Female Tren de Aragua gang member called ‘The Barbie’ is busted for running brutal sex-trafficking ring

By Jennie Taer | New York Post This Barbie is a sex trafficker. A heavily tattooed female Tren de Aragua gang member is accused of running a sex-trafficking operation out of a border town hotel that the gang took over, according to a leaked Border Patrol memo obtained by The Post. At least one victim alleged that Estefania Primera — a Venezuelan illegal migrant who goes by the street name “La Barbie” — drugged her and brought men in to gang-rape her while she was unconscious, court documents said.

Floridians warned Hurricane Milton ready to explode

By Simon Kent | Breitbart Hurricane Milton is closing on Florida’s west coast with landfall expected as a Category 4 hurricane Wednesday night or early Thursday morning as a mass exodus continues. The extreme weather event will arrive as Floridians still work to recover from the devastation unleashed by Hurricane Helene’s impact 12 days ago. AP reports almost the entirety of Florida’s west coast was under a hurricane warning early Tuesday as the storm and its 155 mph winds crept toward the state at nine mph, drawing energy from the Gulf of Mexico’s warm water. In its 1 a.m. CDT Tuesday update, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) placed Milton just north of the Yucatan Peninsula and about 585 miles southwest of Tampa. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Supreme Court to weigh legality of 2022 Biden Administration’s ghost guns rule

By Melissa Quinn | CBS Colorado The Supreme Court will convene Tuesday to consider a challenge to the Biden administration's efforts to regulate untraceable firearms known as ghost guns, as major American cities report the measure seems to have caused a reduction in the use of these weapons within their borders. The court fight involves a 2022 regulation from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that sought to ensure the difficult-to-trace weapons known as ghost guns are subject to the same requirements as commercial firearms sales. The issue before the justices is not whether Second Amendment rights were violated, but rather if the Biden administration went too far when it issued the rule. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

President Biden promotes press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to new top role

By  Lindsay Kornick  | Fox News White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre received a promotion to senior adviser to the president Monday. "Karine has been a trusted advisor to the President and all of us here at the White House since day one. Her counsel will be critical to get as much done as possible for the American people in the coming months," White House chief of staff Jeff Zients told ABC News. ABC News reported Jean-Pierre would begin the role "effective immediately" while still maintaining her job as press secretary. This would be the first time in decades a press secretary has also served as a senior adviser. A White House official also told ABC News how "her promotion shows the faith that Biden has in her, as well as his commitment to having diverse and int...

Forest Service closes Colorado caves to limit spread of bat disease that has killed millions of animals

By Jason Blevins | The Colorado Sun This spring, wildlife biologists found 32 bats on the Front Range with white-nose syndrome, up from one on the Eastern Plains in 2023. This month federal wildlife officials reported the first bat in Utah infected with the syndrome that has killed millions of bats across North America in recent years. “This is definitely a surge. Imagine Colorado is a big rock sitting on a beach and the waves coming in around it are this disease,” said Daniel Neubaum, the species conservation manager dealing with bats for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “That’s what we are seeing. We are probably going to see the disease trickle down from the north and I think the western parts of the state will be the last places we detect it in Colorado.” READ ...

Colorado Supreme Court to hear case on elephants’ rights, captivity at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

A lawsuit filed by the Nonhuman Rights Project will be heard by the court on Oct. 24. "Next friend" refers to a person or organization who represents another party in court. "I was just there yesterday. It's such a small exhibit on the side of the mountain," said Courtney Fern of the NhRP. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

Legislators favor lighter touch to regulating business audits contracted by cities

By Ed Sealover | The Sum & Substance Given the options of taking an aggressive or conservative approach to combatting “trigger audits,” Colorado legislators appear to have chosen the latter. The Sales and Use Tax Simplification Task Force last week unanimously approved a bill for drafting that would require any that any third-party auditors contracted by cities maintain the same confidentiality with collected data that Colorado governments would use. It also will send a letter to the Colorado Department of Revenue calling on it to convene a task force to help increase the number of businesses using the existing SUTS tax-filing system — a change that it believes would boost compliance with state law.

Grabar: Kamala Harris is poised to revive the worst aspects of FDR’s socialist agenda

By Mary Grabar | The Federalist At the Economic Club of Pittsburgh, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris recently said she would “engage in what Franklin Roosevelt called ‘bold, persistent experimentation,’” as he had told the 1932 graduating class at Oglethorpe University. But she did not mention FDR’s vision of “remaking the world,” which included fundamentally changing “our popular economic thought” to see to “a wiser, more equitable distribution of the national income.” Instead, she said she would seek “practical solutions” and even declared, “I am a capitalist.” She said she’s “been working with entrepreneurs and business owners” for her “whole career.” (No one has yet even been able to verify Harris’ job at McDonald’s.) She also professed her b...

The former President has announced a rally in which he will deliver remarks at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11, at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center, 6700 N. Gaylord Rockies Blvd., in Aurora.

"Kamala's border bloodbath has made every state a border state, leaving Colorado families at the mercy of criminals," a press release from the Trump-Vance campaign announcing the appearance reads. "The only solution to stop the border crisis is to elect President Trump, who will secure the border, deport dangerous criminals, and Make America Safe Again." Trump served as the 45th President of ...
