RFK, Jr. kicks off Independent petition drive to get on Colorado ballot at Aurora rally

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told supporters at a rally in Aurora on Sunday that his candidacy can unite a deeply divided country by focusing on what unites Americans. "Do you want a president who's going to make Americans forget that they're Democrats and forget that they're Republicans, and remember that we are all Americans?" Kennedy asked a cheering crowd of more than a thousan people, who packed a converted airplane hangar at Stanley Marketplace. "That's why you're here today. I'm going to do that for this country." The environmental attorney and scion of one of the country's most famous political families said that reelecting either President Joe Biden or former President Trump to another term won't bring the c...

Understanding the complexity of Colorado’s rainwater collection laws

By Justin George | The Colorado Sun Colorado allows rainwater collection on private property but limits who can collect it, how much they can collect and how it can be used, according to the Colorado Division of Water Resources. You cannot collect water if you live in an apartment or condominium building with more than four units. You can own up to two rain barrels to catch water, but cannot store more than 110 gallons at a time. Lids are required to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. Collected water can only be used for “outside” purposes such as lawn and garden maintenance, car washing, livestock watering and hot tub filling. It cannot be used indoors or as drinking water.

Did you know the alligator from ‘Happy Gilmore’ lives in Colorado?

By Maddie Rhodes | Fox 31 KDVR.com “Happy Gilmore 2” is coming to Netflix soon, but you won’t see all of the original cast. The alligator that stole Adam Sandler’s golf ball in the almost 30-year-old film won’t be on set – he’s living out his retirement in Mosca, Colorado. Talks of a sequel to “Happy Gilmore” have been making the rounds in recent months with Sandler letting slip that he was “working on some stuff” for “Happy 2” on the Dan Patrick Show in April. While hints of the film have been released, not much else is known about the sequel, other than the alligator accused of biting off Carl Weathers’ hand and wresting Sandler for the golf ball in the first movie won’t be making another appearance.

Peacock: House Republicans should heed Texas’ warning on dangers of Democrat-Driven ‘Bipartisanship’

By BILL PEACOCK | The Federalist It appears the U.S. House of Representatives has entered an era of unprecedented bipartisan cooperation. Within the last month, a rare coalition of Democrats and Republicans voted to approve a rule to advance foreign aid to Ukraine and defeat a motion to vacate the chair and oust Speaker Mike Johnson from his office. In the past, the Democrats have relished voting against the Republican House leadership while watching the corporate media blame “hard-right conservatives [for] throwing the House and its Republican leadership into chaos.” With the recent votes, it is clear something has changed in the Democrats’ approach. It is doubtful, though, that the change includes supporting a more conservative agenda. So before getting too c...

Alice Stewart, veteran of GOP campaign trail and ’16 Ted Cruz comms director before CNN, has died

By Matt Vespa | TownHall.com CNN was rocked by the news of the tragic passing of Alice Stewart on Saturday. Stewart was one of the few conservative voices on the network. Though she had voted for the former president, she wasn't a die-hard Trump supporter, often described as a straight-shooter, civil, professional, and kind among her colleagues. Stewart was a veteran of political campaigns, serving as communications director for Michele Bachman, Rick Santorum, and Mike Huckabee’s presidential campaigns. Her most recent gig on the campaign trail was for Ted Cruz’s 2016 bid. Around that time, she was hired as a commentator for CNN and co-hosted a podcast with noted liberal Maria Cardona. Ms. Cardona expressed shock at the loss of her friend, adding that they were scheduled to record...

Rising price to eat out is ‘benefiting our business’, Walmart CEO says

By Jena Warburton | The Street If it feels like every time you visit the grocery store you part with a little bit more of your emotional well-being each time, you're probably not alone.  Plenty of goods and staples – food included – are more expensive than they were one year ago, or even one month ago.  The Consumer Price Index shows that, in April, prices increased by 0.3% from March. The CPI ticked up 3.4% on a 12-month basis, about in line with expectations but certainly showing no signs that inflation is coming down anytime soon.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE STREET

Seize the Grey denies Derby winner Mystik Dan in Preakness, dashes hopes for Triple Crown

By ESPN News D. Wayne Lukas worked his way to Seize the Grey after his horse won the Preakness Stakes and kept getting interrupted by well-wishers offering congratulations. "I think they're trying to get rid of me," Lukas, 88, said. "They probably want me to retire. I don't think that'll happen." Not when the Hall of Fame trainer keeps winning big-time races. Seize the Grey ended Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan's Triple Crown bid Saturday by going wire to wire to win the Preakness, giving Lukas his seventh victory in the race, one short of the record held by his good friend Bob Baffert.

After closing 48 locations, signs of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing exist for Red Lobster chain

By Daniel Kline | The Street The big food court in the sky, or maybe it's a downtown entertainment district, features a lot of restaurants that once had a big following. You may not remember them all, but some brands that were once huge, fell into irrelevancy and then went away. Howard Johnson's, for example, used to be a staple of a road trip. If you couldn't find a HoJo's perhaps you would stop at a Big Boy, another chain that was once prominent. In addition, sometimes there are restaurant chains that maybe were never that well-liked but were still a big deal. Fashion Cafe and the Official All-Star Cafe were meant to reproduce the magic of the Hard Rock Cafe or Planet Hollywood but they never caught on. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE STREET

Biden, Trump don’t even agree on crypto, with Trump saying he’s in support, Biden opposed

By The Street Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has recently signaled an about face on the digital assets industry, promising to support crypto in the U.S. during a recent campaign event and offering a stark contrast to apparent hostility from the Biden administration. “If you’re in favor of crypto you’re gonna vote for Trump because they want to end it,” Trump said recently.  Long-time advocates and investors in the space have decried harsh legislation from the Biden administration and Gary Gensler’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For instance, the White House recently vowed to veto legislation that could allow regulated financial firms to custody digital assets. Now, crypto-focused voters have reason to believe that Trump would offer a friend...
