Trump’s Steele dossier complaint dismissed by London high court

By Misty Severi | The Gazette A London judge dismissed former President Donald Trump’s privacy lawsuit against former British spy Christopher Steele on Thursday, where Trump accused Steele of making “false and scandalous claims” in a dossier. British Judge Karen Steyn said there were "no compelling reasons" to let the lawsuit go to trial and that Trump had allowed many years to pass without legal action to “vindicate his reputation in this jurisdiction” since he was made aware of the dossier’s existence in January of 2017. The lawsuit, which was filed against Steele and his consultancy company Orbis Business Intelligence in October, focused on a 35-page dossier that included unverified allegations about Trump and the 2016 presidential election. T...

Neighbors of a Colorado CD3 candidate filed for a protective order in 2021

By The Lobby | The Lobby Neighbors of Republican candidate Russ Andrews, who is running for Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, filed for a protection order against him in 2021, according to court documents. The initial motion for a civil protection order stated that the complainants had endured ongoing noise issues from Andrews, including frequent cursing, yelling, and screaming. The neighbors had previously reported these incidents to their homeowners association. Tensions between Andrews and his neighbors reached a breaking point on October 7, 2021, when a verbal altercation prompted the neighbors to contact authorities. Court documents reveal that the protection order was sought after Andrews allegedly made threatening remarks towards his neighbors, causing them to fea...

Lawmakers eye safety fix on I-70 by targeting commercial drivers

By The Lobby | The Lobby Colorado state lawmakers are targeting commercial truckers in their hope to reduce winter traffic jams on I-70, and critics argue that they are focusing on the wrong group of drivers. The winter season often turns I-70 into a parking lot, particularly in the mountainous areas. While vacationers and weather conditions contribute to the congestion, lawmakers at the state Capitol are pointing their fingers at experienced commercial truckers as the main culprits. According to Sen. Dylan Roberts, a Frisco Democrat and bill sponsor, many of the accidents in recent winters have been caused by semis speeding in the left lane while attempting to pass other cars. He claims that these accidents are completely avoidable. As a result, SB24-100 is now being considered a...

It Pays HUGE in Benefits and Cash to be a Migrant in the U.S.

By The Lobby | The Lobby The astonishing benefits that indigent migrants receive upon arriving in the United States are becoming increasingly clear, leaving many average Americans in awe of the financial assistance provided to these individuals. It is no wonder that illegal immigrants are flocking to America in large numbers, as they are given billions of dollars annually in benefits that most Americans simply cannot afford. According to a New York Times report cited by activist Pamela Geller to Houston radio station KTRH, the average American would need to earn $300,000 per year to afford all the benefits provided to illegal aliens. These benefits include healthcare, education, transportation, housing, phones, legal aid, and even free tuition. The sheer magnitude of these bene...

Don’t expect re-run of 2016 to stop Trump’s nomination, RNC party leaders say

By Rachel Schilke | Colorado Springs Gazette Republican Party leaders will not allow history to repeat of a showdown at the Republican National Convention to prevent former President Donald Trump from becoming the party's nominee. The party experienced a last-ditch effort from a group of delegates in 2016 trying to prevent Trump from being selected for the Republican presidential nomination. However, party members are not expecting any outbursts from delegates at this year's convention, held July 15-18. “It didn’t happen then, and it’s not going to happen now,” David Bossie, a Trump ally and RNC member from Maryland, told NBC News. “There is no one who is going to attempt to do that. ... There’s none of that conversation that has happen...

Biden: jobs report ‘proof’ economy ‘strongest in the world’

By Haisten Willis | Denver Gazette President Joe Biden called the United States economy the "strongest in the world' as the January jobs report showed the country adding 353,000 jobs last month. "Today, we saw more proof [of the economy's strength], with another month of strong wage gains and employment gains of over 350,000 in January, continuing the strong growth from last year," Biden said. "Our economy has created 14.8 million jobs since I took office, unemployment has been under 4% for two full years now, and inflation has been at the pre-pandemic level of 2% over the last half year." The economy beat expectations in January and added 353,000 jobs, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday morning, showing that the labor ...

First Migrant Bus Arrives In El Paso County

By The Lobby | The Lobby Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's sanctuary city policies have come under fire once again, this time for his apparent change of heart regarding the busing of indigent migrants to other cities. Just a few weeks ago, Johnston criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott for employing a similar strategy, calling it "inhumane, reckless, and inefficient." However, it seems that the mayor now sees no issue with transferring the burden of these migrants to other municipalities. On January 28th, a bus carrying migrants arrived in Colorado Springs from Denver. El Paso County Commissioner District 2, Carrie Geitner, expressed her concern, telling Fox21, "This is not just a local challenge. It is a national emergency and it's destroying cities and communities around our natio...

Congressman: Why help Biden on border? Low approval will lead to ‘hogwash’ border plan

By Brady Knox | Colorado Springs Gazette Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) argued that Republicans shouldn't reach a deal with President Joe Biden on the border, claiming he's only using the deal to improve his own political position. Speaking with CNN, Nehls argued that Biden is only showing concern for the border due to his low approval numbers. “Do you believe if Joe Biden's approval rate was at 53%, we would even be talking about the border?" he asked CNN's Manu Raju. "We wouldn’t be talking about the southern border. But he has to do something because he's hemorrhaging, he's bleeding. … So what he's going to try to do is try to come up with some border security plan, bipartisan through the Senate that is nothing but hogwash.” READ THE FULL STORY AT GAZET...
