Biden or Putin: Who poses the greater danger to the world?

By Bill O’Reilly | Commentary, BillOReilly.com My old Fox News teammate Tucker Carlson garnered some attention last week when he told commentator Michael Knowles that he believes Joe Biden is more “evil” than Vladimir Putin. Wow. My new book, “Confronting Evil,” will be out September 9, and Putin is on the cover along with Mao, Hitler, and the Ayatollah Khomeini.  No Joe. A dozen more horrendous miscreants are analyzed inside the book. So, Mr. Carlson’s opinion caught my attention.  Let’s run it down. Tucker Carlson is perhaps the best media marketer in the country.  He’s smart and, very early on, perfected the art of getting attention. Very similar to Donald Trump. In this age of unrestrained social media, provocative statements can ...

Colorado absorbed 43,000 illegal immigrants in 2 years as taxpayers foot the bill

By Warner Todd Huston | Breitbart Colorado gained 43,000 illegal aliens in just two years, a report revealed. The estimated number of illegal aliens living in Colorado jumped from 160,000 in 2021 to more than 200,000 by 2023, according to the latest report by Pew Research Center. The largest number of those illegals ended up in and around Denver, the paper reported. The number has jumped even more in the years covered by the Pew report, according to the Denver News Gazette. The paper noted that city officials pegged the number of illegals entering Denver at 43,000, of which about 20,000 have remained living in the city. The Gazette also claimed that the influx of illegals has cost the taxpayers of the city of Denver at least $100 million. The D...

Polis says Colorado isn’t a sanctuary state but the laws say otherwise

By The Gazette editorial board | Commentary, The Gazette Gov. Jared Polis has distinguished himself in business and politics, yet he arguably missed his true calling — doing stand-up at a comedy club. He’d leave his audience in stitches. Case in point: His thigh-slapper the other day — about Colorado not being a sanctuary state. He had us rolling on the floor. We were laughing through our tears, of course, given the toll illegal immigration has taken here. But there’s no denying the governor is a hoot. He is in fact such a natural-born comic, his familiar, “Sanctuary? What sanctuary?” routine is uproarious even when delivered secondhand by his communications staff. “Colorado is not a sanctuary state,” Polis’ office deadpanned in a news release Thursday for our news affiliate Co...

Tracking the untracked: The dangerous fallout of Biden’s broken migrant child system

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice Each year, children continue to arrive at the southern border without anyone to look after them. They’re officially called unaccompanied alien children—or UACs—but behind that label are thousands of kids trying to navigate an immigration system meant for adults.  Many are handed off to sponsors with little vetting, and some end up trafficked, working illegal jobs, or worse. The surge in vulnerable children Back in the early 2000s, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) was handling fewer than 8,000 unaccompanied kids a year. But that’s changed dramatically.  By 2022, that figure had climbed to over 128,000. The following year saw more than 113,000 children placed with sponsors across the U.S. As of Jul...

Andrews: Every illegal immigrant counted helps the left keep power

By Russ Andrews | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Illegal immigrants are already stealing elections. Just not in the way you might think. Since Biden took office, at least 14 million illegal immigrants have entered the country—on top of the estimated 20 million already living here prior to 2021. Most of us conservatives believe that promoting this foreign invasion of our border was designed to allow those 34 million illegals to eventually vote. In the last election, 56% of Latino immigrants voted Democrat, while 42% voted Republican. The average Congressional district holds approximately 760,000 “residents.’ Notice I wrote “residents,” not citizens. The Census is held every 10 years; the next census will be taken in 2030. EVERYBODY gets counted, whether they are here leg...

Ryun: Biden’s Border Collapse Was Designed to Transform America

By Ned Ryun | Real Clear Politics In light of the Los Angeles riots, certain corporate propagandists are pushing a sympathetic fiction that it was the Biden administration making mistakes and bungling its way through border and immigration policy that got us to this stage. They’re painting a picture of well-meaning Democrats caught in a political riptide – clumsy, unprepared, overwhelmed, a bit naïve but well-meaning. Of course, this narrative is nothing more than a Big Lie, an effort to use corporate media’s reach to rewrite history in real time in hopes that the American electorate will forget the facts and history. Because what we are witnessing in Los Angeles, and what we saw at our southern border for the last four years before Trump won reelection, is not a mistake. It was a de...

‘We followed the rules’—Why Trump’s immigration message is winning over immigrant voters

By Martha McHardy | Newsweek New data shows a growing number of immigrant voters are backing Donald Trump and his hardline immigration agenda—marking a dramatic reversal from past elections. Why It Matters The Trump administration has pledged to carry out the largest mass deportation in U.S. history and has conducted numerous ICE raids, some of which have swept up people with proper documentation. Trump's aggressive stance on immigration has resulted in widespread protests, especially in Los Angeles, where Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles after reported violence against law enforcement, specifically ICE agents carrying out deportation raids in the city. But despite the unrest, data suggests that Trump's messagi...

Garbo: The Left’s silence says more than their spin ever could

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice They don’t talk about egg prices anymore. Inflation has disappeared from their daily talking points. You’ll hear nothing about tariffs, the stock market, or the border crisis they once screamed about nonstop. Why? Because those issues - once weaponized against President Trump - have all improved under his leadership. And with Trump back in office, once again tackling these challenges head-on, the left has lost the argument - and they know it. Every one of these “crises” was once a cudgel. The media elevated each one with the clear goal of assigning blame to President Trump. Yet every time, Trump didn’t run from the issue - he took it head-on, and in full public view. Trump Faced the Fire - and Fixed What They Broke Let’...

“Time to end retirement”: Fabbricatore joins fight to rescue migrant children as ORR Senior Advisor

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice On May 19, 2025, retired ICE official John Fabbricatore stepped into a new role as Senior Advisor at the Office of Refugee Resettlement, just as the agency faces intense scrutiny for failing to track unaccompanied migrant children after release. Fabbricatore’s #FindTheKids hashtag signals a push to close those gaps, but the road ahead is steep. Fabbricatore announced his appointment on X, stating, “Time to end retirement. I was sworn in at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on May 19, 2025, as a Senior Advisor for the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) at the Immediate Office of the Secretary in the Senior Executive Service.”  https://twitter.com/johne_fabb/status/1924576960371421184 ORR ...

Fort Carson strykers head to U.S.-Mexico border to help with immigration enforcement

By Mary Shinn | The Gazette In brisk and windy weather Tuesday, Fort Carson soldiers eased roughly 20-ton Strykers onto flat rail cars for their trip to the U.S.-Mexico border to help with illegal immigration enforcement.  The slow roll of the eight-wheeled Strykers was followed by the clanking of chains as soldiers tied down the vehicles. Other 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team equipment, including jeeps, small trucks, fuel, water and IT vehicles, waited in rows alongside the Strykers for loading.  Over two days, crews expected to load two trains with vehicles. While Strykers can travel by truck or convoy, rail is more efficient.  The brigade plans to send 105 Strykers with advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems to help border patrol agents, an ...
