Devotional: Why your heart needs the breastplate of righteousness

In a swirling sea of spiritual confusion—where feelings often masquerade as faith, manmade systems can overshadow true surrender, and emotional highs might be mistaken for holiness—it’s no wonder that many sincere believers feel exposed, exhausted, and uncertain.

The enemy is crafty, and his fiery darts aren’t always the obvious attacks; frequently, they are subtle distortions aimed straight at our hearts. That’s why, as we see in Ephesians 6, Christians must don the full armor of God, and especially the centerpiece: the Breastplate of Righteousness.

CPW exterminates ‘Wolf 2405’ after four attacks in eight days killing livestock in Pitkin County

Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials have killed a gray wolf that was believed to be involved in a series of attacks that killed two livestock calves and injured three more calves and one cow in Pitkin County.

The series of attacks meets the agency’s criteria for “chronic depredation” that it finalized in January: three or more depredation events caused by the same wolf or wolves within a 30-day period, with “clear and convincing evidence” of at least one of the attacks.

40% of Arapahoe roads rated poor—even after tax hike

With years of deferred maintenance and not enough funding, some Arapahoe County roads are not getting the repairs they need and are quickly falling apart. County leaders say it’s in part due to a major shortfall with the overall county budget and inflation. However, the county hopes that additional revenue generated by the passage of a ballot measure last November might help make much-needed road improvements.

The county’s 2024 “Annual Report and Infrastructure Report Card” released this May shares more information about the status of the county’s roads.

Meet the anti-Greta: This young meteorologist is unraveling climate myths with data

CHARLES TOWN, West Virginia — Chris Martz was still in diapers when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005 — but that moment, he says, kicked off the political indoctrination of “extreme weather events.”

Now the 22-year-old freshly minted college grad has decided to make it his life’s mission to lower the temperature on climate hysteria.

“I’m the anti-Greta Thunberg. In fact, she’s only 19 days older than me,” Martz tells The Post, barely a week out from receiving his undergraduate degree in meteorology from Pennsylvania’s Millersville University.

The COvid Chronicles May 16–23, 2020: Deaths dipped—but the definition got slippery

More than two months into government-mandated shutdowns, Coloradans had lost patience—and begun reclaiming their fearlessness. After surrendering jobs, shuttering schools, isolating loved ones, and forfeiting springtime rites of faith and family, many started asking the obvious: What was all this really for?

Yes, people had gotten sick. Yes, some had died—mostly the elderly and already ill. But the fear campaign pushed by Gov. Jared Polis, unelected bureaucrats, and a compliant media no longer matched what Coloradans saw with their own eyes.

The warm May sun only strengthened their resolve. As COVID numbers flatlined and trust in “death counts” crumbled, clear-eyed citizens began asking hard questions—and the answers were ugly. Behind the briefings and sanitized soundbites, the state was quietly reclassifying deaths, inflating the data, and overriding doctors who dared to dissent.

10 months after killing Kaitlyn Weaver, ICE arrests illegal teen prosecutors let walk

An illegal immigrant teenager who was spared jail time after he was convicted of killing a Colorado woman in a high-speed crash has been arrested, along with his family, by immigration authorities. 

The 16-year-old from Colombia was sentenced to probation and community service for the July 2024 death of Kaitlyn Weaver, 24, in Aurora after striking a plea deal with prosecutors. 

The teen, who has not been publicly named because of state laws that shield the identity of underage criminal suspects, was arrested May 20 along with his family, who were also living in the United States illegally, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said.

Chamber report flags 200K Colorado regulations as “excessive or duplicative”

Colorado’s regulatory framework took the center stage during this year’s legislative session, where lawmakers clashed over proposed measures that — depending on who is asked — either benefit workers or create new burdens on businesses.

Behind these two competing frameworks are the Colorado Chamber of Commerce and the Colorado Fiscal Institute.

On the one hand, the chamber and its allies argue that regulations have increased significantly over the past decade, putting up unnecessary barriers for businesses. On the other hand, the Colorado Fiscal Institute and its supporters maintain that the rules are essential to protect workers and consumers from harmful practices.

Message still matters: How Caliber Contact’s Pollie-winning campaign helped defeat Colorado’s Prop 127

When Colorado voters rejected Proposition 127 in 2024, they didn’t just weigh in on mountain lions and bobcats – they delivered a decisive verdict on who should shape wildlife policy. In the state’s first failed wildlife ballot measure since 1992, 54.7% voted no. 

Behind that result was an award-winning campaign by Caliber Contact, a Republican firm that reframed the issue through a values-driven lens by tapping into safety concerns, protective instincts and the voice of everyday Coloradans – over celebrity advocates.

HHS terminating $750M for Moderna’s mRNA-based bird flu vaccines amid safety concerns

President Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is terminating awards totaling more than $750 million dollars that were provided to pharmaceutical manufacturer Moderna to help facilitate its production of mRNA-based bird flu vaccines. 

During President Joe Biden’s final week in office, his administration awarded $590 million to Moderna to help speed up its production of mRNA-based vaccines. The $590 million award followed a separate $176 million award Biden gave to Moderna earlier last year for mRNA vaccine technology.
