A boy swept three girls’ events. Where were the adults?

By Jennifer Sey | Commentary, New York Post Federal law is supposed to forbid it, and even California Gov. Gavin Newsom calls it unfair. Yet on Saturday, AB Hernandez, a boy, swept the girls’ high jump, triple jump and long jump at the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Sectionals competition. Hernandez’s dominating distances will most likely advance him to the state championships at the end of the month.  CIF allowed the first-place girl in each event to share the podium with Hernandez — tacitly admitting two plain facts: that Hernandez is male, and that young women have unfairly had to compete against him for years. The list of displaced girls is so long at this point that we’ve stopped flinching. High jumper Reese...

California’s water answer may be hiding in plain sight: The Pacific Ocean

By Greg Walcher | Commentary, GregWalcher.com The Wall Street Journal headline said “San Diego Now Has So Much Water That It’s Selling It.” The article said San Diego generates enough water to rescue Arizona, though that’s jumping the gun just a bit. No such deal has actually been finalized yet, but the fact that the conversation is underway marks a new era in Colorado River negotiations. And not a minute too soon. The latest optimism is not based on any change in the historically low flow of the Colorado River. It’s based on the realization – at long last – that California does not need Colorado River water. That realization has finally come not only to Upper Basin states like Colorado (which has been making this point for decades) but to all of the seven states in the Colorado Rive...

Trump Flexes Political Muscle As Massie Falls In Kentucky Primary

By Bradley Jaye | Breitbart President Donald Trump spared little expense and political capital in targeting Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) in the contentious marquee race of an Election Day in which voters from multiple states will decide which candidates will represent them in November or advance to a runoff. The Republican brouhaha for Kentucky’s Fourth Congressional District is perhaps the most high-profile primary of the 2026 cycle, with the Texas GOP Senate primary the only other contender. Trump went all-in for Ed Gallrein in the race against Massie, visiting the district himself in recent weeks and dispatching Secretary of War Pete Hegseth – in a private capacity – to the state to campaign with Gallrein Monday. The President is riding high in recent weeks after sec...

Vance Backs Compensation For Tina Peters As Colorado Fallout Grows

By Jessica Porter | Denver7 The Vice President made the comments when asked about a new $1.8 billion fund for political allies. DENVER — Vice President JD Vance held Tina Peters up as a shining example of someone who should be compensated under the Trump administration's newly created $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund.” “This innocent grandmother was going to spend 10 years in prison, completely disproportionate to any misdemeanor trespassing that I have ever seen. Was that fair, no? Is it reasonable to get some compensation for the fact that she was treated unfairly? I think the answer was yes,” Vance said during a press conference on Tuesday. Tina Peters was convicted in 2024 of allowing an unauthorized person to download software from Mesa County’s elec...

Federal Crackdown Expands as Decades-Long Voter Fraud Scheme Surfaces

By John Solomon | Just the News FBI Director Kash Patel says prior administrations looked the other way on election cheating but "those days are over." Despite evidence to the contrary, liberal voting activists have spent years minimizing cheating concerns and portraying those who want to investigate such problems as “election deniers.”  But the FBI and the departments of Justice and Homeland Security are now systematically exposing electoral fraud – from non-citizen voting to ballot-box-stuffing schemes that are turning the table in epic fashion. The latest strike came Monday when a longtime voting activist in California reached a deal with federal prosecutors to admit to illegally paying homeless people to sign election petitions and paying people to re...

Kentucky moved to rein in executive power: Should Colorado do the same?

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project An intriguing idea out of Kentucky... I usually stick to Colorado issues, but this idea out of the recent Kentucky legislative session struck me as worth sharing. Since I live in Blue Colorado, the idea of Republicans having a supermajority (and will enough) to push their legislative priorities through, including “tearing through” a series of vetoes by the governor caught my eye. Per the article linked first below, this is the case in Kentucky. The Republican-supermajority legislature there recently overrode a whole lot of Governor Beshear’s vetoes. If you’re interested in Kentucky politics, you can read up on the list, but the one that I want to focus on is shown in screenshot 1 from that article. ...

Colorado Seniors Face Growing Threat From Sophisticated Scams

By Toby Nelson | SmartAsset Millions of older Americans are targeted by financial scams each year. One analysis published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury found $27 billion in suspected elder financial exploitation in just a 12-month period. As digital banking, payments and communication become more common, scammers have more ways to reach victims and impersonate trusted institutions. Phishing scams, including business imposter and government imposter fraud, are among the most common methods used to target older Americans.  SmartAsset analyzed fraud reports filed with the Federal Trade Commission by state and age group to determine which areas show the highest rate of reported scams involving residents age 60 and older. The analysis also identified the mo...

Texas Children’s Hospital Settlement Signals Shift in Youth Gender Care Debate

By Joshua Arnold | The Daily Signal THE WASHINGTON STAND—The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday announced a settlement with Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) in which the hospital not only committed to never again carry out gender transition procedures on minors, but also agreed to open the nation’s first detransitioner clinic and fully fund it for five years. TCH gained notoriety in 2023 when a whistleblower provided evidence that the hospital continued to secretly administer gender transition hormones to minors, even after the Texas legislature had made it illegal. “Today’s resolution protects vulnerable children, holds providers accountable, and ensures those harmed receive the care they need,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche....
