Colorado Student Granted Religious Exemption From School’s Digital Monitoring System

By Hannah Metzger | Westword "The district is deeply committed to honoring parental rights." Hail Satan? A young member of the Satanic Temple was granted a religious accommodation from the Elizabeth School District, arguing that the district’s digital hall pass system conflicts with her beliefs. The parents of the Elizabeth High School student had requested that she be exempted from the system, but their request was initially denied, according to TST. That’s when the Temple’s lawyers stepped in. “This was a cut-and-dry case of a TST member’s bodily autonomy being violated by invasive digital controls,” says Eliphaz Costus, campaign director of the Temple’s Protect Children Project. Using the digital hall pass system to monitor and restric...

Congress Challenges Colorado Court Rule Limiting Immigration Enforcement Access

By Nicole C. Brambila | The Denver Gazette The U.S. House Judiciary Committee is seeking information from Colorado’s court administrator regarding a new requirement that attorneys certify they will not use court data for immigration enforcement, arguing it unlawfully obstructs federal law and compels political speech tied to the state’s “sanctuary” policies. Colorado, a blue state that has passed “sanctuary” laws, has been in the crosshairs of the Trump administration, which has cracked down on illegal immigration. Colorado officials, meanwhile, have adopted a confrontational stance against both the administration and Trump’s policies, routinely criticizing the president and suing over an array of issues. Broadly speaking, “sanctuary” policies restrict or prohibit coop...

Judge Deals Polis Another Loss In ICE Subpoena Dispute

By Taylor Dolven | The Colorado Sun Alawsuit filed against Gov. Jared Polis after he attempted to comply with a subpoena from federal immigration officials will continue despite the governor’s efforts to get the case dismissed, a Denver judge ruled Monday. In his ruling, Denver District Judge A. Bruce Jones said Polis’ request to end the case was “untethered to any rule of procedure supporting the relief requested” and cited an “absence of any legal authority.” The ruling marks another loss for the governor in the case first brought last June by Scott Moss, the former director of the Division of Labor Standards and Statistics at Colorado’s Department of Labor. Moss alleged Polis directed him to comply with a subpoena from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement r...

Epstein Emails Reveal Longstanding Envy of Trump’s Success

By Byron York | Commentary, Washington Examiner JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S RESENTMENT TOWARD DONALD TRUMP. There’s no doubt Jeffrey Epstein thought he was a very, very smart guy. “He always thought he was the smartest person in the room,” said one associate. Another said Epstein “thought he was smarter than the next guy.” When in 2008 Epstein pleaded guilty to procurement of a minor for prostitution, his defense asked for leniency based on his “unique intellect.” Someone with such high self-regard can be deeply disturbed if a friend or associate, or a former friend or associate, achieves more, makes more money, and rises higher up society’s ladder than the person who feels he is the smartest guy in the room. Reading through Epstein’s emails released by Republicans on the H...

Trump Labels Antifa A Major Terror Threat

By Scott McCallen | Townhall Pres. Donald Trump is designating Antifa as a major terrorist organization, he said on Truth Social on Wednesday night. "I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" The White House confirmed the post. After Kirk's assassination, Trump said that he would find the groups that fund political violence, Townhall's Katie Pavlich posted. “My administration will find each and everyone of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other poli...
