Cyberattack cripples Nevada state services

By Liam Hibbert | Just the News (The Center Square) - Nevada state government services were still limited Wednesday morning after the discovery of a statewide cyberattack. Emergency services remained open, but many state-run websites and offices were closed Wednesday. The state said it “identified a network security incident” Sunday morning, but did not publicly address the issue until a Tuesday evening memo. In it, the Office of the Governor said it and the Governor’s Technology Office were working around the clock to restore state services. Across Nevada, government employees were placed on administrative leave Monday. While many returned on Tuesday, others were still not back in the office on Wednesday. The Center Square was unable to access the Nevada executive bran...

Clinton email scandal revisited: FBI had its own private server issues

By Steven Richards | Just the News Months after he refused to charge Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election for using a private, unauthorized server to transmit classified information, then-FBI Director James Comey's inner circle used personal email accounts to further a plan to make an "unauthorized disclosure" to journalists, newly declassified memos reveal. When investigators in a criminal probe codenamed "TROPIC VORTEX" sought permission in 2019 to gain access to those private emails, federal prosecutors turned them down, according to the memos recently uncovered by current FBI Director Kash Patel and declassified for release to Congress by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington DC "issued a prosecutorial declination decision for TROPIC VORTEX,"...

Vandalism spree in Uptown Denver garage leaves cars disabled

By Nicole Fierro | Fox 31 DENVER (KDVR) — An entire floor of residents at an uptown apartment complex tells FOX31 they woke up to their tires slashed in their parking garage. Now, residents are left wondering who’s responsible and how they’re going to get around. “I woke up to a phone call and pounding on the door saying, ‘Hey, tires or vehicles have been dealt with and we don’t know who and we don’t know how many,’” one resident said, speaking about how neighbors at the Benedect Park Place woke her up with the news about a series of slashed tires in their garage. From work to doctors’ appointments, residents tell FOX31 they couldn’t get to where they needed to Wednesday morning.  “Now I have four flat tires,” Tanya Hall said. “I can’t even go look for a new j...

Catholic school shooting sparks hate crime probe and national outrage

By Randy DeSoto |The Western Journal Homeland Security Secretary Krisi Noem on Wednesday said the gunman who preyed on Minneapolis Catholic schoolchildren was a self-proclaimed transgender individual, while FBI Director Kash Patel said the incident will be investigated as domestic terrorism. Two children were killed and 17 people — 14 of them children — were wounded in an attack on Annunciation Church in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The shooter, who fired through the church’s windows on Annunciation School children within, later killed himself. “We have confirmation that the shooter at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN was a 23 year-old man, claiming to be transgender,” Noem posted on X. “This deranged monster targeted our most vulnerable: young childr...

Trump-era border policies slash cartel profits by over $1 billion

By Virginia Allen | The Daily Signal https://youtu.be/Z8d60Vm728o?feature=shared EL PASO, Texas—Since the start of 2025, border security measures have cost the Mexican cartels more than $1 billion, according to estimates by the El Paso Sector of the Border Patrol in Texas. “We’re hurting them in the pocketbook,” interim Border Patrol Chief for the El Paso Sector Walter Slosar tells The Daily Signal.   In recent years, Slosar says he can recall days when as many as 2,700 illegal aliens were arriving at the border daily, but now, Border Patrol is encountering about 40 illegal aliens a day in the El Paso Sector, which includes the two westernmost counties in Texas—Hudspeth and El Paso—and all of New Mexico.    The criminal cartels control much of the ...

Trans propaganda merch embraced by Democrat officials and activists calls to ‘protect trans kids’ and kill ‘fascists’

By Katie Daviscourt | The Post Millennial Calls for trans persons to arm themselves along with shirts showing weapons and emblazoned with the words "protect trans kids" have been cited. Democratic officials and leftist activists have been encouraging an apparent surge in trans violence across the nation, critics claim. One recurring element in discussions is apparel and stickers featuring the slogan "Protect Trans Kids," often paired with images of rifles, knives, or other weapons.  While some left-wing trans activists argue that such merchandise symbolizes a strong defense of transgender youth amid anti-child mutilation legislation, critics interpret them as implicit threats or calls to violence. Some of this merch also feature the lines, “Trans rights ... or else” paired with gu...

Doing the math on the cost of mail-in voting after 25 years

By Capt. Seth Keshel | Commentary, Captain K's Corner, Substack A statistical guide to the impacts of mail-in voting and why Democrats will make it their hill to die on. It appears, based on his recent statements, that President Trump is likely to take executive action targeting mail-in ballots and perhaps other deficiencies and disenfranchising items present in the American system of elections. As a former intelligence officer, my mind moves immediately to thinking like how the enemy thinks, and in this case, those enemies will be representatives of states that run quasi-elections tainted by mail-in balloting, which is always accompanied by ballot harvesting (whether legal or not), pushed out to an ever-expanding list of registrations polluted by Automatic Voter Registration. As ...

Don’t buy The Sun’s spin: TABOR isn’t the reason Colorado’s roads are failing, it’s lawmakers’ misplaced priorities

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project The Sun's Gigafact check tries, but fails spectacularly. The Sun has been doing yeoman's work lately to get the progressive talking points on our state's budget and TABOR out there. Their Gigafact check linked first below is a great example.In answer to the question, "Has the condition of Colorado’s roads worsened under TABOR?", their response is a resounding YES.Let me pull some non-contiguous quotes. As a quick aside, the amount of text below is about 50% of the entire text in the fact check, a point I will return to shortly."The percentage of state roads in Colorado rated “poor” by the Federal Highway Administration has risen from 8% to 24% since the agency began collecting data in 1994, two years after the Taxpayer’...

When Violence Targets Conservatives, the Media Looks Away

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The nation is reeling after the tragic shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school. Two children are dead, more than a dozen are injured, and the community is shattered. Investigators have identified the shooter as Robin M. Westman, and disturbing evidence has already surfaced: weapons scrawled with political messages, including “Kill Donald Trump.” This fact should dominate headlines. Yet it will not. The corporate press will bury it, sanitize it, or frame it around mental illness and gun control. What they will not do is admit what the evidence shows: a politically motivated act of violence targeting conservatives. Why? Because the media knows the truth - that the Left has incubated more political violence than the Righ...

Swift, Rocky, and Oz: What Stories Teach Us About Being Human

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, RMV NE CO Newsroom, Rocky Mountain Voice Yesterday morning’s Today show lineup truly felt like it was straight out of a movie, with the charming romance between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift (Sincerely, CONGRATULATIONS!), a heartfelt nod to Rocky's classic resilience (my go-to movie), and a stunning reimagining of The Wizard of Oz at The Sphere in Las Vegas (the four characters I highlight when teaching temperament). But then, suddenly, came a jarring headline about shots fired at Annunciation Catholic Church, a place of worship and community (an understanding of “Annunciation” follows this piece).  The incident, which resulted in [2 deaths & 17 injuries as of this writing], shook us to our core and reminded us of the fragility of life.
