Democrats Throw Woman Out of Hearing for Not Being Woke Enough on Criminal Trans Issues

By the Lobby A Colorado resident was removed while giving testimony on a controversial bill to the state House Judiciary Committee Tuesday. “Sex matters, it matters in prisons, it matters in sports, it matters in my bathroom, misgender is nothing, it means nothing,” the woman says to the committee as trans members of the of audience hiss. “So, the person this bill is written after it is, is, is literally an admitted former prostitute and other literature and he works with Children.” According to the bill’s sponsor, HB 24-1071 or “Tiara's Law,” aims to simplify the process of legally changing names for convicted felons seeking gender affirming care while incarcerated. It was inspired by Tiara Latrice Kelley, a transgender drag queen with a lengthy criminal history who has been conv...

Fewer Republicans that Gays, According to Colorado House Democrat

By the Lobby Recent claims by outspoken queer Colorado legislator Rep. Leslie Herod that, “there are more young people today who identify as LBGTQ than they do Republican,” have raised more than just a few eyebrows. Herod’s use of squish facts have been called into question in the past, especially during debate of the poorly conceived police accountability bill. The passage of SB20-217 resulted in a spike in crime, drug use and physical assault. But Rep. Herod’s recent unfounded claim that there are more LGBTQ+ young people than Republicans is far more than just rhetoric it reflects a narrow perspective rather than an accurate representation of the state's demographics.

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...

Businesses Flee Denver in Mass Due to Safety Concerns and Remote Work Opportunities

By the Lobby The mass exodus of businesses from Denver has reached a critical point, with CEOs citing financial viability, safety concerns, and cleanliness as the driving factors behind their decision to pack up and leave. The city's policies and the influx of indigent migrants and homeless individuals have created an environment that is increasingly challenging for businesses and their employees. Denver's once highly coveted Mile High City office real estate market has lost its luster, and the consequences are evident. According to Moody's Analytics data, a staggering 21.7% of office space across the Denver metro area was vacant at the end of last year, surpassing the national average of 19.6%. The commercial real estate firm CBRE reported even more severe vacancy rates at 31.5%,...

Libs of Tik Tok exposes Colo Dem’s bill letting felons change their name

By Colorado Peak Politics The Colorado legislature, as featured on Libs of Tik Tok, wants to make it easier for convicted felons to change their names — but only those seeking gender affirming care. The story featured in the video is from 9News, which highlighted this person’s unverified claim about Florida law, that we could not substantiate. Florida does have a three-strikes law for felony offenders. But charging prostitutes with a felony for getting three misdemeanors? READ FULL ARTICLE ON COLORADOPEAKPOLITICS.COM

Survey: Colorado voters agree state is too expensive, disagree on election integrity

By Thelma Grimes [email protected] While Democratic and Republican voters may be split on who they want to lead the country and whether they trust the integrity of national elections, a recent survey shows Colorado residents agree that the cost of living in the state is too high. One of the top takeaways from the annual Colorado Political Climate Survey conducted by the American Politics Research Lab at CU Boulder and the polling company YouGov is that 80% of survey participants said they are either “concerned” or “very concerned” about the rising cost of living. According to a Forbes Advisor analysis, Colorado’s affordability continues to trend high. Ranked 11th in the nation, Colorado’s total cost of living for residents is estimated at around $45,931. The analy...

Colorado Democrats Push a radical Climate Change Agenda in Colorado’s Public Schools

By The Lobby Democrat lawmakers are making a new effort to spread their climate change agenda in the state's public schools. Senate Bill 14, proposed by State Sen. Chris Hanson, aims to introduce what the bill calls "climate literacy" into the curriculum. However, critics argue that this move is just another example of liberal Democrats pushing an agenda-driven curriculum while neglecting important subjects like American history, personal finance, and government.

Denver concedes to homeless micro-community zoning code appeal

By Noah Festenstein [email protected] A Denver resident on Tuesday successfully appealed the zoning decision to build a "micro-community" site in the Overland Park neighborhood in Denver, forcing Mayor Mike Johnston's office to refile the permit request. The successful appeal is unlikely to stop the building of the "micro-community" at 621 W. Wesley Ave., which already broke ground. But it offers a symbolic victory to residents opposed to the city's plans to erect "micro-communities" in their neighborhoods to house homeless people.   READ FULL ARTICLE ON DENVERGAZETTE.COM

Former Colorado Springs councilwoman prioritizes public safety, infrastructure, lower taxes in race for El Paso County’s District 3

By Breeanna Jent [email protected] Brandy Williams has her eyes on El Paso County's future, and she sees fireworks. Williams is running as a Republican in the crowded race to replace outgoing Stan VanderWerf on the Board of El Paso County Commissioners in District 3, promising to prioritize public safety, infrastructure and lower taxes. The county has seen rapid widespread population and economic growth over the last decade, said Williams, 45. Likening its expansion to a mountain climbed, the lifelong resident and former Colorado Springs councilwoman said the county's next step should be continuing that push.
