FBI charged with Jan. 6 ‘cover-up’ in Ashli Babbitt shooting case

By Paul Bedard | Denver Gazette A watchdog group is escalating its battle with the Justice Department over the FBI's refusal to turn over files on Ashli Babbitt, the United States Air Force veteran shot and killed during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot over the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory over former President Donald Trump. Judicial Watch, claiming a “cover-up,” on Friday filed a suit in federal court claiming that the FBI has twice refused to comply with Freedom of Information Act demands for any files it has on Babbitt and her husband Aaron. The FOIA lawsuit was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

Republicans skeptical the ‘case has been made’ to push Biden impeachment into reality

By Jack Birle | Denver Gazette As House Republicans move one step closer to impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, more members of the House GOP conference are skeptical about impeaching his boss. The House GOP has dedicated a significant portion of its current stint in control of the chamber exploring and hyping up impeaching President Joe Biden, but some within the conference still think the case has yet to be made to the public. “While I think that it’s pretty clear, I don’t know that the case has been made adequately to the American people,” Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) said, according to CNN. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

Denver police arrest 13-year-old accused of killing bus passenger for blocking aisle

By Daniel Boniface | Denver Gazette A 13-year-old boy was arrested after Denver police alleged he fatally shot a 60-year-old man after an argument on a bus on Saturday. The Denver Police Department said the verbal exchange appears to have started because the victim's leg was blocking the aisle on the bus. The verbal exchange escalated and the boy shot the victim, police said. Denver police officers responded to the bus, which was located at South Federal Boulevard and West Mississippi Avenue, around 6:41 p.m. When officers got there, they found the 60-year-old man who had been shot. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

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...

Biden’s border: 7-plus million who have crossed outnumbers Colorado population

By Kyle Sammin | Colorado Springs Gazette Where is the line between Texas and Mexico? It’s a question that captivated Americans in 1846 but one that most of us thought was resolved definitively in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo two years later. Instead, here in 2024, the Biden administration is conducting a bold experiment in postnationalism by reducing border enforcement to a series of checkpoints and pinky swears as it ushers in a record number of illegal immigrants from around the world. It is a slow-motion crisis that has, finally, become a top concern in voters’ minds.  But is the federal government’s failure to act a prelude to civil war? It’s not likely despite overheated rhetoric in the press. President Joe Biden’s determination to roll ba...

Polling shows some feel better about the economy, not about Biden

By Peyton Sorosinski | Colorado Springs Gazette While many people are gaining back their confidence in the economy, an AP-NORC poll suggests there hasn’t been a corresponding boost in President Joe Biden’s approval rating. As Biden and former President Donald Trump head for what appears to be a 2020-esque showdown, polls reveal that Biden’s campaign has struggled to garner favorability among Democratic voters despite the country’s recent economic improvement.  The recent poll shows that 35% of the 1,152 respondents say they believe the economy is doing well, up from 24% a year ago, Axios reported. However, Biden's approval has moved significantly less, hovering around 40% for the last year. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said at...

‘It’s wrong, and we should not set this precedent,’ Rep. Buck says on Mayorkas impeachment

By Asher Notheis | The Gazette Rep. Ken Buck, R-Windsor, announced Thursday that he will not support an impeachment measure against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, putting the measure of impeachment at risk of not having enough votes to pass. The impeachment measure against Mayorkas is being pursued by House Republicans over the secretary's handling of the southern border. Buck, who previously said that he was undecided on whether he would support impeaching Mayorkas, explained that he would not support such a measure because Mayorkas's handling of the border is "a policy difference," not a "high crime." "Let me from the outset say there is a crisis on the border, the law needs to be enforced," Buck said. "But if we start going down th...

Colorado Springs officials: ‘We will not be designated as a sanctuary county’

By Savannah Eller | COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE On Wednesday a group of local officials, including the El Paso County board of commissioners and City Council member Dave Donelson, called a press conference to respond to the news of migrants arriving in Colorado Springs. The officials presented a united front against El Paso becoming a sanctuary county, admonishing state and federal government for lack of action in stemming illegal immigration.  "Allow me to state unequivocally that we will not be designated as a sanctuary county. All five El Paso County commissioners are united in our position," said board chair Cami Bremer.  Bremer and vice chair commissioner Carrie Geitner led the conference, coming out strong against the harboring of migrants in El Paso County.

Colorado’s illegal immigrant crisis hits the suburbs

By William Perry Pendley Americans are horrified by the nation’s illegal immigration crisis; it is their No. 1 issue, reports a new public opinion poll, edging out inflation. Once a concern for Arizona, California, Texas and New Mexico residents, it is now a national problem. After all, the sight at the border of multitudes of single, military-aged men from scores of countries with potentially incompatible civilizations, cultures or causes is at once stupefying and instructive. Because most are headed our way, we all live in border states. Unvetted, unvaccinated and uneducated, they are unprepared for life in America, even those Biden’s Border Patrol ushers in and to whom it provides monies, cell phones, and transport deep in country with court dates years in the future. One can only...
