Pollak: Biden Kills Up to 70,000 Jobs on First Day in Office

Breitbart: President Joe Biden’s first day in office may have been historic in more ways than one: he may have set a single-day record for the number of jobs killed by an American president.

Biden revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, as promised. In so doing, he killedsome 11,000 direct jobs that the pipeline’s construction was to have created, and an estimated 60,000 indirect jobs in secondary, related industries.

Sen. Cotton backs Rep. Buck's bill toughening penalties for rioters, slams lawbreakers 'no matter their party affiliation'

Fox NewsSen. Tom Cotton is joining Rep. Ken Buck in introducing for the new Congress a bill to strengthen federal penalties for rioters in the wake of violence from the right at the Capitol and from the left in the West this month. 

Buck, R-Colo., first introduced the legislation, called the BRICKS Act, in November, following months of protests last year that often turned into riots. They started in the late spring and continued through the summer and into the fall before the presidential election. Buck at the time condemned "an unprecedented amount of violence from riots organized by Antifa and other radical leftist groups."

Opinion: Politicians’ challenge to Colorado’s TABOR is without merit

Colorado Sun: TABOR has also increased the accountability, transparency, and fiscal responsibility of state government. But it has done more than that. 

Going back to earliest days of the republic and the tradition of the New England town meeting, the voice of the people has been paramount.

That’s why the U.S. Constitution begins with the words “We, the People,” not “we, the politicians.” The legislators’ attempt to use the courts to silence taxpayers and overturn the will of the people on a matter so clearly within the people’s power is a dangerous usurpation and should not be endorsed by the 10th Circuit or any other court.

On grounds of both process and substance, the politicians’ attempt to get rid of TABOR falls short. After almost 10 years of back and forth, the court should swiftly dispense with this case and declare the people of Colorado the winners.
