Idaho Springs police revisit cold case of teenager Beth Miller 42 years after disappearance

By Spencer Wilson | CBS Colorado A Colorado mountain missing persons case for a teenage girl has been cold for 42 years, but there is renewed effort to learn what happened since her disappearance happened decades ago.  Beth Miller was 14 years old when she went missing from Idaho Springs. Investigators believe she went for a jog and never returned home to her family in the small mountain town. Now, Idaho Spring Police Department is revisiting one of the cases that's haunted its community for decades.  Sgt. Ryan Frost took the case after the chief of police said it was going to be a priority for them to get some answers.

Is Senate Bill 3 already on death’s door? Anti-gun bill had to be laid over again in Senate

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Senate Bill 25-003, the much-maligned bill that some have said would make Colorado the most anti-gun state in the country, can't seem to get the support it needs to clear the Democrat-controlled state Senate. Support for the bill appeared to have collapsed again Friday before a second reading and preliminary vote, as it was laid over until Feb. 13. The bill was introduced Jan. 8, cleared by a Democrat-led committee Jan. 28 and Friday was laid over for the second time. If passed, SB 3, led by Democrat Sens. Tom Sullivan and Julie Gonzales and sponsored by Democrat Reps. Andrew Boesenecker and Meg Froelich, explicitly prohibits the manufacture, distribution, transfer, sale and purchase of common-use, gas-operated semi-auto rifles or shotguns an...

Bessent sets the record straight on ‘misinformation’ about DOGE’s work

By Leah Barkoukis | TownHall Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday addressed the "misinformation" being circulated about the work the Department of Government Efficiency is doing. In an interview with Bloomberg, Bessent said he vetted the Treasury employees tasked with accessing federal payment data, noting they have read-only access and are not “tinkering” with payment systems in any way. “It is an operational review. It is not an ideological review,” Bessent told Saleha Mohsin, according to Bloomberg. “The ability to change the system sits over at the Federal Reserve. We don’t even run the system.”  READ THE FULL STORY ON TOWNHALL

NCAA changes rules to ban biological men from women’s sports

By Jack Birle | Washington Examiner The NCAA announced Thursday that it would change its rules to ban biological males from women’s sports, a day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s sports. Trump’s order called on the federal government to bar transgender women – people who are biologically male – from competing in women’s sports, restricting the category to biological women only. A day after the president’s order, the NCAA Board of Governors voted to update its policy on transgender student-athletes, limiting women’s competitions only to include “student-athletes assigned female at birth only.” “The NCAA is an organization made up of 1,100 colleges and universities in all 50 states that col...

U.S. Unemployment Rate Falls To 4.0%, Economy Added 143,000 Jobs In January

By John Carney | Breitbart Employers in the United States added 143,000 workers to their payrolls in January, the Department of Labor said Friday, and the unemployment rate slipped to 4.0 percent.
