I’m proud to lead this bipartisan legislation to protect Colorado families and Americans across the country from footing the bill for the energy demands of data centers. I want Colorado to be a place where families can afford to live and work. Protecting families from data center costs is one of the ways I'm doing exactly that.

Colorado doesn't have a revenue problem, Rep. Gonzalez argues, it has a spending priorities problem. Taxpayers deserve accountability for how their dollars are spent. Learn more: bit.ly/3QMESAK #copolitics

American Schools Cost More Than Ever, But Our Students Keep Failing American 15-year-olds are posting near-historic lows in reading and math, even as K-12 spending soars past $21,000 per student nationally. Since 2014, public schools have added over 620,000 staff members while enrollment has dropped by nearly 775,000—operating more like adult jobs programs than learning environments for children. This decline isn't happening in a vacuum. It is driven at the local level by public officials and school leadership—including democratic state representatives and the Adams 12 school board president Lori Goldstein—who have overseen the continuous drop in educational standards across Adams County. Parents are tired of funding failing systems instead of students. It’s time to expand school choice, break free from bureaucratic monopolies, and put families back in control of their children's education. heritage.org/education/comme… cde.state.co.us/schoolview/f…

Another Business Flees Denver: Bad Ass Coffee Pack Up for Kentucky ☕📦 Denver loses yet another headquarters. Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii is officially packing up its Denver HQ and relocating operations to Lexington, Kentucky, after calling the Mile High City home since 2019. While the official corporate statement highlights supply chain logistics and East Coast expansion, the broader trend is impossible to ignore: businesses are reaching their breaking point because of Democratic policies. The Real Cost of Anti-Business Policies When companies leave high-tax, heavily regulated environments for more business-friendly states, it sends a clear signal: Tax Burden: High local and state tax pressures continue to squeeze profit margins, forcing companies to look for states with favorable tax structures. Over-Regulation: Progressive policy agendas and aggressive red tape create an unstable, costly environment for growing brands. Anti-Business Climate: Instead of fostering an environment where enterprises can thrive, tax-and-spend Democratic governance continues to drive away employers, jobs, and capital to states that actually value economic growth. Kentucky gains a growing national brand, an expanded distribution footprint, and headquarters jobs—while Denver gets left with another empty office and a shrinking tax base. How many more corporate departures will it take before local leadership realizes that hostile economic policies have real consequences? bizjournals.com/denver/news/…

You can see @MannyRutinel discomfort as he tries to eat a meat taco. Manny Rutinel's photo opportunity to hide from his vegan activism isn't going as planned. From pretending to be in better shape than a decorated combat veteran like Pete Hegseth, to pretending he enjoys eating meat—nothing about Manny Rutinel is real, except for his craving to destroy our economy and way of life.

Why Freedom Means Voting YES on Prop 135 🗳️ In a recent op-ed, Jon Caldara—president of the Independence Institute—makes the libertarian case for supporting Colorado’s Proposition 135. As a long-time advocate for limited government and parental rights, Caldara outlines why protecting children from irreversible surgery is a proper duty of government. Here are the key takeaways: 🔹 Autonomy vs. Integrity: Adults possess bodily autonomy to make permanent choices. Developing children possess a right to bodily integrity until they reach adulthood. 🔹 Irreversible Decisions: Poor education or bad haircuts can be remedied over time, but amputated healthy tissue cannot grow back. 🔹 A Targeted Measure: Prop 135 specifically targets permanent sex-change surgeries on minors while leaving non-surgical options unaddressed. 🔹 A Government's Core Duty: Just like requiring child seat belts or restricting youth tattoos, protecting minors from physical harm aligns with the government's responsibility to protect individual rights. While parental authority is vital, Caldara argues that no parent has the right to expose a child to permanent physical danger.

🏗️ The Real Cost of Building in the Denver Metro Area: High Taxes & Strict Regulations Spike Construction Prices Building in the Denver metro area is rapidly becoming more expensive than almost anywhere else in the nation, according to recent Q2 reports from major firms like Mortenson and The Beck Group. While factors like labor shortages, rising copper/steel prices, and national data-center demand play a role, the heavy local burden—driven by rigorous municipal regulations, high permitting hurdles, and local tax structures—continues to push regional escalation rates past national averages. 📌 Key Highlights & Article Summary: 📊 Outpacing the Nation: Nonresidential construction costs in Denver jumped 6.84% over the last 12 months (compared to 5.6% nationally). 📈 High Relative Costs: Beck Group reports show Denver consistently ranking among the highest-cost cities analyzed, trailing only South Florida (Miami area). 👷 Labor Shortages & Taxes: Tight trade availability combined with high local operating costs and taxes are forcing developers to pay top-dollar to secure good labor. 📦 Material Spikes: Material input costs remain elevated due to energy volatility and massive national demand—copper piping alone is up 31%, and structural steel is up 16%. 💡 Adaptive Reuse Trend: To bypass high ground-up building costs and regulatory friction, developers are turning to adaptive reuse and residential office conversions, saving significantly per unit compared to high-rise new builds. bizjournals.com/denver/news/…

