10,000 troops headed to seal the southern border, as Trump shuts down asylum process

By Jamie McIntyre | Washington Examiner TRUMP ‘EXPECTS IMMEDIATE RESULTS’ AT THE BORDER:  Robert Salesses may only be acting secretary of defense for a short time, but he’s acting with dispatch to carry out President Donald Trump’s executive order that “suspends the physical entry of aliens engaged in an invasion of the United States through the southern border.” After a Monday meeting with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and commanders of the U.S. Northern Command, Transportation Command, and National Guard, Salesses established a task force to carry out “expedited implementation” of Trump’s orders to obtain “complete operational control of the southern border of the United States.” “DOD will begin augmenting its forces at the southwest border w...

Trump erases ‘Bidenbucks’ and taxpayer-funded leftist voter registration drives

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist “Bidenbucks” was technically dead on arrival on President Donald Trump’s first day in office, but the election-influencing executive order that Trump’s predecessor signed nearly four years ago will take diligence to fully kill. As David Craig, legal director for the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), told The Federalist, Biden’s order “has substantial tentacles across government.” FGA has been on the frontlines of the battle against Bidenbucks since the executive order’s inception at the beginning of Biden’s term. “The head is cut off the snake but the body continues to slither,” Craig said, noting how deeply embedded Bidenbucks is in every agency, each teeming with left-leaning bureaucrats.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALI...

A fight over 340B, the fed’s program to cut hospitals’ prescription drug costs, is coming to the Colorado Capitol

By John Ingold | The Colorado Sun Colorado is on the verge of a massive fight at the state Capitol over a multibillion-dollar federal health care program you may have never heard of. The program goes by the super-unsexy name of 340B, and it pulls together a battle royale of health care industry heavyweights: hospitals versus pharmaceutical companies versus pharmacies versus insurers. Advocates on various sides of the issue have already started sponsoring panel discussions and buying up ads (one of which appeared this week in The Colorado Sun’s politics newsletter, The Unaffiliated). And that’s before the legislation this fight is all about has even been introduced. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SUN

SB5, the Labor Peace Act overhaul, advances over business complaints

By Ed Sealover | The Sum & Substance Senate Democrats used their first bill hearing of the 2025 legislative session Tuesday to advance a proposed major change to the state’s Labor Peace Act, saying that the 82-year-old “compromise” law is not working for Colorado employees anymore. The 4-3, party-line vote from the Senate Business, Labor & Technology Committee to send Senate Bill 5 to the Appropriations Committee came despite business warnings that erosion of the law will depress the state’s falling economic competitiveness even more. But one of its supporters said he’d like to see business and labor leaders find a compromise — a plea issued before the sides were set for a major negotiating session on Wednesday.

Trump to address globalist elites in Davos with first major foreign policy speech

By Simon Kent | Breitbart President Donald Trump on Thursday will make an online appearance at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, addressing globalist elites with what is expected to be his first major foreign policy announcements. Trump’s virtual appearance before the annual gathering in Switzerland comes after he told Russian President Vladimir Putin via social media he should negotiate over Ukraine immediately, or face what he called taxation, tariffs and sanctions, as Breitbart News reported. The new president’s live video appearance comes with banking and oil industry CEOs given the chance to lob questions at Trump, himself a successful businessman who made his fortune in real estate.

Devotional: Wearing the ‘Armor of Humility’ as a leader

By Drake Hunter | Devotional, Rocky Mountain Voice Genuine confidence can sometimes feel like a rare gem in a world filled with pride and arrogance. Interestingly, leaders in fields like the military, corporate world, education, politics and faith often struggle to find that solid confidence, especially in an age where neglect, individualism and mediocre leadership are too common. In comparison, factors like DNA, experiences, culture and authority shape our confidence only to a point. Still, the deep-rooted convictions of life establish and sustain humility and produce resilience in the long run. In the previous blog, "The Armor of Belief, Truth, and Trust," we discussed how our life is built on those Godly elements that unlock the most potent secret of leadership — humility. R...

If you’re fed up with high egg prices, you’ll like HB25-1074 by Rep. Gonzalez and Sen. Kirkmeyer

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice If you have not yet visited your grocer's refrigerated section in 2025, you're in a for a surprise. The only eggs you will find are cage-free, and they are expensive. There's a reason. House Bill 20-1343, passed nearly five years ago, set forth standards for laying hens and the eggs they produce, of which some harmful consequences are just being realized today. The bill by Western Slope Democrat rancher Sen. Kerry Donovan and Western Slope Democrat attorney Dylan Roberts had bipartisan support from a full flock then of about two-thirds of the Colorado General Assembly, and Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signed the bill. Weld County Rep. Ryan Gonzalez, R-Greeley, and Weld County Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer, R-Brighton, neither of which supported the 2020...
