$170K in stolen vehicles recovered, 4 arrested in Utah–Colorado theft ring

By Heather Willard | Fox31 DENVER (KDVR) — The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office announced that four people were arrested last week for multiple automobile thefts that crossed the Colorado and Utah border. On April 15, Colorado and Utah law enforcement agencies were able to identify a suspect vehicle in eastern Utah. Law enforcement believed the suspects would return to Colorado in the early hours of April 16 with stolen vehicles. Law enforcement said they believe the suspects have used this tactic several times previously. On April 16, the Colorado State Patrol, Mesa County Sheriff’s Office and members of Special Problem Enforcement and Response, a multi-jurisdictional task force based out of Garfield County, located the suspect vehicles entering Colorado. Officers initi...

Bible sales up. Church attendance rising. Revival whispers loud.

By Debbie Kelley | Denver Gazette After years of more and more Americans claiming atheism, agnosticism or “nothing in particular” in religiosity, there are signs that the category is leveling off at 29% of the population, while at the same time, the continual decline of Americans who self-identify as Christians appears to have reached a plateau, according to a new study from Pew Research Center. Slightly more than 6 in 10 of the 36,908 respondents in the Religious Landscape Study released in February consider themselves to be Christians. Though that represents a 9-percentage-point drop from a decade ago, the stability is now a trend, Pew says. For the past five years, from 2019 through 2024, the Christian share of the adult population has remained between 60% and 64%, in...

Colorado’s wolf plan ignores the one thing wolves don’t: borders

By Ali Longwell | The Fence Post Over the last month, two of Colorado’s latest gray wolf transplants were killed after crossing the border into Wyoming.  Colorado Parks and Wildlife expects these types of movements into other states from the reintroduced wolf population. The species is known for traveling long distances in search of food or mates.  However, once the wolves leave Colorado, they lose certain protections afforded to them by both state and federal laws. But just how those protections change, and what might happen to them, depends entirely on which way they travel. In Colorado, gray wolves are considered “state endangered” in addition to being listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act and as an experimental population under a ...

Pete Hegseth, White House SLAM legacy media for ‘peddling lies’ after reports on second Signal chat

By Hannah Nightingale | The Post Millennial Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth hit back at reporting released on Sunday that claimed he discussed detailed information about forthcoming strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in a second Signal chat. The report from the New York Times cited four anonymous people with knowledge of the chat. "What a big surprise that a bunch of, a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out from the same media that peddled the Russia hoax," Hegseth told reporters when asked to respond to the "Signal chat controversy" while attending the White House Easter Egg Roll. "They got Pulitzers for a bunch of lies." "As they peddle those lies, no one ever calls them on it. See, this is what the media does. They take anonymous sources from disg...

A perfect storm comes for elite universities

By Sarah Bedford | Washington Examiner The country’s most elite universities are panicking over President Donald Trump’s pressure campaign against them, but their problems run far deeper than a stand-off with the White House. Fewer students are applying to top schools. Private donors are closing their checkbooks. Lucrative foreign student visas are in the State Department’s crosshairs.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

More Democratic lawmakers are visiting El Salvador on Abrego Garcia’s behalf

By AP | Breitbart Four House Democratic lawmakers have traveled to El Salvador to call attention to the plight of a man the Trump administration deported to a Salvadoran prison and has refused to help return — even after the Supreme Court ruled that it was the government’s duty to do so. Reps. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Maxwell Frost of Florida and Robert Garcia of California arrived in the Central American nation on Sunday to investigate the condition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had lived in the United States for more than a decade. The Trump administration deported him, a move that administration officials have said in court filings was erroneous. But despite a Supreme Court ordering the Trump administration to help facilitate Abrego Garcia’s retu...

Joondeph: Democrats are dying on the most unpopular hills in politics

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker The phrase “the hill you choose to die on” is an expression meaning a belief, opinion, or position that one is fiercely committed to defending, even when it is impractical or contrary to one’s long-term goals. It suggests a willingness to fight or resist to the point of losing, rather than pivoting, conceding, or compromising. In the political world, most players lack conviction or principles. They are swayed by the political winds, the latest opinion polls, or the size of the most recent campaign contributions they receive. Their positions are primarily situational, influenced by their proximity to the next reelection bid or which Sunday morning talk show has invited them as guests. Democrats, finding themselves in the minor...

Supreme Court orders temporary halt to deportation of Venezuelans under Alien Enemies Act

By Andrew C. McCarthy | National Review The Supreme Court acted Friday night to block the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan aliens held in Texas whom the administration claims are members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) and, hence, argues are removable under the president’s Alien Enemies Act (AEA) proclamation. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the Court’s one-paragraph order. The Court indicated that Justice Alito is writing on the matter and we can expect him to issue an opinion shortly. Pending that, it is not clear to me whether the two justices are dissenting because they believe that the Court’s intervention is premature, that the Court READ THE FULL STORY AT NATIONAL REVIEW

Lee and Friday: We saved our daughters—HB25-1312 would’ve punished us as child abusers

By Erin Friday and Erin Lee | Wall Street Journal We are both mothers whose daughters went through a phase in which they believed they were boys. We never affirmed that belief, although their schools and much of the broader culture did. Eventually, our daughters recognized their true identities and ceased identifying themselves as “transgender.” A bill under consideration in Colorado (where Ms. Lee lives) would define parents like us as child abusers. The measure would harm vulnerable children and violate the U.S. Constitution in multiple ways. Lawmakers including state Reps. Yara Zokaie and Javier Mabrey have likened parents like us to Klansmen, and their legislation is expected to pass the state Senate and proceed to Gov. Jared Polis’s desk. A similar bill in California...
