Clinton speaks with Biden more than Obama, aides say

By Annabella Rosciglione | Colorado Springs Gazette Despite spending eight years as Barack Obama’s vice president, Joe Biden is more regularly in contact with former President Bill Clinton than he is with Obama. In a Washington Post report, aides shared that while Biden does speak to Obama regularly, he is in closer contact with Clinton, as the two share a similar “outgoing” style. “Beneath the surface, [Biden and Obama’s relationship] has had very serious ups and downs over time, both personal and especially political,” Gabriel Debenedetti, author of The Long Alliance: The Imperfect Union of Joe Biden and Barack Obama, said in an interview with Time magazine.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE

‘Newcomers’: The Biden Administration’s new word for illegal immigrants

By Paul Bedard | Colorado Springs Gazette Critics of President Joe Biden’s open borders agenda that has seen millions of illegal immigrants cross into the United States today ripped his characterization of them as simply “newcomers.” To complement his visit to the Texas border today, the White House released highlights of the unpassable comprehensive border legislation in the Senate. In it, they wrote, “The bill also includes $1.4 billion for cities and states who are providing critical services to newcomers, and would expedite work permits for people who are in the country and qualify.” The reaction to calling those here illegally as “newcomers” in a week when one has been charged in the brutal beating death of a Georgia nursing student was swift onl...

Presidential long-shot eyes DC’s 19 delegates ‘to take down’ Trump

By Paul Bedard | Colorado Springs Gazette The last man standing in the Republican primary race to stop former President Donald Trump’s march to a third GOP nomination hopes to show his hand and take all 19 delegates available at this weekend’s Washington, D.C., primary. “The plan is simple: demonstrate to America that Trump is not inevitable,” David Stuckenberg told Secrets on Wednesday. “We hope to have 19 [delegates] when we win the district.” Stuckenberg, an Air Force veteran and combat pilot who helped build a company that makes water out of the air, unveiled his “Operation Dark Horse” in November and has been running for president ever since. While he hasn’t won any delegates, he has big hopes for the three-day Washington primary held traditio...

Colorado National Guard training with Jordanians as conflict persists in the Middle East

By Mary Shinn | Colorado Springs Gazette As conflict persists in the Middle East, the Colorado National Guard is playing a key role in maintaining America's partnership with Jordan, a U.S. ally in the region.  Colorado National Guard members were in Jordan last week training with Jordanian units, during one of the 35 annual training events organized between the local guard and Jordan, said Brig. Gen. Michael Bruno, who oversees the partnership. About half of the weeklong training events take place in Colorado and half in Jordan.  The partnership, now in its 20th year, has helped lay the groundwork for the U.S. to more easily work with Jordan if needed and trained Jordanians to be more capable, he said.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE

Report: McDaniel offered to step down from RNC leadership if Trump wanted her out

By Rachel Schilke | Colorado Springs Gazette Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel reportedly said she would step down as chairwoman if former President Donald Trump became the nominee and wanted her out. McDaniel believes the Republican nominee deserves a chairperson they can trust, so she said she would resign from her post if that was what Trump wished, according to the Washington Post. It looks like this may come to pass, as reports are circulating that McDaniel will step down after South Carolina's primary on Feb. 24. Her resignation after many years in leadership came after she faced a slew of criticism from party members and the former president, who has appeared to have changed his tune on McDaniel in rece...
