Biden-Harris immigration programs admit 1.3 million migrants, including gang members and terror suspects

By Jennie Taer | New York Post Just five months before Luis Miguel Calzadilla-Rojas — a Venezuelan migrant and alleged Tren de Aragua gangbanger — was arrested after a shooting outside a probation office in Aurora, Colorado, he was welcomed into the US — thanks to a controversial immigration program launched by the Biden-Harris administration. Calzadilla-Rojas entered the country using CBP One — an app that is designed to allow asylum seekers a legal pathway to entry into America. He’s just one of 1.3 million migrants who have come into the country through legal routes created by the Biden-Harris admin in less than two years. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Legislators considering bills to reduce ‘trigger audits’ targeting business

By Ed Sealover | The Sum & Substance Multiple medium- to large-sized companies say that they’ve been targeted for audits over and over by groups of a dozen or more municipalities in recent years, typically at the behest of a third-party auditing firm contracted by smaller cities to investigate potential tax scofflaws. It’s not the general concept of the audits that bothers tax professionals and business leaders so much the frequency and number of these audits, as well as the fear that an unregulated company is sharing information from the investigations to spur more audits. The primary company contracting with Colorado cities to perform these audits says it does not share such information, but critics note that the firm — Revenue Recovery Group of Baton Rouge, Louisiana — refuses...

Walcher: Making computers out of… wind?

By Greg Walcher | Commentary, gregwalcher.com I just attended a reception with Colorado oil and gas employees, and the conversation was eye opening. I expected to hear about how difficult life in America would be without fossil fuels. There was some of that, but not in the way I expected. Many of the conversations were not about how badly we need gasoline for our cars or electricity for our homes and businesses. There was, instead, a new twist that most of us spend little time thinking about. Namely, all the products in our daily lives that come from oil, though many people don’t realize it. This is important, because the push to decarbonize our society assumes that most uses of fossil fuels can be replaced by renewables. Though it costs more and is less reliable, the technology to c...

Remember Tupperware? The decades-old, iconic kitchen staple company has filed for bankruptcy

Denver Councilman Darrell Watson opposes Initiative 309 slaughterhouse ban

By Rachel Gabel  | The Fence Post Denver voters will be asked to cast a vote on Initiative 309, which would ban slaughterhouses in the City and County of Denver. A diverse group of stakeholders convened Wednesday on the steps of Denver City and County Building to oppose the ban. The question posed to voters: Shall the voters of the City and County of Denver adopt an ordinance prohibiting slaughterhouses, and, in connection, beginning Jan. 1, 2026, prohibiting the construction, maintenance, or use of slaughterhouses within the city; and requiring the city to prioritize residents whose employment is affected by the ordinance in workforce training or employment assistance programs? While the question suggests multiple slaughterhouses, there is one operating in Denver, Superior Farms....

‘We have reached the end of our rope’: Business owners call on city leaders to solve vagrancy in rural town

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice FORT MORGAN -- Vagrants are trespassing in residential and business property, doing drugs in public, urinating and defecating in the library and other public places, and in general becoming an out-of-control public nuisance. It would be just another day in Denver, but this isn't Denver. It is Fort Morgan on the Eastern Plains of Colorado, where neighbors have known each other for decades in the town of about 12,000 and residents rarely unite to air their grievances in the happy-go-lucky community. Until now. Residents are telling city leadership they have had enough. "We have reached the end of our rope," said Malori Rudnik, owner of Double R Embroidery at Main Street and Beaver Avenue adjacent to Glenn Miller Park. "We have found needles ...

MIG REPORTS: Is the Harris campaign crashing?

By MIG Reports, Commentary Political discourse has intensified following the Trump versus Harris debate, with MIG Reports data showing Trump continuing to surge as Harris loses momentum. Stories like the infamous Springfield, Ohio incident, where rumors swirled about Haitian migrants allegedly consuming cats and dogs, served to further polarize partisan divides. Against a backdrop of ire toward the media and Democrats, a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump also ignites passions on both sides. National sentiment toward Trump remains strong, maintaining at least a 5-point lead over Harris since the debate. Republican support across the electoral college remains tight, with Democrats gaining slight ground since the debate. Media Frenzy and Voter Anger: After the deba...
