Colorado veterinary professional associate bill sparks debate among advocates and critics

By Marissa Ventrelli | Colorado Politics Advocates argue that a bill establishing implementation procedures for the newly created veterinary professional associate position includes provisions that contradict the intent of what Colorado voters approved in Proposition 129 in November. House Bill 1285, sponsored by Reps. Karen McCormick, D-Hygiene, and Sens. Cathy Kipp, D-Fort Collins, and Byron Pelton, R-Sterling, tasks Colorado's Board of Veterinary Medicine with adopting rules regarding the education, accreditation, and scope of practice for veterinary professional associates. This is a first-of-its-kind position established through Proposition 129, which passed with nearly 53% of the vote in last year’s election. The bill passed in an 11-1 vote, with Rep. Mandy Lindsay, D-Aurora...

AG Bondi calls attacks on Tesla facilities ‘domestic terrorism’ after two more dealerships targeted

By UPI | Breitbart Attorney General Pam Bondi called a spate of recent attacks targeting Tesla facilities and vehicles “domestic terrorism” Tuesday evening, after two dealerships were the victims of arson overnight. Tesla vehicles and property have increasingly become targets of public backlash since its chief executive officer, Elon Musk, has been leading a controversial reshaping of the federal government through his Department of Government Efficiency.

McCann: The founders provided remedies for a runaway judiciary

By Steve McCann | American Thinker, Commentary Recently a gaggle of rogue U.S. District Court judges have issued numerous restraining orders and opinions aimed at curtailing, and in some cases overturning, the constitutional authority of President Trump as the head of the executive branch of government. There have been a series of court orders that rival the most egregious judicial decisions in American history, virtually all of which dramatically undermine constitutional separation of powers as well the sovereignty of this nation. What the country is witnessing is the culmination of many decades of ever-expanding judicial activism and the cowardice of the Congress to exert its prerogative to rein in this runaway usurpation of political power. The matter of the supremacy and influ...

Devotional: Adoption, the inheritance stored in God’s eternal trust fund

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Imagine this: God’s promises are like a special trust fund—a wonderful gift from a loving Parent. This trust fund isn’t about what we do or how much we achieve; it’s all about His endless grace.  Think of it as our eternal inheritance, a beautiful treasure we receive when we become part of God’s family through faith in Jesus Christ.  Here’s the comforting part: to really enjoy everything God has to offer, we just need to learn how to tap into this divine trust fund. When we do, He can bless us with even more treasures, filling up the heavenly bank account we’re building for eternity!

Chief Justice scolds Trump over call to impeach Federal Judge in deportation case: ‘Not an appropriate response’

By  David Zimmermann | National Review Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement on Tuesday pushing back on President Donald Trump after he called for the impeachment of an Obama-appointed judge, who temporarily blocked the Republican administration from invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan illegal immigrants associated with the Tren de Aragua gang. “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.” Earlier in the day, Trump blasted U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of Washington, D.C., as a “troublemaker” and “agitator” who wasn’t elected in an “overwhelming mandate” by the...

Putin agrees to incremental, temporary ceasefire while Trump seeks more ties with Russia in phone call

The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infr...
