Bennet, Weiser join Hands Off protest backed by radical activists, some sporting guillotine signs

COLORADO PEAK POLITICS, Approved, State / / , , , , ,

The political left’s lemmings with nothing better to do in Denver on Easter weekend protested the Trump administration’s efforts to save critical programs from bankruptcy through the elimination of government waste and fraud.

It looks like only the Colorado politicians who recently announced campaigns for governor — U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser — took advantage of the mass anger event to fuel those flames further and capitalize on their desperate need for attention.

Cole: Bureaucracy is crushing the people SSDI was meant to help

Commentary, Approved, National, Rocky Mountain Voice, State, Top Stories / / , ,

When my mom applied for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in the ‘90s, it was a grueling multi-year ordeal that left her feeling invisible. She was sick, unable to work, and the wait for help stretched across years, each one heavier than the last. 

Now, a loved one who applied for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in August 2024 is still waiting for an initial decision, caught in the same slow grind. The SSDI system, meant to be a lifeline, feels like a treadmill you can’t step off—exhausting, endless, and indifferent to the people it’s supposed to lift up.

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.

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

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%, instead of sliding further downward.

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

The Fence Post, Approved, National, State / / , , , , ,

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.

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

The Wall Street Journal, Approved, Commentary, National, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , ,

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.
