It’s official: Amache National Historic Site in Southeast Colorado ensures federal protection for former Japanese American incarceration camp

By Kevin Simpson | Colorado Sun Nearly two years after legislation designated the site of Colorado’s Granada War Relocation Center — also known as Camp Amache — part of the National Park System, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland on Thursday formally closed the deal that creates Amache National Historic Site, ensuring federal protection for the grounds where more than 10,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II. Details surrounding Granada’s official acquisition and donation of the land were recently finalized to clear the way for the National Park Service to assume management of the site, which sits on nearly one square mile just outside of the southeastern Colorado town. Amache opened in 1942 and closed in 1945. It was the smallest of 10 suc...

Hickenlooper plays politics with border security

By Colorado Peak Politics What we have here is a failure to communicate. Senate advances military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan https://t.co/HM0fEz0TFI— Caitlyn Kim (@caitlynkim) February 13, 2024 When Democrats say they want border security, what they mean is Joe and Jody Taxpayer need to cough up more money by the billions to pay for an entire new infrastructure to keep borders open and migrants pouring through by the millions. When Republicans say they want border security, what they mean is Joe Biden needs to reverse his policies abusing immigration policies to allow migrants by the millions to pour through the border. And, fix the border wall where drug dealers, criminals, terrorists and human traffickers lurk. The solution to an out-of-control migrant cri...

House votes to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas over border crisis

U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Windsor, among three Republicans to oppose impeachment By Elizabeth Elkind , Bradford Betz | Fox News Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been impeached by the House of Representatives. A Cabinet secretary has not been impeached by the U.S. Congress since 1876. Tuesday evening’s vote marked House Republicans’ second attempt at impeaching Mayorkas. GOP lawmakers targeted the Biden official over the ongoing migrant crisis at the U.S. border, accusing him of deliberately flaunting existing immigration law and worsening the situation.  The 214-213 vote was always expected to be tight; Mayorkas narrowly escaped impeachment last week when every single House Democrat showed up to shield him, including Rep. Al G...

Poll: Majority think Biden received ‘special treatment’ in classified documents investigation

By  LAUREN IRWIN | The Hill Just more than half of Americans think President Biden received special treatment when a special counsel did not bring forth charges following a classified documents probe, according to a new poll. The survey, conducted by Reuters and Ipsos, found 53 percent of all respondents agreed with the statement that Biden “received special treatment because he is the U.S. president.” Nearly 30 percent of Democratic respondents said the same. Special counsel Robert Hur released a 388-page report last week detailing his findings after a roughly yearlong investigation into how documents from Biden’s time as vice president ended up at an old office space and his home in Wilmington, Del. The report’s conclusion said Biden “willfully” ret...

Hillary Clinton speech interrupted by protesters calling her ‘war criminal’

By Jenny Goldsberry | Colorado Springs Gazette Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was forced to pause her speech after being shouted down by three protesters during an event at Columbia University on Friday. Clinton was trying to give the opening remarks at an event hosted by the university's Institute of Global Politics and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security. The event was held in the name of "Preventing and Addressing Conflict-Related Sexual Violence." "Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton," a protester shouted out as soon as she took the podium. Clinton looked up, seemingly to meet the gaze of the protester. "That's my name," Clinton responded with a smile. "That's right." READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETT...

‘Uncle Ted’ claims Biden administration is ‘violating’ Constitution by targeting gun purchases

By Jenny Goldsberry | Colorado Springs Gazette Musician and National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent expressed concern over allegations that the Treasury Department is flagging gun purchases as signs of extremism. Nugent appeared on Fox News's America's Newsroom on Friday to respond to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen avoiding questions on the allegations, which came from the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. According to the subcommittee, financial institutions were asked to flag transactions that used terms such as “MAGA” or “TRUMP,” in addition to purchases of a gun or a Bible and even general purchases at stores such as Cabela’s or Dick’s Sporting Goods. Host Dana Perino asked Nugent how gun owner...

Special Counsel Hur: Biden ‘Elderly Man With Poor Memory’

By Philip Wegmann | Real Clear Politics The same week Joe Biden publicly confused two European leaders with their deceased predecessors and passed on the traditional softball Super Bowl Sunday interview, a new report from Special Counsel Robert Hur described the president as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” The confluence of events raised further questions about the mental acuity of the 81-year-old executive, doubts that Biden did little to dispel in a defiant session with the press at the White House Thursday evening. Biden took particular umbrage with what he described as “extraneous commentary” contained in the report. “My memory’s fine. My memory’s – take a look at what I’ve done since I became president,” Biden said sarcastically. “How did that h...

Russian disinformation operations seize on border battle, talk of Texas secession

By Joseph Morton, The Dallas Morning News | Denver Gazette WASHINGTON — Russian disinformation operatives have apparently found a rich vein to tap in their long-running effort to foment U.S. political divisions: the escalating battle between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and President Joe Biden over who is in charge of the southern border. American technology magazine Wired reported this week that it had obtained exclusive access to data from two disinformation research groups showing a coordinated Russian effort to promote the idea that the United States is heading toward civil war. Russian government officials and state-run media outlets have been publicly elevating that narrative by citing the intense U.S. domestic political battles over the border and immigration enfor...

Enraged Biden lashes out at reporters, special counsel after scathing classified docs report: ‘I know what the hell I’m doing!’

BY STEVEN NELSON | NEW YORK POST President Biden lashed out at reporters and special counsel Robert Hur on Thursday night in response to a scathing report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents that could prove devastating to his re-election prospects. Hur’s report on Biden’s improper retention of sensitive material did not recommend criminal charges, but observed that the 81-year-old commander-in-chief appeared greatly diminished mentally, forgetting the dates of key events in his life during an interview with investigators. “I’ve seen the headlines since the report was released about my willful retention of documents. These assertions are not only just misleading, they’re just plain wrong,” Biden said defiantly during a hastily scheduled appearance in the White...
