Colorado Rep. Gabe Evans Leads Bipartisan Push to Protect Ratepayers From Data Center Costs

By Nico Portuondo and Amelia Davidson | POLITICO The vote gives House Republicans a bipartisan win on an issue that has become increasingly politically fraught ahead of the midterm elections. House lawmakers on Wednesday easily passed the first major legislative action to address the costs of the AI boom, a bill intended to shield Americans from potential energy costs associated with data centers. The Ratepayer Protection Act, which has become the House GOP’s signature legislation to address the costs of the data center build-out ahead of the midterm elections, was passed in a broad bipartisan vote of 417-3. “Large load data centers must cover the full costs of any system updates they require, not families or small businesses. We cannot accelerate this gr...

Boebert Says Border Enforcement Is Delivering Results for Colorado and America

By Rep. Lauren Boebert | Commentary, The Hill For four years under the Biden administration, Americans watched our southern border collapse. Record numbers of illegal crossings poured into the country. Cartels flourished. Fentanyl flooded our communities. Criminal illegal immigrants, including members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang, embedded themselves in my home state of Colorado and across the United States. The previous administration’s open-border policies were a choice. That chaos ended when President Trump returned to office and Republicans in Congress kept the promise we made to the American people. At the start of the 119th Congress, I voted for the Laken Riley Act, which requires the detention of illegal immigrants charged with theft, burgl...

Wrongful Death Notice Alleges Security Failures Before Charlie Kirk Assassination

By AP | Denver7 Charlie Kirk’s family blames Utah officials and UVU security lapses for his 2025 assassination in a wrongful death notice ahead of a possible lawsuit. Charlie Kirk’s family blamed Utah officials for failing to prevent the conservative activist’s assassination at a state university, in a wrongful death notice announced Wednesday that presages a possible lawsuit. Attorneys for the family said Kirk's death resulted from a string of “reckless decisions” by officials at Utah Valley University that left him exposed to a rooftop sniper, who fired a fatal shot from more than 400 feet away on Sept. 10, 2025. The university has faced harsh criticism for a lack of key safety measures on the day of the shooting. Kirk, 31, had been debating students in an outdo...

Newsom Says He Will Sit Out 2028 Race if Harris Runs

By Raquel Coronell Uribe | NBC News The California governor said there was too much “crossover” between his base and Harris’ and that it would be an electoral “gift” for everybody else if they both ran. California Gov. Gavin Newsom made a surprise announcement that he won’t launch a 2028 White House bid if former Vice President Kamala Harris decides to run again. “I wouldn’t run if she ran,” Newsom told CNN in an interview that aired Monday evening. Newsom said running against Harris, a fellow California Democrat who was the state’s attorney general before she became a senator, would be an electoral “gift” for everybody else. “They’d enjoy the hell out of it. Mutual assured destruction. It services no greater good. Why would I do thi...

Joondeph: Pediatric gender medicine is cracking under its own evidence

By Brian C. Joondeph, M.D. | Commentary, American Thinker When ideology overrides biology, it isn’t compassion — it’s harm dressed as progress. For nearly a decade, Americans were told to deny what biology, common sense, and their own eyes made plain. Men could become women. Women could become men. Children were fully capable of choosing sterilizing hormones. Puberty blockers were “reversible.” And anyone who questioned any of it was a bigot. It was one of the most aggressive campaigns of magical thinking in modern public life. We were told sex was “assigned at birth,” as if doctors in delivery rooms were rolling dice rather than observing biological reality. Chromosomes, anatomy, and reproductive function were suddenly deemed less important t...

Only Congress can tax you. So why are unelected regulators doing it?

By Jay Davidson | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice "I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power." —Thomas Jefferson (1820) A battle of wills has been developing over the past 100 years, actually longer. It's a war between ideas, principles, philosophy and is the seminal event for our children's children. In truth, this conflict is eternal. Once we realize the dividing lines, our life philosophy comes clear. What type of government best suits the concept that Jefferson (the...

Supreme Court Blocks Postal Service Changes for Mail-In Ballots

By Misty Severi | Just the News The majority of justices merely determined that the administration's position was unlikely to succeed. The Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump's mail-in voting order on Monday, allowing a lower court's ruling to remain in effect. The ruling, which marked a major blow to the Trump administration, blocked proposed changes to the United States Postal Service that would require states to submit mail-in voter lists to the service. The service would then refuse delivery of ballots to recipients not on the list. READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT JUST THE NEWS

Vandals Target Charlie Kirk Statue Outside Turning Point USA Headquarters

By Zoe Hussain | New York Post A brand-new statue of slain conservative icon Charlie Kirk was vandalized in Arizona — just days after it was unveiled for the one-year anniversary of his death. The 8-foot statue of Kirk at Turning Point USA’s Phoenix headquarters, as well as a nearby poster memorial in front of the statue, was defaced with red paint overnight Sunday, AZ Family reported. Cops responded to calls about the defaced memorial just after 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, the Phoenix Police Department said in a statement to The Post. The statue was installed on Thursday to mark a year since the 31-year-old TPUSA co-founder was gunned down at an open-mic event at Utah Valley University. Photos from AZ Family showed the red paint smeared over the statu...

The Decisiveness Weapon: Charlie and the Truth Factory 

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As I sit quietly this morning, rather than a nursery rhyme, a children's tale keeps illuminating my imagination: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with three injuries weighing upon my soul. Yesterday marked one year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Today marks twenty-five years since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. And here at home, my wife, Sherrie, has spent more than 300 days bedridden. While being treated for glioblastoma, she was dropped on her head during hospital care, suffering injuries that left her unable to walk. One injury is political and cultural. One is national and collective. One is deeply personal. Each has brought pain. Each has produced loss. And each places the same question before the...
