Colorado man sentenced to 7 years for trafficking women across state lines

By Heather Willard | Fox 31 DENVER (KDVR) — A 41-year-old man will spend seven years in federal prison after he recruited two victims to work for him as prostitutes and transported them between states. Walter Conwell, 41, was sentenced on Aug. 21 to seven years in federal prison, followed by eight years of supervised release, after he pleaded guilty to two counts of interstate transportation of an individual for prostitution. Neighbors shocked after man says he was stabbed while fishing at McKay Lake “Federal prison is the appropriate place for a man who somehow convinced himself it was okay to take everything from these young women and sell them for sex,” said United States Attorney Peter McNeilly in his office’s press release. “This case demonstrates our unwavering commitment to...

Trans propaganda merch embraced by Democrat officials and activists calls to ‘protect trans kids’ and kill ‘fascists’

By Katie Daviscourt | The Post Millennial Calls for trans persons to arm themselves along with shirts showing weapons and emblazoned with the words "protect trans kids" have been cited. Democratic officials and leftist activists have been encouraging an apparent surge in trans violence across the nation, critics claim. One recurring element in discussions is apparel and stickers featuring the slogan "Protect Trans Kids," often paired with images of rifles, knives, or other weapons.  While some left-wing trans activists argue that such merchandise symbolizes a strong defense of transgender youth amid anti-child mutilation legislation, critics interpret them as implicit threats or calls to violence. Some of this merch also feature the lines, “Trans rights ... or else” paired with gu...

President Trump’s federal crackdown exposes crime data cover-ups in Washington, D.C.

By Richard Moorhead | Commentary, The Western Journal From the Nation’s capital to sanctuary cities coast-to-coast, President Donald J. Trump is demonstrating unwavering resolve and effective leadership in restoring law and order and the safety American families deserve. In the heart of Washington, D.C., under President Trump’s decisive leadership, the federal government invoked Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to declare a “crime emergency” and place the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control — an unprecedented move guided by the urgent need to protect Americans under siege. This bold action deployed National Guard troops and federal agents, resulting in more than 400 arrests, including 60 individuals suspected...

Trump allies spotlight fentanyl crisis as border battle intensifies

By Brooke Singman | Fox News FIRST ON FOX: A new campaign launched on Monday to help fulfill President Donald Trump's pledge to reduce fentanyl overdose deaths, which are one of the nation's deadliest public health crises. The campaign, titled Make America Fentanyl Free, is described as a privately-funded multi-million-dollar ad blitz on national and local television, and across all major social media platforms, including X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook. The effort, which was first shared with Fox News Digital on Monday, aims to reduce the number of Americans killed by fentanyl, a highly potent and extremely dangerous synthetic opioid. Fentanyl and fentanyl-related drugs have been responsible for most drug overdose deaths in the U.S. for nearly a dec...

Pettersen questions ICE actions in Chaffee County, agency defends its record

By: Matt Thornton | FOX31 Denver DENVER (KDVR) — A U.S. Congresswoman and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are sparring online over immigration enforcement actions purportedly taken in Chaffee County this week. “We have been notified that people who are here legally have been detained in Chaffee County,” wrote Rep. Brittany Pettersen on X on Wednesday afternoon. “Truly unimaginable that this is happening in the United States of America where freedom and democracy and the rule of law were the envy of the world. “None of us can stand on the sidelines while this is happening. My office will be following their case and getting additional information,” Pettersen continued. “We are available to submit inquiries to ICE on your behalf if you or a loved one are detained.” ...

President Trump pulls off three major moves while media chases its tail

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker One of President Donald Trump’s biggest political strengths is his unpredictability. He refuses to follow the rules of the Washington establishment, and in doing so, he keeps both his domestic opponents and foreign adversaries constantly off balance. While most presidents telegraph their intentions months in advance, Trump often operates behind the scenes, distracting the media with comments that trigger hours of frenzied speculation on cable news panels. He has joked about buying Greenland, pondered serving a third term, and thrown barbs at world leaders, not as random outbursts, but as part of a deliberate strategy to shape and steer the political narrative. Remember the so-called “rocket man” exchange with North Korea’s Ki...

Full video shows attack on elderly pro‑lifers outside Planned Parenthood

By Leif Le Manieu | Daily Wire The man who avoided jail time after brutally beating two elderly pro-life advocates in Baltimore accused them of bothering “vulnerable people” seconds before attacking them, according to surveillance footage obtained by The Daily Wire. Patrick Brice, 28, was sentenced by Baltimore Judge Yvette Bryant on Thursday to just one year of home confinement and three years of probation for attacking 73-year-old Mark Crosby and 84-year-old Richard Schaefer as they stood outside Planned Parenthood doing pro-life sidewalk counseling. Crosby was left with serious injuries to his face and multiple fractures. Before attacking the elderly men, Brice engaged in a heated argument with Schaefer where he told him to “quit bothering vulnerable people.” He then ...

DNA deception? Colorado crime lab analyst under fire delays arraignment

BY VICENTE ARENAS | KDVR FOX 31 GOLDEN, Colo. (KDVR) — The defense attorney representing Yvonne Missy Woods asked a district judge on Monday for a continuance of her arraignment. Attorney Tom Ward told the judge his team needed more time to look more new evidence that they must now look at in the case. “Just this morning, we received a disclosure of another 5,000 pages of stamped materials. Given the length of time that the allegations cover, and the breadth of the materials that we have to deal with. We are asking to set this for October 27,” Ward said. The judge granted the continuance. Woods, a former CBI forensic analyst, is accused of more than 100 felony counts for her work at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

“We absolutely back the badge”: Mesa County defends deputy in federal suit

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice Mesa County is taking Colorado’s top political figures to court. On Tuesday, commissioners unanimously voted to authorize a federal lawsuit against Governor Jared Polis and Attorney General Phil Weiser over what they called “politically motivated litigation” targeting local law enforcement under a controversial new state law.

State Targets Law Enforcement for Cooperating with Federal Immigration Agents

By Landon Mion | Fox News Mesa County deputies Alexander Zwinck and Erik Olson were placed on unpaid leave after sharing information with ICE following traffic stops. Two Colorado deputies have been disciplined for sharing information with federal immigration agents, which is a violation of state law enacted a few months ago. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser sued Mesa County Sheriff's Deputy Alexander Zwinck last week after his cooperation with federal immigration agents on a drug task force was exposed during a Brazilian college student's arrest for an expired visa, according to The Associated Press. While addressing the incident on Thursday, Mesa County Sheriff Todd Rowell said Caroline Dias-Goncalves, a 19-year-old nursing student, was pulled over by Zwinck for a traffi...