Socialist Democrat Eileen Laubacher supports a CRAZY, left-wing agenda: * Open borders & amnesty for illegal aliens * Tax hikes on ALL Americans * Welfare handouts for non-citizens * Men in women's sports * Green New Scam WE ARE NOT GOING BACK to this woke, Socialist nightmare.

Pass-through entities (LLCs, S-Corps, Partnerships, Sole Proprietorships) drive half of US business activity. They bypass corporate income tax; instead, net income passes directly to owners' individual tax returns to be taxed at personal income rates.

Colorado’s economic success isn’t an accident—it’s driven by the historic 1987 decision to abandon progressive income tax brackets in favor of a single, flat tax rate. That competitive advantage is now directly under threat.

Iran declared war on the US in 1979 The current escalation between Washington and Tehran isn't a new conflict—it is the latest chapter in a decades-long war defined by Iranian hostility, anti-American ideology, and asymmetric warfare against the United States and its allies. Key Takeaways: The Spark of Hostility: For the United States, the undeclared war officially began in 1979 when Iranian radicals seized the US embassy in Tehran, holding 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days under the banner of "Death to America." Maritime Attacks (1980s): During the Tanker War, Iran targeted American-flagged vessels and commercial shipping in the Persian Gulf, leading to direct military clashes where the US Navy crippled half of Iran's naval fleet. Proxy Violence in Iraq (2000s): Following the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, Tehran deployed state-backed proxy militias like Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq to target American military personnel using improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Direct Escalation & Embassy Attacks: Tensions boiled over when Iranian-backed militias attacked American forces at the al-Taji base and stormed the US Embassy in Baghdad, prompting direct retaliatory strikes against senior Iranian officials, including IRGC Commander Qassem Soleimani. Regional Aggression: Decades of ideological hostility and state-sponsored militia networks have entrenched a cycle of direct and indirect confrontation, leaving the US and Iran locked in an ongoing regional war with no end in sight. Iran has been at war with the US for decades. President Trump finally responded appropriately rather than letting them acquire a nuclear weapon, which they would have surely used on American cities. This was not a war of choice; it was at its boiling point. Of course, Democrats side with the terrorist state. theconversation.com/iran-and… militarytimes.com/news/your-… @SenatorHick since you don't know the history, we thought we would help educate you.

🚨 DEMOCRATIC 'HIDDEN TAX' DROPS $100K FEE STACK ON NEW COLORADO HOMES! 🚨 Is local government policy waging a financial war on the middle class? Thinking about buying a new home in Colorado? You aren't just paying for the land, lumber, and labor—local municipal requirements add up to $100,000+ in taxes, fees, and government-imposed delays before a family ever gets the keys. A study analyzing 16 Colorado cities reveals a staggering 4-fold difference in regulatory costs on the exact same 2,000 sq. ft. home: 💸 Boulder: $101,616 in government taxes & fees 💸 Castle Rock: $82,054 💸 Thornton: $79,503 💸 Denver: $47,376 📉 Colorado Springs: $24,295 💥 How Local Policies Squeeze Homebuyers: 🌊 Sky-High Utility Charges: Tap and connection fees are the single largest component. In Thornton, combined water/sewer charges eat up $57,203—nearly three-quarters of the city's total fee stack! 🏘️ Middle-Class Suburbs Take the Hardest Hit: Government fees make up 18.7% of the total median home price in Castle Rock, 17.2% in Thornton, and nearly 14% in Aurora and Greeley. ⏳ Red Tape Drives Up Costs: Approval delays function as an invisible tax. Denver takes an average of 210 days to review plans, adding roughly $1,750 per month in financing carrying costs directly onto the home's final price tag. 📉 Crushing Housing Supply: Cities charging lower fees permitted 4.5x more housing units per capita than high-fee cities. Government regulation now accounts for over 26% of a new home's final price tag nationwide. These policies price hard-working families out of the market, turning the dream of homeownership into an unaffordable luxury. 🏠💸 commonsenseinstituteus.org/r…
