President Trump is sounding the drums of war as a cudgel against the Islamofascist regime in Iran, as he simultaneously attempts to negotiate a peace deal which may include exile for the ayatollah and the mullahs currently in power.

Leftist leadership of Colorado can't get out of its own way and just drove out Palantir, one of the state's largest employers, over a new AI law banning 'algorithmic discrimination' based on demographic status, which is hostile toward businesses like Palantir looking to compile accurate data for statistical analysis.

Brittany Vessely, executive director of Colorado Catholic Conference comments on the Orwellian-named 'Legal Protections for Dignity of Minors' bill (SB26-018) which states parents who refuse to affirm the gender identity of their child may have that factor into custody judgments made by a court.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) has been exposed as a shallow partisan, who put the chain of command of our military at risk with his vague, nebulous directive for troops not to follow 'illegal orders' given by President Trump as Commander-in-Chief. When asked for specific examples, he's got nothing. At all.

Rep. Scott Bottoms (R-15) stuns onlookers at a GOP event in Colorado Springs, alleging the existence of a child sex trafficking ring at the state capitol. Is there enough evidence to prove this? And setting that aside, Democrats continue to vote against harsher sentences for child sex traffickers in the state. Why?

Kyle Clark is at it again, injecting his leftist political bias into purported 'news' stories. While accidentally watching 9 NEWS after the Super Bowl, Dan notices the slant in his 'reporting' on the resignation of Denver Archbishop Samuel J Aquila:"Pope Leo has the potential to shift forty years of conservative politics in the Denver Archdiocese, which has seen three staunchly conservative leaders since the mid 1980s. Pope Leo is continuing Pope Francis's work to guide the Church in a more welcoming, less exclusionary direction with a focus on care for the poor - and immigrants.'

Dan shares the amazing story of a 13-year-old Australian boy swimming 4 hours in the freezing ocean to rescue his family. Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) fans the flames of fear and vitriol against ICE agents, claiming they are leaving behind 'death cards' in cars of people they’ve detained.
