“Write your own rules?” Douglas County voters to decide if it’s time for Home Rule

On June 24, Douglas County voters will weigh in on whether to create a Home Rule Charter Commission – and decide who should serve on it. The commission would be made up of 21 members, including six from each commissioner district and three at-large.

If the measure passes, the elected commission will draft a charter that could reshape county governance.

Ballots were mailed starting June 2. Drop boxes and in-person voting will remain open through 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Before voters decide, it’s worth understanding what’s at stake: Home Rule would give Douglas County the chance to write its own charter – a localized framework for how the county governs itself.

Weaponizing 911: Romanian national pleads guilty to swatting 75+ public officials in multi-year plot

A Romanian national pleaded guilty on Monday to charges related to his role in a “swatting” ring that targeted dozens of public officials, including a former US president. 

Going by the aliases “Plank,” “Jonah” and “Cypher,” 26-year-old Thomasz Szabo took part in a years-long conspiracy to place bogus 911 calls, claiming emergencies were taking place at the homes of top government officials, and make bomb threats against government buildings and houses of worship, according to Justice Department. 

Szabo and a co-conspirator, 21-year-old Serbian national Nemanja Radovanovic, allegedly targeted about 100 people, including members of Congress, governors, cabinet-level executive branch officials and state officials.

Walcher: It’s not just Chinese farmland—it’s unchecked federal control over 700 million acres

An article BBC Science Focus highlights the difficulties of “multi-tasking,” handling several things at a time, which apparently most of us don’t do very well. “In an ideal world, we’d focus on one task at a time, get it finished and only then move onto something else.”

But in real life, “It’s all too common for you to be making great progress on one thing, when… BAM! You suddenly need to deal with something else.”

That is common, not only in our personal lives, but also in government. In the decade I worked on Capitol Hill, no crisis happened on any Monday morning. Instead, whenever we were winding down some big project, a new crisis would appear, usually at 4:00 pm on Friday. Multi-tasking wasn’t a popular term back then, but it aptly describes many situations in government.

Denver City Council considering plan to fix voter disconnect in at-large races

Citing concerns of voter confusion and wasted votes, five Denver City Council members are proposing the city change how it elects its two citywide at-large council seats by splitting them into two separate races.

They say the move will also increase voter participation.

Currently, the at-large members are elected on a single ballot, with the top two vote-getters declared the winners, District 2 Councilmember Kevin Flynn said.

Every elected official in Denver, except for the at-large candidates, must be elected by greater than 50% of the vote, city officials said during Monday’s City Budget and Policy Committee meeting.

Noem: ‘We are going to do mass deportations to enforce the law’

During this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was defiant in response to detractors of the Trump administration’s immigration policy, who claim deportations were hurting the U.S. economy.

Noem told host Maria Bartiromo that President Donald Trump’s deportation pledge was part of his 2024 presidential campaign and “what the American people elected him to do.”

Hancock: Saving Liberty in an Age of Manufactured Tyranny

There is a form of political ventriloquism occurring in America. The left warns, with breathless urgency, that Donald Trump is a dictator in waiting, a Mussolini in a red tie, poised to crush democracy with a golf swing and a sneer. 

Yet while they scream “authoritarianism,” they themselves quietly build its infrastructure.

Kalam: Colorado’s Woke Zealotry Ushers Islamist Terror into Boulder

Just over a week ago, I warned that the shooting of two young Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C., by a far-left zealot chanting “Free Palestine” was not an isolated act but a harbinger. 

In progressive strongholds, where criminal fanatics like Luigi Mangione are lionized, such violence would not merely persist—it would metastasize. And so it has. In Boulder, Colorado, barely an hour from my home, the grim prophecy has been fulfilled.
