Trump win ignites crypto frenzy that sends bitcoin to a record high

By AP | Breitbart The price of bitcoin hit a new high Wednesday as investors bet that former President Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election will be a boon for cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin jumped nearly 8% in early trading, climbing above $75,000 and smashing its previous record set in March. Other cryptocurrencies also soared, including ether, the world’s second most popular cryptocurrency after bitcoin, which rallied 8%. Another token, dogecoin, rocketed as much as 18%. It’s the favorite cryptocurrency of billionaire Elon Musk, one of Trump’s most prominent supporters. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Swing-state voter says she broke to Trump because ‘media is more of a threat to Democracy’ than him

By Jason Cohen | Daily Caller A previously undecided Pennsylvania voter named Kim said Tuesday that she voted for former President Donald Trump because she perceives the media as a graver “threat to democracy.” Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris by .4% in Pennsylvania, according to the RealClearPolling average. Kim, while appearing on journalist Mark Halperin’s 2WAY platform, said the media’s anti-Trump conduct influenced her decision to cast her ballot for the former president. “I feel like the media is more of a threat to democracy than Donald Trump, and I truly believe that … I think that they sway information in such a way that it’s insulting to voters, and they really try to drive a narrative,” Kim said. “Not only in politics, I just feel like a lot of what you read and...

Trump vows to lead ‘golden age of America’ and to ‘fix everything’ in victory speech

By Emma Colton , Brooke Singman | Fox News President-elect Donald Trump addressed his supporters in the nation early Wednesday morning after earning more than 270 electoral votes, vowing he will lead the "golden age of America" after launching the "greatest political movement of all time."  "This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There's never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond. And now it's going to reach a new level of importance because we're going to help our country heal," Trump said just before 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday.  "We're going to help our country here. We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We're going to fix our borders. We're going to fix everything about our country and we've m...

2024’s biggest loser is the corporate media industrial complex

By Elle Purnell | The Federalist Kamala Harris is only the second-biggest loser of the night. Her media shills are nursing wounds that will take far longer to recover from. In the early hours of Wednesday morning, legacy news networks were already sliding toward 2016 levels of melting down about the increasingly definite prospect of a presidential victory by Donald J. Trump. For them, Harris’ stinging defeat is personal — because it’s just as much a defeat for them as it is for her. The corporate media industrial complex has spent Donald Trump’s entire political career trying to destroy him. Hand-in-hand with triple-letter government agencies and Democrats, they ran a hoax painting Trump as a Russian stooge based on ridiculous rumors commissioned by his opponent’s campaign in 2016...

Unrest on the horizon: Coordinated anti-establishment protests planned across U.S. cities

By Heidi Ganahl | Rocky Mountain Voice Editor's note: Please be advised some unavoidable graphic language appears in this piece. Cities across the United States are preparing for a wave of protests and potential unrest, as various anti-establishment groups signal their intent to take to the streets regardless of the election outcome. From Seattle to Portland, Philadelphia and Tampa, a coalition of groups —- ranging from Antifa to pro-Palestine activists, socialist organizations, and anarchist factions —- are mobilizing to express discontent with the country’s political landscape, decrying both major candidates and the systems they represent. Flyers circulating in several cities, including the ones shared through channels associated with Antifa and other protest networks, convey...

District court denies Libertarian Party’s plea for a hand-count of ballots in Colorado following password leak

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Denver District Court Judge Kandace Gerdes has denied an appeal to seek a hand-count of election returns and other relief sought by the Libertarian Party in a suit against Secretary of State Jena Griswold and the State of Colorado. Counsel for the Libertarian Party had argued the public disclosure of passwords on the secretary of state's website for a period lasting four months before removal was unprecedented, and so an unprecedented resolution was needed. The case was filed Friday, Nov. 1, and heard in Gerdes' courtroom Monday afternoon. https://rockymountainvoice.com/2024/11/unprecedented-mistake-by-secretary-griswold-calls-for-unprecedented-ruling-libertarian-party-argues-in-district-court "In dismissing the petition, the district...

Colorado’s wolf reintroduction has cost taxpayers double what they expected when they voted to approve it

By Dac Collins | Outdoor Life Bringing wolves back to Colorado has cost the state at least $4.8 million so far, according to a new financial analysis by The Denver Post. This is within the total amount appropriated by lawmakers, the Post reports. But it’s more than double the estimate that was given to Colorado voters during the 2020 election, when voters narrowly passed a ballot measure initiating wolf reintroduction by a margin of less than 1 percent. The Post’s analysis is based on a spending spreadsheet from Colorado Parks and Wildlife that was obtained through a public records request. The document breaks down all the expenses associated with CPW’s wolf reintroduction program, including the high cost of transporting and surveilling gray wolves. READ THE FULL STORY A...

Colorado state government spending increases outpaced inflation, report says

By Tom Joyce | The Center Square Colorado has vastly grown its government spending over the past 20 years, according to a new report from Common Sense Institute. CSI's "Then and Now" report found that government spending in Colorado has vastly outpaced inflation over the last 20 years. Adjusted for inflation, the state government has increased spending by 35% in that stretch from $5,140 per Coloradoan to $6,924. Healthcare is a big reason for that spending increase over the last 20 years. The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing grew its budget by 429% from Fiscal Year 2005 to Fiscal Year 2025, from $3 billion to $15.9 billion; that department went from 22% of the budget to 37%.

Gun sales expected to surge in a likely anti-gun Harris Adminstration

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner Sales of guns took a temporary pause last month as the public headed into an Election Day that could determine the future of the Second Amendment. The FBI said background checks fell, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry group that parses those reports for sales numbers, said they were down about 5%. Still, NSSF said the market remains strong and recorded the 63rd consecutive month of sales over 1 million. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
