Incoming Denver DA to get pay bump to oversee 6,000 felony, nearly 8,000 misdemeanor cases each year

By Deborah Grigsby  | Colorado Politics, via Denver Gazette Incoming Denver District Attorney John Walsh hasn’t even been sworn in and he’s already set to get a pay raise — although he’ll have to wait a year before it shows up in his bank account. In its last meeting of the year on Monday, the Denver City Council voted, 9-2, to approve an amended version of his plea for an annual pay increase for his office. Walsh first brought the request to the Dec. 4 Safety, Housing, Education & Homelessness Committee, where he asked for a 4% annual pay raise beginning next year, which would have placed his starting salary at $254,609 instead of $244,816. He said he had to ask for a pay raise now — otherwise, that window is foreclosed for the next four years. READ THE FULL STORY AT COLOR...

Trump not only won election, he won the ‘lawfare war’

By Judicial Watch Pundits and historians will be a long time sorting out the magnitude of Donald Trump’s electoral victory but one thing already is clear: Trump not only triumphed in the presidential contest, he also won the lawfare war. The latter—a victory for the constitutional foundation of the country —may prove as consequential as the former. “Lawfare” is political war fought by other means: partisan warfare conducted in the courts and the media. Trump spent the entire Biden presidency battling lawfare cases brought by  Democrat-allied prosecutors and judges—by Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, New York State Attorney General Letitia James, New York judges Juan Merchan and Arthur ...

Liberals lose their minds as border czar Tom Homan unveils ‘cruel’ new mass deportation plan

By STEPHEN M. LEPORE | Daily Mail Liberals have gone into meltdown after Donald Trump's border chief confirmed that illegal immigrant families with children will be held in detention centers. Tom Homan, who will oversee Trump's mass deportation plan, was unsparing in a recent interview with the Washington Post, telling the publication that the onus was on the parents of the children. 'You knew you were in the country illegally and chose to have a child. So you put your family in that position,' Homan said as he defended using detention centers.

Major changes coming to Social Security regardless of Trump’s presence

By Emily Hallas | Washington Examiner In the spirit of the season, the  Washington Examiner has identified 12 issues we believe will shape and influence 2025 and beyond. The incoming Trump administration has made the fight against illegal immigration and the use of tariffs its flagship policy items. The U.S. will also possibly undergo a health revolution, while very real questions need to be answered on everything from Social Security reform to the military to the changing landscape of the energy sector. Part 3 is on Social Security. Retirees make up a larger proportion of citizens than ever before after birth rates have sunk to historic lows over the past few years, hitting below the replacement rate that is needed to sustain the United States’s population.  Nearly 73 million peo...

China rapidly builds up weapons and psychological warfare operations

By Chuck DeVore | The Federalist China’s military buildup and cognitive warfare strategy are clear indications of its intent to defeat the U.S. and its allies by any means necessary. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is undertaking an unprecedented military buildup aimed at challenging America and its allies, particularly in the Indo-Pacific. And, like Nazi Germany’s buildup in the 1930s, the militarization program ordered by the Chinese Communist Party isn’t simply a great power buildup — it’s a weapon in service of a deadly ideology. The 2024 Department of Defense China Military Power Report and recent analysis by Bill Gertz in the Washington Times reveal this buildup as part of a broader strategy by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to position itself as a global superpower....

Guatemalan migrant accused of torching sleeping woman on NYC subway indicted  on murder and arson charges

By Georgett Roberts and Ronny Reyes | New York Post The illegal immigrant accused of torching a sleeping woman on a Brooklyn subway train was officially indicted in court for murder and arson on Friday morning.   Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, 33, an undocumented migrant from Guatemala, waived his appearance in court as he was indicted on first and second degree murder and one count of arson for the horrifying Sunday killing aboard the F train. The accused firebug allegedly approached the sleeping woman, who was so badly burnt she has yet to be identified, and ignited her clothes, with video showing him fanning the flames as it engulfed her, officials said.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Some areas of the state saw from a trace to half-a-foot of snowfall on Christmas day

By Maddie Rhodes | Fox 31 News Even though Denver was in the 50s through Christmas, other parts of Colorado saw as much as half a foot of snow on Wednesday. Heading into the holidays, the chances of seeing a white Christmas were unlikely. Denver was warmer than some cities in Texas and California on Christmas Eve, and while there were storms by Christmas day, the city was only left with rain. While Denver didn’t see a white Christmas, other Colorado areas were covered in snow, causing visibility issues, highway crashes and traffic. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX 31 NEWS

Democrat lawyers call for congress to block Trump from taking office

By Kristina Wong | Breitbart Two Democrat lawyers called for Congress to block President-elect Donald Trump from taking office in an op-ed published by the Hill on Thursday, prompting disbelief and ridicule from Republicans. In the piece titled “Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now,” lawyers Evan A. Davis and David M. Schulte argued that the Constitution says an insurrectionist is ineligible to be president and “the evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming.” They argued that the “matter has been decided in three separate forums” — one of which they said was the Rep. Nancy Pelosi-appointed January 6th Committee — which a recent House Republican review into the committee concluded was “designed...
