Shamblin: President Trump pardons pro-life political prisoners for crime of peacefully protesting

By Scott Shamblin | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In a monumental victory for the pro-life movement and justice itself, President Donald J. Trump has officially pardoned several pro-life political prisoners who were unjustly persecuted for their unwavering defense of the unborn. President Trump’s decision to pardon 23 pro-life political prisoners marks a turning point in the battle for justice. These elderly grandparents, sons, daughters, mothers and fathers, were not violent criminals but peaceful advocates for the unborn, unfairly targeted by the Biden Administration’s discriminatory enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Their crime? Exercising their 1st Amendment rights in defense of innocent life. The FACE Act, passed in 1994, was suppos...

Trump’s immigration orders to stop public funding of sanctuary cities could cost Denver hundreds of millions

By Deborah Grigsby and Nico Brambila | The Denver Gazette Colorado's most populous city faces the risk of losing hundreds of millions of federal dollars under a slew of directives that President Donald Trump issued as part of his campaign to crack down on illegal immigration, a crisis that has spilled over from the border into America's interior cities.  In an executive order, Trump outlined a series of actions to combat the "unprecedented flood of illegal immigrants” into the county. Specifically, Trump has tasked the U.S. Attorney General and the U.S. Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security with the power to ensure “so-called sanctuary jurisdictions" do not receive access to federal funds.   Such jurisdictions, the executive order said, seek to ...

Trump lays out Coloradan Chris Wright’s focus, to unleash ‘liquid gold’ at home and abroad

By Thelma Grimes | Colorado Politics President Donald Trump vowed to bring down domestic prices and position America as an energy exporter by unleashing the “liquid gold” flowing beneath U.S. soil, stripping away what he deemed to be excessive regulations and adopting a slew of policies favorable to oil and gas drilling.  “Once again, we will work to make America an energy producer. We'll bring prices down, fill strategic reserves up to the top, and export American energy all over the world,” he said during his inauguration speech on Monday. Chris Wright, a Denver businessman and Trump’s pick for Energy secretary, will play a key role in carrying out the vision. READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS

Colorado lawmakers react to inauguration of President Donald Trump

By Heather Willard | KDVR-TV Fox 31 News Donald J. Trump was sworn in to serve as U.S. President for the second time on Monday, Jan. 20, drawing reactions from around the world, but also from some of Colorado’s lawmakers. Trump named Colorado several times during his campaign for presidency, and visited Aurora in October to speak about immigration and the gang violence reported at troubled apartments in the city. Those apartments are now under an emergency closure order, and the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency said in December that 16 people arrested in connection to an armed apartment invasion were suspected Tren de Aragua members or associates.

Trump yanks security clearances of intel officials who spread disinformation about Hunter Biden’s laptop

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday night revoking the security clearances of 51 former intelligence officials who falsely claimed emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian “disinformation” to help Joe Biden’s 2020 election prospects. The directive also pulls the security clearance of John Bolton, who served as national security advisor in Trump’s first term. “To remedy these abuses of the public trust, this Order directs the revocation of any active or current security clearances held by: (i) the former intelligence officials who engaged in misleading and inappropriate political coordination with the 2020 Biden presidential campaign; and (ii) John R. Bolton,” the order reads. The infamous Oct. 19, 2020, let...

During the 47th President's inaugural address and in the days leading to it, Mr. Trump promised to sign about 200 first-day executive orders on a variety of measures he did not specifically identify, which he said would restore America's greatness.
