Colorado, with its Democrat governor, Democrat House, Democrat Senate and Democrat state Supreme Court, which flagrantly tried to impose its own politics and ban President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot only to get slammed by the U.S. Supreme Court, has turned itself into a haven for leftists.

And as leftists are apt to do, sometimes they go too far.

As it has now with a new gun restriction.

President Donald Trump's new appointee to the Civil Rights division of the Department of Justice has uncovered a stunningly simple way to clear out the "woke" ideologists from the department: Tell them to do their job.

The new chief, Harmeet Dhillon, has just explained the process to broadcaster Glenn Beck.

A PJMedia report said she explained the "resistance" in the department's different divisions are "self-deporting."

The report noted the DOJ "was full" of "ideologues," "entitled, leftist, wannabe lawyers" who keep coming out of law schools and ending up as "government lawyers."

"Goodness knows the DOJ was full of those lawyers starting with the Obama administration and through the Biden no-hold-barred attacks on civil liberties. Trump 45 never had a chance," the report said.

But when she took over only weeks ago, Dhillon explained that the job of the lawyers in the department is to protect civil rights, and that would include targeting anti-Semitism and anti-Christian discrimination.

Long have there been questions about how some of America's elected leaders acquire so much wealth.

While those who seek seats in Congress generally come from a background of political or business successes, and their salaries, currently $174,000 for members, are far above the average for Americans, still questions arise because after a number of years in office, some report net worth of not just tens of millions of dollars but hundreds of millions.

The result is obvious: questions about insider trading, because they are the ones who set policy and establish actions that actually change the economics of certain industries or investments, and they have advance knowledge of their own plans.

One such situation involved two-time House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, when reports confirmed she pushed billions in federal aid for electric vehicles and her husband's stock in Tesla, an EV manufacturer, surged in value.

So U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is proposing a new law that would crack down on such situations that certainly create the appearance of conflicts of interest and insider knowledge.

And he's calling it the PELOSI Act, an acronym for "Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments."

President Donald Trump, when elected to his second term, created the Executive Branch office called the Department of Government Efficiency, told billionaire Elon Musk to start saving taxpayer money, and let the Tesla company owner and his hired staff loose.

Billions of dollars were cut from the federal spending plan, hundreds of thousands of federal jobs were cut.

But by the nature of the actions under executive order, a later president, leftist in his or her leanings, could reverse them.

So there's a plan now to embed the changes in federal law, which also can be changed but is a much more laborious process.

A report at Just the News explains it is Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna who has introduced a bill to accomplish that goal.

It would codify actions by DOGE into federal law.

Chuck Todd, the former longtime anchor of NBC's "Meet The Press," is melting down over recent claims the national news media covered up the failing mental health of former President Joe Biden.

"I just refuse to accept this stupid premise because it's a ring-wing manufactured, right-wing premise in order to stain the media," Todd told ex-CNN pundit Chris Cillizza on his Substack channel Monday.

"This is not a media failure. This is a failure of the Democratic Party."

"This isn't WMDs [Weapons of Mass Destruction], where the White House worked with the mainstream media to manufacture a story that did not exist. That was a press failure, massive press failure," Todd explained, alluding to biased news coverage of President George W. Bush's "War on Terror."

Can the state legislature's Democrat majority in Maine simply remove the representation rights of thousands of residents by voting to banish their representative from voting and speaking?

Further, can they punish that lawmaker personally over her opinions and thoughts?

The Supreme Court will be asked to decide.

It is Maine Rep. Laurel Libby who was suspended from participating in the legislature, to which she was elected, because, Democrats say, she posted the name and image of a juvenile online.

However, Democrats earlier refused to punish one of their own party for doing essentially the same thing, so that argument holds little water.

So the fight is reduced to the fact that Libby objects to the transgender ideology of having boys say they are girls, and then compete in girls' sports events, and that belief is what the Democrats won't tolerate.

A report at Fox revealed Libby has confirmed she'll appeal her case to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking for emergency intervention after Democrats censured her.

A federal appeals court earlier sided with the censorship of her opinions and thoughts.

"For over 100 days, my constituents have had no say in any actions taken by their government, actions that directly impact their lives," Libby said. "Every vote taken on the floor of the legislature is a vote my constituents cannot get back. The good people of our district have been silenced and disenfranchised.

Only a few weeks ago, the transgender agenda took a huge blow in the United Kingdom when its Supreme Court ruled that men who say they are female are not "women."

The stunning decision reversed an agenda that long had been making inroads into society there.

Now there's been a second blow.

According to a report in the National.Scot, a judge has ruled that schools in Scotland are required to provide single-sex facilities for children.

The Scottish Borders Council had been taken to court by two parents who pulled their child out of Earlston Primary School after its bosses proposed a new building – providing only unisex lavatories.

