Gaines: Colorado Public Radio takes a swing at ‘climate realism’—and misses

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Complete Colorado Have you heard of climate realism?  It varies depending on who uses it, but in general the term refers to acknowledging that while fossil fuels are contributing to climate change, it’s not an existential threat demanding immediate, drastic action.  It describes a view that the proper response to climate change is mitigating the downside while understanding that reliable, abundant and affordable energy from fossil fuels prevents a whole host of problems we could have if we simply left them in the ground. This is the view held by recently appointed Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, former CEO of Liberty Energy.  I don’t think he coined the phrase “climate realist,” but it is certainly how he has described his own v...

“Failure to Warn”: Senate report uncovers vaccine risk cover-up under Biden

By Julia Varnier | The National News Desk (TNND) — A new report from the Senate Homeland Security Committee accuses federal health agencies of failing to adequately warn the public about potential side effects of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, particularly the risk of myocarditis in young men. The report suggests that the Biden administration downplayed these risks to avoid increasing vaccine hesitancy. Dr. Jordan Vaughn, President of the Microvascular Research Foundation, testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday, during the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations' first hearing about the negative side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, criticizing the decision by public health officials in 2021 not to issue a Health Alert Network message when increased risks from the COVID-19 vaccine be...

Trump, Rubio move to dismantle ‘Deep State’ grip on national security

By Marc Caputo and Alex Isenstadt | Axios President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have orchestrated a vast restructuring of the National Security Council, reducing its size and transferring many of its powers to the State and Defense departments. Why it matters: Trump's White House sees the NSC as notoriously bureaucratic and filled with longtime officials who don't share the president's vision. A White House official involved in the planning characterized the reorganization as Trump and Rubio's latest move against what they see as Washington's "Deep State." "The NSC is the ultimate Deep State. It's Marco vs. the Deep State. We're gutting the Deep State," the official said of the move, which will cut the NSC staff to about half of its current 350...

RFK Jr’s MAHA Report exposes health crisis tied to food, meds, and mandates

By Amanda Prestigiacomo | Daily Wire Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday released the highly anticipated MAHA Commission report, detailing findings on potential causes of the epidemic of Americans, particularly children, fighting chronic illnesses.  The report, which is 68 pages long, details findings concerning ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, stress, and the lack of physical activity, and reliance on medications and vaccines.  On nutrition, the report notes Americans’ reliance on ultra-processed foods, which it says leads to “nutrient depletion, increased caloric intake, and exposure to harmful additives.” The report found that 70% of children’s calories now come from ultra-processed foods, contributing to chronic con...

Trump’s VA slashes massive Biden-era backlog of veteran claims

By Hudson Crozier | Daily Caller The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is making record-breaking progress in processing a backlog of veteran disability claims that mounted under former President Joe Biden, the agency told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The VA brought unresolved claims down from 264,717 to 198,378 — or by approximately 25% — since President Donald Trump returned to office, the VA told the DCNF. Trump’s VA has also hit the highest daily and monthly processing rates in the agency’s history while reversing a 24% increase in the backlog that occurred under Biden, the VA said in a statement. “Under President Trump, VA’s claims processing productivity is the highest it has ever been, and we will continue working overtime on behalf of Veterans until the backlog is at...

“Time to end retirement”: Fabbricatore joins fight to rescue migrant children as ORR Senior Advisor

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice On May 19, 2025, retired ICE official John Fabbricatore stepped into a new role as Senior Advisor at the Office of Refugee Resettlement, just as the agency faces intense scrutiny for failing to track unaccompanied migrant children after release. Fabbricatore’s #FindTheKids hashtag signals a push to close those gaps, but the road ahead is steep. Fabbricatore announced his appointment on X, stating, “Time to end retirement. I was sworn in at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on May 19, 2025, as a Senior Advisor for the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) at the Immediate Office of the Secretary in the Senior Executive Service.”  https://twitter.com/johne_fabb/status/1924576960371421184 ORR ...

“Aptitude test for your rights?” Mesa County pushes back on SB3 in letter to the DOJ

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice Would you need a perfect GPA to speak your mind or worship freely? Mesa County officials say Colorado’s new gun law is treating the Second Amendment that way – and they’ve asked the U.S. Department of Justice to intervene. In a three-page letter sent this month, the Mesa County Board of Commissioners urged federal authorities to investigate Senate Bill 25-003, calling it a “grotesque misuse of government power” that effectively imposes a discriminatory test on anyone wishing to lawfully own or carry a firearm. The law, which takes effect in August 2026, requires residents to complete state-approved firearms training, score 90% on a written exam and obtain conditional approval from their sheriff’s office every five years in order to receive or...

Israeli Embassy staffers fatally shot by terrorist who yelled ‘Free, free Palestine’

By Nicholas McEntyre | New York Post The two Israeli Embassy staffers who were gunned down by a pro-Palestinian terrorist outside the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday night have been identified as “friends and colleagues” who fell in love and were just days away from getting engaged. Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim were fatally shot in the street as they left the American Jewish Committee’s ACCESS Young Diplomats Reception just after 9 p.m. in Washington, DC. “Yaron and Sarah were our friends and colleagues. They were in the prime of their lives,” the Embassy of Israel to the USA wrote on X. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

House passes ‘one big, beautiful bill’ in massive win for Trump

By Daniel Chaitin | Daily Wire In a significant victory for President Donald Trump, the Republican-led House early Thursday morning passed what the president has championed as the “one big, beautiful bill,” with enough Republican holdouts coming around to support the comprehensive tax and budget package. Trump met with House Republicans two days in a row as they hashed out last-minute changes to win over members from high-tax blue states who wanted a higher state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap and fiscal hawks who demanded more spending cuts. The final vote, a close 215-214, followed back-to-back all-night sessions in the Rules Committee and on the House floor. “We planned and we worked and we locked arms together as a team. And we have delivered this against all odds,” House ...

Woman shot by security guards after failing to stop at gate at CIA Headquarters

By Zach Jewell | Daily Wire Security Guards at the CIA’s headquarters in McLean, Virginia, shot and wounded a woman on Thursday morning after she failed to stop at the gate, CBS News reported. The woman was transported to the hospital with what law enforcement officials described as a non-fatal gunshot wound to her upper body. The woman who crashed into the gate was identified as 27-year-old Monia Spadaro, according to NBC News. In 2021, Spadaro was found guilty of driving under the influence. “There was a security incident that law enforcement responded to outside CIA Headquarters,” a CIA spokesperson told NBC News. “The main gate is currently closed, employees should seek alternative routes. Additional details will be made available as appropriate.” READ THE FULL S...
