Trump slams ‘communist’ persecution of conservatives while speaking at DOJ

By  Logan Washburn | The Federalist The Department of Justice was persecuting Donald Trump with sham trials just last year. But today, now-President Trump spoke at the DOJ, calling out the “communist” federal persecution of conservatives. “They tried to turn America into a corrupt communist and Third World country, but in the end, the thugs failed and the truth won. Freedom won, justice won, democracy won, and above all, the American people won,” Trump said. “There could be no more heinous betrayal of American values than to use the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the wicked.” A “corrupt group of hacks and radicals” in the federal government “weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people,” Tru...

Trump says Biden’s autopen pardons are ‘void, vacant and of no further force or effect,’ vows probe of Jan. 6 House select committee

By Richard Pollina | New York Post President Trump said early Monday that he was voiding all the last-minute pardons former President Joe Biden made using autopen. “The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” Trump posted on Truth Social early Monday morning. “In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!” he said of the oldest-ever president and concerns at his age-related mental abilities at 82.

Bill to add 15 judges heads to Colorado governor’s desk

By Michael Karlik | Colorado Politics Legislation to add 15 new judgeships in trial courts across the state is headed to the governor's desk for signature, as Colorado's House of Representatives approved the bill on Thursday with no votes in opposition. Senate Bill 24 is the Judicial Department's top legislative priority, and was originally intended to add 29 new judgeships over a two-year period. Three of those would have gone to the Court of Appeals, and the remaining positions were earmarked for various trial courts. However, due to budgetary concerns, lawmakers scaled back the bill to add just 15 new seats over the next two years. "We are grateful to the bill sponsors and the General Assembly for moving this bill through the legislative process, especially ...

White: Trump’s ‘Office Of Shipbuilding’ might be just what America needs to revive its power on high seas

By Wallace White | Daily Caller, Commentary While America’s maritime power has been left to languish and China’s influence on the high seas continues to grow, experts say President Donald Trump’s new “Office of Shipbuilding” is a crucial first step to the U.S. regaining its naval prowess. Trump announced in his joint address to Congress in March that he would create the office with the intent to revive both commercial and military shipbuilding in the United States. America finds itself in dire straits in maritime power as the manufacturing base continues to shrink while China continues to outpace the U.S., with experts telling the Daily Caller News Foundation that Beijing’s dominance poses serious national security risks.

The new Robert De Niro show is elite propaganda

By River Page | The Free Press The year was 2012, and I was 16, watching Mitt Romney debate Barack Obama on TV with my stepdad, a log truck driver who’d raised me since the age of five—and whose verdict was this: “It don’t matter anyhow.” He said it, spitting his Copenhagen longcut into a Dr. Pepper can. “They already decided who’s gonna win anyway.” He didn’t say who they were, but he didn’t need to. I’d heard the specter of they invoked my whole life by friends and family in our small East Texas town. They were planning to take away our guns. They shipped our jobs overseas. They wanted everyone to stop using cash to track our every movement. And of course, they killed Kennedy. Americans are conspiratorial. Sixty-five percent of us believe that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act ...

Bill to stop growing number of grocers from selling booze passes key House committee

By David Migoya | Denver Gazette The unanimous vote virtually assures a smooth path for legislation that would put hard brakes on the quickly expanding sale of spirits outside of local liquor stores. Colorado’s independent liquor stores won a resounding victory Thursday as a state House committee unanimously approved a bill that would freeze any increase to the number of grocery stores selling hard booze. The House Business Affairs and Labor Committee passed Senate Bill 25-33 by a 13-0 bipartisan vote, virtually assuring a smooth path for legislation that would put hard brakes on the quickly expanding sale of spirits outside of local liquor stores. After already passing the Senate largely un-amended, the bill faces a hearing before the House committee on appropriation...

Zeldin: Trump administration to rewrite WOTUS rule

By Jerry Hagstrom | The Fence Post Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced today that EPA will work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to revise the definition of the Waters of the United States. At a news conference surrounded by Republican members of Congress, Zeldin said that the Trump administration wants to write a revised definition that “follows the law, reduces red tape, cuts overall permitting costs, and lowers the cost of doing business in communities across the country while protecting the nation’s navigable waters from pollution.” Zeldin said that the Trump administration wants to write a practical rule that will follow the Supreme Court’s decision in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency and not be a “ping pong” in court decisio...
