He cited several personal reasons for his departure, including his "growing family." "In the chaotic world of D.C. and the RNC, Mike Reed has been a calm and steady hand as our chief of staff," RNC Chairwoman ...

Mayor says government must care for migrants arriving in Colorado Springs

By Breeanna Jent | The Gazette Mayor Yemi Mobolade on Friday called on President Joe Biden and federal partners to help ensure a surge of undocumented immigrants crossing the country's southern border does not become a 'crisis' in Colorado Springs. "Immigration is a federal responsibility. It's not in the city's purview but because we have not taken care of the crisis at our southern border, it's meeting our city. I do call on the president of the United States and federal partners to help us to ensure that this crisis doesn't impact our city," Mobolade said from his downtown office during an afternoon broadcast on Facebook Live.

Ordinance banning homeless encampment sweeps during frigid weather vetoed by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston

By Noah Festenstein | The Gazette Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on Friday vetoed an ordinance approved by the City Council that would have banned homeless encampment sweeps during frigid temperatures, arguing it contravenes the city's camping ban.   Already, the councilmembers who sponsored the ordinance intend to bring it back before the council on Feb. 12, a move that signaled their attention to override the mayor's veto.  In Johnston's first veto since taking office in July, the mayor's office said the proposal "would make it more difficult for the city to help people experiencing homelessness get inside during cold, unsafe conditions." "Though well-intentioned, this legislation would restrict the city’s ability to do this life-saving work for approximately four ...

Reagan biographer: President hated the ‘Swamp,’ ‘didn’t like what it represented’

By Paul Bedard | Denver Gazette Former President Donald Trump made no secret that he hated Washington, D.C., when he first ran for president. He even nicknamed it the “Swamp.” But no modern president more than Ronald Reagan meant it as much and showed the city his backside as often. Here’s how Reagan biographer Craig Shirley, the author of the forthcoming book The Search for Reagan: The Appealing Intellectual Conservatism of Ronald Reagan, described the Gipper’s disdain. “Reagan left town whenever he could. He was at his California ranch for one year out of his presidency.  He and Nancy went to Camp David almost every weekend. They got out of Dodge whenever they could. He didn't like Washington. He didn't like what it represente...

Voters: Biden is losing it, and the media are covering it up

By Paul Bedard | Denver Gazette There is a growing concern among voters that President Joe Biden is losing his mental edge and that the media are working overtime to hide it. In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 59% of voters said they believe Biden “is getting less and less mentally sharp over time.” White voters at 59% and black voters at 58% are in agreement that Biden is becoming more mentally challenged. Even 36% of Democrats agree, Rasmussen said. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

Could GOP leader Ronna McDaniel be out? Trump suggests she could be removed

By Conrad Hoyt | The Gazette Former President Donald Trump said there will "probably be some changes made" regarding the Republican National Committee and its chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel. Speaking on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures, the Republican presidential front-runner maintained that he has "nothing to do" with the RNC. He then spoke candidly about McDaniel, his longtime ally and a woman he helped secure the post in 2017 after she helped him win Michigan in the 2016 presidential election. Host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump how he thought McDaniel was doing in her current role, to which he paused before answering: "I think she did great when she ran Michigan for me. I think she did OK, initially, in the RNC. I would say right now, there'll probably be s...

Noem accused of using border crisis to boost her chances of becoming VP

By Jenny Goldsberry | Colorado Springs Gazette The Oglala Sioux tribe has banished Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) from its reservation over her comments on the border, claiming she's using the border crisis to "increase her chances" of becoming vice president. The tribe's president, Frank Star Comes Out, sent a letter to the governor Friday following Noem's speech to the legislature on Jan. 31. While he made it clear the Oglala Sioux are neither a Republican tribe nor a Democratic one, he wrote the letter in defense of the "Indian people from such places as El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico" that are seeking a better life. "The truth of the matter is that Governor Noem wants the use of the so-called 'invasion' of the southern border as a Republican 'cr...
