Joondeph: Are vaccine injuries hiding behind the ‘long COVID’ label?

American Thinker, Approved, National / / , , , , , , ,

The COVID pandemic has resulted in widespread infection and vaccination throughout the United States. According to data from USAFacts, more than 81% of the U.S. population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

96.4% of Americans have COVID antibodies in their blood, indicating previous infection. Most of these two groups overlap, and all vaccinated people should have COVID antibodies in their blood, as the vaccine prompts the body to produce spike proteins to elicit an immune response and facilitate antibody production.

Devotional: The breastplate of righteousness isn’t a costume—it’s combat gear

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, Devotional, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , ,

Reflecting on the lives of remarkable figures—Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham, etc.—we discover a golden thread that weaves through each of their stories: character.

If asked how to live a good, just, and meaningful life, each would likely point not to power, fame, wealth, or status but to the inner life—the heart. Real character, a character that can meet the demands of a harsh reality, they’d say, isn’t a PR stunt; it’s forged in private, rooted in virtue, and revealed in action.

It’s one thing to know what’s right…it’s another to live it. That’s the difference between fantasy and fact.

Westword, Approved, Local, National / / , , , , , , ,

Getting federal approval for permits to build bridges, wind farms, highways and other major infrastructure projects has long been a complicated and time-consuming process. Despite growing calls from both parties for Congress and federal agencies to reform that process, there had been few significant revisions – until now. In one fell swoop, the U.S. Supreme Court has changed a big part of the game.

President Trump signed an executive order Friday that could clear the skies for Boom Supersonic’s Overture, the sleek craft being designed and tested at Centennial Airport that could become the world’s first faster-than-sound jetliner since the Concorde’s final flight in 2003.

The White House described the order as one that ended “decades of stifling regulations” that had grounded U.S. efforts to reestablish supersonic airline flights.

Federal immigration authorities said some of the migrants arrested in the Los Angeles area last week had criminal histories that included assault and drug offenses.

Nearly 45 people were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday alone, as officers swept through several locations, including two Home Depot stores, a store in the fashion district and a doughnut shop, prompting protests that continued through the weekend against immigration enforcement operations in which officers raided businesses to arrest workers. The weeklong tally of migrant arrests in the city surpassed 100.

A crisis of cradle and classroom: How Colorado’s baby bust is closing schools

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , , ,

Colorado’s classrooms are getting quieter – not because kids are learning, but because there are fewer of them. Across the state, dropping birth rates and shrinking enrollment are forcing schools to close, merge or sit half-empty. And the trend isn’t slowing down.

In May, the Common Sense Institute released a report warning that Colorado’s birth rate has been declining since 2005 and has fallen faster than the national average since 2011. The report projects the state will lose more than 15,000 children under age 18 by 2030 – roughly the equivalent of the entire Thompson R2-J school district.

State transportation project shutters 22-year-old Grand Junction auto sales business via eminent domain

The Business Times, Approved, Local / / , , , , ,

For 22 years, GJ Auto Sales was a fixture in the Grand Junction community, a family-run business operated by Amber Colunga Martinez and Mike Martinez. But now, the lot at 320 S. First St. will be transformed into a state-led mobility hub, part of Colorado’s climate-focused transportation plan.

Selling the property to the state of Colorado, the City of Grand Junction and Mesa County due to impending eminent domain has left the couple without enough to financially open up again in a viable location.

The Martinezes said they first learned of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s plans not through official communication, but by reading a story in The Daily Sentinel.

McCombie: Initiative 82 revives push to restrict hunting, override expert conservation

NRA Hunters' Leadership Forum, Approved, Commentary, State / / , , , , , , ,

Colorado anti-hunters are making yet another push to wrest control of that state’s wildlife from wildlife professionals. This time, it is the recently proposed Ballot Initiative 82, the “Colorado Wildlife & Biodiversity Protection Act.”

At its core, Initiative 82 would create an independent commission parallel to the current Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission. This independent commission would then draw up legal protections for unnamed “keystone species” and assess financial penalties for any violations of these protections.

Mayor Mobolade’s town hall tour met with mixed reviews across Colorado Springs

denvergazette.com, Approved, Local / / , , , , , , , , ,

Friday marks two years since Yemi Mobolade was sworn in as Colorado Springs’ 42nd mayor. His achievements so far have drawn mixed reactions from the city’s residents who attended the Report Out Community Tour events this week.

Mobolade launched the tour on May 23, holding a meeting in each of the six Colorado Springs City Council districts to hear how residents felt about the progress made on the goals. The largest turnout was Tuesday night, when several dozen people sat in the auditorium of The Classical Academy for the District 2 meeting.

The crowd was unhappy to find out that Mobolade would not be appearing. City staff and council members said he had attended Monday’s town hall while sick but had begun feeling worse. Mobolade was absent from the events Tuesday and Wednesday and the city rescheduled his telephone town hall to June 25.
