Could $4 a gallon gasoline be back before Presidential Election Day?

By Charley Blaine | The Street Oil and gasoline prices have distinct seasonal patterns, up after the first of the year up until some time in the summer.  The big questions for this year are:  How high will crude oil prices go?  Will gasoline prices hit startling levels? After peaking and sliding into the end of the year, what happens next might be more painful than you expect. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE STREET

The crazy things Biden’s anti-coal crusade will do to ordinary Americans

By Roger Hanshaw | Fox News The Biden administration’s approach to energy policy ignores the importance of coal and baseload electricity demands.  President Joe Biden revealed as much in a speech last year, announcing that the U.S. will "be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar." Further, Biden's Climate Envoy John Kerry stated at the UN climate conference COP28 that, "we will be working to accelerate unabated coal phase-out across the world."  The Biden administration is determined to eliminate coal-fired power plants in the name of "environmental justice." This is shortsighted.  Biden is now following through on his plans by wielding the vast power of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Biden's EPA gave th...

Trump ordered to pay over $350M in civil fraud case

By Alison Durkee | Forbes Former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants will have to pay $364 million for fraudulently misstating the value of his and his company’s assets on financial statements, a New York judge ruled Friday, levying significant punishments against the ex-president and his business that could hurt him financially and affect his business’ operations. New York Attorney General Letitia James sued Trump, his associates — including his sons — and the Trump Organization for allegedly fraudulently misstating the value of assets on financial documents in order to obtain more favorable business deals and reflect a higher net worth for Trump.

Report: McDaniel offered to step down from RNC leadership if Trump wanted her out

By Rachel Schilke | Colorado Springs Gazette Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel reportedly said she would step down as chairwoman if former President Donald Trump became the nominee and wanted her out. McDaniel believes the Republican nominee deserves a chairperson they can trust, so she said she would resign from her post if that was what Trump wished, according to the Washington Post. It looks like this may come to pass, as reports are circulating that McDaniel will step down after South Carolina's primary on Feb. 24. Her resignation after many years in leadership came after she faced a slew of criticism from party members and the former president, who has appeared to have changed his tune on McDaniel in rece...

The Housing Crunch Is Causing Americans To Delay Marriage and Children

By EJ Antoni | Heritage Foundation Failed public policies are undermining the institution of marriage in America. Rates of both marriage and child births have been trending down for decades, but the current cost-of-living crisis is poised to accelerate these declines. If you can’t afford a place to live, chances are you won’t get married and have kids. That’s precisely the calculus for millions of young Americans today who can’t make ends meet despite a record number of them holding second or even third jobs. Sixty percent are living paycheck to paycheck. Americans have accumulated a record high $1.1 trillion in credit-card debt as many can’t cover even necessities. But Americans aren’t just falling into debt—they’re falling behind on payments too. Defaults and delinquencies are r...

It’s official: Amache National Historic Site in Southeast Colorado ensures federal protection for former Japanese American incarceration camp

By Kevin Simpson | Colorado Sun Nearly two years after legislation designated the site of Colorado’s Granada War Relocation Center — also known as Camp Amache — part of the National Park System, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland on Thursday formally closed the deal that creates Amache National Historic Site, ensuring federal protection for the grounds where more than 10,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II. Details surrounding Granada’s official acquisition and donation of the land were recently finalized to clear the way for the National Park Service to assume management of the site, which sits on nearly one square mile just outside of the southeastern Colorado town. Amache opened in 1942 and closed in 1945. It was the smallest of 10 suc...

Hickenlooper plays politics with border security

By Colorado Peak Politics What we have here is a failure to communicate. Senate advances military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan https://t.co/HM0fEz0TFI— Caitlyn Kim (@caitlynkim) February 13, 2024 When Democrats say they want border security, what they mean is Joe and Jody Taxpayer need to cough up more money by the billions to pay for an entire new infrastructure to keep borders open and migrants pouring through by the millions. When Republicans say they want border security, what they mean is Joe Biden needs to reverse his policies abusing immigration policies to allow migrants by the millions to pour through the border. And, fix the border wall where drug dealers, criminals, terrorists and human traffickers lurk. The solution to an out-of-control migrant cri...

House votes to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas over border crisis

U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Windsor, among three Republicans to oppose impeachment By Elizabeth Elkind , Bradford Betz | Fox News Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been impeached by the House of Representatives. A Cabinet secretary has not been impeached by the U.S. Congress since 1876. Tuesday evening’s vote marked House Republicans’ second attempt at impeaching Mayorkas. GOP lawmakers targeted the Biden official over the ongoing migrant crisis at the U.S. border, accusing him of deliberately flaunting existing immigration law and worsening the situation.  The 214-213 vote was always expected to be tight; Mayorkas narrowly escaped impeachment last week when every single House Democrat showed up to shield him, including Rep. Al G...

Poll: Majority think Biden received ‘special treatment’ in classified documents investigation

By  LAUREN IRWIN | The Hill Just more than half of Americans think President Biden received special treatment when a special counsel did not bring forth charges following a classified documents probe, according to a new poll. The survey, conducted by Reuters and Ipsos, found 53 percent of all respondents agreed with the statement that Biden “received special treatment because he is the U.S. president.” Nearly 30 percent of Democratic respondents said the same. Special counsel Robert Hur released a 388-page report last week detailing his findings after a roughly yearlong investigation into how documents from Biden’s time as vice president ended up at an old office space and his home in Wilmington, Del. The report’s conclusion said Biden “willfully” ret...

Hillary Clinton speech interrupted by protesters calling her ‘war criminal’

By Jenny Goldsberry | Colorado Springs Gazette Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was forced to pause her speech after being shouted down by three protesters during an event at Columbia University on Friday. Clinton was trying to give the opening remarks at an event hosted by the university's Institute of Global Politics and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security. The event was held in the name of "Preventing and Addressing Conflict-Related Sexual Violence." "Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton," a protester shouted out as soon as she took the podium. Clinton looked up, seemingly to meet the gaze of the protester. "That's my name," Clinton responded with a smile. "That's right." READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETT...
