Colorado Parks & Wildlife vows to do better job at Rd. 2 of wolf reintroduction starting in January

By Tracy Ross | The Colorado Sun Colorado Parks and Wildlife is vowing to do a better job at wolf reintroduction ahead of the planned release of 15 gray wolves from British Columbia starting in January.  That’s according to a joint news release by CPW and the Colorado Department of Agriculture in which CPW director Jeff Davis said “staff and partners have been working hard, learning and adapting through the first year of restoration in Colorado” and that they’re “coming back with a stronger conflict minimization program” for the well-being of ranchers, their livestock and wolves.  The assurance comes during a time of pushback on the Colorado wolf program and the agency in charge of managing not only wolves but hundreds of other wildlife species in the state.  READ THE...

‘If you want the truth, seek the truth’: Mesa Co. Clerk Gross responds to article allegations

By Jen Schumann | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice  Tina Peters, the former Mesa County Clerk and a Gold Star mother with a clean prior record, has now served two months of a nine-year prison sentence. She was found guilty on seven charges related to the unlawful access she granted to the county's election system. Recent open-record requests published by The Gateway Pundit reveal an alleged conflict of interest: while facing political persecution for investigating possible election data manipulation by the secretary of state and Dominion Voting Systems, Clerk Peters was unknowingly working alongside county officials who were also Dominion contractors. The Gateway Pundit article raised questions about whether the public knew that county officials and employees were also wo...

Hegseth, Trump’s Sec. of Defense pick, is ‘good man, committed to America’, U.S. Rep.-elect Crank says

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice While half of the eight Coloradans in the U.S. House are Republican, when it comes down to a vote on confirming President Donald J. Trump's nominees, it is unlikely anyone can depend on one from Colorado senators. "There are lots of Republicans who voted to confirm all or most of Joe Biden's cabinet, and that's the way it should work," said new U.S. Rep.-elect Jeff Crank, a Republican, of Colorado Springs' 5th District during an appearance on the Dan Caplis Show. https://twitter.com/jeffcrank/status/1864718732997841189 He is joined in the U.S. House by Republican U.S. Reps. Lauren Boebert (4th District), Gabe Evans (8th District) and Jeff Hurd (3rd District). The U.S. Senate holds the advise and consent approval power over nominees, mean...

RFK, Jr., could do what Michelle Obama actually promised: Healthy lunches for low-income students

By  Dr. Naydeen González De Jesús | Daily Wire On February 9, 2010, Michelle Obama unveiled her ambitious initiative to combat childhood obesity through her “Let’s Move!” campaign, aiming to empower children and reduce obesity rates. The CDC reports that 1 in 5 children in the U.S. suffer from obesity which prompted President Obama to pass the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. This law aimed to promote healthier diets with mandated minimum servings of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting sugar, fat, and sodium. However, the program fell short of its goals and inadvertently exacerbated the problems it sought to address. The focus of her campaign was not only to ensure that our nation’s children are being fed but also fed healthy food throug...

Democrats reject audit of Colorado Secretary of State’s password breach

By Marianne Goodland | Colorado Politics Just hours after a third party investigation found the Secretary of State's Office "unintentionally" violated policy in posting a spreadsheet with election equipment passwords, Democrats on the Colorado General Assembly's Legislative Audit Committee rejected calls for an audit of that breach. The committee is evenly between Democrats and Republicans; hence, the potential for a tie vote. And the panel killed the proposal along party lines, with Democrats balking at the request and Republicans supporting it. The committee voted, 4-4, dooming the audit request.   READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS

Lone Tree police investigating increase in crash-and-grab home burglaries

By Rachel Saurer | Fox 31 News Over the past several weeks, the Lone Tree Police Department has seen an increase in home burglaries. In each case, suspects have gained access to the houses by breaking large windows or sliding glass doors on the rear of the house before leaving with cash, high-dollar purses, jewelry and other items. The houses generally back up to commercial property, open space, or a golf course, and as of yet, no one has been home at the time, which police said is the one positive. “That’s the bigger fear of the whole thing right, if that ever happened you know what’s the outcome of that going to be?” Lone Tree Police Chief Kirk Wilson said.

Matt Gaetz to anchor One America News Network show

By Jenny Goldsberry | Washington Examiner Former Rep. Matt Gaetz is taking on an anchor role with One America News Network. The Matt Gaetz Show will be coming soon, according to OAN’s website. This comes after Gaetz resigned from the House of Representatives last month when President-elect Donald Trump named Gaetz as his first choice to be the next attorney general. The congressman withdrew himself from consideration eight days later when it became clear he wouldn’t have support from at least 51 senators to be confirmed in the role. OAN is broadcast via 85 stations across the country in addition to its own streaming app. Its cast of anchors was relatively unknown before joining the network. OAN originally existed among DirecTV’s channels until AT&T, its par...

‘You are here to serve’: As Colorado’s pension costs grow, some PERA members say its board isn’t listening

By Brian Eason | The Colorado Sun Months before five Colorado school districts took the drastic step of suing the state pension plan, their elected representative tried to bring their concerns to the Public Employees’ Retirement Association Board of Trustees. “We (the Board) rarely hear from people in the field about how PERA staff decisions affect their organizations,” Scott Smith — a PERA board trustee at the time — wrote in a November 2023 email to school administrators. “If you have issues or concerns with any recent PERA staff decisions, I would encourage you to sign up for public comment.” The exercise got the board’s attention — just not the way Smith intended.

FBI director Wray prepares to resign, does not want to be fired

By Wendell Husebo | Breitbart FBI Director Christopher Wray does not want to be fired and will resign before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office, sources inside the bureau who are familiar with the director’s thinking told the Washington Times. Trump, who originally hired Wray but grew dissatisfied with him after years of weaponizing the bureau, such as raiding Mar-a-Lago, recently nominated Kash Patel as a replacement. Wray is among President Joe Biden’s allies that Democrat and media supporters believe should receive a preemptive pardon. White House lawyers are studying pardons, reports indicate, which would appear to project an admission of guilt. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART
