Denver’s Failed Universal Income Program Opens the Floodgates to Non-Citizen Migrants

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM In a controversial move that has sparked outrage among many citizens, the city of Denver's bankrupting sanctuary city policies have extended the eligibility of their failed universal income program to non-citizen migrants. The Denver Basic Income Program, which was initially introduced in 2021 with $2 million in funding from the city, has now announced its extension for another six months starting in February 2024. The program, which pays homeless individuals a regular stipend, was intended to assist citizens in need. However, the recent decision to include non-citizen migrants raises serious concerns about the city's financial stability and its commitment to prioritizing its own residents. According to the city's statement, the $2 million allocated ...

Colorado’s Push for Multiple Housemates to Solve ‘Affordable Housing’ Raises Concerns

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM A controversial bill introduced in the Colorado legislature aims to tackle the state's housing shortage by prohibiting cities from implementing limits on how many people can live together. House Bill 24-1007, one of many bills being considered, has sparked criticism as it disregards the potential negative consequences of overcrowding and undermines property rights. The proposed bill would ban occupancy limits based on factors such as familial status and relationship, only allowing restrictions tied to a dwelling's square footage if necessary for health and safety. Proponents argue that the legislation is necessary to address the rising costs of housing and to provide more affordable options for individuals and families. PRIME SPONSORS Rep. Manny Ruti...

Truck Convoy Heading to Southern Border Calling Itself An ‘Army of God.’

By the Lobby A convoy of self-proclaimed ‘patriotic Americans’ is gearing up to head to the U.S.-Mexico border next week, as tensions between Texas and the federal government continue to escalate. Dubbed the "Take Our Border Back" convoy, the organizers have named themselves as "God's army" on a mission to combat the so-called globalists who they believe are conspiring to keep the U.S. borders open and undermine the nation. During a recent planning call, one of the convoy organizers described the event as a monumental moment orchestrated by God. Another participant emphasized the need for the faithful remnant, referring to the Book of Revelation, to rise against the dark forces of evil. While these statements may resonate with some, experts warn that the Christian nationalist over...

The Border Patrol Union Denounces Supreme Court Ruling Allowing Removal of Razor Wire on Texas-Mexico Border

By the Lobby The recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the removal of razor wire along the southern border between Texas and Mexico has ignited a fierce debate between the Texas authorities and the US federal government. This weekend, Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd strongly condemned the recent decision, stating that agents are against cutting down the barbed-wire fences. In a recent appearance on Newsmax's Saturday Report, Judd expressed his disapproval of the Supreme Court ruling, which grants the federal government the constitutional authority to remove the barbed wire on the Texas-Mexico border. While the Border Patrol has been directed to dismantle the razor wire, the Texas National Guard has been actively installing more wire, which Judd clarified does not viola...

Failed Liberalism: A city of 710,000 struggles to cope with 40,000 indigent migrants

By the Lobby Denver, a city with a population of just over 710,000, has found itself at the forefront of the migrant crisis, with nearly 40,000 indigent migrants arriving in the past year. This makes Denver the top destination per capita for newly arrived migrants crossing the U.S. southern border and traveling north in buses from Texas. It is all too apparent that Denver’s "sanctuary city" policies have failed its taxpayers, leaving them to bear the burden. The influx of migrants is taking a toll and has stretched city services to the breaking point. Starting February 5th, the city will be implementing measures to limit the number of days migrants can stay in shelters. Those who exceed their stay will be forced out onto the streets, further exacerbating the already dire situation...

Secretary of State Griswold faces backlash for regulation push

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has recently announced a series of proposed bills for the upcoming legislative session, claiming that her top priority is to protect Colorado voters. Griswold's main target this session appears to be AI, as she expressed her intention to hold accountable anyone attempting to defraud Coloradans or the American people. While the goal of preventing fraud is commendable, the proposed bill requiring disclaimers for AI content featuring Colorado candidates or officials raises concerns about the potential infringement on free speech and the stifling of political discourse. Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to combat the use of AI in creating deep fakes and spreading misinformation. They claim that requi...

Shaw, owner of a local car wash at Buckley, revealed the reality of his daily life, which now includes sleepless nights spent monitoring surveillance cameras to protect his business from criminals. Last August, Shaw's car wash became the target of a brazen truck ramming incident. The thieves planned to strike at the "heart of this operation," Shaw recounted. Although nothing was stolen during this incident, the repair cost amounted to a staggering $23,000. In November, another break-in occurred, resulting in the theft of $600 from a pay station.

Another Antisemitic Protest in Downtown Denver Organized by Pro-Palestinian Groups