"Lady Ross KC issued a declarator – a court order – making clear the legal obligations on Scottish schools to provide single-sex facilities after a challenge from parents Sean Stratford and Leigh Hurley," the report said.

Those "Pride" events held all across America periodically to promote the alternative sexual lifestyle choices of the LGBT agenda are looking less and less like the excesses of yesteryear when public nudity was common and featured was "deviant revelry," before the agenda "inserted itself into grade schools."

A plunge in corporate funding is impacting their outlooks, in a major way.

That's happening as DEI, those "diversity, equity and inclusion" ideologies, are losing their attractiveness for companies facing White House opposition, public exposure and stockholder and customer criticism.

A commentary at PJMedia pointed out, "In 2025, it's all trending in the right direction. New York City and Seattle's Pride organizations each say they're suffering a $350k deficit this year. Pride St. Louis is short $150k. Twin Cities Pride is about $200k short for its June Pride bacchanalia. So is the infamous San Francisco festival."

The report even noted that San Francisco Pride Executive Director Suzanne Ford noted, "Will we be able to keep the doors open? You know, that's what I'm most concerned about now."

The plunge in funding for the ideology has been documented by Bloomberg, which pointed out in a report organizers of those events "are scrambling to make up hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost corporate sponsorships."

It noted the entitlement that the leftist event promoters feel, as Andi Otto, of Twin Cities Pride, said, "We spend our money as a community in these corporations and I want them to give back. They should give back."

The report documented a survey of dozens of corporate executives confirming 40% are scaling back their "Pride" month involvements.

"That includes both internal engagement like promoting workplace equity and public-facing participation like sponsoring or appearing in Pride events," the report said.

Democrats across America have used the talking point "destroying democracy" to describe anything they don't like.

It's Donald Trump. It's identification for voting. It's secured ballot counts.

Now, apparently, it's a majority of Democrats.

That's because a report at Complete Colorado explains how the majority of Democrats in the state are trying to banish citizen comments from the state's "democracy." Democrats hold the majority in both the House and Senate in Colorado, as well as the governor's office.

This is the state where all Democrats on the state Supreme Court tried to ban President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot. This is the state that has gone to the Supreme Court twice, in its attempts to dictate the thoughts and censor the statements of business owners.

And lost twice.

Now the Complete Colorado article confirms, "A new Democrat-backed bill moving rapidly through the Colorado legislature poses a serious threat to one of the most fundamental rights in our state Constitution: the right of citizens to initiate laws through the petition process."

This comes at a time when lawmakers are also attacking the state's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, a constitutional amendment from decades back that requires voter approval for tax increases beyond the growth of the population and inflation.

It's already been undermined by state lawmakers who repeatedly have claimed that their new taxes actually are not taxes but "fees."

For example, there are road and bridge "fees" that apply only to Colorado-registered vehicles, whose owners must pay to use roads and bridges. Of course, travelers using the same roads and bridges pay no such "fees."

Leftist courts in the state have agreed that those taxes, in fact, are "fees."

The report noted the legislation has already passed the House and a Senate committee.

It would "significantly restrict the ability of Coloradans to bring citizen initiatives forward. Among other provisions, it shortens an already tight timeline for title-setting, imposes new procedural hurdles, and adds new fines of up to $1,500 on petition organizers for non-compliance with reporting requirements," the report said.

"What makes this particularly alarming is the inclusion of the 'safety clause' — legislative language that declares the bill is necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, or safety. The practical effect? Voters are prohibited from filing a referendum to challenge the law at the ballot box. It's an ironic — and telling — twist that a bill restricting petition rights also blocks any citizen-led challenge of its own passage."

The report noted that both Republicans and Democrats have previously used the initiative process.

The moves in Colorado, the report warned, "reflect a troubling trend: elected officials using their power not to expand democratic engagement, but to restrict it. Colorado voters have repeatedly voiced support for transparency, fiscal limits, and the right to challenge government action through the initiative process. Yet here we are again — with those same rights back on the chopping block."

Democrats long have let their rhetoric move at full speed into dangerous territory, where they actually are seen as advocating for violence, even criminal violence.

Now Illinois Gov. JB Pritzer, a Democrat billionaire, has joined the ranks of those making suspicious comments.

The Federalist reports at a special Democrat assembly, he said, "Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on a soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box."

He then called out his party, the "do-nothing Democrats" who "want to blame our losses on our defense of black people, of trans kids, of immigrants…"

"We will never join so many Republicans in the special place in hell reserved for quislings and cowards," Pritzker said, the report revealed. "We will relegate their portraits to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traitors."

The Federalist explained, "The language is all too familiar and can only be described as assassination prep –– carefully cloaked in moral outrage –– designed to incite the most egregious acts of political violence. His words follow the same formula of other leftists: frame the political opposition as not merely wrong, but evil and tyrannical, then justify any means to defeat them. Such language is meant to dehumanize their opponents and provide moral permission for violence."
