First Migrant Bus Arrives In El Paso County

By The Lobby | The Lobby Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's sanctuary city policies have come under fire once again, this time for his apparent change of heart regarding the busing of indigent migrants to other cities. Just a few weeks ago, Johnston criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott for employing a similar strategy, calling it "inhumane, reckless, and inefficient." However, it seems that the mayor now sees no issue with transferring the burden of these migrants to other municipalities. On January 28th, a bus carrying migrants arrived in Colorado Springs from Denver. El Paso County Commissioner District 2, Carrie Geitner, expressed her concern, telling Fox21, "This is not just a local challenge. It is a national emergency and it's destroying cities and communities around our natio...

Define the term carpetbagger: Rep. Mike Lynch Challenges Lauren Boebert on ‘Seat Shopping’

By The Lobby Rep. Mike Lynch's direct questioning of Rep. Lauren Boebert during a recent Republican primary debate continues to draw national attention and spark discussions about Boebert's ‘seat shopping’ controversy. Lynch's no-nonsense approach has garnered support from voters, who see it as a testament to his straight talk nature. On the crowded debate stage in Fort Lupton, Lynch posed a pointed question to Boebert, asking her to define the term "carpetbagger." The audience reacted with gasps and murmurs, highlighting the significance of the question in the race for Colorado's 4th Congressional District seat. Rep. Mike Lynch didn't sugarcoat the question to Rep. Lauren Boebert, “Could you give the definition of ‘carpetbagger?'" Boebert claimed that leaving her old di...

Democrats Throw Woman Out of Hearing for Not Being Woke Enough on Criminal Trans Issues

By the Lobby A Colorado resident was removed while giving testimony on a controversial bill to the state House Judiciary Committee Tuesday. “Sex matters, it matters in prisons, it matters in sports, it matters in my bathroom, misgender is nothing, it means nothing,” the woman says to the committee as trans members of the of audience hiss. “So, the person this bill is written after it is, is, is literally an admitted former prostitute and other literature and he works with Children.” According to the bill’s sponsor, HB 24-1071 or “Tiara's Law,” aims to simplify the process of legally changing names for convicted felons seeking gender affirming care while incarcerated. It was inspired by Tiara Latrice Kelley, a transgender drag queen with a lengthy criminal history who has been conv...

Fewer Republicans that Gays, According to Colorado House Democrat

By the Lobby Recent claims by outspoken queer Colorado legislator Rep. Leslie Herod that, “there are more young people today who identify as LBGTQ than they do Republican,” have raised more than just a few eyebrows. Herod’s use of squish facts have been called into question in the past, especially during debate of the poorly conceived police accountability bill. The passage of SB20-217 resulted in a spike in crime, drug use and physical assault. But Rep. Herod’s recent unfounded claim that there are more LGBTQ+ young people than Republicans is far more than just rhetoric it reflects a narrow perspective rather than an accurate representation of the state's demographics.

Businesses Flee Denver in Mass Due to Safety Concerns and Remote Work Opportunities

By the Lobby The mass exodus of businesses from Denver has reached a critical point, with CEOs citing financial viability, safety concerns, and cleanliness as the driving factors behind their decision to pack up and leave. The city's policies and the influx of indigent migrants and homeless individuals have created an environment that is increasingly challenging for businesses and their employees. Denver's once highly coveted Mile High City office real estate market has lost its luster, and the consequences are evident. According to Moody's Analytics data, a staggering 21.7% of office space across the Denver metro area was vacant at the end of last year, surpassing the national average of 19.6%. The commercial real estate firm CBRE reported even more severe vacancy rates at 31.5%,...

Colorado Democrats Push a radical Climate Change Agenda in Colorado’s Public Schools

By The Lobby Democrat lawmakers are making a new effort to spread their climate change agenda in the state's public schools. Senate Bill 14, proposed by State Sen. Chris Hanson, aims to introduce what the bill calls "climate literacy" into the curriculum. However, critics argue that this move is just another example of liberal Democrats pushing an agenda-driven curriculum while neglecting important subjects like American history, personal finance, and government.

Colorado Democrats Push Controversial Bill, Undermining Parental Rights and Imposing Extreme Ideology on Foster Families

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM A deeply concerning bill has been introduced in Colorado that seeks to impose a highly controversial and destructive policy on foster families. Colorado HB 24-1017, known as the Bill of Rights for Foster Youth, would compel foster families in the state to affirm the chosen gender identity of a foster child under their care. This alarming legislation, sponsored by Democrat Rep. Lindsey Daugherty, is yet another example of Colorado Democrats eroding parental rights in favor of an extreme and divisive woke agenda. The bill claims to protect the rights of children and youth in foster care, including those who identify as LGBTQ+. While it is crucial to ensure fair and equal treatment for all individuals, this bill goes too far by mandating that foster famil...

Colorado Environmental Group Challenges Army Corps of Engineers Over $2B River Diversion Plan

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM A Colorado environmental group has taken legal action against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, seeking to overturn a $2 billion project that aims to redirect river water to the state's expanding northern communities. Save the Poudre, a nonprofit organization, filed a lawsuit in a federal district court in Denver, arguing that the permit issued by the Army Corps for the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) should be invalidated. The NISP, spearheaded by Northern Water, involves the construction of two new reservoirs and the piping of an additional 40,000 acre-feet of water to 15 providers in Northern Colorado. With the region's population expected to double by 2050, Northern Water emphasizes the need to enhance the water supply to maintain a ...

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM A bill is making its way through the Colorado state legislature, sparking debate and some criticism from those who argue that it is an example of unnecessary overregulation and needless laws.

Former Judge’s Opinion on Trump’s Disqualification Raises Concerns

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM A former Republican judge, Clark Erickson, appointed to hear arguments on whether to disqualify former President Donald J. Trump from the Illinois primary ballot, made headlines on Sunday with his opinion that Trump engaged in insurrection by attempting to remain in office after the 2020 election. While Erickson's opinion will be considered by the State Board of Elections, he also stated that the board lacks the authority to disqualify Trump on those grounds, suggesting that the matter should be left to the courts. While Trump has been found ineligible for the primaries in Colorado and Maine. The former president is likely to appear on the primary ballots in those states as the U.S. Supreme Court considers an appeal of the Colorado ruling. In Illinoi...
