Trump shakes hands with Pence, chats with Obama at Carter funeral

By Naomi Lim | Washington Examiner President-elect Donald Trump and his former vice president, Mike Pence, were reunited for the first time since January, 2021 at the funeral of the late Jimmy Carter.

Carter died last month at the age of 100. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Rescue Mission employee allegedly stole up to $20,000 from residents

By Ashley Eberhardt | Fox 21 News Arrest documents are revealing more information about thefts from residents of the Pueblo Rescue Mission (PRM) that total anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000. According to the arrest affidavit for a former employee of PRM, Lori Arabie, Arabie was working as a director at the Mission and was allegedly the only one with access to a safe in her office where residents’ cash was stored. The documents reveal that the Mission’s treasurer was informed in September by the executive director that a large sum of money, between $10,000 and $20,000 of residents’ cash, was stored on-site. The treasurer was shocked because that posed a large liability risk. The treasurer was under the assumption that petty cash was kept on-site, but not as much money as was reporte...

‘We need our roads fixed’: ‘Peltonia’ Sen. Byron Pelton opens 75th session with reminder for Gov. Polis

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Sen. Byron Pelton, R-Sterling, claims to have already been at work for his constituency as the 75th General Assembly opened Wednesday. Luckily, for Pelton, he ran into Gov. Jared Polis, and offered a gentle nudge, as Pelton — who claims to be from a place called "Peltonia" — is apt to do. "The governor was talking to his transportation team and I reminded him that, in rural Colorado, where most of the money is generated in this state — $47 billion of agriculture money — that we need our roads fixed, especially in Senate District 1," Pelton said. It should not be a foreign subject to the governor. Pelton's predecessor in District 1, Jerry Sonnenberg, once famously said: "We have potholes so big you better be wearing your spurs to hang on." ...

Minority Leader Pugliese pledges Republicans will find solutions for all Coloradans in 75th session

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice When Rose Pugliese left behind her children to begin the 75th General Assembly in Denver, as children will do she was asked why she did the job of Colorado House minority leader.

The 75th legislative session officially opened at 10:09 a.m. Wednesday in the Colorado House. Pugliese addressed the House as the minority leader following the Speaker's election. "This session, the House Republicans remain steadfast in addressing the issues of importance to Coloradans," she said. "Affordability remains at the forefront of our discussions.

Trump rips Gavin Newsom over poor resource management during fires

By Ryan Saavedra | Daily Wire President-elect Donald Trump slammed California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom on Wednesday for his poor management of the state’s resources, saying he has contributed to the scale of the fires that have rapidly spread throughout Los Angeles County over the last 24 hours. “Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way,” Trump published on social media. “He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but didn’t care about th...
