Republican agenda gets rejected at Colorado capitol

By John Frank | Axios Denver GOP state senators started this legislative session with four bills they say would save Colorado families $4,500 a year by cutting regulations and fees. Why it matters: The legislation was doomed to fail in a Democratic-controlled Legislature. But it could force Democrats to take positions in favor of taxes and fees, which could haunt them on the campaign trail. State of play: Three of the GOP bills are dead and the other is not expected to advance. READ THE FULL STORY AT AXIOS DENVER

Garbo: How Democrats weaponized–and betrayed American citizens while defending criminal illegal immigrants

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Democrats have made their priorities unmistakably clear: American citizens come last. The people they swore to represent – the very citizens who pay their salaries and trust them to uphold the Constitution – are now treated as political enemies, stripped of basic rights, and left to rot in the name of partisan gain.  Meanwhile, violent foreign nationals, like MS-13 gang members, are given more care, sympathy, and legal protection than the American people ever receive.  This isn’t just hypocrisy. This is betrayal. Look at how January 6th defendants – the “J6ers” – have been treated. Many of these individuals are nonviolent, first-time offenders who exercised poor judgment on one day. They are American citizens, en...

The left’s sudden crusade for ‘Due process’ is a political smokescreen to defend mass migration

By  Brianna Lyman | The Federalist For weeks, media bombarded Americans with reports about a “Maryland father” who was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador — a sympathetic figure supposedly plucked from the streets in a suburb in Baltimore. At the time it appeared the only available detail that stained Democrats’ caricature of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was his alleged involvement in MS-13. Such an allegation didn’t deter Democrats from rushing to his defense, with Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen going so far as to fly to El Salvador to sit down with Abrego Garcia — a surreal photo-op complete with margaritas. But as Hollen made his visit to El Salvador, new details surfaced: Abrego Garcia wasn’t just allegedly linked to MS-13 — he was also an accused wife-beater and hum...

Joondeph: Why Do Democrats Hate Women and Girls?

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Democrats and their corporate media allies have co-opted the popular narrative on various social issues, including sexism. Republicans provide little, if any, pushback for fear of what the low-rated Sunday talk shows or the Washington Post might say about them. The social issue du jour is transgenderism. Democrats are the party of transgenderism, which represents only a small fraction of the population. However, if you watched prime-time comedy or drama television shows, you might believe that half of America is gender-confused.  Ironically, the Democrat party platform claims to support women. “We are committed to ensuring full equality for women. We will combat biases across economic, political, and social life tha...

Tristan: Democrats are betting on fear to win back power

By George Tristan | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice Nearly all the plexiglass barriers have been removed from checkout lines in grocery stores. It is rare to find any of the 6-foot spaced markers that facilitated social distancing. And thankfully, toilet paper is back in full supply on store shelves. However, the fear of COVID lives on. Many people still wear masks – some even don gloves.  A law enforcement officer recently refused to shake my hand when I extended mine to thank him for his service.  Undoubtedly, the most significant recent example of the effect of fear on the human psyche, was the pandemic. The daily uptick in the global death toll gripped the world in fear. It drove the masses to stand in line to inject an experimental drug into their veins tha...

Rahn: Newsom’s about-face won’t fix the unfairness of men in women’s sports

By Priscilla Rahn | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Recently, several notable Democrats, who supported biological men in women’s sports, are now all of a sudden seeing the light. One notable politician, California Governor Gavin Newsom, recently broke with his party by saying that transgender athletes playing in female sports is "deeply unfair."  Many believe he’s switching horses midstream because he’s eyeing a presidential bid in 2028 and needs to appear moderate.   Whether he and others are sincere in their new found beliefs remains to be seen.   I have spent a great deal of time studying the intricacies of athletic performance and the physical differences that shape how we move. I developed that understanding as a competitive tennis player, w...

Joondeph: Democrats stand for Ukraine but sit for America

By Brian C. Joondeph | American Thinker Republicans hold only slim majorities in Congress, particularly in the House. Midterm elections typically shift control to the party not in the White House. Democrats need only a few more House seats to hinder President Trump’s final two years in office and will seek to impeach him daily until he leaves in January 2029.Trump’s first month in office has been like a wrecking ball, disastrous for the entrenched ruling class and administrative state. The unavoidable chaos resulting from dismantling a massive bureaucracy, exacerbated by corporate media gaslighting, could tilt enough midterm votes to flip at least one house of Congress to the Democrats.That’s the likely scenario, assuming Democrats present a compelling and attractive alternative agen...

Ross: Democrats have turned Women’s History month into a joke

By Kimberly Ross | Washington Examiner, Commentary Since President Ronald Reagan, every president, Republican and Democrat, has recognized March as Women’s History Month. The purpose of this observance is purportedly to honor women, their role in our nation’s history, and their continued influence. But in recent years, the leftist obsession with expanding the definition of “woman” has made a mockery of everything truly feminine in favor of appeasing the few. The idea that transgender women, who are biological males, should literally be treated and counted as women is increasing in popularity. After President Donald Trump signed executive orders declaring the government would not fund programs that support gender ideology or so-called gender transition for chi...

Thune squeezes Democrats with transgender athlete Senate vote

By David Sivak | Washington Examiner Senate Democrats will take a politically difficult vote on Monday when Republicans bring to the floor a bill preventing transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which withholds federal funding to schools that permit transgender participation, is not likely to become law due to the Senate filibuster. But the vote, teed up Thursday by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), suggests the continued potency Republicans see in transgender politics after putting it front and center in the 2024 election. It is one of the first bills Senate GOP leadership is prioritizing since retaking the majority in January. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Department of Justice three Democrats charged with election fraud

By William Upton | The National Pulse Three officials from the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania have been indicted in federal court for allegedly conspiring to unlawfully manipulate their elections by illegally adding individuals to voter rolls. Vice President of the Borough of Millbourne Council Md Nurul Hasan, Council Member Md Munsur Ali, and former Council Member Md Rafikul Islam were charged on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on 16 counts each of election fraud for falsifying voter registrations. According to federal prosecutors, the three men—all of Bangladeshi origin—used an online voter registration portal to inflate the voter rolls in an effort to win borough council seats during a 2021 local primary elect...
