to Treasury Department workstations and documents via a security key. "Once Treasury was alerted by the service provider, we immediately contacted Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and have worked with law enforcement partners across the government to ascertain the impact of this incident," the spokesperson said.  READ THE FULL STORY ...

Lucas: Carter’s legacy on election integrity would prompt Democrats to label him ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ today

By Fred Lucas  | Commentary, Daily Signal History remembers Jimmy Carter’s post-presidency more kindly than his presidency for a host of reasons. One could certainly be that as president, Carter didn’t champion election integrity laws–but reforms such as voter ID are nevertheless a lasting part of his legacy.   It was 1977 when a young senator of Carter’s own party–Joe Biden–explained his opposition to a Carter proposal to allow Election Day voter registration. The first-term Delaware Democrat proclaimed, a “reservation I have and one that is apparently shared by some of the top officials within the Department of Justice is that the president’s proposal could lead to a serious increase in vote fraud.” But in 2005, Carter, the 39th president who ...
