Colorado Gas Stove Labeling Law Faces Court Challenge

By Anusha Roy | Denver7 DENVER — The debate over the gas stove inside your home is headed to court. Lawmakers passed a new Colorado law requiring safety labels on new gas stoves being sold. The law would require labels in both English and Spanish. Advocates say this would help people understand the impact of gas stoves on the air quality inside their homes. On the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) website, the agency shared: “There is evidence that particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde, and methane can be released into indoor air from gas stoves.1" "According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollutants can build up to levels that may affect people’s health if the spa...

Law tied sheriff’s hands as violent suspect walked free in Weld County

By Marissa Ventrelli | Colorado Politics eld County Sheriff Steve Reams says a 2024 law required him to release a man who had been charged with attempted murder stemming from an incident in Greeley earlier this year. According to Reams, 21-year-old Debisa Ephraim was arrested in April and charged with second-degree attempted murder following an altercation between him and another man that had been captured on video. The victim suffered a brain injury and spent a “substantial” amount of time in the hospital and rehabilitation, but Reams says he is now mostly recovered. Ephraim, a refugee from Tanzania who had a previous record of violent behavior, had been detained in the Weld County Jail for several months when his defense team asked the court to determine whether he was compet...

FBI sources say Biden shielded Burisma probe to protect Hunter

By Beth Brelje | The Federalist The outrageous connections described in these newly released documents scream to be fully explained to the American people. While he was vice president, Joe Biden stepped onto taxpayer-funded Air Force 2, traveled to Ukraine, and conducted personal business with Ukraine’s then-President Petro Poroshenko. He was there “to protect the interests of Hunter Biden,” according to documents released Tuesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the oversight of the FBI. The new documents strengthen the information in previously released records. Last Congress, Grassley released FBI 1023 records — statements from confidential sources — alleging that when Biden was vice president, executives for Ukrainian gas...

Education funds drained by bureaucrats while kids fall behind

By Post Editorial Board | Commentary, New York Post If you think spending more money on America’s schools will lead to greater student achievement, guess again: A new analysis of 12,000-plus school districts shows just the opposite. Not only does more spending not correlate with better student performance, turns out it coincides with moderately worse performance. The public-policy watchdog Open the Books looked at payroll growth at 12,531 public-school districts from 2019 to 2023, and compared it to the percentage change in the district rankings on the National Assessment of Educational Progress exams, the gold standard for measuring reading and math proficiency of fourth and eighth graders. Guess what: The greater the payroll growth, the more...

Loveland Family Outraged After Charlie Kirk Memorial Burned

By Shaul Turner | KDVR Fox31 LOVELAND, Colo. (KDVR) – A Loveland family is speaking out after the burning of their memorial to Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on Sept. 10, during an event at Utah Valley University.

On Tuesday, the Loveland Police Department reported that they had arrested a suspect, David Hunt Gilroy, 64, who faces second-degree arson and resisting arrest charges in connection with the incident. “It’s a sign like are you kidding me, for a man that was wrongfully shot,” the father told FOX31.

Campaign Signs for Elizabeth School Board Defaced With Hate Symbols

By Anna Coon | KDVR Fox31 ELBERT, Colo. (KDVR) — Three candidates for the Elizabeth School Board woke up Tuesday to a disturbing sight: their campaign signs had been vandalized. David Fletcher, a current school board member and one of the candidates whose sign was defaced, said he wasn’t surprised to see the damage. The signs, which he shares with two other conservative candidates, were all marked with swastikas early Tuesday morning. “I think that they are just some people that are filled with hate,” Fletcher said. “Who knew I was going to be painted as a Nazi just for running for school board?” Fletcher says tensions in the local political scene have likely increased due to the district’s ongoing court battle with the ACLU over books it tried to remove from school libraries. ...

ABC Drops Jimmy Kimmel After Cruel Joke About Charlie Kirk

By Rob Bluey | Commentary, The Daily Signal Jimmy Kimmel is off the air. Good riddance. The vile and disgusting ABC late-night host used his Monday night monologue to make this comment about Charlie Kirk’s assassin (emphasis added): “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” Yes, you read that correctly. And to make matters worse, Kimmel then proceeded to play a video mocking President Donald Trump and suggesting that he wasn’t grieving over Kirk’s death. This is apparently the sad and pathetic state of late-night comedy in 2025. It’s no wonder Americans are turning off has-been comedi...

Families Offer $10,000 Reward as Two Hunters Remain Missing in Rugged Colorado Wilderness

By Tracy Ross | The Colorado Sun Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko sent their last communication Sept. 11. Porter’s fiancée says they are experienced, but whatever happened “depends on if they were in sound mind, if they were disoriented or panicked, or if they were hypothermic.” A search is on for two experienced elk hunters who went missing in the Rio Grande National Forest in Conejos County on Sept. 11, and the fiancée of one is imploring people with experience hunting, hiking or traveling by horse in the rugged terrain on the New Mexico border north of Chama to head to the Rio de Los Pinos trailhead or surrounding area to help search. Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko, both 25, were last heard from Thursday afternoon at around 2:45 p.m. when Porter shared his location with his fiancée, ...
