Trump PAC creates virtual ‘Biden-Mart’ grocery store, with mind-blowing product price hikes since 2021

By Bob Hoge | Red State The Make America Great Again Inc. Trump super PAC has built a Biden grocery store website where you get to pick your items, and then it tells you what the final bill would have been under Trump.  Then it shocks the pants off you with what it now costs after three years plus of Bidenflation.  It's funny and sad at the same time; it's funny because it mocks Biden and his failed policies, but it's sad because those policies have hurt regular Americans.

Minority whip’s report details long bill, ‘good and bad’ bill hearings on tap in House this week

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice Final approval was looming Monday for the "Long Appropriations Bill" in the Colorado House, and Minority Whip Richard Holtorf said Saturday he would be in opposition to the proposal to increase spending by more than $2 billion. Republicans were able to pass a few amendments "aligning with pressing needs of our constituents" to improve the spending bill, a statement in the weekend "Mighty 19 Minute" newsletter reads. The adopted Republican amendments included $2 million for a ninth-grade success grant by Rep. Rose Pugliese, $6.1 million for senior services by Rep. Mary Bradfield, $434,783 for the Colorado Access to Justice Cash Fund by Rep. Matt Soper, $1.0 million for the Veterans Service-to-Career Program by Rep. Anthony Hartsook and Hol...

Bzdek: Dogs are not people. They’re better than that.

By Vince Bzdek | Colorado Springs Gazette Dogs are not people, we must remember, even though we Coloradans often treat them as such with our doggie bars, doggie hotels, and doggie spas. No, dogs are not people. They do not cheat on you, give up on you, ignore you or abandon you during tough times. Their love is pretty much unconditional in my experience, no matter how unlovable their owners sometimes act. Dogs do not have people emotions. No, their emotions are more steadfast and generous than that. Certainly my dog had better social skills than I, always greeting every day, every trail and every person he met like they were the most interesting thing on the planet.

Cooke: Oppressive EPA emissions standard will cost Coloradans plenty

By Amy Oliver Cooke | Complete Colorado There’s so much gaslighting in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recently announced vehicle emissions standards, it may be guilty of expanding the Biden Administration’s carbon footprint simply with the news release. The EPA’s announcement claims its “strongest-ever” emissions standards will: Expand consumer choice in clean vehicles Protect Public Health Address the Climate Crisis Save Drivers Money The reality is that the new standards won’t do much, if anything, for the environment. They will cost consumers more money, reduce vehicle choices, and harm public health. Most egregious is the dictatorial nature of Washington, D.C. deciding for Americans across our vast nation how they can exercise their mobility freedom....

AAA projects an uptick in spring pricing related to market conditions, Ukraine targeting of Russian oil infrastructure By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice The trip to the grocery store or from the Western Slope into the mountains for a getaway could cost you a bit more than anticipated this spring, AAA is projecting in an April 1 report.

House Bill 1363: Does it make charter schools more transparent, or is it a ‘blatant attack’?

By Erica Breunlin | Colorado Sun A bill from a group of liberal Colorado Democrats aimed at increasing transparency and accountability at  charter schools has sparked major opposition, including from Gov. Jared Polis, bipartisan education groups and parents and students. The lawmakers who introduced House Bill 1363 this month say they value charter schools and simply aim to hold them to the same level of scrutiny that public schools face. “School choice is rooted in informed decision-making,” said Rep. Lorena Garcia, a bill sponsor and a Democrat from unincorporated Adams County. “If charter schools are not willing to be open and transparent and support informed decision-making within the parent population, then it begs the question of, what are they actually trying to h...

Denver official caught telling illegal immigrants to leave, go somewhere else

By Matt Vespa | Townhall Denver is a sanctuary city. It’s a haven for these people, thanks to a Democrat-led effort that’s enticed tens of millions to cross into the country illegally. It’s part of the Democrats’ plan to increase their clout on Capitol Hill: flood the country with illegals, increase the population, generate new congressional districts, and select candidates of similar ethnic and racial backgrounds. We all know the end game here. The costs of this massive influx of illegals were not considered.  Denver’s hospital system is on the verge of collapse, which explains why the mayor’s political director was reportedly caught telling illegal aliens to leave the city for the Big Apple.
