Pedestrians bothered by anti-Trump sign in downtown Denver using profanity

By Shaul Turner | Fox 31 News A disturbing sign hung from a downtown Denver condominium balcony is causing a range of reactions from residents and passersby. “That’s not the only sign I’ve seen like that,” said one pedestrian. Political signs remain on display in the windows and on balconies near 19th Avenue and Grant Street.

Castle Rock passes measure supporting Trump’s deportation plan

By Noah Festenstein | Denver Gazette via Colorado Politics Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s response to the president-elect’s illegal immigration deportation strategy has prompted one Colorado town to push back — again. Since Johnston took office in July 2023, Denver has welcomed nearly 43,000 immigrants, most whom illegally crossed the southern border, into Colorado’s most populous city. Johnston, a Democrat, recently made national headlines when he told local news blog Denverite the city’s police and “50,000 Denverites” would not comply with President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to deport thousands of immigrants currently residing illegally in the Mile High City. Denver’s mayor even suggested he’d go to jail if necessary.  READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS...

Colorado GOP petitioning Trump to ‘revoke and rescind illegal pardon’

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice The Colorado Republican Party is petitioning President-elect Donald J. Trump to revoke and rescind the pardon of Hunter Biden, issued Sunday by his father, President Joe Biden. In a link shared through Twitter on the party's official account, Republicans are asked to sign the petition requesting Trump "revoke and rescind the portions of this pardon that are illegal and unconstitutional after he is sworn in on Jan. 20, 2025." The webpage includes an image of the pardon with Joe Biden's signature. "Joe Biden issued a far sweeping and, quite frankly, illegal pardon for his criminal son Hunter Biden," the webpage begins. "This is not only a clear and corrupt conflict of interest that highlights the double standards of radical Democrats and the...

Gavin Newsom seeks $25 million legal fund to ‘Trump-proof’ California, fight federal policy

By David Krayden | The Post Millennial Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) wants to establish a $25 million legal fund to fight the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump in the courts – even though California is looking at a massive shortfall in funds.  The move from Newsom and the California legislature is seeking to “Trump-proof” the state for Trump’s second term in office, the Daily Mail reported. There is little love lost between Newsome and Trump, who often reminds Americans about the exodus of people leaving California because of its policies.   If Newsom’s legal fund is approved, the state Department of Justice as well as government agencies would receive more money to prepare for litigation over such liberal policy areas as abortion rights, climate c...

Colorado law could complicate Trump’s mass deportation plan, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman says

By Shaun Boyd | CBS Colorado Less than two months after President-elect Donald Trump announced "Operation Aurora" -- a.k.a. operation mass deportation -- Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman says he shouldn't expect much help in Colorado. "At this point, there's really nothing we can do -- there's nothing to prepare for -- because we really have no authority," Coffman said. It's against state law for local law enforcement in Colorado to cooperate with federal immigration agents. While Douglas County and El Paso County have challenged the law in court, unless it's overturned, Coffman says Trump will be on his own in the Centennial State. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

Rosen: Voters paved path forward for Trump, GOP majority

By Mike Rosen | Commentary, Complete Colorado Two years ago, I predicted that Joe Biden wouldn’t be on the presidential ballot by November 2024.  After Kamala Harris secured the nomination, my rosy scenario was a Trump victory riding a red wave.  (It’s true I picked Dewey over Truman in 1948, but I was only three-years-old then.) Now, all the usual Democrat suspects, the liberal media, and other assorted sore losers are up in arms over President-elect Trump’s announced selections for cabinet posts and other leadership positions in his incoming administration.  Really, Rachel Maddow and the crew of lefty wackos at MSNBC are outraged?  Isn’t that too bad?  Trump’s appropriate response should echo the eloquent words of President Barack Obama when he met with def...
